Transcripts
so you have Biden pulling off a series
of gas in the US but this tendency seems
to have crossed continents and made its
way to Americans in other places like
India yesterday we saw a foot in mouth
moment here courtesy Eric garetti the US
ambassador to India Garcetti thought it
was a good idea to lecture India over
prime minister Narendra modi's recent
trip to Russia take a look at what he
said 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 that was a shot fired at India
and its relationship with Russia the
first rebuke was soft but garetti
followed It Up by talking about India's
relationship with the
us because this relationship in
Washington is a special one indeed it is
very wide in Washington today were very
few things unite American political
leaders it is bipartisan It Is by coll
and it is by Branch but as I also remind
my Indian friends while it is wide and
it is deeper than it's ever been it is
not yet deep enough that if we take it
for granted from the Indian side towards
America he said that the India us
relationship is cot Court not yet deep
enough and he warned India to not take
it for granted basically he told New
Delhi to not push its luck because the
US may change its mind about the
friendship and this is the latest in a
string of American lectures first there
was Matthew Miller the US state
department spokesperson listen to what
he said as I said yesterday we have been
quite clear about our concerns about
India's relationship with Russia we've
expressed those privately directly to
the Indian government um and continue to
do so and that hasn't
changed Miller said that the US raised
its concerns with India privately
unwarranted but at least it was Private
then there was a public rebuke by
Ambassador Garcetti in New Delhi his
tone may have been friendly but his
message was not and finally there was
Jake Sullivan the US National Security
adviser yesterday he said and I and I
quote we've made clear to every country
in the world including India that a bet
on Russia as a long-term reliable
partner is not a good bet salivan
statement is extremely ironic he talks
about Russia not being a reliable
partner and he said this yesterday
within hours of Garcetti telling New
Delhi to not take Washington's
friendship for granted you can't make
this up The Americans really need to get
their story
straight and more than that they need to
get with the
times they never liked India having
strategic autonomy it was the case in
the last century as as well when the US
was fighting its cold war against the
Soviet Union India wanted to maintain
good ties with both sides and this
angered the Americans so they chose to
lash out by supporting India's Arch
Enemy Pakistan we all know how that's
worked out Pakistan is a terrorism
hotbed and India is the world's largest
democracy this happened despite the us
being on the opposite
Camp a camp it chose because it disliked
India's strategic
autonomy and now it is making the
mistake again by consistently lecturing
India about its ties with Moscow and
warning India about not taking American
support for granted it's like a song
stuck on Loop Washington needs to come
out of this old world mentality it could
not Shake India's resolv in the last
century when India was significantly
less
developed so what makes the Americans
think that they can influence India
now India is fiercely protecting its
strategic autonomy garetti said there is
no such thing as strategic autonomy in
times of
conflict but whose
conflict this is not India's conflict
it's time Washington accepted
[Applause]
