    There’s a growing sense that Donald “TACO” Trump’s threats are hollow.

    Also, more and more people are realizing that there’s no appeasing a dictator - especially a feckless one like this one. If you cave in, you’ll get on the orange utan’s wrong side eventually anyway and it will all have been for nothing. So why even bother…

    And finally, let’s not forget that Trump’s tariff are illegal. when (if?) America gets its collective brain unscrambled and rein him in, and annul the illegal tariffs, India will have lost nothing if they just waited.

      Oh, that sense was already fully grown, and for reasons much more severe than this.

      Continuing to trade with a country that is invading other countries is, ultimately, standard behavior in international politics; there’s very few countries that aren’t in a glass house in this regard.

    There’s a growing sense in India that Russia invading it’s neighbors is far enough away for them to ignore it completely.
