China is no more authoritarian than it was, during the Chairman Mao days or during Deng Xiaoping or Xi Jinping.
In fact they are much closer to the kinds of countries, rulers, dictatorships and establishments America normally aligns itself with.
The only problem that Americans have with China is that, Right now they are within hitting distance of dethroning America from its number 1 spot. America is acting like a TINPOT DICTATOR of the world that is butt hurt by the success of new kid on the block that is China.
They wanted to separate China from the Soviet union because the combined force of those two would be a bit too much to handle for America.
They didn't want to be close to China because they like China or have respect for Chinese. They came close to China because they hate the Soviet Union (Russia) more.
It's not because they "thought" China will become some kind of democracy because of capitalism.
Same reason, China was brought in the WTO as a way to lure them away from Russia. The same way, in the earlier days they courted Putin too, because they were beginning to be weary of Chinese ambitions.
Converting China into a democracy is a silly story they tell the kids in "Georgetown and Columbia University" to Propagandise them (and call it education).
America is in the business of hating others and loving itself. (No wonder Self Loving Donald Trump is the president of the United States)
Making China a democracy, was neither the goal, nor was it ever going to happen and every one knew it.
Neither did the Chinese ever had any willingness to become a democracy of any sorts.
What America hates is that, China has committed the blasphemy of developing fast, and becoming the second largest economy in the world and that it became a natural contender to America and a direct threat to it's superpower status, that's the only mistake of China.
In World War 2, Europe destroyed itself because of a direct clash between the European Empires and the rest of the world was living under the boots of colonialism while being robbed of their honour and wealth by their colonial masters and were subjugated completely, they also faced the effects of the war.
America was the last man standing after world war 2 mainly because of their geography.
America ran from the third base to fourth base and called themselves a winner of the WORLD SERIES.
Since Deng Xiaoping, China has run from first base and now they have nearly caught up with America.
The name of the game is Capitalism, who knew China was going to be so good at it.
There is a side of America that every one sees but we continue to ignore, is this obsession with being number 1 (whatever that means).
Have you ever asked what happens if someday, because of some situations they are not number 1? What happens if they are not number 1?
They will burn the world to the ground if they are not number 1. America is just that Jingoistic.
If you look at them since 2016 they are getting crazier and crazier.

In the west Capitalism is considered Good in India it's considered Evil, In India Socialism, Marxism and Communism are considered IDEAL.
Just read Arvind Kejriwal's "Motorcycle Diaries" before making outlandish pronouncements.
Tell about Deepseek, ChatGPT, TikTok and AI to Mamta Banerjee, DMK, CPI, RJD, SP and AAP.
In India there are no right wing political parties there are just 50 shades of Left wing Political parties, including the BJP.
In India even the so-called Right wing political party is Left wing, In America even the Left wing political party (Democrats) is Right wing in China the political economic system is Authoritarian State Capitalism.
The name of the game is Capitalism who knew China is going to be so good at it.
And
All what the, Americans talk about is Foreign policy who knew their Foreign policy in China would turn out to be their biggest blunder. They moved their entire manufacturing base from the US to China to separate the Soviet union from China. China learnt from American Manufacturing and now it's the manufacturing hub of the world now. Their dumb European friends followed their master and made the same mistakes, because when the master cowers the servants follows.
The name of the game is hegemony (i.e. Capitalism Foreign policy) who knew China is going to be so good at it.

The Vietnam war was a disaster and The Iraq war was a disaster the idea that if you are with America, then you are on the right side of history is completely obnoxious.
This thing that either you are with us or you are against us comes right out of a Jihadi playbook, it almost comes across as a Jihadi sentiment. Any jihadi would be proud of this sentiment by Americans.
On the other side, the idea that if you just hold your nose and suck up to America the way Britain does, that does not work out well for you as well.
If you look at the Iraq war, and the way Britian and Tony Blair behaved as if it is a Global lieutenant of America, was criminally shameful.
It might have worked out for Tony Blair financially, but in the long term, it didn't work out well for Britian.
The job of the British army is to protect the borders of Britain instead they are guarding Oil fields in Iraq for American intrests.
That's what happens if you blindly follow the American Empire, it starts a war in a region and then expects full subservience from you. Then they, gives you a lollipop of ideas like freedom and democracy to suck upon, while you are actually serving, the American intrests. That is what they do. That's just what they do.
The World has everything for everyone' needs but not enough for America' greed.

