u. s. are conducting these military drills on the other hand, remember, the u. s. has constantly pressurized india over its relationship with law school. in fact, time and again, the u. s. has raised objection when it comes to new delhi, buying discounted oil from moscow. but of course, the for more army chief of india also has a raised question when it comes to in the relationship with the u. s. listening. while it's good that we are part of the quads, it will be in our interest that we move cautiously with the us because washington has never made itself trustworthy and its dealings with any of the strategic and defense allies. the us extricated itself 1st from vietnam, then twice from iraq and recently from galveston. we must be very cautious in dealing with the us so all of these examples really that are being pointed out by the former, i'm chief of india. i points as the field allies, the feed relationship, which washington kept exit and london always good to live here. thanks so much serena, up to students. faith, how things are, thanks again, was we against a
