India Arrests 7 American and Ukrainian Operatives—What's the Signal?
On March 17 local time, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) announced: the arrest of 7 foreign nationals—6 Ukrainian and 1 American—on suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks against India!
Few words, big implications! Before the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, Indian Prime Minister Modi rushed to Israel and had extensive talks with Netanyahu about India-Israel "father country, mother country" relations; after the conflict began, India provided the precise coordinates and itinerary of Iran's invited visit to escort ship "INS Dhruv" to the U.S. and Israel, leading to Iran's destruction in the Indian Ocean.
If the U.S. and India are so friendly, how did American operatives end up in India doing this kind of thing?
Given India and Israel's "father country, mother country" relationship, when Ukraine saw Israel "suffering," it rushed over to offer drone interception technology. How did Ukrainians end up in India doing this kind of thing?
According to Indian media, this NIA operation was a coordinated action across all of India. The American was intercepted at Kolkata airport; the Ukrainians were caught at Delhi and Lucknow airports respectively.
What specifically did these 7 people do in "terrorist activities"? India has 3 charges against them:
1. Entered India's northeast Mizoram state (India-Myanmar border sensitive control area) without permission.
2. Illegally crossed into Myanmar and made contact with armed groups posing a threat to Indian security.
3. Allegedly smuggled drones and components from Europe through India, providing weapons, explosives, and drone operation training to Myanmar armed groups.
What signals does this release?
1. American-Ukrainian collaboration is confirmed once again.
From the 2014 Kyiv Maidan color revolution in Ukraine, 2019 Hong Kong riots, to this incident of American-Ukrainian personnel accused by India of terrorist activities, we can see extensive covert cooperation between the U.S. and Ukraine globally. This validates Russian intelligence agencies' 2023 disclosure that "the CIA outsources significant overseas operations to Ukraine's intelligence agencies."
2. America's ambitions to create chaos and conflict around China remain undiminished.
The smuggling of drones and components from Europe through India and providing weapons, explosives, and drone training to Myanmar armed groups shows that America's ambitions to create chaos and conflict around China continue. It keeps supporting proxies and conducting proxy wars, attempting to disrupt stability in East and Southeast Asia.
3. India may be awakening after lessons learned.
In late April last year, after U.S. Vice President Vance visited India, "terrorist attacks" occurred in the India-Pakistan border area. Looking back now, there's something suspicious about it. Except the May 27 air combat—the first large-scale dogfight in 21st-century human history—caught the entire world by surprise.
Afterward, America's and the West's series of "kicking while down" reactions perhaps gave India that sense of abandonment and awakening—that it's just a pawn on the board. Proud Indians are beginning to "demonstrate" strategic "autonomy," attempting to renegotiate and reset pricing with the U.S. and West.
4. America's conspiracy to strangle China's supply chains continues in full swing.
Pakistan hit by terror attacks, Myanmar destabilized by U.S.-Ukrainian-backed opposition armed groups, the Ford carrier entrenched in the Red Sea causing Mandab Strait closure threats, U.S.-Israel-Ukraine war causing de facto Hormuz Strait blockade, Panama Canal disputes continuing, Australia's Darwin Port allegedly to be reclaimed by Australian authorities at U.S. request, Madagascar coup bringing pro-American government to power—all these events show America has dusted off Mahan's old playbook and is executing a conspiracy to globally strangle China's supply chains.
Including Myanmar's Kyaukpyu port and China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, Pakistan's China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, and Madagascar controlling East Africa's sea lanes.
Therefore, India's arrest of these 7 American and Ukrainian operatives demonstrates that America is the world's troublemaker, the culprit behind global conflict! We cannot harbor any illusions about this. We must constantly remember that "imperialist ambitions to destroy us never die" is not mere rhetoric! $BTC
