The TV channel 'India Today' aired a cartoon featuring Putin and Indian Prime Minister Modi. In the video, Putin and Modi ride motorcycles past an oil drilling platform while singing an Indian friendship song. Trump also appears next to a gas pump, where he is mocked by Putin and Modi.
[Witty] Comment: The grand performance of Putin's visit to India, the Indian media has played it "cunning" and "clever"! 'India Today' uses a cartoon to combine the scene of Putin and Modi riding motorcycles and singing about friendship with the image of Trump being mocked at the gas pump. This contrast is extremely sharp — on one side, the deep brotherhood between Russia and India; on the other side, the former US president being left out as a joke. If Trump sees this, he would be furious, as he always likes to steal the spotlight and boasts himself as a "diplomatic expert". Now he has been overshadowed by Russia and India "showing affection", and even subtly mocked. Behind this, it's India playing a balancing act between major powers, and expressing dissatisfaction with Trump. It remains to be seen where the US-India relationship will tilt after this performance?
