Golden Visa for Ukrenians : European War Dims Biden Prospects for a New Term, Admits Obama

Published Date: 18-07-2024 | 2:39 am

US President Joe Biden, who did not try to end the fratricide i.e. the war between Ukraine and Russia might have served the war industry of his country but he has also lost his political base. Even his political mentor Barack Obama, a former president,is apprehensive of his political future.

There is a growing realization in the US that mostly wars usher in deaths and devastation, but for a few, it brings huge financial gains. The recent  decision of the UAE offering golden visas to a section of Ukrenians indicates that the war also brings unprecedented prosperity to some people.

Obama’s reaction published recently in the Washington Post has finally exposed the blame game against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that his warm hug with the Russian President Vladimir Putin has adversely affected peace prospects. Another reason against Modi could be that he had reiterated India’ s plea for peace during his recent visit to Moscow. Perhaps, he has upset the trillion dollar American war industry as well as a section of politicians in the US, including the contemporary rulers of Ukraine.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the apprehension of the cessation of the Ukraine -Russia War might not only be adversely affecting the financial fortunes of giant American corporates manufacturing weapons and explosives, it might also be hurting the interests of the political faces in the ruling Democratic Party. In this context, it is natural for the top functionaries of the Biden Administration to criticize Indian efforts for peace.

 There is no denying that since the flaring up of the conflict, the American war industry has been earning huge profits. The prices of their shares have increased manifold since February 2022, when the war broke out in  Eastern Europe.

The criticism of the recent visit of Modi to Moscow could be traced to the undercurrent of the war mongers in the US cutting across political, military and corporate leaders as  well as the ruling oligarchs in Ukraine enjoying unprecedented financial bonanza being reaped by sabotaging peace efforts, thus enabling them to reap the fruits of huge money being accrued to them from the ongoing Ukraine -Russia War.

Modi’s visit is not only being criticized by the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a comedian-turned politician, but also by the Biden Administration. Few take Zelenskiy comments seriously in New Delhi or Washington, but the recent statement of the US Ambassador in New Delhi Eric Garcetti, cautioning India that she should not consider American support taken for granted has amused the strategic affairs scholars in New Delhi, few took it seriously and even refused to comment about his undiplomatic, if not rude, statement.

Apart from these statements, the comments of the Whitehouse officials against Modi’s visit are also quite critical. However, these comments have become irrelevant, as Biden’s future will finally be decided next month in the convention of the Democratic Party.

Chinese Military Exercise : It is being stated that during the visit of Modi to Russia, the 30-member NATO military alliance leaders were meeting in Washington to discuss huge military support to Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia. The media coverage of Modi hugging the Russian President Vladimir Putin has irked the war mongers in Washington, for them, Modi has legitimized the Russian aggression against Ukraine. However, not a single comment was made regarding a 11-day joint military exercise being conducted by the Chinese and Belarus forces near the borders of Poland, a member of NATO. The exercise is being done within 2 8 kilometres from the Polish borders.

Similarly, during this period, the Russian navy with two warships, one oil tanker and a nuclear submarine has been conducting joint military exercises with Cuba. They were also experimenting with the much-needed testing of Zircon Hypersonic Cruise Missiles. Earlier, the Russian frigate, Admiral Gorshkov, had entered the Cuban harbor offering 21-gun salute to the people of the country reminding them of their old ties with Russia.

The Knee-jerk Response : During the 1962-Cuban crisis, the then US President John F. Kennedy, a Roman Catholic in a Protestant country, had invoked the two centuries old Monroe Doctrine that the US would not allow any European power to interfere in the affairs of the Americas. He however, was eliminated by the aggressive Protestants, but the real conspirators were never revealed. However, President Joe Biden, also a Roman catholic, who didn’t react to this military exercise, maintained his support to the military-industrial corporate, thus earning support for a next term from the powerful corporates.

Meanwhile, the American administration has also maintained silence on the ongoing military exercises being jointly conducted by the Chinese and Venezuelan forces.

In New Delhi, however,few are surprised by the double standards being adopted by the US administration,  perhaps, under the spell of the military-industrial corporate thriving upon the European War. It is being considered a proxy war the US is fighting by using the docile Ukrainian government.

Apart from causing human tragedy, the War, maybe the biggest conflict in the post World War-II years in  Europe. Like the East India Company during the British colonial era, the American corporate too have deeply penetrated in the US democracy. If the East India Company could manipulate British politicians and the House of Commons, American corporate have evolved a narrative that anyone opposing the conflict initiated by them is the enemy if the US and the free world.

Modi has to be belittled and Trump needs to be prevented from reaching the Whitehouse either by implicating him in  trumped up charges before courts or even making assassination attempts. It is also a mystery why the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who  dared to attack Donald Trump was killed on the spot, thus ending the possibility of ever unearthing the real conspirators behind the attack. Meanwhile, the US media without quoting any source has woven a narrative that Crooks might have been prompted  by the Iranian deep state. In a bid to justify their logic, it is being stated that during the Trump Administration, the elimination of the Iranian General, Quasem Soleiman, was decided. The Iranian General, however, was killed during the Biden Administration.

A Trillion Dollar Business  : It is not only in Europe or India, people suspect that the weapon manufacturers are making huge profits by unleashing  conflicts across the continents. Donald Trump, a former US President seeking re-election, too has been accusing the Biden administration for liberally funding the American proxies to continue conflicts in various parts of the earth. Therefore, he has to be prevented from becoming US President.

With a view to keep the conflicts going on, the deep state of the US i.e. CIA has never hesitated to tie up with the much -pronounced enemies of the USA, such as the Chinese intelligence, Islamic Jihadists and others. It is being stated that while Modi was being honored in Moscow, Russian missiles triggered havoc in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, causing a large number of casualties including children.

It prompted Zelenskyy to issue an unfriendly statement that Modi, the leader of the world’s largest democracy, hugs, a bloody criminal I e. Putin. The two leaders were seen hugging each other in Moscow.

Indeed, the statement of Kaine Jean Pierre, a Whitehouse spokesperson, that we believe India’s long-standing relationship with Russia gives her the ability to end the War. On the other hand, Matthew Miller, another functionary in the Biden Administration has been boasting that we are quite clear about our concerns regarding India’s relationship with Russia.

Golden Visa for Ukrenians : Among the world’s most corrupt 180 countries, Ukraine occupies 104th position. Therefore, it is not relevant  whether the first lady of Ukraine, Olena, has booked a luxury car, a customized vehicle to be delivered in 2026 costing USD 4.8 million or it is fake news, but it is quite well-known that the Ukrainian President and his family are rich. The allegations of corruption against them include obtaining properties in the US, UK, Italy and France. It has been published on a French news site, Verite Cachee, or the Hidden Truth, but the American journal, Newsweek, has debunked these allegations as just lies.

The allegations of the former Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych that before contesting the presidential poll, Zelenskyy and Olana had parked their money in shell companies and invested in real estate.

The Pandora papers has already published details about the Zelenskyy supporters siphoning off huge money to Dubai.  The Odessa Military Commissioner, Yevhen Borisov, a confidant of Zelenskyy had to resign finally for indulging in large scale corruption. Anyway,  the Golden Visa finally exposes the supporters of the  continuation of the War.
