🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 US tariffs against India aren’t about Russian oil.

They’re about sabotaging the 'Make in India' initiative.

Here's why:🧵 Image 1️⃣ The US has hit Indian imports with a total 50% tariff — 25% earlier this month, another 25% from Aug 27.

Official reason: “Facilitating” the Ukraine conflict via Russian oil purchases.

Real reason: Can’t stomach a strong, independent India. Image

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇳 Tariff terror. Fatal blunder. Betrayal.

The US is shattering decades of trust and strategic partnership with Asian giant India in just a couple of months.

But the bigger geopolitical picture is even more shocking.

Thread by @Kanthan2030🧵👇 Image 🇺🇸🇮🇳 50% tariffs on India, a country whose relations were supposed to be – according to the US establishment’s own words – the “most consequential for the US in the 21st century.”

India’s economy was also maligned by the American President as “dead.”

🤔Ouch! With a friend like America, who needs an enemy?

(Even Pakistan got better trade and investment deals from the US).

🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺 Colonizer becomes colonized — Trump bullies the EU into an unequal treaty & a brutal trade deal.

From the 2008 financial crisis & Nord Stream sabotage to Ukraine War & tariffs, the US has been systematically destroying Europe.

Let’s unpack:

@Kanthan2030🧵👇 Image 🇪🇺📉 The EU has a population of 450 million – 30% larger than the US – and had a GDP 10% larger than the US’ back in 2008. But after 12 years of economic stagnation, Europe has become a spineless vassal that is willing to accept shocking humiliation and blatant manipulation by the US Empire.

🌐 EU’s leaders are puppets of globalists headquartered in America. Unelected “leaders” like Von der Leyen are destroying the European economy and society. And their goal? Prolong the American hegemony.

🇷🇺 Europe may even annihilate itself one more time by going to war with Russia. Apparently, WW1 and WW2 were not enough to teach Europe the biting lessons of divide-and-rule in geopolitics. It’s now hard to imagine how this clueless Europe once colonized much of the world.

🚨🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳 A mega-alliance in Eurasia is about to restart, and it can be a geopolitical earthquake for Western hegemony.

Yes, we are talking about RIC – Russia, India, China.
Here’s why RIC is a necessity and will be a game-changer even more than BRICS.

@Kanthan2030🧵👇 Image First, a quick summary of why RIC is consequential.
🇷🇺 Russia is the world’s largest country by area – twice as big as the contiguous USA – and is the richest nation in terms of natural resources. Think: Oil, gas, coal, wheat, fertilizer, gold, diamond, iron, timber, platinum, titanium, uranium... the list goes on!

🪖 And who wouldn’t want to partner with Russia’s military, given its technological prowess, nuclear arsenal, unrivalled hypersonic missiles, fighter jets, missile defense systems and so on.

In PPP GDP, Russia is the 4th largest economy in the world.

📈 And thanks to President Putin, the Russian economy is resilient to the unprecedented sanctions of the US Empire. Russia has also proven to the world that global trade can be done outside of the dollar, euro, SWIFT and all the other imperialist traps.
