The US’ Charges Against Gautam Adani Are Biden’s Malicious Parting Gift To Modi
This case is one of Biden’s two time bombs that are meant to inflict continued damage to Indo-US ties, and especially to India’s international reputation, long after he’s already left office.
Indian tycoon Gautam Adani was charged with five corruption-related criminal counts by US prosecutors last week for his role in allegedly bribing some of his own government’s officials. New NATO partner Kenya then canceled $2.5 billion in deals with his company, whose stock plummeted by around 23% at a loss of approximately $26 billion. The Adani Group is also the target of Hindenburg Research’s critical reports, which is partially funded by Soros, who de facto declared Hybrid War on India in early 2023.
To add to the larger context, the Biden Administration has been the least friendly towards India since the infamous Nixon one as proven by it pressuring the country to dump Russia, ramping up claims of alleged religious discrimination, accusing India of an alleged assassination attempt inside the US, meddling in this year’s general elections, and helping to overthrow the former Indian-friendly Bangladeshi government. These developments lead to suspicions that the latest charges are also politicized.
Although there’s a formal separation of powers inside the US, the reality is that the Executive Branch and the Intelligence Community unofficially exert disproportionate influence over some criminal proceedings, especially in cases that have a sensitive foreign dimension like this one and the alleged assassination attempt. The reason why the Biden Administration turned on India is because it won’t dump Russia and its accelerated rise as a globally significant Great Power erodes the US’ hegemony.
It was explained shortly after the latest presidential election that “Trump Can Repair The Damage That Biden Dealt To Indo-US Ties” through the six policy changes that were described in the preceding hyperlinked analysis, yet the latest charges are meant to complicate that. Adani is one of the most important people in India, and his Group is among its top global brands. They’ve combined to become a powerful national asset whose persecution through lawfare is meant to send a strong political message.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi knows that this is Biden’s parting gift to him, one that’s being given with pure malice in order to make it more difficult for his successor to improve bilateral relations. Even if Trump purges his permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies (“deep state”) of the anti-Indian elements that he’ll soon inherit, which he’s unlikely to do in full no matter how hard he tries, then he’ll still have to deal with the consequences of these two criminal cases.
Although it was earlier written that the Executive Branch and the Intelligence Community unofficially exert disproportionate influence over some criminal proceedings like these sensitive foreign-connected ones, the ball’s already rolling and there are too many watching now for them to interfere in these cases. These are basically Biden’s time bombs that are meant to inflict continued damage to Indo-US ties, and especially to India’s international reputation, long after he’s already left office.
India should therefore deal with the next Trump Administration in good faith but not get its hopes up for a major turnaround since Biden is saddling his successor with heavy baggage to impede this. Their ties might never return to their golden era under his first term since too much has changed globally and in terms of their relations for that to happen. The best that India can expect is that Trump stops meddling in its internal affairs and pressuring it on Russia, but both might still continue, albeit at a lesser intensity.
Thank you Mr Andrew Korybkos for this contribution, especially since it is a point I did not know yet.
I think that Trump and the neoconservatives behind him are not driven by a short-term agenda, but should be considered in the medium and long term. According to everything you read, the keyword is Trump’s agenda, the people he brings into his government etc. It remains to be seen how he wants to achieve all this, especially since the democrats in the states are already calling for resistance and the government apparatus probably should also be cleaned up so as not to repeat mistakes from his first term of office Stichwort Ukraine etc.
Trump will probably focus mainly on the domestic area and the international hotbeds to get this under control. At the same time Vance should be built up as his successor and then complete the next 8 years, what he started, that would be if everything runs in this sense 12 years in which you can actually achieve a lot.
If he can still find a reasonable deal with RF, that’s at least a good start. In this context, we should remember 1989.
Just as the former USSR let down its socialist brothers, today one would say vassals, so will the EU states. That’s my forecast, because the EU economy is to migrate to the USA and Blackrock has already done a very good piece of work. If DE continues its de-industrialization, the largest net contributor to the EU will eventually fail and the EU will collapse. This will not happen today or tomorrow, but it will happen.The next Chancellor Merz is former European head of Blackrock.
