What does the US have to offer? Other than sanctions, threats, and instability? Indian Industry cannot run on sanctions.

US has no leverage against India. India has a longstanding relationship with Russia.

As long as you have folks like Blinken there is no way US and India can have good relations, we know how much US has shown human rights across the globe

Lol ... If The US can't even offer cheap energy cheap weapons to India than dream on my friend

[factstruths]

This is a CONCRETE example of meddling into others affair.ITs clearly showing, telling India to be a SERVANT and just listen to my orders.Join Rest of the world, to be world leaders instead of a servant.

India is Not Stupid. India Loves Cheap oil.

The fact is USA can't afford to impose sanction on India, because if it does it's USA who's going to loose in this .
It will loose the acess to largest and fastest growing market in the world .
India will trade in other currencies, Dollar 💸 will weaken, American companies which are doing great business in India, their business will be run over by Indian companies and other companies . This will also make Indian companies more competitive which will directly challenge American companies at Global Level . Inflation will be on Mars as common Americans will have to pay many times more for simple daily products & service because they are produced at fraction of cost in India .
Overall it will be va great opportunity for India to be self dependent and emerage more stronger .
So in short WE in India didn't care about US sanctions .
We will rise no matter what US does .

After the Covid reporting you did, I am truly astounded that there are people who still believe anything you say. Well, it just goes to show that fools will always be fools.

[manumudgal]

India will attend all summits weather it involve US or Russia, don't be so happy

This idea to “pull away from Russia” is the reading india don’t trust you… relationships doesn’t build on base of 3rd country…

[eymeeraosaka]

Yes I agree with you that over time the US can succeed in pulling India away from Russia because everyone has a price? In India's case I would think it is economic development and technology transfers. Is this the price the US is willing to pay, especially technology transfer? For a long time India has been begging Britain and the US for nuclear submarine technology? Both countries refused adamantly but US was more than willing to offer it to Australia? It was Russia finally gave the technology to India. Furthermore, does the US has the patience as in any relationship, courting takes time and this is the US achilles heel. American leaders are not wired to think long term nor being patient. They prefer instant result and habitually uses threats to achieve that.
