INDIA PERSPECTIVE

New Delhi observes the Atlantic crisis with the amused detachment of a power that never joined NATO. The Times of India publishes two complementary analyses: the first, tinged with British humor, decodes Starmer's 'I'm fed up' through Yes Minister — the gap between claims of sovereignty and the reality of dependence on Washington; the second reports Trump's 'venting session' with Rutte, described by Politico as a meeting that 'turned sour.' Indian press excels at analyzing Western decline with a mixture of perspicacity and schadenfreude. For India, the Atlantic fracture confirms its non-alignment strategy: when your allies are tearing themselves apart, it is better to be no one's ally.