They didn't want to be close to China because they like China or have respect for Chinese. They came close to them because they hate the Soviet Union (Russia) more.
It's not because they "thought" China will become some kind of democracy because of capitalism in China. China was brought in the WTO as a way to lure them away from Russia. The same way they courted Putin too because they were beginning to be weary of Chinese ambitions at the same time.

They will burn the world to the ground if they are not number 1. Americans are just that Jingoistic.
America is the only country that has used nuclear weapons and nalpalm chemical weapons (and who knows might be even biological weapons). They used nukes on Japan which is racially, religiously and linguistically a different country to America. (As an act of Revenge-"not to end the war" as they have advertised) They would have never used nukes on Italy and Germany. (America is a Right wing, Nationalistic, Capitalistic, Christian, Conservative country, Predominantly ethnically White just like Italy and Germany)
Not to mention, there is only one country that came into being by a Genocide of the natives and then dropped two nukes to become the super power in the world. (Which they made with the help of Nazi and Commie scientists)
If you look at them since 2016 they are getting crazier and crazier.

India and America are both democracies but these are Two like Charges of a magnet that repel each other.
AND India should never be like Tony Blair for the United States. If India and America go their separate ways India would be fine and the US will also be just fine.
May a thousand flowers bloom in America but India should never allow itself to be the global lieutenant of America.

Take aways from the British Elections
1) Jeremy Corbyn 2019: 10,295,912 = 213 Seats
2) Kier starmer 2024: 9,698,409 = 411 Seats
3) Rishi Sunak 2024: 6,824,809= 121 Seats
4) Nigel Farage 2024: 4,114,287= 5 Seats
5) Ed Davey 2024: 3,501,040= 72 Seats
6) John Swinney 2024: 708,759= (48) Seats
Things to know about Kier starmer
1) London or Davos?
Kier starmer: Davos
2) Kier starmer is a Tony Blair candidate.
3) This is as much as a loss for the British conservatives than a win for Labour, The main story should be that thier is an 8 percent drop in voter turnout in UK.
4) Rishi Sunak was stupid enough to take that job in the very first place, and tried to handle the mess created by David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Theresa May.
He took the poison pill and now is facing political death. But, he'll end up in a think tank in New York or Washington or on the board of WEF in Davos. That's just a reality. Sunak and Kier starmer are not very different in that regard.
Every one in Britain wants Brexit but no one knows how to get Brexit done.

