Trump: India has been shot down five fighter jets!
Modi: That's not true, don't spread rumors!
Trump: I have facts and evidence,
Modi: Don't listen to what Pakistanis say.
Trump: Your defense and foreign minister admitted it,
Modi: All nonsense!
What Modi did next was to send a large number of propaganda teams to hold a five-hour propaganda and brainwashing session for Trump, telling him not to believe in rumors and to trust the words of the Indian propaganda team. But whether Trump would show respect or not is another matter. As for Trump's words, India was certainly not happy about it, but what could they do?
India indeed suffered a blow, which made the US look down on India even more. If India can't even beat a small Pakistan, what else can it do? In fact, the US's idea of supporting Pakistan is similar to our idea of supporting Pakistan, both wanting to use Pakistan to counterbalance India's rise.
Don't think that because the US and India are close, the US will help India rise. That is absolutely impossible. The rise of China alone has made the US headachy beyond control. If another India rises, the US would be completely at a loss. Therefore, the US must support Pakistan to contain and limit India. This is the usual tactic of the US to undermine big powers.
The US supports India to counter us China, but also supports Pakistan to balance India. This is a constant balancing act, mutual checks and balances. However, India has repeatedly proven that it is not worth supporting, which is the most headache-inducing thing for the US. Therefore, appropriately stimulating India is beneficial for India to reflect and learn from its pain.
But reality is always ruthless. Trump directly said that this outcome would definitely make India unhappy, but what can being unhappy do? The reality is that India lost, and lost very badly. It can only accept the reality.
