Scott Ritter discusses the current situation in Iran and also discusses India at the end

https://www.youtube.com/live/euTjsj7OonU?si=POqldmnh-fF0S4zu I am not optimistic about India because I don't think India there India hasn't made a strategic decision yet. Remember India was in 1:01:301 hour, 1 minute, 30 secondsIsrael making common cause with the Israelis right before this war started. 1:01:351 hour, 1 minute, 35 secondsum that doesn't sit well and India is problematic when it comes to China and Pakistan. I mean Pakistan 1:01:431 hour, 1 minute, 43 secondsI think Pakistan is one of the great superstars of this crisis. The the leadership that Pakistan has shown the maturity that Pakistan has shown the 1:01:511 hour, 1 minute, 51 secondsability of Pakistan to um work with the United States, with China, with Russia, with Iran um and others to to create the 1:01:581 hour, 1 minute, 58 secondspotential for a diplomatic solution. If ever there was, you know, an entity that deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, if if this if this 1:02:081 hour, 2 minutes, 8 secondscan if if if this conflict can be brought to an end, I think the Pakistani leadership deserves collectively the 1:02:151 hour, 2 minutes, 15 secondsNobel Peace Prize for the role they played in making peace possible. Um because it's amazing what they've done. 1:02:211 hour, 2 minutes, 21 secondsUh superb diplomacy. Um but you know, India is problematic. I mean, India is a problem child. It's big. It's powerful. 1:02:301 hour, 2 minutes, 30 secondsUm but they don't know where they want to be in the world and as long as India is indecisive like that. Now maybe this 1:02:371 hour, 2 minutes, 37 secondsmeeting will you know be the beginning of India's you know transition to being serious about bricks 1:02:451 hour, 2 minutes, 45 secondsbut right now India is not serious about bricks not serious at all. and he is more serious about uh you know G20 1:02:521 hour, 2 minutes, 52 secondsviability and uh you know hoping against hope to get an invitation into the the G7 um which will never 1:03:001 hour, 3 minuteshappen. Um you know India's also continues to lobby for relevance at the security council and they feel they need the United States uh support to uh to 1:03:091 hour, 3 minutes, 9 secondsget that. So India is is is putting far too much weight on a relationship with the United States that's no longer 1:03:161 hour, 3 minutes, 16 secondsglobally relevant. Um I mean the bottom line is India's future must be with repairing relations with China and um https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euTjsj7OonU
