While we are all focused on Ukraine, Biden’s do-nothing right foreign relations policies are causing damage elsewhere, including in India.
THE AUKUS DEAL APPEARS TO HAVE HURT US-INDIA RELATIONS
There are some indications that India is very angry over the AUKUS deal between Australia, the UK, and the US. It gives nuclear technology to Australia to build nuclear submarines, but India was left out even though they are part of the Quad – India, Australia, US, and the UK. India sees it as a preference for the Anglos.
AUKUS is a submarine, trilateral security alliance between the United States, UK, and Australia. It was formed to counter China in the Indo-Pacific.
India was left out of the pact last September between the US, UK, and Australia (AUKUS). It provided at least eight nuclear-powered submarines. The agreement gives Australia nuclear technology to build nuclear submarines that India has not been given.
India is sympathetic to the damage it caused France, a country that relied on the sub deal with Australia for its Navy. However, India also says it’s happy for Australia. While they are glad it strengthens the Indo-Pacific against China, they are not happy it intrudes on their dominance of the region.
India is concerned there will eventually be crowding of nuclear attack submarines in the Eastern Indian Ocean, eroding India’s regional pre-eminence.
No Help from the US
An Indian plan to develop a fleet of nuclear attack submarines has elicited no offer of help from the U.S. Yet, the US does not share its prized nuclear submarine technology with even its closest allies — all except Australia, evidently.
The agreement suggests preferential treatment on the part of Washington for a close Anglo-alliance partner.
While it has rarely received any submarine technology from the U.S., New Delhi has accepted American discretion on the matter. India has instead relied on Russia for nuclear submarine technology. Following the deepening of Quad ties, some in India were hopeful that the U.S. would consider providing the Indian Navy with nuclear submarine propulsion technology.
The deal with Australia is allegedly a one-time deal.

The USA, UK and Australia are not going to save the world from China. At this time, all 3 governments are leftist and colluding with China. I cannot imagine trusting Australia with anything.
The US employs millions of Indian tech workers in the USA and India. US engineers have difficulty getting jobs. We do so much for India. India is a US welfare recipient.
Not much that old wonk hasn’t screwed up. This is what America deserves for tolerating his type in the halls of power. Thanks, Delaware, your gift to the nation is its ruin.
@ GG,
How dare you speak ill of the Immaculate Chicago Jesus Messiah, the One.
Dat’s wayciss and heresy!
Shilly and Billy are grifters out to sell out America to the CCP and they have succeeded beyond all expectations.
The real commies have ZERO love for fellow travelers and there is no loyalty among useful idiots except in the Long March to burn down America by any means necessary.
The damager destroys all according to the script.
Traitor Joe has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue for over 40 years. Actually Traitor Joe has been on the wrong side of every issue all his life. The Traitor is a Moron! The only reason he is in office is because he’s compromised and his only choice is to be a Puppet. He was a Clinton puppet back in 2012 and is a Clinton puppet today. People would like you to believe 0bama is the puppet master, but 0bama isn’t that smart. Obama was also a Clinton puppet. Hillary runs things like a Mafia Don, refusal is not an option. There are a lot of questionable deaths in the Clinton’s past.
