USA Hypocrisy at its Best

President Trump has made following announcements recently;

·        Any country which buys oil from Russia will face unthinkable sanctions.

·        Any member country of BRICS having anti-USA policy will be taxed 10% extra. There will be no exceptions.

·        Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio have unequivocally stated that BRICS is trying to weaken US Dollar. India’s role in BRICS has been questioned.

 Since the beginning of COLD WAR, successive US administrations have practised the policy of “Those who are not with us are against us”. This abhorrent tenet of US diplomacy holds true even today in 2025, albeit not stated so brazenly. USA has wanted to govern and control international issues according to its perceptions. Few ‘noteworthy’ interventions/decisions of earlier US administrations, which were detrimental to India’s interests are;

·      Joe Biden in 2008 was instrumental in sanctioning grant of USD 1.5 Billion for five years to Pakistan. A bill, that allows a $7.5 billion non-military aid to Pakistan and sustain it for next five years, has been unveiled by the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joseph R Biden and its member Richard Lugar.

·        Joe Biden was instrumental in forcing Russia to stop supply of Cryogenic Engines failing which transfer of USD 24.5 Billion to Russia would be stopped. Biden described the sale of cryogenic technology to India as "dangerous". “I am confident that the Russian leaders will recognise the wisdom of stopping this sale once they see the risk of losing their economic aid... This is no minor sale; this is dangerous”, he said.

US hypocrisy was not limited to India and Pakistan. Few examples of USA ‘political’ coercion are;

·        In spite of being the unappointed leader of NATO, USA refused to share the AEW/AWACS technology with its ‘friends’, the European Nations. In fact, USA declined to help UK in developing its AEW platform NIMROD.

·        Apart from guaranteeing ‘conditional’ nuclear umbrella to Europe, USA has ensured that all nations use USAF AEW platforms, both lands based as well as carrier based.

·        Trump has coerced the entire NATO community to contribute 5% of their respective GDP towards NATO upkeep.

·        During Bush presidency in 1991, USA ‘cajoled and coerced’ 37 nations to join USA in destroying the non-existent nuclear programme in Iraq. Op Desert Storm was launched on 17th January, 1991 in spite of reports from MI-5 of UK and FBI/CIA of USA that Iraq possessed no nuclear capability. He was admirably assisted by the then PM of UK, whom the press termed as ‘George Bush’s Foreign Minister’.

·        Of course the latest such action is strike by USAF B-2 Bombers on Iranian nuclear facilities.

It should not come as a surprise if present and/or future US administration is eyeing the 400 plus Kgs of enriched Uranium from Iran in exchange of.

To expose the ultimate level of US hypocrisy, please read the article pasted below published sometime in 2023. Indians unnecessarily are worrying about US-Pakistan bonhomie. It has been and will remain. Our aim should be to ‘MILK’ US technology in the form of Weapons etc.

Megatons To Megawatts

Russia-USA Relations

Just a decade ago, one in 10 American lightbulbs was powered by dismantled Russian nuclear weapons.

That was made possible by the Megatons to Megawatts program, an agreement negotiated after the collapse of the Soviet Union to convert uranium from Russia’s nuclear weapons stockpile into fuel for US nuclear power plants. The unconventional policy was first proposed by MIT physicist Thomas Neff in a 1991 New York Times op-ed. By the time Megatons to Megawatts ran its full course from 1993 to 2013, it had eliminated about 20,000 nuclear warheads and stood out as a point of shared pride in the often-jaded arms control and disarmament field.

“Nearly every commercial nuclear reactor in the United States received nuclear fuel under the program,” then-US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz remarked when the final uranium shipment left St. Petersburg for Baltimore 10 years ago. It was, he said, “one of the most successful nuclear non-proliferation partnerships ever undertaken.”