America and India are both democracies but these are two like charges that repel each other.
Pakistan is a lot more similar to USA than One would think.
Both Pakistan and USA are run by a Deep State.
The Pakistani Deep State is of Mullahs, Chaudhari Zamindars, Army and ISI.
And
America has Deep state that consists of military industrial complex and wall Street.(Micimatt)
America has a deep state just like Pakistan has a deep state, may be that's why the two get along so well. America can tell them what to do and they'll just do it.
There is a 75 year data on Pakistan, Go look back at that history you will notice the same pattern again and again.
Both Pakistan and USA are deeply religious countries.
In America, you would need the Evangelist vote to win an election. All the Pakistani politicians lean into thier religion to get elected.
You can say that India and Israel are religious countries too, but both India and Israel are more culturally religious and more non denomination in nature. Most Hindus are just *"Hindus who celebrate diwali"*.
Indians and Chinese indigenous religious groups that are entwined with cultural and civilizational history of each country. Which is where India and China have a lot more in common with each other.
And
Most Jews are just Hanukkah celebrating Jews and nothing more.
Where as a lot of Americans behave like Bible thumping Christians and most Pakistanis behave like are Quran thumping Islamist.
Obviously, In the Rest of the world no one takes each of them seriously, on thier claim of the religion.
Saudis and Arabs mock the Pakistanis for thier claim on Islam.
And
The early Christian nations in Europe don't take America's claim on Christianity seriously.
Europeans don't take America' claim on being a guardian of "Western Civilizations" seriously or American claims of being "Irish" or "Italian" seriously as is it is with Americans claim on Christianity. America also rejects the civilizational history of the Native Americans.
Both America and Pakistan have directly or indirectly funded terrorists and terrorists groups as well as both US and Pakistan have engaged in genocide of the natives.
And Guess what! Both America and Pakistan have topped the list of the biggest threat to Global peace.
Just look at the situation now.
Money is fungible until Americans pay Pakistan or Saudis or Qataris or Mujahideens.
So, Even though there are lot of great things about America and there is not much great about Pakistan, (on the power structure of the Deep state) US and Pakistan are a lot similar.
Some Indians have this weird colonial hangover to be liked by The West and The West have constantly chosen Pakistan over India.
1) Did they like India when (Mahatma) Gandhi was around? No.
(They called him half naked fakir)
2) Did they like India when Nehru was around? No.
(They chose Gen Ayub Khan on one side and Chairman Mao on the other side)
3) Did they like India when Indira Gandhi was around? No.
(We have heard the Richard Nixon tapes)
4) Did they like India when Manmohan Singh was around? No.
(They had a huge problem with India buying oil from Iran, they were upset with india in the UN for position on Syria and for non intervention position in Libya, The civil nuclear deal with US has gone nowhere)
5) Do they like India when Modi is around? No.
If Pakistan is such a great democracy why does every Pakistan prime minister and Pakistani elites end up New york, London or Dubai and gets replaced by Army chiefs (Dictators).
I actually welcome US and Pakistan relationship and don't mind it at all. Infact I'll push America into the arms of Pakistan.
Pakistan is poison that will eventually kill America. (So, goodluck with that)
And
To be an enemy of America is dangerous but to be a friend is absolutely lethal.
Take Britain as an example which has chosen to have Relationships with both Pakistan and USA:-
Take a look at Britian and how the Pakistanis have completely subjugated Britain.
Then let's have a Look at Britian' special relationship with US, where they basically dragged Britain into the Iraq war and expected full loyalty from Britain and Tony Blair.
Now, Britain and Tony Blair have completely lost it's face on the international stage while Americans have rehabilitated George Bush as an Michelle Obama's dumb slow friend.
India' relationship with Russia is a challenging for the west. It's not challenging for India at all.
If India is asked to choose between US and Russia, that's a pretty easy choice to make, we will choose Russia everytime.
We like America from a distance and have no problems with it, but we love Russia. Even a child in India knows that Russians have been our friends. There is nothing US can do to break India Russia friendship.
You don't drop old friends like Russian just because you have new partners. India and US are partners but not allies and we like it this way. That's not an Anti-American point it's a pro India point.
Nothing good ever comes from joining the American Empire, they will just drag you in an unnecessary war and expect fealty from you, like they did it with Britian and Tony Blair in the Iraq War.
America has been a country for 248 years, it has been in war with the world for 235 years. America has had wars with...
1) With people don't look like Americans
2) With people don't follow the American economic system
3) With people who don't have the same political system
4) With people who don't have the American approved leaders
5) With people who don't follow speak the American Language, follow the American Religion, are not of the American "approved" Race.
6) With countries who have the Wrong Foreign policy according to the Americans.
World has everything for everyone' needs but doesn't have enough for America' greed.
When you have 35 security agencies, that' not a sign of secure country but a sign of an insecure country.
At the heart of America' insecurities about Russia, is actually the thought, that the Americans didn't win the world war (on thier own as sometimes they'd like to portray), or atleast they couldn't do it without Russia' help, actually the Soviets have a much bigger contribution in ending the Nazi regime than the Americans, Maybe that's why Americans feel the need to equate everything to world war 2 and draw some kind of a parallel storyline, where their enemies are Hitler and they are Captain America in the movie, they are trying to convince themselves that they had won the war but in thier minds they know it is the Russians who sacrificed a lot more and thier contribution is much more greater.
And Yes! Americans were on the winning side but thier main contribution was mainly of weapons supply, which is what they do best, they are the largest supplier of weapons in the world.(Lend lease agreement is thier main contribution).
America is a country that has not faced a war on it's shores till Japan attacked pearl harbour, and they have a pretty skewed view of what a land war to protect it's borders looks like.
Instead, America fights pre emptive wars, you can say that the war they have against Donald Trump is actually a pre emptive war.
They see him as Hitler and are fighting a pre emptive war against him.
Even the ardent American leftist will tell you that basically the Donald Trump ruled a bit like the Romney Ryan model.
Jan 6 was unique event, but the country that argues that second amendment is for protection against government tyranny, it's unusual that somehow the Jan 6 protestors never brought thier Guns to that fight!
In the end it was just bad behaviour by Trump supporters.
There are defensive wars and there are offensive wars. Like the Iraq war and the Vietnam wars are just preemptive defensive wars and "Afghanistan War", "War on Terror" was a offensive war.
In the end these are nothing but "Area of Influence wars", against countries that the Americans perceive to be in the area of influence of Russia. Those countries are often attacked directly or indirectly by The US or they are coerced into following the American Dictats by sanctions or Global financial system of IMF or World Bank.
The Americans have no war against Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Pakistan which are in the area of influence of America.
If and when there is a clash of civilizations like in WW2, My guess is that America will do just enough at the right time to come to the right side of history, and then claim they were right all along.
They might even claim to be the only one to be responsible for the victory in this clash of civilizations.
In the end, Americans are always there to take credit of something they never intended to do.
Everyone else' "Nationalism" is Jingoism but "America' Nationalism" is just "American Exceptionalism".
May a thousand flowers bloom in America, I just don't want them in India.
May they get thier free health care from Britain, free education like France, Trains from Germany, Socialism from Scandinavia With Bernie Sanders or AOC as thier President. I still don't want them in India.
If India and US go thier own separate ways my guess is each will be just fine on it's own.
As far as US India Relationship is concerned. I'd leave that to US.
If America wants to have a relationship with India,
What kind of relationship they want with India,
And
If they don't want to have any relations with India.
From my side I'm pretty comfortable with not having any relations with United States, infact if it's left to me I'll even send the US ambassador in India back to America.
India is not going to be the Global Lieutenant of United States like Tony Blair.

