I would he happy if that is the case. But no. India has no concept of loyalty or principles. It'll jump from one patron to another, depending on its interest. India also likes to play nations against each other if it could. Unfortunately for India, the great nations have already sussed it out and are no longer falling for it's games.

If this was completely true, I think that India would have a much easier time of things. The problem is that they do the above, but also secretly (or not so secretly) believe that they're a superpower so they don't have to listen to anyone. Just look at how multinationals in the country are abused by the justice system. And a hallmark of being a superpower is that you get to push other countries around without much regard for their needs and wishes.

That is why this whole episode of President Trump slapping extra tariffs on India is so funny.

India, by being a QUAD member and a BRICS member, is trying to play everybody.

In the end, they got played and owned by President Trump and they are entirely helpless.

That was the best part, or maybe they have nowhere to turn now is the best part.

:p

I think that everyone already knew understood how India is only ever on India's side. They will make a sacrifice to help someone else unless there's something juicy in it for themselves. India would never enter into a proper alliance or hold themselves to a particular standard of behavior. And I think that most of the world's powers are okay with that - as long as India could act as a counterweight to China. But the difference in how the US treated India before and after the May 7 battle is stark. The Americans now know that India can't counter China, not in econmics, not in people power, not in technology, not in diplomacy, and most certainly not militarily. And so India has lost much of its value to everyone else. That and Trump hates losers.

Can we still trust use economic data in the future.

PS I don't even trust US economic data now.

Apparently Trump fired the the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) because the BLS was "underreporting" the jobs numbers. He think she was playing with the numbers to make his administration look bad.
The BLS’ monthly

showed that the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, far below expectations. It also sharply revised down the employment growth that had been previously reported in May and June – by a combined 258,000 jobs.

After the revisions, the jobs report showed the weakest pace of hiring for any three-month period since the pandemic recession in 2020.

We shouldn't really trust US economic data, especially under Donald Trump.

The are playing both sides. It's just they are not very good at it. Vietnam is an example of how to do it properly.

India loves to yap about it's some geopoltics expert but in actual practice of reality, it's not good at executing them. All talk but less action.

To be fair, the likelyhood of a backdoor is fairly low since individual compute clusters of AI training GPUs are usually always firewalled from the open internet making remote access or even "calling home" very hard.

The actual malicious threat that people overlook (because they're distracted by worrying about backdoors ) is poison pill logic in the silicon. Since the US knows that nearly everyone who buys the H20 GPUS are in China, there could be malicious logic in the silicon that will return bad data or inefficient solutions to data matching certain criteria. For example if they want to hobble China's biotech sector and the parameters feed into Nvidia GPUs resemble DNA sequences, then it could maliciously create a model where it outputs nonsensical results for a new drug compound query.

We've seen countless instances of US sabotaging an adversary's infrastructure in way more clever ways than what's obvious to regular people - Stuxnet-Iran enrichment centrifuge sabotage, Siberian Pipeline explosion of 1982, just to name a couple.

By constantly hyping up a backdoor/remote-access threat diverts attention from more plausible and more malicious threats that actual tech developers/engineers worry about.

China is secretly building all these AI data centers but can't because they only have access to H20 inferior generation chips that were stolen. That sums up their logic.

Hmm where have I seen this before...

My father lives through the Japan invasion. He told me the Korean were just as sadistic and blood thirsty as the Japanese. My personal interaction with Korean were all, ALL negative. When I was in school, one called me 'chick'.

Which reminds me of how the SK army units (Divisions?) were sent by USA to fight in 1960's Vietnam and they earned a very bad reputation as brutal/murderous toward the Vietnamese soldiers and civilians alike -then it dawned on me that these SK's were simply imitating their colonial masters-the Japanese in every way-especially the ferocious brutality of the Imperial Japanese Army.I sincerely hope that stupid generation had died out-because if these SK idiots attacked China now ....I hope Beijing deletes/devastates them fully.

Typical anti-Chinese psy-ops -smearing/belittling Chinese as somehow inferior,less desirable and false...because it's supposedly a former USAF pilot ,so a thin veneer of legitimacy to his "opinions"-you can smell the fear of hoping/coping that the shit he's says is true.Haven't seen the F47 yet as USA is having her "marble boat " moment with Trump diverting military funds for ballrooms and refurbishing his "gift" 747 aircraft.;)DOGE.......where are you???
