The USA wants to use India to control countries around South Asia - Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives and Kashmir. Any closing of ranks among countries bordering India is seen as a threat.
With Pakistan and Bangladesh closing military links, that is seen as a bigger threat to USA and India's agenda. More so with China's involvement in economic developments in Bangladesh. Now is the time for the USA to push more weapons to India, economically beneficial and geopolitically fundamental, especially against China in Bangladesh and elsewhere in South Asia..
China's sale of weapons to Pakistan and ultimately to Bangladesh is a significant threat to India vis a vis the USA. China's access to ports in Pakistan and Bangladesh is also posing problems for India, that had been trying to cut China off its BRI reach.
With Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bhutan moving closer to China, it is decimating India's attempts to control these few countries. These countries have realized they have been betting on a lame horse like India and have seen the progress of countries betting on China. Even the Africans, far from what is happening in South Asia, have seen the significance of betting on China.

Is it any surprise that PM Modi keeps mum about the shooting down of India's fighter jets by Pakistan? I am not at all. Modi wants to start a war; he has to bear the consequences.
Shooting down five jets is not a small achievement by Pakistan. Palki Sharma is already gloating about India's missile launch against Pakistan but seems rather quiet about the shooting down of the Indian jets. No surprising really as she is the mouthpiece of Modi and if Modi keeps mum, she has to do so as well.
Now India is on high alert over retaliation by Pakistan. I think that will come sooner than later.
Just read the PAP newsletter (Shit time) about the war between India & Pakistan. The reporters ( Nirmala G & Robini M, Debarshi D (SPH India correspondent) Ravi Velloor (SPH senior columnist)) all dare not mention the downing of 6 India fighter jet..haha
Many social media channels are talking about the 5 jets shot down by Pakistan. It looks like the truth cannot be hidden.
Little India cannot talk about the failings of big India. I believe some big investments are already not doing that well in India. Sombodi in Red Dot is unhappy and calling Xi a mobster.
Hunzi has posted a video clip showing evidence of a destroyed Rafale engine debris on the ground and also parts of China's deadly PL15 air to air missiles taken by Indian sources. India cannot deny this anymore.
Pakistan briefing disclosed that India mounted a huge attack involving 70 to 80 aircraft. Because of the superiority of the radar detection range and PL15, Pakistan was able to fire first to take down 5 Indian aircraft before the Indians knew what was happening. Pakistan then held back from firing more missiles to avoid bringing down more Indian aircraft. Too many hits would give Modi no chance to back down and a big blow to his ego and reputation.
Pakistan also ordered all aircraft to be grounded to avoid engagement to give the Indians a chance to deescalate and not be humiliated too badly. Pakistan has achieved air superiority and control of the sky. Indian pilots would be shitting in their aircraft if they dare to cross into Pakistan.
It was reported that the French knew how desperate the Indians wanted the Rafales. Very likely the Air Force generals made very strong recommendations that the Rafales were game changer, bragging that one Rafale is as good as five J20s. Modi was convinced and paid US$240m for each Rafales instead of US$125m. The French hussled the desperate and gullible Indians into paying the Rafales more than the F35s at US$200m.
Now that the Rafales have been proven to be duds, not one, but two Air Force generals were sacked. This proved how disastrous and shameful was the loss to Pakistan. And France have told the Indians not to use the Rafales against the J10s, fearing more would be shot down. Stay away from the J10s.
