Washington seems to be throwing India under the bus while cozying up to regional players who clearly don’t have Delhi’s best interests at heart. Let’s call it what it is: a blatant disregard for alliances in favor of shiny new diplomatic prospects. Meanwhile, the mainstream media—yes, I’m looking at you, CNN and MSNBC—are spinning this narrative like it’s a grand strategy, when in reality, it feels like amateur hour in the geopolitical arena.

What’s even more outrageous is the way these outlets plaster over the significance of India’s role in global affairs. Fox News might lean right, but even they aren’t diving into the consequences of this shift. When you prioritize relationships that could undermine a key partner—especially one as pivotal as India—you’re not just playing with fire; you’re dousing it in gasoline.

All these channels seem oblivious to the long-standing partnership between the U.S. and India. Instead, they’re draping this overzealous need for new friends in the region as if it’s some revolutionary upgrade in American foreign policy. Spoiler alert: it’s not. It’s reckless and destabilizing. And let’s not forget who pays the price for this political recklessness—ordinary citizens who rely on stable international relationships for their economic security.

The bottom line? While the corporate media plays nice with this new narrative, it’s our responsibility to sound the alarm. Washington needs to get its priorities straight before it’s too late.
