What's funny is that India thought it was going to be China 2 lol
As I have said before the West will never ever allow a China 2 thing to happen again
The way it works is the US invests some money into a country, then make a lot of noise about how they're Asian tigers or dragons or China 2 or what have you and talk up their bright future. Then once that chive has grown really big with its stock market and real estate market highly inflated they will trigger a financial crisis, causing all the share prices and real estate to fall below market value. Then they come back with money and buy up all your exchangeable value on the cheap, that's cutting the chive.
The problem is as you can see in the first step, this actually requires the US to first invest some money and they only ever have money to do this one at a time, either in several small countries clustered together or one big country like China. When they tried to cut China's chive the Chinese market was so lucrative that none of the companies heeded the call to jump ship. Always they're like "just give me one more year, I can make my big money in a year and I'm paying taxes right?" Every year is one more year and before they know it the chive is so girthy that you can't even cut it down with a chainsaw.
So now they're 31 trillion in the hole, funding one really big active war while trying to get ready for an even bigger future war. Can't get their initial investment money out of China, can't cut China's chive and are even having trouble cutting tiny chives because China's BRI is like sticking lengths of green painted rebar in the chive field. They're down to doing things like cannibalizing EU, Japan and South Korea.
Then you look at India, it's a big chive ripe for harvesting and it's got no BRI-Yuan connection to make the harvesting harder. Up to now they haven't done it because they figure they need India to counter China, but if they are disappointed with performance of India and see no hope for India to become an alternative to China then the next best thing is to cut down that chive asap and use it to plug the 31 trillion hole.
But rest assured: even if they cut India down that's still not enough to fill the hole. In fact even if they could do the impossible and cut China down I'm not sure if even that's enough to fill the hole, such is the magnitude of the hole.
