Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Moscow has allowed the United States to break its defenses. The US media broke the news that the United States and its allies were "very annoyed" by the meeting. The U.S. State Department said bluntly at the briefing that the Biden administration is "very uneasy" about Russia and India getting closer and closer.
The reason why the United States broke its defense so seriously this time is also very simple, that is, the timing of Modi's visit to Russia was too "coincidental", which coincided with the timing of the NATO summit.
At this year's NATO summit, the United States wants to focus on two topics: one is to support Ukraine and isolate Russia; The other is to exaggerate the so-called "China threat theory" and deepen cooperation between NATO and Japan and South Korea. But Modi's trip to Moscow has put both issues in a very awkward position.
NATO summit
First of all, it is impossible to isolate Russia. Even India, the "grass on the wall", has now begun to take the lead in jumping ship, and it will be even more difficult for the United States and the West to drag other countries in the world into the water.
Although the substantive cooperation that Russia and India can promote is very limited, one thing must be admitted, that is, as a leader with a very high sense of presence in the international public opinion arena, Modi's visit to Russia is still of great significance in terms of setting the wind. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Modi has maintained close diplomatic relations with Russia, but he has been very cautious about visiting Russia.
Since 2019, Modi has not been to Russia for almost five years. The last time he met with Putin was at the SCO summit in Uzbekistan in 2022, and even when they met, they hid behind China and tried to "avoid the limelight". But now, Modi, uncharacteristically, has sent a message to the world with a high-profile state visit to Russia.
Modi's visit to Russia
Even India's "wall-riding faction" has decided that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is approaching the final stage, and the United States and the West have no way to control the overall situation, whether on the battlefield or in the field of public opinion. As soon as this head is opened, more countries will definitely stand up and "communicate with Russia" in the future.
Under such a general trend, the United States' attempt to take advantage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict to divide camps around the world and provoke a "new Cold War" in the 21st century is completely impossible. Biden contributed money and effort, and it was difficult to see that he put all his European allies on the menu one by one, but not only did he not defeat Russia, but he did not even achieve the most basic goal of isolating Russia, and naturally broke the big defense.
Second, India's active efforts to build relations with Russia have also made it difficult for the United States to be "famous" when dealing with China. Before this year's NATO summit, the US media concocted a lot of fake news to distort the normal people-to-people trade between China and Russia. In early July, for example, Bloomberg came out of the news that China was providing "key components" for Russian-made drones.
China and Russia
And the NATO secretary general also openly shouted that China must pay the price for the so-called "aid to Russia" without any real evidence. The United States is desperately trying to exaggerate this atmosphere of China's "aid to Russia" for a very clear purpose, that is, it wants to portray China and Russia as the so-called "axis of evil", sow discord between China and Europe, and logically promote the process of NATO's Asia-Pacific transformation.
However, India suddenly jumped out and put the United States alongside. As we all know, China has always adhered to a strict neutral position on the Russia-Ukraine issue and has never provided any military assistance to Russia. The proof is that no matter how much the United States has poured dirty water on China so far, it can only talk about "key components".
But Modi's visit to Moscow this time is to talk to Putin about military cooperation. According to information released by Russian media on July 4, Rosoboronexport is jointly producing "Mango" tank armor-piercing shells with India, and 125 mm caliber "Mango" shells are used in T-72 and T-90 tank artillery.
The Indian side claims that the armor-piercing shells are used to meet "local needs", but in fact it is difficult to say where these armor-piercing shells will go. Every time the United States wants to pour dirty water on China and take the opportunity to stir up contradictions between China and Europe, it will first face the "double standards" questioned by European countries.
The United States welcomes India, a country that openly produces tank armor-piercing shells with Russia, and engages in technical cooperation and security cooperation, so what qualifications does the United States have to stubbornly bite the normal non-governmental trade between China and Russia and frantically hype up the "China threat theory"?
After this issue is raised, it will be even more difficult for the United States to want European countries to come to the Pacific to deal with China together. Therefore, now the Biden administration is naturally angry about India's "backstabbing" itself and openly visiting Russia. Moreover, judging from what Modi and Putin discussed at this meeting, the destructive power of India's visit to Russia to the US global strategy is by no means limited to ruining this year's NATO summit, and the "main event" is still to come.
BRICS Summit
This "highlight" is the BRICS summit in the second half of this year. After the Russian-Indian talks, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Modi accepted President Putin's invitation to attend the BRICS summit in Kazan in person. India's ambassador to China also made up for it to the White House, saying that there is no contradiction in participating in the BRICS and US-led "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" at the same time.
As we all know, because China has a high voice in the two multilateral organizations, the SCO and BRICS, India is very keen to "put on a face" when these two organizations hold events. At this year's SCO summit, Modi did not attend, but only sent Foreign Minister S Jaishankar to show his face.
At last year's BRICS summit in South Africa, Modi did not attend in person in Johannesburg, but attended it online. Now, Modi has personally promised to attend the BRICS meeting, which proves one thing, that is, this year's BRICS summit is estimated to be really a big thing. This big thing is likely to be to promote the establishment of a more independent settlement system.
Morty
The Russian ambassador to China has already made it clear in advance that although the BRICS is unlikely to launch a "common currency" in the near future, it is working on developing a financial system that is not controlled by any third party. In other words, the "BRICS coin" may not be able to be taken out, but a settlement network that has gotten rid of the international fund clearing system is likely to be slowly taking shape within the BRICS.
If this is done successfully, then it is equivalent to the world's major commodity exporters, as well as the world's largest exporters of goods trade, collectively under the "eye of the sky" of the US financial system, to build their own trade black box. It will be difficult for the United States to use the international fund clearing system to monitor the flow of global commodity trade, "long-arm sanctions" will become more and more difficult, and the decoupling process of "petrodollar" will be further accelerated.
If this is the case, then the day when the financial hegemony of the United States will collapse is probably not far away. Therefore, it is inevitable that the United States is starting to "break the defense" now, and it is inevitably a little too complacent. Modi's visit to Russia is just an appetizer, and in the second half of this year, there will be many things that will make the United States "break its defenses".
