The irony is that the U.S. and India are "Major Defense Partners," conduct joint military exercises and cooperate across the Indo-Pacific. Yet the U.S. Navy has launched missile strikes against commercial tankers in international waters and killed Indian merchant mariners.
The U.S. Navy had direct communications with the crews of the three foreign-flagged commercial tankers and was fully aware of their Indian nationality before launching the strikes that killed three crew members this week.
This echoes March, when the U.S. Navy torpedoed and sank, in India's backyard, an Iranian frigate returning in a non-combat configuration after largely expending its munitions during an India-hosted multilateral naval exercise in which the U.S. also participated.
And just as the U.S. Navy did not attempt to rescue the sailors from the sinking frigate, it likewise did not come to the aid of the surviving Indian crew members aboard the three tankers it struck. The rescue efforts were mounted instead by Omani authorities.
It is noteworthy that the vessels Washington labels part of a "shadow fleet" transporting crude oil are largely linked to China and Russia. Yet since the Trump-ordered naval blockade began on April 13 without any basis in international law, the U.S. military has not struck a single tanker actively bound for, or coming directly from, either China or Russia.
Striking such a vessel would transform a localized naval blockade into a direct geopolitical confrontation with Beijing or Moscow — a line the Trump administration has explicitly avoided crossing. Instead, it has employed kinetic force only against lower-profile vessels, including those carrying Indian crew members.
Taken together, these incidents are a sad commentary on the state of India's foreign policy under the present government.
@pulkit_mittal_@_groww Products in India are designed to get cheap engagement and maximise low hanging fruit conversion- if you think of it charging for number change will impact the lower 5% of their conversion tier who run from sim to sim based on tarrif - frankly this is boring
@SatanAtWink@mybmc Fascinating how such a high value engineering project gets declared as fit for use and we see jcb sarkar breaking residential compounds and flexing about law and order. We are in Maharashtra so we must be Mahachu****
Sir. I think maybe I speak for a small but valid percentage of India when I say couldn’t care less what the congress did anymore. Let it go. India moved on. They are not in power for their deeds. We did jokes about them for years, we booed them at the commonwealth games, they were a punch line on this platform for years, they got voted out. That’s life. These kids giving exams don’t even remember a congress govt. Questions can only be asked of those in power. That’s not being selective, it’s just called living in the present. No one dealing with a paper leak cares about BJP/Congress or Hindu/Muslim or any partisan bullshit. They’re worried about the future.
@theskindoctor13 what do you expect - they sitbak and allow the system to take its course of inaction, while they loose time, hope and future ? - sometimes goals align thats it.
@Nher_who Well she is speaking to her vote bank - who are predominantly stupid or the pseudo intellects who have frozen their brain after graduating - she understands how smart her voters are so she can deliver this with a straight face
@amastays_trails dear team my confirmation id is 45619SG001122 - none of your emails or phones are responding to my mail its been over 2 days. Is this the service response to expect for my stay ?
@GyanTherapy Tech reviewers do the consumer community a lot of service. Its the door to knowing where we want to spend our money. Personally it’s shameful the tactics these “tech ceo” of India resort to when they are cslled out for open fraud. These ceos even lack the basic skills of a cheat
@Gadgetsdata Typical indian “tech” ceo - we are all about india , we are better than the rest, we are the first , we are the best - consumer “ great , can we verify your claims ? “ tech guru - “ dare you question me and my intentions “ you are banished. At this point he is better of hiding
@iramsubramanian She is a cartoon - but its also the kind of ministry this govt likes to maintain - hand tied puppets who execute the whims of the leader supreme