America is a called a "Nation of immigrants" because they cannot claim themselves to be the "Native' of that Land".
Nation of immigrants is mainly a marketing ploy to sell thier story. United States is mainly a country that came into being with a Genocide of the native Americans and then dropped two nukes to become a superpower.
Because of two world wars, European Imperialism and colonization (thanks to western civilization), "The Rest" of the world was robbed of it's wealth, and America was left as the last man standing.
Since then US has ran from third base to fourth base and called themselves a winner of the world series.
Sometimes there is also an attempt by the Left (and Right) to sell America not a country but an idea, that's also false marketing.
America is largely a White, Right wing, Nationalistic, Capitalistic, Christian Conservative country that has two Right wing political party governed by a Deep State much like Pakistan.
Pakistan is a lot more similar to USA than One would think.
Both Pakistan and USA are run by a Deep State.
The Pakistani Deep State is of Mullahs, Chaudhari Zamindars, Army and ISI.
And

Both Pakistan and USA are deeply religious countries.
In America, you would need the Evangelist vote to win an election. All the Pakistani politicians lean into thier religion to get elected. (Imran Khan and Trump are both gaffe machines and also a bit similar)
You can say that India and Israel are religious countries too, but both India and Israel are more culturally religious and more non denomination in nature. Most Hindus are just *"Hindus who celebrate diwali"*.
Indians and Chinese indigenous religious groups that are entwined with cultural and civilizational history of each country. Which is where India and China have a lot more in common with each other.

Both America and Pakistan have directly or indirectly funded terrorists and terrorists groups as well as both US and Pakistan have engaged in genocide of the natives.
The civilizational history that Americans claim is in another continent and they tend to reject the civilizational history of Native Americans.
The civilizational History that Pakistan claim is in the middle east and they tend to reject the civilizational history of Native Indians.
And Guess what! Both America and Pakistan have topped the list of the biggest threat to Global peace.
Just look at the situation now.
Money is fungible until Americans pay Pakistan or Saudis or Qataris or Mujahideens, that is thier hypocritical stance. Mujahideen were supposedly freedom fighters until they attacked the Americans on 9/11 and suddenly they got classified as Terrorists.
So, Even though the Americans will be extremely difficult to subjugate by the Deep state in America than in Pakistan, On the power structure of the Deep state US and Pakistan are a lot similar.
On the other hand,
Indians have this constant colonial hangover to be liked by The West and The West have constantly chosen Pakistan over India.
Did they like you when (Mahatma) Gandhi was around? No.
Did they like you when Nehru was around? No.
(They chose Gen Ayub Khan on one side and Chairman Mao on the other side)
Did they like you when Indira Gandhi was around? No.
Did they like you when Manmohan Singh was around? No.
(They had a huge problem with you buying oil from Iran, they were upset with you in the UN for your position on Syria and for non intervention position in Libya)
Do they like you when Modi is around? No.
In the case of US,
The world has extremely lenient standards for US,
They dropped two nukes on Japan, the world forgives it,
They dropped chemical bombs on Korea, the world forgives it,
They dropped Cluster bombs in Vietnam and the world forgives it,
They Carpet bombs Baghdad, the world forgives it.
They blow up Nord stream pipeline, the world forgives them.
Russia wouldn't be able get away with any of it?
This is just soft bigotry of low expectations.
I remember the time when the Americans used to say about the Soviet union "How can you support a country that spies on it's own people?".
Cut to 2010 Edward Snowden leaks, America is running the biggest surveillance state in human history.
Spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel,
Spying on Dilma Rouseff,
And
Spying on it's own Citizens.
America is the only country that I don't mind having no relationship with.
I don't mind building relationships with China, Russia, Brazil, Africa and South America or even UK, Germany, France, Israel and Japan along with rest of Europe and Asia.
And It's not even an Anti American thing, "May a thousand flowers bloom in America" and India may do well in our own "separate ways".(India and USA are both democracies but these are also two like charges that repel each other).
As far as US India Relationships go, that's pretty much a hard NO for me.
And I have been saying these things since the Iraq war.
(They'll drag you into a war and expect full loyalty from you. Just look at Tony Blair and Iraq war. Same situation is in Ukraine.)
India might not get along with China but We are not fan of US either.
If the relentless bullying and pressure from US continues, then We must just help China and/or align with China which might just replace US as a global hegemon.
The same way US helped China against the Soviet union. We might not be number 1 but when 0 aligns with any number the value of that number increases ten folds.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees and serve America.
America is a Democracy. But America is a Democracy In Name Only. As the old adage goes In China the policies change but the Government doesn't change, But in US, Governments change but the policies don't change.
Just as an example, America has had the same policies Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is very little difference between
1) George Bush sr and Bill Clinton
2) George Bush jr and Barack Obama
3) Donald Trump and Joe Biden

