The U.S. has shifted its stance on the India-Pakistan conflict, with Vice-President JD Vance asserting that the U.S. has "no business" in the war, contrasting sharply with previous administrations that actively mediated. Following a recent terrorist attack, President Trump condemned the violence but later criticized India's military response, reflecting a more hands-off approach. The U.S. now appears divided between an "America first" policy and a desire for limited engagement. Meanwhile, Pakistan is bolstered by new alliances with Azerbaijan and Turkey, which supply military equipment, and China continues to support Pakistan's military capabilities. The International Monetary Fund's recent loan to Pakistan raises concerns about financing a nation engaged in conflict. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, India may need to reassess its foreign policy and alliances, recognizing that it must navigate a complex environment where traditional partnerships may no longer hold.
