India's foreign policy in 2026 looks chaotic if you read it as reactive diplomacy.
It looks inevitable if you read it as a 2,300 year old text doing exactly what it said it would do.
Kautilya wrote the manual. Jaishankar is just following it closely.

End result of meeting..
JD Vance humiliated by Qatar and Iran.
Sharif and Muneer humiliated. Pakistan humiliated by their represenation in a failed talk.
Iran FM Baghchi saved face by running away before talking to anyone or taking photos.
Trump indirectly caused the humiliation by tweeting about threats to Iran during the peace deal with Iran🤣
Pakistan has clearly outdone and outsmarted India here in taking part in a ritual humiliation that achieved nothing other than a few good laughs for everyone watching🤣 And wasted aviation fuel😭
@DrSJaishankar masterfully won this by never participating in the farce🫡🫡
I am not sure what securing energy needs has to do with the Vance Munir meet or about AI taking jobs which is again completely unrelated to what you claimed. "Outsmarted"..again you didn't tell how Pakistan has outsmarted India here..what did it get that India didn't🤷🏻
Still waiting bro🙏🏻
You keep avoiding the exact payoff that Pakistan gained and India lost due to this meetup..You keep giving labels to India without any receipts..And keep pivoting to non related topics and bringing in unrelated actors in this as metaphors..It isn't a zero sum game for India bro..India is a global player in nobody's alliance but its own which is looking to expand trade and make deals with everyone..Pakistan is looking for survival and defines its existence as anti India..India doesn't define its existence as anti Pakistan..different goals.. different payoffs🤷🏻
@furnuwees@AdityaRajKaul In what way did this meet outsmart India bro? Where's the payoff that India missed out on? What did Pakistan gain that India didn't🤷🏻
Pakistan has been a US satellite since its inception..A postion that India from Nehru times had rejected..outsmarted indicates Pakistan got some payoff from this that India was seeking..
Pakistan needs IMF loan bailout..India doesn't. Pakistan needs the F16 deals..India doesn't have them and seeks Rafale and its own system instead..Pakistan needs relevance as the poster child of Ummah..India was never part of it..Pakistan needs legitimacy by virtue of its postion to USA..India has never needed that as it plays second fiddle to none being non aligned..
So again Machiavelli dp bro? Where's the outsmart?
Infact your Prince Trump just openly declared he will defend India against Pakistan..Vance his deputy declared he loves Pakistan but no defence commitment🤔 that's not how the Prince must do diplomacy between 2 enemies. He must declare complete allegiance to the weaker one. No confusion🤷🏻
It is not US concern that India does not understand geo politics and has been outsmarted by Pakistan.
India has a weird sense of its role and standing in the world. No one cares what India was 3,000 years ago. Just like no one cares what Iran / Persia was 3,000 years ago.
India is weak, corrupt, inefficient and has been outsmarted by an even weaker, corrupt and a failing society called Pakistan.

Americans are going to regret this statement so badly one day.
JD Vance says:
“I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life. An Indian and a Pakistani. The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir.”
@mujifren India has stray dog problem, China has dog eating problem 🤷🏻
Dhando minded people can solve the logistics and build the next Indian unicorn doing the needful 🤡
There's no way to differentiate for the Israelis..PLO before and then PA and Hamas all took leadership and ended up being terrorist groups..no way for Palestine to have a legitimate political representation unless it's these and they are Qatar funded who are ensuring the war goes on and on..it's too late now🤷🏻
