The US has over the decades either taken down or vassalized many rising powers, be it Germany, Japan, Russia, EU etc. Now its China's turn. Tomorrow it _will_ be India. There is no need to pose a real and credible threat to the US, you just need to get strong enough to say no a few times and try to do your own thing. Monroe doctrine is but a fig leaf and a very slim one at that.
The US and behind it the UK deep state ie rich colonial families that lord in the house of lords to this day, know this as the only way to live and thrive. Its a heady feeling to be able to pull a few levers and get the world to do your bidding, or trigger colour revolutions, engineer regime changes, make or break huge global corporations, bankrupt entire countries, bomb the hell out of anyone who resists, have a paid media that amplifies and extols whatever you want and so on and so on... The lords aren't giving up anything anytime soon to BRICS or woke EU chicks. (thats why BREXIT was necessary) The Biden regime knows that they need to stamp the mounting resistance to this hegemony with all means avl, and they are doing just that, however stupidly and counterproductively. The whole jungle is under threat when the Simba of the moment goes berserk. India needs to be prepared and vigilant for itself first.
I get a feeling VR only has a naive and vague idea of what he is ta(l)king on, even if he successfully made money as a minor cog in the system. Trump knows a bit more but a pot can call the kettle black only so much, and now he is bearing the brunt of the system ie swamp he set out to fight.
For fellow forum birathers getting too excited, and fighting over "VR should be saying this or that", VR is as Indian and Hindu as Sunak or Mylapore Maami. Just the fact that he is not ashamed or tries to hide his hindu identity is a minor victory of shorts, he is fighting a POTUS election, not "BR Jingo of the Decade" election. Grab the popcorn, observe, dissect, comment and enjoy. Dil pe mat lo yaaron....
small nitpick, Cyrano ji
mylapore maami is not Hindu
despite cynical but piously articulated amriki assertions of "shared values" and all other misanthropic, and hypocritical "democratic" claptrap, India remains alone but within reach of the sharp teeth and fanged maw of the amriki geopolitical machine and the only way to maintain distance and safety, India should grow economically and militarily
our systemic, and socio cultural complexities makes for great difficulty in regime change agendas (but not impossible, remember how khujli was parachuted into dilli), unless they are able to foist some gora blood to occupy the top of the food chain
remember how the accursed eyetalian once held sway over India's industrial levers of power and the free run those pasta swilling mafia goombahs had to access the PMO, as well as, to the members of his family, including their relatives and practically lived in the PM's residence, giving direct instructions and orders to the obsequious babooze
those were the happy days of of the likes of sn@mpr0gett!, and qu@ttr0cch!
the BIF goras yearn for the return of those halcyon days
BTW, even if VR makes it, he will just be the glorified errand boy, just like mylapore maami, and the deep state will ensure that. If they took out JFK,........., anything else is mere child's play for them
