nov 11th, 2010

RajeevSrinivasa @dhume01 yes, we differ. i felt bilateral movement still handicapped by non-prolif fundies in Dem party. agree tho that india has to step up 1d ago  via Seesmic Web   in reply to   dhume01

dhume01 @RajeevSrinivasa Shall have to agree to disagree. To me old non-proliferation agenda clearly superceded by bilateral relationship. 1d ago  via web   in reply to   RajeevSrinivasa

RajeevSrinivasa @dhume01  in my humble opinion, it did not, or it was lost in the noise about UNSC-like stuff. didnt emphasize india's legit afghan interests 1d ago  via Seesmic Web   in reply to   dhume01

dhume01 @RajeevSrinivasa And you don't think this visit sent both those signals? 1d ago  via web   in reply to   RajeevSrinivasa

RajeevSrinivasa @dhume01 pressure still on for cap, rollback, eliminate; backdoor NPT, CTBT, FMCT, loss of strategic deterrent all possibilities 1d ago  via Seesmic Web   in reply to   dhume01

RajeevSrinivasa @dhume01  a strong signal that US getting away from 'india is the problem in afghan' and 'if you give kashmir to pak, all will be fine' memes 1d ago  via Seesmic Web   in reply to   dhume01

dhume01 @RajeevSrinivasa  I'm curious: What would have qualified as a successful visit for you? 1d ago  via web   in reply to   RajeevSrinivasa

dhume01 @RajeevSrinivasa  No chance India will sign NPT. Indians who worked on NSG etc. issue in MEA are pleased.On DAE, I agree with you. 1d ago  via web   in reply to   RajeevSrinivasa

RajeevSrinivasa @dhume01  faint noises about SC, but no endorsement: weak. call for role east asia interesting: mirrors earlier call for china for s asia 1d ago  via Seesmic Web   in reply to   dhume01

RajeevSrinivasa @dhume01 NSG etc will require NPT signature as non-weapons state, and in nuke sellers interest. agree re blacklist, but DAE still suffers 1d ago  via Seesmic Web   in reply to   dhume01

dhume01 @RajeevSrinivasa And support for India in NSG (and other regimes) + high tech for ISRO, DRDO and BSL are substantive by any measure. 1d ago  via web   in reply to   RajeevSrinivasa

dhume01 @RajeevSrinivasa : Support for UNSC seat (global ambition) and for Indian role in Afpak (regional pre-eminence) are symbolic but important. 1d ago  via web   in reply to   RajeevSrinivasa

RajeevSrinivasa  really? i found the visit low in substance. RT @dhume01 : WSJ.com: Opinion Asia: A Deeper U.S.-India Relationship  http://on.wsj....