3) Did they like India when Indira Gandhi was around? No.
(We have heard the Richard Nixon tapes and Reagan preffered to work with Zia ul haq)
4) Did they like India when Manmohan Singh was around? No.
(The civil nuclear deal with US has gone nowhere, Manmohan Singh and Hardeep Singh Puri were against Syria and the Libya war)
5) Do they like India when Modi is around? No.
Pakistan is a lot more similar to USA than One would think.
Both Pakistan and USA are run by a Deep State.
The Pakistani Deep State is of Mullahs, Chaudhari Zamindars, Army and ISI.
And
America has Deep state that consists of military industrial complex and wall Street.(Micimatt)
America has a deep state just like Pakistan has a deep state, may be that's why the two get along so well. America can tell them what to do and they'll just do it.
There is a 75 year data on Pakistan, Go look back at that history you will notice the same pattern again and again.
Both Pakistan and USA are deeply religious countries and founded by Religious fundamentalist.
In America, you would need the Evangelist vote to win an election. All the Pakistani politicians lean into thier religion to get elected. (Imran Khan and Trump are both gaffe machines and also a bit similar)
You can say that India and Israel are religious countries too, but both India and Israel are more culturally religious and more non denomination in nature. Most Hindus are just *"Hindus who celebrate diwali"*.
Indians and Chinese indigenous religious groups that are entwined with cultural and civilizational history of each country. Which is where India and China have a lot more in common with each other.
And
Most Jews are just Hanukkah celebrating Jews and nothing more.
Where as a lot of Americans behave like Bible thumping Christians and most Pakistanis behave like are Quran thumping Islamist.
Just like Americans who hold on to thier Bible, thier guns and their hatred towards the natives.
Similar to it Pakistan holds on to thier Quran, thier nukes and their hatred for the hindus.
Obviously, In the Rest of the world no one takes each of them seriously, on thier claim of the religion.
Saudis and Arabs mock the Pakistanis for thier claim on Islam.
And
The early Christian nations in Europe don't take America's claim on Christianity seriously.
Europeans don't take America' claim on being a guardian of "Western Civilizations" seriously or American claims of being "Irish" or "Italian" seriously as is it is with Americans claim on Christianity.
Both America and Pakistan have directly or indirectly funded terrorists and terrorists groups as well as both US and Pakistan have engaged in genocide of the natives.
And Guess what! Both America and Pakistan have topped the list of the biggest threat to Global peace.
Just look at the situation now.
Money is fungible until Americans pay Pakistan or Saudis or Qataris or Mujahideens.
So, Even though there are lot of great things about America and there is not much great about Pakistan, (on the power structure of the Deep state) US and Pakistan are a lot similar.
India and America are both democracies but these are like Charges that repel each other.
AND India should never be like Tony Blair for the United States. If India and America go their separate ways India would be fine and the US will also be just fine.

