Did a former US President just hint at the possibility of India breaking up ? . Incredible that a country whose professed ideals are so far removed from its own domestic reality — a corrupt oligarchy called the US Congress, a military industrial complex out of whack, a mainstream.
Just sat down for an exclusive w/ President @BarackObama in Athens to discuss the future of democracy, at home & abroad. I asked how the US should engage with autocracies. Watch his response. Our interview and a conversation with 3 Obama Foundation leaders airs 10pET on @CNN.

The US has never left any doubt that the India partnership is primarily about India chipping in to safeguard the US security framework in Asia and beyond. The notion that India could have legitimate national geopolitical interests in a subregion of Asia is seen as a distraction.

India’s strategic predicament is the opposite of Israel. It is Pakistan who is squatting on Indian territory since the 1940s, aided and abetted by the West. India’s security policies towards Pakistan has been defensive and there has been no attempt to recover Indian territory let.
My take: India must learn from Israel's strategic failure. The policy of periodically attriting enemies, while ignoring politics - the "cult of operational superiority" - has collapsed. Indian policy towards nuclear-armed Pakistan also currently ignores politics, to its peril.