Let’s remember George Orwell and his book 1984, he speaks of 3 power centers, the USA, China Asia and RF Europe with changing relations. Even if it is only at the beginning, but Biden has with his strategy on the one hand brought China closer to India and strengthened rather than weakened India’s role in the BRICS+.
Trump as a deal maker has no interest in this, he wants the USA to be number one. 1 and for this it requires, as Zbigniew Brzezińskis described in his book, the world’s only power, a dispute among the other countries. The author wrote not for nothing of the USA, its vassals and tributary countries.
Apparently the route for freight traffic RF - India has already started in some way. The FR has gained a high degree of recognition and influence due to its wise foreign policy and the associated contacts with China, India, Pakistan and Iran as well as Saudi Arabia. But it uses this very discreetly.I also think there are people in the USA who envy the RF about his foreign minister Lavrow. Think of the G20 summit at which Macron, the French head of government, is going to Lavrov to greet him.
The neoconservatives in the US who stand behind Trump probably admire Putin’s policies both internally and externally. Domestic because the "old" values are in the foreground. as we have learned in the GDR, the family (man+woman+child(er)) as the smallest cell of society are the highest good that it is necessary to protect. LBGT genders and all this stuff but now applies to every sensible person no matter what sexual orientation he has not.
India also has a long tradition, with only the Value West throwing traditions into the garbage heap of history.
The United States of America, in concert with its European quislings in the EU, has been consistently projecting extraterritorial overeach of its domestic laws and judiciary on India in blatant super-hegemonic disregard of Indian sovereignty and the freedoms guaranteed to Indian citizens on Indian soil by the Indian Constitution. Mascots like English first lady Akshata Murthy and Usha Chilukuri, both of brahminist priestcrafty Dravidian heritage which is alien to hundreds of millions of Hindi-speaking Vedic Indian masses as well as the natives of India's expansive North eastern hills, have been groomed and fielded by their EuroAmerican sponsors to serve as conduits for projection of this illicit hegemony of the super-feudalist corpimperialist Zio-oligarchic deep state ensconced in western bourses, on India. Their job is to hoodwink Indian political leadership by flaunting fake ethnocultural camarederie and evincing unguarded trust by dint of herd mentality in minds of their Indian counterparts in New Delhi , in the process hoping to shortchange India to the detriment of Indian straregic interests and furtherance of American global hegemony in the course of American dealings and bilateral or multilateral discourse with Indian government interlocutors. The spouse of the erstwhile First Lady of English Empire in the British Isles, a charming tawny Dravidian damsel Akshata Murthy, a corpomaniac veteran named Rishi Sunak, is in practice little more than a peon of his Anglo Saxon handlers, who had appointed him to a ceremonial office for upholding the time-honored status quo of feudalist racist hegemonic corpocratism which characterises British foreign and domestic policies. Regardless of whichever incumbent holds office in the oval office, certain trends are likely to continue as consistent components of American foreign policy.
I fail to see any point in the obsessive eulogisation of the likes of the impending incumbent second lady of America, Usha Chilukuri Vance by their Dravidian clansmen residing in southern India. Fooling oneself with delusional unreal expectations despite the fact that in reality, Usha Chilukuri does not care a two penny damn about them. Any independent audit will certainly fail to demonstrate even an iota of benefit which might have been brought upon India by Usha Chilukuri, Kamala Harris and Akshata Murthy in their capacity as second or first ladies, so all of the grandiose jubilation may well turn out to be an exercise in self deceit. Another fallacy being propagated is that Usha Chilukuri Vance is doing her Dravidian Brahmin community proud by proving her steadfast loyalty to the establishment in her adopted country , an establishment whose strategic imperialist goals incidentally are at undeniable odds with India's strategic and national interests. What follows is the superstition that it is kind of morally incumbent upon her clansmen in South India to take pride in and own up all of Usha Vance's political intrigues, and to fool themselves that it is their moral communal responsibilty to ensure smooth sailing for her amidst her travails in the USA, even if her machinations for furthering American geostrageic hegemony be at direct variance with Indian strategic autonomy and sovereignty and the multipolar world order. There is no merit in making the case for Indians to subsidize her endeavours at the cost and detriment of Indian national interest. Usha Chilukuri Vance is not Indian, everything about her demeanour from her style of smooching a man in public view and her way of walking and talking, to her ideological leanings and world view, is typical American. No tangible benefits will be gained by India in concocting or forging a "connection" with her.
