'What does India do? With his US policy tilting to the US side and simultaneously distancing India from Russia Modi has tried hard to please Trump, which so far has not prevented Trump from going all out with his moves to close the US as economic bolthole for the Indian middle class — H1B/H-4 visas and chain migration, put imposts on imported Indian steel and aluminium, and then mustered the cheek to demand that India sign the remaining two "foundational accords" — CISMOA and BECA, with the former permitting the US formally to penetrate the Indian government and military's communications net.' And why can't India go back to using friendship and intimacy with Russia to lever a more equitable relationship with America?
It is that the United States is an unreliable partner and that, for very good reasons, India would be well advised to maintain a certain distance with the US and not sign any meaningful accords with it. '

It's time for India, France and Australia to join forces. This innovative security triangle is no flight of think tank fancy, but an ambition now being considered at the highest levels of policy. It was the key message of a far-reaching speech delivered last week by French President Emmanuel Macron at a naval base in Sydney.