Donald Trump is the most American president ever. He is also the most American looking man ever. Donald Trump is the most American person even, He's a showman, He's Smart, He's funny, He's charming, He's disloyal, He's Vulgar, He can be a bit Crass, He's Selfish, He's narcissistic, He's street smart, he can be blunt, He knows things broadly, he's doesn't know anything specifically, he has vague knowledge of anything, he has a high self image of himself, he likes to brag about himself and his money (very much an American quality), he's unapologetic, he's a bundle of contradiction, and He's amazingly fit for a guy who eats horrible food.
DONALD TRUMP IS AMERICA.
Donald Trump is shameless just like America is known to be shameless on the international stage. He's right on few things and he's wrong on few things. Like most American's he has an image of being dumb and stupid.
In a weird sort of way he's, He's a symptom of where America is and a microcosm of where America is.
People who like him, like him for who he is, people who dislike him, dislike for he is. People who hate him, hate him for who he is and what he represents, In a way they hate themselves and (hate the ugly parts of America and they see the ugly parts of America in him), and the Americans who love him, love him for who he is.
People try to argue policy difference between Democrat and Republican.
But, Post Cold war America' policies haven't changed much, George Bush sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush jr, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden have pretty much the same policies with some minor differences here and there.
Infact, Donald Trump ruled in pretty much like the Romney Ryan model. Obviously there is a difference in foreign policy, for which he gets push back from the establishment which thinks America should be the "Global Policeman of the world" and never allow itself to be the second biggest power in the world which is the Nixon model.(Widely accepted notion on both sides Democrat and Republican as well as on the Right and Left).
Because, America likes to be the Global Policeman of the World, they just don't like to admit it, that they like to be the Global Policeman of the world.
Even the ardent leftist will tell you Donald Trump pretty much ruled like the Romney Ryan model.

The world has extremely lienent standards for US,
They dropped two nukes on Japan, the world forgets it,
They dropped nalpam bombs on Korea, the world forgets it,
They dropped Cluster bombs in Vietnam and the world forgets it,
They Carpet bombed Baghdad, the world forgets it.
Russia wouldn't be able get away with any of it?
The American's got away with nuking Japan.
Then they got away with the Korean War, (Chemical weapons)
Then they got away with The Vietnam War(Cluster Bombs),
They got away with what they did in East Timor.
They got away with what they did in Guatemala.
They got away with what they did in Chile.
They were supporting The Taliban and Bin Laden against Soviets.
Thier most stable relationship is With Saudi Arabia.
Then they got away with the Iraq war (Carpet bombing),
Then they got away with Libyan War,
Then they got away with Syrian War.
Then they got away with Ukraine War and bombings Nord stream 2 pipeline.
And the more they got away with, The more unhinged and Shameless the Empire became.
Obviously, the Europeans have been feeding the American Ego.
The English Keep repeating the Churchillian phrase, that In the End America will do the right thing after it has exhausted all the other options.
That ofcourse is a lie.
But the lies have begun to catch up.
As Bertrand Russell said he US is the Lesser of two "Evils" between USSR and USA. USSR is gone. USA is Evil remaining.

Indians and Chinese indigenous religious groups that are entwined with cultural and civilizational history of each country. Which is where India and China have a lot more in common with each other.

America is a called a "Nation of immigrants" because they cannot claim themselves to be the "Native' of that Land".
Nation of immigrants is mainly a marketing ploy to sell thier story. United States is mainly a country that came into being with a Genocide of the native Americans and then dropped two nukes to become a superpower.
Because of two world wars, European Imperialism and colonization (thanks to western civilization), "The Rest" of the world was robbed of it's wealth, and America was left as the last man standing.
Since then US has ran from third base to fourth base and called themselves a winner of the world series.
Sometimes there is also an attempt by the Left (and Right) to sell America not a country but an idea, that's also false marketing.
America is largely a White, Right wing, Nationalistic, Capitalistic, Christian Conservative country that has two Right wing political party governed by a Deep State much like Pakistan.
Pakistan is a lot more similar to USA than One would think.
Both Pakistan and USA are run by a Deep State.

The civilizational history that Americans claim is in another continent and they tend to reject the civilizational history of Native Americans.

While Harry Styles was hanging around on the beaches of Dunkirk, Churchill was busy sinking French ships and Americans were busy Saving Private Ryan, The Commies of Russia actually won the World War.
Unlike the comic book version where, Captain America got the cube from the Red Skull then the plane crashed into the north pole and ended the war.
Even by comic book standards, that's a huge strech of the imagination and ironically comical.
"We will never surrender speeches" and "Lend lease Agreement" doesn't win world wars. After world war Russians male to female population was 1:3. That was the extent of the Russian sacrifice.
Right Wing American Experts will tell you.
Guns don't kill People, People kill people, and at the same time they'll tell you that Lend Lease Agreement won them world war.
I know it's not fashionable to say this in the west but the "Lend Lease Agreement" , and "We will never surrender" speeches don't win you "world wars".
Russians marching in Berlin, inspite of losing Twenty five thousand soldiers every day, actually wins you wars.
Russia won you the world war. After that Americans have been unable to win a war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea and Vietnam.
While the British and Americans were Saving Private Ryan and hanging out on the beaches of Dunkirk and sinking the ships of an Ally in France.
The Russians lost twenty five thousand soldiers per day and still marched right into Berlin.

