Some readers may recall my pointing out that India was in the cross hairs of the West? (US Led NATO aka 5 eyes plus 1) Including the reasoning for the placement of Pakistan's leadership a couple of years back.
Last week: India's Greta Thunberg Knock-off Appeals to the West For Intervention/Meddling in India. Her face was featured front page/center in the Globe& Mail, not a coincidence
In 2019.. Jerusalem Post: Indian-occupied Kashmir: A new American dilemma
"India is at best a quasi union or federation of states"? Interesting and highly, highly suggestive that India can be broken up. Balkanized. Slights can turn into festering open sores. Divide to conquer can be employed.
Go back to this post: Kashmir: Article 370, Regional Developments, Crimean Similarities & Washington’s Intervention Desired?
Really think the "pandemic" is not being used to advance other agendas? Think again?
Let me bring this up to speed:

"Analyst says US Navy’s decision to send patrol into New Delhi’s waters is a sign Biden administration wants to reiterate America’s position as a global leader
A month after their leaders were among the participants in the first-ever Quad summit, a naval operation is threatening to drive a wedge between the
Feathers were ruffled in New Delhi after the US Navy on Wednesday sent a warship into India’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for a freedom of navigation operation (FONOP), without seeking prior approval. The patrol came while US presidential climate envoy John Kerry was in the Indian capital on a three-day visit to push New Delhi to take stronger action on climate change.
Stung by the suddenness of the operation, India’s Ministry of External Affairs on Friday registered a mild protest by implying that the operation was unauthorised, and adding that its concerns had been conveyed to Washington “through diplomatic channels”.
In response, American officials said the ship had simply “asserted navigational rights and freedoms in the vicinity” by conducting an “innocent passage” through Indian waters.
WHY HAS INDIA PROTESTED THE OPERATION?
The US Navy 7th Fleet on Wednesday issued a press release saying it had “asserted navigational rights and freedoms” inside India’s EEZ, and that it had done so by sailing the USS John Paul Jones, a 9,000-tonne guided missile destroyer, through Indian waters without requesting prior consent from New Delhi.
The “prior consent” to which the US Navy refers is the bone of contention between the two countries. In its Friday statement, India said it believed the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) “does not authorise other states to carry out military exercises or manoeuvres, in particular those involving the use of weapons or explosives, without the consent of the coastal state” in either its EEZ or on the continental shelf.
Patil said simply conducting such operations might not have been good enough for Washington, and that such public posturing through announcements was critical as a sign the Biden administration was reiterating the US’ role as a global leader.
“Under Trump, there was a criticism of the US’ inward-looking turn,” he said. “These operations are a sign that they are committed and that they are back on the global stage.”
Taking aim at China as well?
Manoj Joshi, a distinguished fellow at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi, wrote for The Quint that such an exercise was also a signal for China.
“Beijing is being told that it should not get too excited when the US carries out the exercise in South China Sea – it is part of a global US practice to challenge those, even allies like India, who in its opinion make ‘excessive maritime claims’ beyond those specified by Unclos,” he wrote.
Readers here were warned about Biden!
The article ends with the claim there is unlikely to be any lasting damage to the India/US relationship.. Given what's been occurring? It should becoming clearer to Modi that India is a target, not an ally.