Meanwhile, Usha Vance the ceremonial mascot, and her EuroAmerican principals, are but having the last laugh at the impressionability of those of her Dravidian Brahmin clansmen in India who are felicitating themselves on her political success as if it is ipso facto tantamount to their own emancipation. They want Indians to stand with Usha Vance under the spell of misperceived ethno-cultural camarederie or herd-mentality, but she has no plans to stand with India, so their exhortations basically boil down to unrequited one-way submission before a foreign power, something which is not in tune with a nation's self-respect. As regards the question of Usha Vance doing her Dravidian clansmen in India "proud" by dint of her feats, I think it is premature to jump to any conclusions. If in the course of next few years it turns out that Usha Vance has followed in the footsteps of her predecessors and forebears who have upheld the status quo of imperialist ravages across the globe abroad and repressive persecution of innocent rank and file American citizens at home on an epidemic scale by trigger happy policemen enjoying qualified immunity which characterise the corporatic American political set-up, then there will be nothing in such of Usha Vance's deeds for her co-ethnicist Dravidians residing in Southern India to own up, much less take pride in.
For all I know, the consensus among Usha Vance's supporters is that she undertook her interracial nuptial liason with Mr Vance out of considerations of love instead of becoming enamoured of his wealth, learning, power or stature. As such, her marriage has been an individual private affair between two individuals. She has married an individual who happens to be a European-origin American in private pursuit of a quest to find her true love, and she has not married the entire American nation or the white race for that matter. By exactly the same token of reasoning, I seem unimpressed by whole throngs of her clansmen in India throwing their lot in unison behind her, seeking to own up her political intrigues as well as unauthorised participation in her political fortunes in America, as if those endeavours were somehow imbued with patriotism towards India which is obviously not the case. It is foolhardy to pretend as if by virtue of tying the nuptial knot with her, Mr Vance has somehow become the son-in-law of her entire Dravidian clan back home in southern India. It is best to treat her as an individual, an American national, as they say, by respecting her private space and not pretending as if Indians residing in India collectively owe her any favour whatsoever on account of her personal successes in a foreign land.
Former ceremonial English premier Rishi Sunak, and his spouse Akshata Murthy, had tried various ingenius tricks to harm India for pleasing their Anglo Saxon bosses who were the ones actually in charge during Sunak's figurehead tenure, under the pretext of disincentivating India from undertaking economic liason with Russia. In reality, those anti-India measures were deliberately calculated to harm Indian economy, and would have been put in place nevertheless under one pretext or the other regardless of whether or not India was involved in business dealings with Russia. The underlying reason driving such policies is the manifest racist hatred towards the Indian public ingrained in the psyche of the EuroMerican feudalist elite. Dravidian brahminist beauty Usha Chilukuri Vance, who has put in a spectacular effort in acculturation within the US by virtue of her tireless effort in mastering rituals such as juicy smooching of the opposite gender in public view to the best of her ability in aping western etiquette (fashioned after her peer Rishi Sunak locking cheeks with blonde women like Georgia Meloni) while having little else to show by way of any meaningful contribution to the American host society, will in all probability follow suit in the footsteps of her co-ethnicist peer Akshata Murthy in respect of her attitude towards India, continuing to undermine Indian national interests underneath a superficial facade of deceptive sweet talk. This lady has no reason to be appreciative of, much less to respect, the inalienable unitarian cultural and spiritual bonds which have existed from time immemorial between Russia and the Vedic Indian masses, because she herself remains culturally alienated from the vast majority of the Indian masses in the first place and does not identify herself or her clan with them at all.
