Why the USA is trying its utmost to pull down India?
The Economic and Military rise of India is not being liked by many. China will certainly not like India to be a major power but USA which pretends to be a friend, also is not happy with India because it has openly refused tow its line not only with respect to Russia Ukraine Conflict but also on scores of other international issues which includes mlitarization of Quad.
A major problem has started with unilateral American and West European sanctions on Russia, which India has rejected point blank. After all, these Countries had placed similar type of sanctions on India when it had carried out a nuclear test in 1998. Also India will not break its long time tested friendship with Russia, just to appease Western Countries.
Theirs issue is the sanction on import of oil from Russia. Due to this sanction, It is estimated that there is a shortage of 600,000 barrels of diesel per day in Europe right now. And this number will only increase over the course of this year because most forms of transport run on diesel.
Surprisingly, the major supplier to plug this gap will be India as we will be meeting nearly 60% of this diesel demand thanks to our huge refining capacity. India is emerging as the upstream refinery destination of Russian crude oil which is then refined and exported to Europe
This is a huge game-changer in geopolitics as India will move up from Consumer to Producer.
Currently, India is buying 1,700,000 million barrels of Russian oil every day at roughly $47 per barrel. This means that the potential export revenues is to the tune of $70 billion this year.
The US simply cannot tolerate this rise of India in the energy geo-economics especially when it is built on a partnership with Russia. This is why all these attacks on our country are happening. They have moved beyond “human rights” and “religious freedom” to wild documentaries and even attacking Indian businesses.
The other reason for the US to get upset is that India is securing its sea route through the ‘Necklace of Diamonds’ bases which can be used for global supply chain as well as naval military purposes.
But what threatens the US the most is the next step where India is likely to join other BRICS nations to implement the ‘mBridge’ platform for international hydrocarbon trade. That will be the death knell for the US Dollar and enormous privilege that US economy enjoys due to the hegemony of the Dollar.
The next major issue for USA is dedollarization of international trade by India. The recent direct trades between India and many countries in bilateral currencies without the US Dollar is already a warning shot to the USA. The idea of moving international trade away from the US Dollar is spreading fast. The American chairmanship of the Oil, Arms and Pharma mafia is tumbling like a pack of cards.
Then India has openly refused to listen to USA warnings, threats, cajoling and then outright pleadings to stop arms imports from Russia. India has made it clear that it will buy arms and equipment from wherever it wishes. Each case will be decided byIndia alone purely as commercial deals.
No wonder a few Senators and Congressmen have been acting in most idiotic manner andthrowing tantrums in their houses, hoping that India will listen to their rantings. Next various agencies have been trying all their dirty tricks to pressurize India.
Their have been motivated articles in their national tabloids (for 140 million Indians certainly NEW YORK TIMES is nothing more than a tabloid). Some so called Researchers have been giving LOW RANKS to India in Press Freedom, Happiness Index and what not. Well Indians just have a heart laugh at such demonstrated stupidity and we rank these countruesin first five in STUPIDITY INDEX !!!
The BBC story and the Adani Issue are only a couple of other attempts to derail India.
There will be more to come.
We need to stand united with our leaders and thwart such attempts.