China is no more authoritarian than it was, during the Chairman Mao days or during Deng Xiaoping or Xi Jinping.
In fact they are much closer to the kinds of countries, rulers, dictatorships and establishments America normally aligns itself with.
The only problem that Americans have with China is that, Right now they are within hitting distance of dethroning America from its number 1 spot. America is acting like a TINPOT DICTATOR of the world that is butt hurt by the success of new kid on the block that is China.
They wanted to separate China from the Soviet union because the combined force of those two would be a bit too much to handle for America.
They didn't want to be close to China because they like China or have respect for Chinese. They came close to China because they hate the Soviet Union (Russia) more.
It's not because they "thought" China will become some kind of democracy because of capitalism.
Same reason, China was brought in the WTO as a way to lure them away from Russia. The same way, in the earlier days they courted Putin too, because they were beginning to be weary of Chinese ambitions.
Converting China into a democracy is a silly story they tell the kids in "Georgetown and Columbia University" to Propagandise them (and call it education).
America is in the business of hating others and loving itself. (No wonder Self Loving Donald Trump is the president of the United States)
Making China a democracy, was neither the goal, nor was it ever going to happen and every one knew it.
Neither did the Chinese ever had any willingness to become a democracy of any sorts.
What America hates is that, China has committed the blasphemy of developing fast, and becoming the second largest economy in the world and that it became a natural contender to America and a direct threat to it's superpower status, that's the only mistake of China.
In World War 2, Europe destroyed itself because of a direct clash between the European Empires and the rest of the world was living under the boots of colonialism while being robbed of their honour and wealth by their colonial masters and were subjugated completely, they also faced the effects of the war.
America was the last man standing after world war 2 mainly because of their geography.
America ran from the third base to fourth base and called themselves a winner of the WORLD SERIES.
Since Deng Xiaoping, China has run from first base and now they have nearly caught up with America.
The name of the game is Capitalism, who knew China was going to be so good at it.
There is a side of America that every one sees but we continue to ignore, is this obsession with being number 1 (whatever that means).
Have you ever asked what happens if someday, because of some situations they are not number 1? What happens if they are not number 1?
They will burn the world to the ground if they are not number 1. America is just that Jingoistic.
If you look at them since 2016 they are getting crazier and crazier.
Shekhar Gupta just realised what the rest of the world already knows... that by 2030-32 China is going to be the largest economy in the world and therefore it's going to be the biggest game in town.
It might turn out to be the biggest foreign policy blunder by the united states.
At that time Shekhar Gupta and The print might have to apply for more USAID.

In the west Capitalism is considered Good in India it's considered Evil, In India Socialism, Marxism and Communism are considered IDEAL.
Just read Arvind Kejriwal's "Motorcycle Diaries" before making outlandish pronouncements.
Tell about Deepseek, ChatGPT, TikTok and AI to Mamta Banerjee, DMK, CPI, RJD, SP and AAP.
In India there are no right wing political parties there are just 50 shades of Left wing Political parties, including the BJP.
In India even the so-called Right wing political party is Left wing, In America even the Left wing political party (Democrats) is Right wing in China the political economic system is Authoritarian State Capitalism.
The name of the game is Capitalism who knew China is going to be so good at it.
And
All what the, Americans talk about is Foreign policy who knew their Foreign policy in China would turn out to be their biggest blunder. They moved their entire manufacturing base from the US to China to separate the Soviet union from China. China learnt from American Manufacturing and now it's the manufacturing hub of the world now. Their dumb European friends followed their master and made the same mistakes, because when the master cowers the servants follows.
The name of the game is hegemony (i.e. Capitalism Foreign policy) who knew China is going to be so good at it.

