Now, when the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Philippines are clowning in the South China Sea, there is one more thing happening on the Indian side.
According to local India**, it is claimed that on December 9, India's National Bureau of Investigation conducted multiple operations in Maharashtra and Karnataka, arresting 15 members of the IS group.
This move annoyed the United States. What does this have to do with the United States?
Because, IS is supported by the United States, and the reason why the Philippines and the Philippines have been crazy about stirring up trouble in the South China Sea recently is because the United States is pressing very hard behind them.
According to AFP, on the morning of December 3, at a university in Malawi in the southern Philippines, teachers and students were holding religious activities when suddenly, a bomb fell from the sky, killing 11 people and injuring 50 people.
Now, Marcos Marcos of the Philippines is under a lot of pressure, looking for trouble in the South China Sea, which can not only show loyalty to the United States, but also transfer domestic contradictions.
It is not once or twice that the United States manipulated IS to disrupt the Philippines behind the scenes, as early as when the former Duterte of the Philippines was in office, because of the pro-China policy that annoyed the United States, it was the United States that single-handedly planned to raise IS in the Philippines.
In May 2017, on the occasion of Duterte's visit to Russia, IS even directly occupied a province in the Mindanao region, and Duterte rushed back to his country to quell the rebellion. Later, considering the Sino-Philippine relations at that time, we contributed money and ** to help the Philippines recover the lost territory.
The December 3 terrorist attack on IS is also linked to the political situation in the Philippines. Because Duterte announced that he would run for Philippine vice-president, the United States understands too well that Duterte's election will affect U.S. interests in Southeast Asia and the South China Sea. Therefore, strongly intervene in Philippine politics and force Marcos Jr. to side with himself.
Recently, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Houthi Red Sea attack in Yemen, and the escalation of the situation in Venezuela in South America, this set of international events has indeed made the United States a bit big, and it urgently needs new contradictions to divert the world's attention, and it must make a big news. That's why the Philippines is frantically provoking sovereignty in the South China Sea.
Once something happens in the South China Sea, it will be a big deal, and isn't that what the United States wants, "consolidating the Asia-Pacific rebalance strategy"?
This includes, of course, the instigation of India.
Is India an ally of the United States?Yes and no. The United States needs allies such as Fumio Kishida of Japan, Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea, or Marcos Jr. of the Philippines. India, which has been determined to be an "ambitious power" since the beginning of its independence, is obviously unwilling to accept the comprehensive suppression of the United States.
Is the United States an ally of India?Yes and no. Many of India's recent practices by Modi are extremely unpleasant in the eyes of the United States, mainly for three reasons.
First of all, India has been biased in favor of Russia during the Russian-Ukrainian war, and at the critical moment when the United States and NATO are fully sanctioning Russian oil and gas exports, the United States suddenly discovered that India is going all out to import ......
According to data from India's state-owned bank Bank of Vadodara in May this year, before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia only accounted for 2% of the year's imports, and the proportion has increased by nearly 20% a year after the outbreak of the war.
Secondly, after the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Indian people supported Israel on the Internet in line with the principle that Muslims are enemies, but Modi**'s attitude was neither salty nor light, that is, he did not express his position, and voting was abstaining. Since the founding of the country, India's attitude towards Israel has been one of opposition.
In November 1947, the United Nations voted on Resolution 181 (the establishment of the State of Israel), and India, voted against. On May 14, 1948, Israel proclaimed the statehood of India, which refused to recognize. On May 11, 1949, the United Nations General Assembly voted on the membership of Israel, and India, voted against.
Since then, India's successive ** have been wavering in their attitude towards Israel, one will support it, and the other will oppose it. To put it bluntly, it is to do whatever is beneficial to India.
It has to be said that India's diplomatic style is quite pragmatic. In fact, this also reflects India's ambition and unwillingness to be a second-rate country.
Third, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew a high-profile Shining fighter plane into the sky to show off his muscles to surrounding countries, and also to show the United States.
Modi recently announced his support for Putin's re-election in Russia 2024. The current fiery fighting between Russia and India is something that the United States is extremely unwilling to see.
The United States has a comprehensive crushing of India's military power, and it also has a motive militarily, but India is also a nuclear country, and it has a motive, but it would be stupid if it was implemented. India is like a pool of water, no matter how strange the outside world is, it is always fixed there.
As far as the United States is concerned, warning India at the lowest cost, allowing IS to engage in sabotage in India, and increase domestic pressure on Modi, the cost is small and hidden, and at the same time, it can shirk responsibility.
At the same time, India has an inertia, once the domestic contradictions are big, they will provoke us to divert the contradictions. For the United States, the snipe and the clam are competing and the fisherman is profitable, so why not do it?
Therefore, the United States has a very good motive to send a large number of IS to attack India. However, India was very clever this time, and the National Bureau of Investigation quickly detected the intelligence of a possible US attack and directly arrested 15 IS members to thwart the US conspiracy.
