- Senator Ted Cruz, a member
of the Republican Party, was the key figure who
introduced legislation to exempt India from
sanctions under the 2017 CAATSA for buying the
Russian S-400 system.
Russian news agencies reported that Russia has
started delivering the first of the S-400s to India,
citing Dmitry Shugayev, head of the Russian military
cooperation agency, who said the first S-400 unit
will have arrived in India at the end of this year.
The deal was reached in 2018, and Russia has started
the delivery. It has created an imbalance of power
in the region. India may attain supremacy in the
region after the deployment of S-400, as no country
in the whole area has S-400.
If truth be told, the US policies are always
discriminatory since they imposed sanctions for
Turkey’s purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense
system but have exempted India for the same move.
As a matter of fact, the US policies are
discriminatory. They imposed the sanction on Turkey,
a NATO member, to deal with Russia for S-400 but
exempt India. Turkey was a close ally with the US
during the cold war era and a significant partner in
countering communism. Turkey’s contribution to the
Western World is huge and known well. Turkey was a
buffer state between Russian and Europe and
protected them against communist threats.
Technologically, Turkey is well advanced, and that
was why the US included Turkey in the development of
F-35 fighter jets. But, as an overreaction of the
S-400 deal, The US sidelined Turkey from F-35.
Unfair!
Similarly, President Trump imposed sanctions on
Iran after leaving the Nuclear agreement but allowed
India to maintain trade relations with Iran
routinely. India exploited the situation and gained
maximum economic benefits. India was importing Oil
and Gas at concessional rates from Iran and
exporting its products at higher prices. Also, India
got many projects in Iran, as the American sanctions
bared many other countries to keep away from Iran,
leaving the ground open for India only. So India was
facing no competition and getting projects at the
price of their own desires. The biggest project
India was involved in in Iran was Road and Railway
networks. It allowed India to reach all parts of
Iran, so India established a strong network of its
agents in length and width of Iran. These agents
were also working for America as well as Israel.
They were providing ground support for all types of
evil activities against Iran. The worth mentioning
is recent attacks of Israel on Iranian nuclear
assets, sites, personals, etc. These attacks were
Cyberattacks, Artificial Intelligence Technologies,
and very much precise. All this is possible if
ground support, ground data, ground support is
available. It is suspected that Indian agents
deployed all over Iran under cover of several
projects are coordinating with Americans or
Israelis. Without such networks, Isreal can not
execute very precise targets. India was the
beneficiary of all turmoils and exploited all
opportunities in its interests.
American legislations are only for adversaries,
but her dears, like India, always enjoy exceptions
and relaxations. Americans are exposed and are
losing credibility. Discriminatory policies may
never sustain longer and may reach an end, but after
damaging American reputation. It might cause
irreparable damage to America. Once upon a time,
there was a country where justice and equality
prevailed, but that was in history. Today,
discrimination, partiality, injustice prevails in
American society, and civil unrest is visible all
over America. Anti-American sentiments are on the
rise worldwide.
It is believed that having lost trust and
credibility, the discriminatory policies of the US
may never sustain longer and have caused irreparable
damage to America. The recent civil unrest in
America is due to its narrow-mindedness, bias
policies, and targeting certain ethnicities,
religions, or races. Well said, the injustice may
never sustain forever. The righteous and wrong must
be differentiated. When cruelty exceeds all limits,
God Almighty’s ultimate authority replaces nations
who are invaders, aggressors, and proud with the
humble, oppressed, and God-fearing nations.
Hypocrisy will never stay long, and one day,
others will understand and react. The media is in
the control of a few world powers, misleading the
rest of the world. Just for reference, after
dropping Atom Boms in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in
Japan in 1945, some of the so-called leading media
from America visited Japan at the sites of Atom
bombs. They reported no signs of radioactivity in
Japan, which means fooling people that no Atom bomb
was dropped on Japan. However, people in Japan yet
suffers due to radioactivity. Unfortunate!
