That’s a major diplomatic achievement:

✅ India is now a Very Close Ally.

===== - India – Very Close: Strengthens our presence in Central/South Asia with a reliable partner. =====
* No direct U.S. forces in the region yet—but our friendship with India serves as a powerful foothold.
* Russia now has 1 influence in the region—but alignment and influence are different hurdles now that India is solidly with us.
* We still cannot remove influence directly in the region; but this new alliance position improves our chances in future actions.
* India’s status also sends a strong signal to China and Russia: we’re contesting power—not just checking threats.

===== - Political Alignment Actions: With a strong Indian ally, strengthening regional alignment becomes more feasible—even though the regional crisis is still elevated. =====
* Military Options: We can now explore arms assistance or training with India, enhancing their capability and limiting adversary influence.
* Diplomatic Leverage: Our global posture improves, especially in the UN and international forums, where India can support our values and priorities.
* Intelligence Sharing: Consider deploying Spec Ops or Intel Advisors to collaborate on counterterrorism or regional stability with India’s consent.

===== By building a Very Close alliance with India, we’ve created an anchor in a strategically important region. This will help us: =====
* Deter potential future Russian or Chinese influence.
* Position for crisis relief, alignment improvements, or military cooperation later in the term.
* Strengthen global coalition dynamics—especially given India’s rising economic, military, and diplomatic profile.

===== - India: Very Close Ally =====
* Remaining Action Points (AP): 19 − 1 (invite) − 1 (bonus) = 17 AP remain.

Would you like to proceed with further diplomatic strategy in Central/South Asia, plan an arms-trade with India, or perhaps reallocate focus to cyber defenses or domestic stabilization?
