Trump slapped Modi, no preferential treatment

 Modi thought he was going to get preferential treatment from Trump by going there early uninvited. Instead, he got thrown under an Indian overloaded train. achieving nothing but getting a slap from Trump over reciprocal tariffs on Indian exports to the USA.


Trump was in fact already calling India the 'tariff king' and any reciprocal tariffs means India is going to get the wrong end of the stick as all others, friend or foe.

India will be worse off from Trump's tariffs than China, with Trump knowing that any substantial tariffs on China is going to hurt the USA more than China. It is reported that 80% of USA consumer needs are all imported from China and there is no way that Trump can punish China without hurting the USA consumers. There is no such thing as unlimited threshold of pain that USA consumers can tolerate.

Modi probably will tell Trump - Slap baby slap. Modi has a thick beard to absorb the pain and a thick skin that does not feel any shame. He will probably spin it as success, having hugged Trump so tightly. India and USA will have another ''iron clad' relationship to tout about going forward, when India is needed to sabotage BRICS and break away from Russia to weaken the bloc.

It does not matter really if India leaves the bloc, as India has no way out but to use the US$ for its trade that runs counter to the agenda of BRICS. What is the purpose of having a member that is sleeping with the enemy inside the bloc?

Oh, just in case India leaves BRICS, keep the 'I' for Indonesia or Iran. Now, am I a conspiracy theorist for thinking that student unrest in Indonesia now ongoing is not due to outside instigation? Indonesia joining BRICS is rattling someone with the resources and motivation to conduct a regime change in Indonesia. Make a guess who would that be?

If Indonesia cracks down on those student protesters, the next stage would be condemnation by the West, accused of using force against students and curbing human rights, proceeded by calling for sanctions. Everybody knows what is in the playbook of you know who.

India's superpower ambition has been punctured by Trump for good. Cannibal Trump is making every ally a part of his menu.

The EU is on the menu now. Ukraine is on the menu as well. Canada is on the menu long ago. Now India is on the menu as Trump is forcing India to commit slow suicide just like the EU. It is best to avoid being a friend of the USA. No joke!

Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Philippines, their turn will come. It is just a question of time when Cannibal Trump gets tired of the same food on his menu.

When India leaves BRICS, the USA and the West will make a song and dance that BRICS is collapsing because of India leaving. They are delusional.

A USA National Security Adviser warned Zelenskyy to stop his insult of Trump. What happened? Zelenskyy was the poster boy of the USA and NATO, feted everywhere he goes in the West just before Trump was elected. Now, he is losing his country.

Oh, I just forgot he still has an island of his own to run to. Trump is going after him like a Pitbull, probably going to seize his loot siphoned from USA and NATO aid to Ukraine. Trump is asking for US$500 billion back from Ukraine. He is sending his doggie after Zelenskyy.

American doggies all had bad endings, either assassinated, betrayed or like Marcos, sued till his pants dropped and his money confiscated. The doggie in South Korea would likely be jailed. The one in Taiwan would have nowhere to run. The Mickey Mouse in the Philippines would likely be assassinated as well.
