please read the fine print of the deal. It is important that we understand its implications for india in the long run. The benefits are more economic than strategic. Let us not beat our chests in jingoistic patriotism. It will get us nowhere. Even the chinese allied with Nixons USA to rise to the top. O' God !!!! Please save us from Karat, save us from Karunanidhi and save us from ourselves!!

You bring about an Excellent point. I am glad we are talking numbers here. I am not debating the number here. It may infact turn out to be more, and I wish it will be more for these reasons. 1. We will not be giving that money away. It will be buying planes, fighter jets, heavy lift helicopters, nuclear plants, space technology and such that should boost our economy. 2. We will be buying these from Russians or Europeans anyway. 3. We spent billions buying MIGs and Sukhois from Russians. Now can we build our own fighter aircraft or jet engine? The russians have not given us anything for free either. 4. If we are open, other will be open to us. We let LAFARGE of france buy our cement companies, and they let Mittal buy Arcelor steel. We cannot be in a shell anymore. 5. After 10 years when we look back, the 200 or 300 billion will look like peanuts, because we will have more electricity and a strong economy. 6. Indians may be owning land rover, jaguar, and become powerful global corporations. All we are doing here is moving 200-300 billion dollars from the russian/european account to the american account. The only question is whether it is worth pissing the russians off and what the consequences will be.
