India is overrated. It will never go to wars. so US should up ties with the Pakistan and Afghanistan, Remember its pakistan that defeated Russia in Afghanistan and also defeated America in Afghanistan with US AID. They have more caliber to defeat the next super power.

If Biden is smart, he should up the relationship with Pakistand and Afghanistan. its deadly combo

Pakistan didn't 'win' anything. They have an extremely corrupt, dysfunctional and quixotic military and spy appartus to the point where nobody knows how's in charge.

The West doesn't make it's partnership decisions so much about who can hold out in a war across their borders.

India is a quixotic place, but not a bad one. I don't think anyone expects them to 'go to war' for anything, and neither Pakistan nor Indian soldiers I think are prepared for real action beyond their borders (though no doubt they'd fight in their own defense or against each other).

Really it'd just be good if India wasn't buying Russian Oil opportunistically.

That's an 'active' choice they have made, to 'increase' business with a bad actor.

It's opportunistically selfish.

Everyone realizes the dangers that Russia poses to it's neighbours, and some really don't give a smack, it's one thing to 'watch and do nothing' another thing to 'help'.
