Baffled at the Biden admin's lack of meaningful response to immensity of suffering in India - even a simple statement of compassion & solidarity. & don't get why we can't at least put some ventilators/oxygen on a plane while we figure out DPA etc.... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/24/world/asia/india-coronavirus-deaths.html
As @tanvi_madan has noted, this is not just about the relationship with the Modi gov't, it's about the United States' relationship with the people of India. And how we are failing to do what many others have already done: https://twitter.com/tanvi_madan/status/1386080499064573953?s=20

This is a very smart thread from @MilanV outlining what a response could & should look like, immediate & longer-term: https://twitter.com/MilanV/status/1386118996227813376?s=20
But I'm with @clary_co & all the others saying: do something. If we want anyone to take our arguments about "shared values" seriously, then start acting like it. Now. https://twitter.com/clary_co/status/1385656528183644162?s=20
Are Modi gov’t policies problematic? Does it bear significant responsibility? Yes & yes (see below). But this is still an unforced error for the US, esp an admin whose strategy is predicated on “shared values” & democratic ideals. https://twitter.com/samjawed65/status/1385546644922507265
Ok, *finally*. Better late than never. https://twitter.com/secblinken/status/1386148447179493380
Now we wait to see what the "more soon" is: https://twitter.com/JakeSullivan46/status/1386154975668080644?s=20
