 A NEW COLD WAR!?

It seems so as the Trump administration in the U.S., hard pressed by the fast spread of the Coronavirus contagion making America the No. 1 in that field too, as also by the countrywide George Floyd memorial “I can’t breathe” protests, which have in many places degenerated into mere chaos, is concentrating its guns on China now, spreading all sorts of malicious lies and inciting its protégés and ‘allies’ to attack it by all means. The Democrats in America, piqued by the shocking defeat of their candidate in 2016, tried all vicious tricks to first spread Hate Russia campaign under the directions of the deep state in America, shooting Trump with wild, false RussiaGate allegations and prolonged impeachment proceedings all of which boomeranged to their utter dismay. Now they are in the main leading the George Floyd protests also though, queerly, all the anarchy is concentrated in their controlled States. So now Donald Trump has targeted all his guns on China – against which there seems to be bipartisan unanimity in the U.S. in terms of wild hatred borne out of sheer jealousy at its phenomenal growth in the world economy despite all sanctions and vile measures of the U.S.-NATO coteries. They are spreading a venomous propaganda against China mainly on the issues of the so-called repression of ‘democracy’ in Hong Kong and their new National Security Law, of the allegedly deliberate spread/non-information on the spread of Coronavirus pandemic, and alleged ‘persecution of Uighur Muslims’ in China. More recently, America is trying to make best advantage by meddling in our [India’s] border clashes with the Chinese in an effort to shoot it over our shoulders. However, all the lies and schemes in their vicious propaganda and aggressive measures have been exposed by reputed scholars and wise statesmen all over the world and we Indians must realize that just as America had severely damaged the interests of world peace and progress by its stubborn cold war against the Soviet Union, it is again imperiling the welfare, even the very survival, of humanity by such confrontational moves in collusion with other Western coteries and trying to use us India as a pawn in their wicked game; we should strongly reject all such offers and moves, and build bridges of friendship and peace with China and Russia, as also other developing countries in the world, to foster not only our own national interests but also world peace and progress at large. §§§
