Indo-Russian friendship is very strong, both are strategic partners too
A few months back a US Deputy Minister or what they call Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo made a huge mistake of writing a letter to senior officials at the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Like a fool, he has warned and threatened of the sanctions risks faced by Indian companies and banks that do business with Russia’s military industrial base. A copy of the letter has been obtained by Bloomberg News.
The said Minister Wally needs to be encouraged to do some serious thinking on the subject because India too can retaliate in similar manner on all USA entities, both Govt and Private, who deal with anti India forces, operating freely from the American Soil. This tit-for-tat game can go on like Ping Pong.
During the 1971 Indo Pak war, that wretched Nixon too had tried to directly threaten by sending a naval flotilla to Bay of Bengal. Soviet Union had then stood by India and sent its nuclear submarines to take on the USA flotilla.
So it should be very clear to the Western World that India will never ditch Russia in its “economic” difficulties. So US and European officials should not wonder if India has become the second-biggest supplier of restricted critical technologies to Russia, after China.
Does the Western World think that it can still control the rest of the world and “choke off Russian exports” to India and others.
Instead of ordering Zelenskey to go for immediate negotiations with Russia and end the Ukraine conflict, they’re egging him on.
Indian exports of restricted items such as microchips, circuits and machine tools surpassed INR 500 crores in both April and May, about double from earlier months this year, and leaped to INR 800 crores in July, according to the officials, who asked not to be identified discussing private assessments. India is exceeded only by China.
USA, West European countries and others who wish Ukraine to continue fighting till “ last Ukrainian standing “ are merrily sending all kinds of military aid to Zekenskey. However they show anger and frustration when friends of Russia come out in similar manner to help Russia.
No wonder envoys of these Western countries who “ raise the issue” have received little response from their Indian counterparts. India’s Ministry of External Affairs declined to comment when asked about the trend. India is not answerable to them in any manner whatsoever.
The most recent data means almost a fifth of the sensitive technology that goes into Russia’s military-industrial complex got there via India, the officials said. So what ? even Russia has been giving similar technologies to India in field of Space technology,missile technology, nuclear power plants etc.
The fresh data underscores the futility of the US and its allies in trying to crimp a super power like Russia and Russian ability to thrash a puppet like Zelenskey. Ukraine conflict has been going on since last two and a half years. West has banned exports of most dual-use items directly to Russia.
Naturally Russia has taken to buying them from other friendly countries — sometimes from unwitting subsidiaries of western firms or networks of intermediaries.
The US and European Union have focused most of their efforts on a list of technologies found in Russian weapons or are needed to build them.
A State Department spokesperson uttered in arrogance that the department would reiterate rising concerns with Indian government officials as well as companies.
Lay off will be the retort of Indian people. Before even thinking of speaking to India on matters concerning Indian trade and commerce, first of all USA and its allies must eradicate / eliminate /banish all anti India radicals / separatists and terrorists operating from their soil.
Indians are in no mood to listen to the crap of “freedom of speech” etc. We are well aware of what you came down to after just a twin tower of USA got demolished. Also stop supplies all military and dual use items to Pakistan forthwith.
India’s has emerged as the top buyer of Russian oil despite allied efforts to restrict sales and India will continue to do so. No power on this Earth can stop it.
Period. Also this oil trade is in Indian rupee, another shocker to the famed US dollar !!!Officials from USA and its lackeys nations have visited India several times in efforts to stop these shipments, and several Indian firms have come under western sanctions. Well then soon Western firms may have to forget trading with India.
