India's trajectory is not only slow, it's low. Not many care about South Africa, to most it's a lost cause.
Blinken was accurate but to fully forthright.

I wouldn't say that India's trajectory is low if you look at their weapons source from like a few decades ago to now.

Commenting and laughing at you isn’t offended.

Send an ambassador to India first. US has been dillydallying on US ambassador to India for years now . What message does that send to India.

Considering that India supports Russia's imperialist invasion and is complicit in the mass murder of civilians, does the U.S. even want to get closer to India!?
blackmirrorlight t1_j9sqckg wrote
He's definitely making a joke. South Africa is steadily getting closer to Russia.
WinterWindWhip t1_j9sr5f7 wrote
Right because engagement with Russia and China worked out so well.
We want to be friends with India because they make our stuff for cheap.

Geez, who would I believe more on a geopolitical topic: a random Redditor or the US Secretarian of State
zipzoupzwoop t1_j9suy01 wrote
How about not just believing one of these two and asking the person to clarify and give sources or reasoning? Nah, et's just believe blinken because it's better than a random redditor. That's why I also take trump's word over random redditors, he was a president once after all.

Nice whatabouttism at the end. Blinken has access to networks, classified data, personal contacts, he is on the frontline in these regards. Random Redditor only reads random headlines. Good try though.
daniel77015 t1_j9svexb wrote
Let me know the last time you had personal talks with your politicians, saw classified data and went to briefings about international relationships in your country.

Is India willing to accept a US Ambassador? I have no idea how any of that works but I'd be surprised if a country could just call up another, state there is an Ambassador coming, and expect the receiving country to just have a place ready for them. Is there already a vacant US Embassy there?

Well, India can't really align with China since they're in an active territorial dispute, and america supports their biggest enemy which is also a nuclear power, so it's hard to see who could they align with.
I'm pretty sure most Indians remember that America knew about the Bangladeshi genocide and decided to fully back Pakistan either way.

There is an embassy, but there hasn't been an ambassador since 2021.

Maybe India is just taking the scenic route...
...which includes scenes of genocide; not a good look India.
I say this as an America; we know thing or two about genocide.

Slow as in moving towards Russia.

Ahh, I see. I didn't know if the property gets absorbed into the home country when the embassy isn't occupied.
apexHeiliger t1_j9t5n0p wrote
It's a bit more complex than that. The populace at large does not support russia and some are apathetic. The ruling party is historically a communist party but have moved away from many of those policies to maintain popular vote. Currently, South Africa is going through a power struggle literally(ESKOM) and politically (state capture).
idoeno t1_j9t5t94 wrote
it is occupied; there is a full staff and a foreign service member with the title "Chargée d'affaires" as the acting ambassador, but as such they can represent the US, but not the POTUS, as an ambassador does.
Denubious t1_j9tdjcp wrote
Why should India and South Africa move towards the US? Should it be on principle? Economic benefits?

I think you’ll find the US is increasingly moving away its support from Pakistan to India.

You do realize BRICS has China and India in the same grp right? That should tell you how 'close' the bond is.

Full_Entrepreneur_72 t1_j9tjpsq wrote
Yeah but the media (within and without) has managed to make the most pro-west generation neutral at best and jingoistic at worst. Given how slow the negative perception towards a nation's changes in India, I don't expect much

Your shitty politicians are lobbying different candidates which is creating this mess. Ask them to get on same page and send a candidate immediately, see how fast India aligns with NATO then.

I think Indians understand the there are no permanent Allie’s only permanent interests too well. Unlike Pakistan, India excepts to be treated as an equal ally, they know how to negotiate and bargain well
JKKIDD231 t1_j9trsy8 wrote
I think what he’s trying to say is that India and South Africa won’t shift their policy overnight, especially India what’s been closer to Russia for 75yrs whereas relations only began in 2008 with Nuclear deal between USA and India and only growing stronger and bigger each year.

Americans definitely suffered when the Europeans came over and stole their land, of course we didn't call them "Americans" at the time.
There is a long and shitty history in how the US treated the native peoples, like most places conquered during the era European colonialism.

This is total BS, South Africa has been aligning for years with Russia and China.
This is basically hopium, the US threw SA under the bus in the 90's, what do you expect?Its a top strategic point on the globe...it's a pity it's lost.
misyo t1_j9ul8i0 wrote
I'm not sure where you're going with this.
misyo t1_j9ulxr8 wrote
Brazil isn't as invested in BRICS as China is. China and Russia hope to use BRICS to create a second IMF and a new world reserve currency. China can't let Russia be defeated because its governme t would collapse, which would bring about substantial and unpredictable changes in Russia- which China really doesn't want. China needs the war over quickly and sanctions removed to get Russia back on track. The longer the war drags on, the more problematic this becomes for China.