(They had a huge problem with India buying oil from Iran, they were upset with india in the UN for position on Syria and for non intervention position in Libya, The civil nuclear deal with US has gone nowhere)
5) Do they like India when Modi is around? No.
If Pakistan is such a great democracy why does every Pakistan prime minister and Pakistani elites end up New york, London or Dubai and gets replaced by Army chiefs (Dictators).
I actually welcome US and Pakistan relationship and don't mind it at all. Infact I'll push America into the arms of Pakistan.
Pakistan is poison that will eventually kill America. (So, goodluck with that)
And
To be an enemy of America is dangerous but to be a friend is absolutely lethal.
Take Britain as an example which has chosen to have Relationships with both Pakistan and USA:-
Take a look at Britian and how the Pakistanis have completely subjugated Britain.
Then let's have a Look at Britian' special relationship with US, where they basically dragged Britain into the Iraq war and expected full loyalty from Britain and Tony Blair.
Now, Britain and Tony Blair have completely lost it's face on the international stage while Americans have rehabilitated George Bush as an Michelle Obama's dumb slow friend.
India' relationship with Russia is a challenging for the west. It's not challenging for India at all.
If India is asked to choose between US and Russia, that's a pretty easy choice to make, we will choose Russia everytime.
We like America from a distance and have no problems with it, but we love Russia. Even a child in India knows that Russians have been our friends. There is nothing US can do to break India Russia friendship.
You don't drop old friends like Russian just because you have new partners. India and US are partners but not allies and we like it this way. That's not an Anti-American point it's a pro India point.
Nothing good ever comes from joining the American Empire, they will just drag you in an unnecessary war and expect fealty from you, like they did it with Britian and Tony Blair in the Iraq War.
America has been a country for 248 years, it has been in war with the world for 235 years. America has had wars with...
1) With people don't look like Americans
2) With people don't follow the American economic system
3) With people who don't have the same political system
4) With people who don't have the American approved leaders
5) With people who don't follow speak the American Language, follow the American Religion, are not of the American "approved" Race.
6) With countries who have the Wrong Foreign policy according to the Americans.
World has everything for everyone' needs but doesn't have enough for America' greed.
When you have 35 security agencies, that' not a sign of secure country but a sign of an insecure country.
At the heart of America' insecurities about Russia, is actually the thought, that the Americans didn't win the world war (on thier own as sometimes they'd like to portray), or atleast they couldn't do it without Russia' help, actually the Soviets have a much bigger contribution in ending the Nazi regime than the Americans, Maybe that's why Americans feel the need to equate everything to world war 2 and draw some kind of a parallel storyline, where their enemies are Hitler and they are Captain America in the movie, they are trying to convince themselves that they had won the war but in thier minds they know it is the Russians who sacrificed a lot more and thier contribution is much more greater.
And Yes! Americans were on the winning side but thier main contribution was mainly of weapons supply, which is what they do best, they are the largest supplier of weapons in the world.(Lend lease agreement is thier main contribution).
America is a country that has not faced a war on it's shores till Japan attacked pearl harbour, and they have a pretty skewed view of what a land war to protect it's borders looks like.
Instead, America fights pre emptive wars, you can say that the war they have against Donald Trump is actually a pre emptive war.
They see him as Hitler and are fighting a pre emptive war against him.
Even the ardent American leftist will tell you that basically the Donald Trump ruled a bit like the Romney Ryan model.
Jan 6 was unique event, but the country that argues that second amendment is for protection against government tyranny, it's unusual that somehow the Jan 6 protestors never brought thier Guns to that fight!
In the end it was just bad behaviour by Trump supporters.
There are defensive wars and there are offensive wars. Like the Iraq war and the Vietnam wars are just preemptive defensive wars and "Afghanistan War", "War on Terror" was a offensive war.
In the end these are nothing but "Area of Influence wars", against countries that the Americans perceive to be in the area of influence of Russia. Those countries are often attacked directly or indirectly by The US or they are coerced into following the American Dictats by sanctions or Global financial system of IMF or World Bank.
The Americans have no war against Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Pakistan which are in the area of influence of America.
If and when there is a clash of civilizations like in WW2, My guess is that America will do just enough at the right time to come to the right side of history, and then claim they were right all along.
They might even claim to be the only one to be responsible for the victory in this clash of civilizations.
In the end, Americans are always there to take credit of something they never intended to do.
Everyone else' "Nationalism" is Jingoism but "America' Nationalism" is just "American Exceptionalism".
May a thousand flowers bloom in America, I just don't want them in India.
May they get thier free health care from Britain, free education like France, Trains from Germany, Socialism from Scandinavia With Bernie Sanders or AOC as thier President. I still don't want them in India.
If India and US go thier own separate ways my guess is each will be just fine on it's own.
As far as US India Relationship is concerned. I'd leave that to US.
If America wants to have a relationship with India,
What kind of relationship they want with India,
And
If they don't want to have any relations with India.
From my side I'm pretty comfortable with not having any relations with United States, infact if it's left to me I'll even send the US ambassador in India back to America.
India is not going to be the Global Lieutenant of United States like Tony Blair.
