Are Countries Trading Weapons Really International Friends Of India?

Pakistan’s friend is China. Russia’s new friend is Pakistan. Russia and China are also friends. What is the name of the oldest friend of Pakistan? America. Who has bad relations with China and Pakistan? India. Who are the friends of India? America and Russia.

So who will stand by India to protect India from the threats of China and Pakistan? America and Russia. But they are also friends of Pakistan? So? Even then, they will help strengthen India.

India has the largest arms procurement trend in the world.

What kind of help? With the world’s most powerful, state-of-the-art weapons and other combat equipment. How is it helped? India has to buy them. The more India fears Pakistan and China, and the greater the likelihood of an external enemy attack, the more weapons and military equipment are needed.

Over the years, various fears from China and Pakistan on various fronts in India have been growing. India’s arms and military purchases are also on the rise. You can’t even take a risk because India has a war with these two countries. So, it could happen again.

What is the position of India in the list of largest arms purchases from western countries in the world? The second. Saudi Arabia in the first place. Third Egypt. Which three countries sell the most weapons to other countries? America, Russia and France, respectively.

Why are these known permutations and combinations of diplomatic relations between different states being called again? Because from this equation, it is clear how the western countries are using India. We think they are our friends. They think of us as customers. Not going anywhere for 6 months. Not setting foot outside the country.

Why is it that Russian President Vladimir Putin came to India for just one day and met with the Prime Minister? To establish a new friendship. What is the medium of that alliance? 26 agreements. The lion’s share of which is military cooperation. That means buying weapons.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in its report on the International Arms Transfer in 2020 said that India has the largest arms procurement trend in the world. India accounts for about 10% of the world’s arms and military imports.

Western friendship with India has always depended on how much India can strengthen its arms trade. As Indira Gandhi and the Congress traditionally had much more stable relations with Russia (Soviet Union), the present Indian government has taken a different path due to political, ideological differences. That is, at the opposite pole of Russia. America and Israel.

But America has never seen anything but its own interests. And Pakistan has been their most loyal friend for a long time. Pakistan’s hand does not leave America. But in recent times, India has been given a little more respect because Beijing has put itself in the place of huge power.

So America needs India. Why? Because we want a U.S. naval base in the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, the South China Sea. I want a friend. So in the last 4 years, America has made the most alliance with whom? With Japan, India and Australia. What do they have in common? Each of them is a land near the ocean and the sea.

And China’s relationship with everyone is bitter. America has created an axis with Japan, Australia and India. Quad.

Over the years, India has been seen buying arms and military equipment from the United States, Israel and France. What did Russia do after seeing this? This is the first time it has suddenly joined a joint military exercise with Pakistan. Russia has held military exercises with India. But in the last 75 years, it has never done so with Pakistan. This is the first.

This is not the end. Russia has made friends with China, according to various UN Security Council resolutions. The decision of the two on the same issue is the same. In this way, the axis of China, Russia and Pakistan was formed quickly. The greater the threat to America, the more India.

There is always a threat perception around India.

Didn’t Russia send a message to India that you forgot me and went to the American camp, so I went to your enemy camp too?

And just then, the attitude of India was changing. Again, India started turning towards Russia. And so, the orders were given, which would turn the Russian economy upside down. S400 Advanced Missile System deal worth ₹59,000 crores. This time 21 new Mig Twenty Nines, 12 Sukhoi Thirty MKI in a deal worth ₹20,000 crores. The Arihant class ballistic missile submarine deal is also with Russia.

Rafale aircraft coming from France. Nassamas to Air Missile System, Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft coming from America. C One Thirty Plane. P71 Naval Aircraft.

Germany has traded infrastructure with India. This means providing financial and technical assistance for the construction of the metro or technical assistance for high-speed trains. This time Germany is not willing to lag behind. Germany will sell HDW-to-One four submarines to India.

What is the reason for India to remain as a universal buyer? Because there is always a threat perception around India. Realising this, China attacked. Occasionally the Chinese army enters. Pakistan occasionally fired in violation of the border agreement. These two countries want India always to keep itself ready for war. And let’s spend money freely in the defence sector, which puts constant pressure on the Indian economy.

As a result, China and Pakistan have benefited, while India has not been able to accumulate huge financial savings. The economy cannot touch the sky. The advantage of France, America and Russia is that the more India is compelled to make such preparations, the more their arms trade will be profitable.

Are there any countries around America that will attack America at any time?

No. Do you have any concerns about the U.S. border? No. Will France cross the border and invade any neighbouring country now? No one. Who will do Germany? Absolutely not. Does anyone have such animosity with Russia that could scare Moscow? No one. That is, they are each at ease.

But I sincerely want India to be in danger. So we bring more and more weapons. International trade is going on with us. India has turned into a golden egg-laying duck. Western countries are leaving with our money. That neat trade is called friendship.

But this is the real test. India plans to become self-sufficient in building military equipment for the first time. In other words, weapons and war equipment will be manufactured in that country. Imports will be reduced. Several decisions have already been made in that direction, which is commendable.

But the question is, how aggressive will it be? Because one of the main faults of the present Indian government is rhetoric. This government does not know anything about understatement. Everything is an overstatement. More is said. And that is more propaganda than work.

If India really takes the path of serious self-reliance, the interests of these western countries will be severely damaged. Only then will their true form be seen. Will they remain friends of India? Or secretly start helping the enemy?

From John Temple to Winston Churchill, everyone turned around and said in a quote, “There is no lasting friend in foreign policy. There is no permanent enemy in foreign policy. The only lasting foreign policy is — interest.”

Given that Putin has made so many agreements, it is now possible to predict that in the next few months, it will be heard that U.S. President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris will be coming to India. With friendship. Trade, in brackets.
