About this episode
Chris, Zack, and Melanie get together to discuss Ashley Tellis's newest article, "America's Bad Bet on India." Tellis argues that if America thinks India will fight on its side in a conflict with China, "Washington's expectations of India are misplaced….New Delhi will never involve itself in any U.S. confrontation with Beijing that does not directly threaten its own security." Should the United States expect the world's largest democracy to come to its aid if there is a conflict with China over Taiwan? What does New Delhi want out of its relationship with Washington? Will India's democratic backsliding affect its relationship with the United States? Chris has a shoutout for Dr. Jennifer Lind for an article well done, Zack has complaints about the overreaction to news of Cuba possibly hosting a Chinese spy base, and Melanie congratulates War on the Rocks friend Will Inboden on his new post.
