Interesting tidbit.
Not sure what to think about it. In a way, I like that US is thinking to force them to pick a side. On the other hand, think its okay for countries to be neutral if it's really not in their strategic national interest.
But it's not as if the US-West have been buddies with India militarily, Russia supplies more arms and supported them vs Pakistan. However, on the other hand, the US has a much bigger economic benefit to India. India is in a tough spot.
U.S. recalls cable saying India and UAE are €œin Russia€™s camp€
Quote:
The State Department has recalled a cable to U.S. diplomats that instructed them to inform counterparts from India and the United Arab Emirates their position of neutrality on Ukraine put them "in Russia's camp," Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The recall of the strongly worded cable indicates either a process error with a fabled and vital work product — or a policy dispute inside the U.S. government involving two key allies.
