yes this statement is correct. The same way nuclear weapons of UK which are a deterrance against Russia are also a deterance against US.
Mind you deterance against some country means that country *wants* to attack you, implying US *wants* to attack India.(in which case a deterrance is not at all a bad idea be it against an enemy or an ally). The same nuclear weapons are also a detterance against Russia for India.
Ok few more questions to you....In 50-75 years when Saudi's oil does dry up or we find an alternate source of energy do you believe it will still be a US ally?
Did you think Vietnam would be US ally a few decades back?
Did you think that the west funded islamic warriors that fought against Russia is today the greatest threat to the west. And have little beef with Russia today?
In 42 could you percieve that US and Germany will be part of one defense block?
After pearl harbour, did u percieve that US and Japan will be close allies?
Did u percieve in 71 after receiving support from India, today bangladesh will be biting back?
I think we cannot use the past and some obscure analysis to arrive at a black-white picture...or in this case red & blue.
The best color u can give for India imo is light saffron with green, blue and red patches.
