Baffled at the Biden admin& #39;s lack of meaningful response to immensity of suffering in India - even a simple statement of compassion & solidarity. & don& #39;t get why we can& #39;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">https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/2...
As @tanvi_madan has noted, this is not just about the relationship with the Modi gov& #39;t, it& #39;s about the United States& #39; 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">https://twitter.com/tanvi_mad...

But I& #39;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">https://twitter.com/clary_co/...
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">https://twitter.com/samjawed6...
