US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti says, 'I know that India and I respect that India likes its strategic autonomy, but in times of conflict, there is no such thing as strategic autonomy. We will in crisis moments need to know each other. I don't care what title we put to it, but we will need to know that we are trusted friends, brothers and sisters, and colleagues in times of need.'

Wrong. India sees it's future with a number of countries, not just the US.

All the countries that India has a future with - Are with the US, not Russia nor China

This land knows : वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्, this land preaches लोकः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु and these dharmic values we hold are from time immemorial and that what makes us bharatiya so understanding these values will help us cement our friendship bond for ever .

Where Russia has been the most helpful to India is - Their vote in the UN. Take a look at Reality - Whenever there is an Indo-China issue, Russia has NEVER taken India’s side. It is the USA that has stopped China from encroaching Arunachal Pradesh. Indians have this blind love for the Rooskies. Moreover, the values we espouse are in direct contrast with Putin. Putin, is probably the Worst (and one of the most Destructive) Person on Earth. We can’t side with Democracy based countries while also supporting Authoritarian regimes. We need to step up and support Countries that are like minded as ours

Nonsense. India's _relationship_ with Russia is far older, far more strategic, fair more intrinsic than purveyors of modern international political expediency will have you believe. Russia has been India's friend through thick-and-thin. India owes Russia the same. Putin may lead Russia, but Putin is not Russia. India must stand-by Russia as it goes through its crisis.

OK then, lets work with autonomy and strategy separately. We will remain autonomous and will work strategically to promote India's interests, not western interests. Will that work Mr Ambassador?

True, there is no such thing as strategic autonomy. When India says they want to have a "strategic autonomy" what they are implying is "we are going on a rogue mission with Russia". That's how it spells out.

Dont forget around 30 million Russian have died during world war 2 and Russia was an ally of USA , its only when it dropped atomic power on Japan USA felt it should go around the world dictating its views and that’s what’s been happening for the past post world war 2 time , USA want to split russia into many smaller region so that it remains a sole hegemon in the world so that it can have a freehand on imposing its agenda to whole world
