response if it intervened on behalf

As we have seen with our historical example, while neutral India suffered a military aid cut-off from the US in the mid-1960s, so did Pakistan. In the same war, Beijing was also deterred with a military response if it intervened on behalf of Pakistan, despite New Delhi not being a treaty ally of Washington. There is also anecdotal evidence to indicate that Washington and Moscow tacitly colluded to restrain Mao’s China against India in the India-Pakistan War of 1965. Three years earlier during the 1962 Sino-Indian war, the US came to India’s assistance when India sought it as a non-ally. Almost a decade later during the 1971 India-Pakistan War, the US flipped sides and “tilted” in favour of Pakistan—not just to support an ally, but equally demonstrate its credibility in its emerging rapprochement with the PRC that the whole of Pakistan would not be fragmented by New Delhi. สล็อต
