Reply to comment by bot420 in Blinken says India, South Africa are on slow trajectory away from alignment with Russia by Falls_stuff

Send an ambassador to India first. US has been dillydallying on US ambassador to India for years now . What message does that send to India.

Is India willing to accept a US Ambassador? I have no idea how any of that works but I'd be surprised if a country could just call up another, state there is an Ambassador coming, and expect the receiving country to just have a place ready for them. Is there already a vacant US Embassy there?

There is an embassy, but there hasn't been an ambassador since 2021.

Ahh, I see. I didn't know if the property gets absorbed into the home country when the embassy isn't occupied.

it is occupied; there is a full staff and a foreign service member with the title "Chargée d'affaires" as the acting ambassador, but as such they can represent the US, but not the POTUS, as an ambassador does.

Your shitty politicians are lobbying different candidates which is creating this mess. Ask them to get on same page and send a candidate immediately, see how fast India aligns with NATO then.
