Good time to pick up India as an ally if Trump is smart

But Trump isn't smart

So we fucked

India wouldn't exactly play factionalism even then, they benefitted the most from being non aligned and playing both sides

We're not setting off ww3 over Pakistan/India.

India is ruled by a fascist government so... uh... yeah. Not a good time to pick up India.

India must be regretting its life choices in allying with Russia. China and the US are pro-Pakistan and the rest of the west is annoyed at how much they’ve helped Russia to invade Ukraine.

How could they have made different allies?

People don't know but India most likely remembers the US and the West Pakistani involvement in East Pakistan and how USSR prevented an escalation of a genocide in what is today Bangladesh.

China is with Pakistan for the port. India has nothing to offer to change that relationship.

Funny thing is, most of the blood money didn’t even go to government. It went to koffers of a few capitalist cunts.

how does pakistan accept this friendship so freely when calling themselves the champions of islam while sitting by silently through the uyghur genocide?

Why is there always a push to pick sides though
