Chinese leader Xi Jinping told India’s Narendra Modi the “right choice” is for their countries to be friends as the two met in China for first time in seven years – a new milestone in a nascent rapprochement between the world’s most populous nations accelerated by shared frictions with the United States.
Working with India as a counterweight to China has been American foreign policy for a long time. China and India have been fighting a low-grade border war for decades, so it would seem to be an easy thing to work with India to oppose Chinese desires to form an Asian hegemony.
But Trump has blown that up. His excuse du jour, that India is buying Russian oil, is bullshit. Other countries import oil from Russia and they're not targeted for punitive tariffs.
The reason that the Orange Dementia Case is blowing up relations with India is personal. He wants a Nobel Peace Prize more than almost anything. So he's going around, spinning fantastic tales about all the wars he's stopped and prevented. He's claimed to have prevented a war between Pakistan and India, which the Indian government says is not true. Trump told Modi directly that he (Fat Orange Blob) had brokered the ceasefire and Modi told him that wasn't true. Modi said publicly that he wouldn't back Corporal Bonespurs for a Nobel and things went downhill from there.
So a friend of this country is being turned into an advesary, all because the World's Oldest Syphilitic Toddler suffered a case of butthurt.
Everything he touches turns to shit.

But hey, the DPRK are getting their SRBM's dialed in Ukraine and their troops combat experience. So what's driving New Delhi to Beijing among friends?
