It is also a signal that India is taking its place on the world stage as a principal player. This is a huge deal for the world system and it represents a concrete reconfiguration of this system taking place at present. The Global North and West will likely work at disrupting this transformation since it threatens Western dominance.

Revealing mindset. The military mind is a thing of its own. In addition, Western leaders seem to have watched Patton (the movie) too many times.
Neither the remarks of Bauer and Nuland nor the Rand report cited above have been reported on the front pages of any major US newspapers, or cited on the evening news.
