US President Donald Trump wants to strengthen India and pit it against China, but he will not succeed, since the India’s leadership is cautious and playing its own game, political scientist, the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan said on February 15 on the Right to Know program on the TVC channel.
He noted that at one time he closely interacted with representatives from various political forces in India, and therefore understands how they feel about cooperation with the US.
“All I understood from conversations with politicians from the left and the right, with various religious leaders, is that they are very apprehensive about the fact that certain forces want to alienate India from China. They are incredibly cautious about this issue,” Kurginyan said.
According to him, India wants to replace China and become the same kind of a problem that China is for the US now. New Delhi has its own ambitions, and one would have to be very narrow-minded not to understand their scale.
The US also wants to use Japan and Germany to its advantage. And these countries will gladly take advantage of everything Washington gives them, but they will become a threat to it. That is why Trump will get confused in these games after some time, the political scientist explained.
“And the Indians, it seems to me, understand this very well. And Washington thinks like that: ‘Okay, India, listen to me! Take this, give that — and that’s enough, otherwise I’ll get angry. Don’t you know what happens when I get angry?’” the philosopher noted.
There is a joke about a hare that was robbed, Kurginyan recalled. Hare demanded that the animals return what they’ve stolen, threatening that otherwise everything is going to be like yesterday. They returned what they have taken and asked what’s it like being like yesterday, and he replied that they didn’t return anything the last time. And the Indians treat Trump’s statements the same way they treat that hare.
“The Brahmins say: ‘We know you’re a terrible person, we’re scared to death of you.’ And then they say: ‘Listen, take something from this idiot, and let him keep talking for another two weeks, and then we’ll agree on something’,” Kurginyan described the situation.
To change this situation, the US needs to show some brutal force, but they are unlikely to risk clashing with the People’s Liberation Army of China, the expert noted. Then the question arises, where will they decide to use this force.
“Where is the point where this can be most easily demonstrated? It seems to me that we are at this point,” the movement’s leader emphasized.
Trump needs to either prolong the PR actions he is busy with, or make a very large-scale “example.” So far, he is not ready for serious steps and he is reveling in the euphoria of popularity.
Kurginyan believes that the current state of the US leader will last for another 150 days, and India is looking at the US president’s statements with great skepticism, trying to take advantage of the moment and get everything it can: money, weapons, innovations.
“You don’t need to quarrel with a person who has such a wild imagination, ruining his fantasies. His imagination needs to be used to continue moving forward,” the expert added.
The political scientist said that when he was trained in sambo, Anatoly Kharlampiev, the martial arts researcher, taught him that the heavier the opponent, the more painfully he will fall if you do the right sweep. This is a typical Indian style, the political scientist emphasized.
On February 14, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Donald Trump held talks in Washington. They agreed that the countries would sign a trade agreement on mutual expansion of market access and tariff reduction. The Indian side also promised to increase purchases of US energy resources.
