France on the Back Foot on Submarine Deal of US and UK with Australia

Why did France recall its ambassadors to the U.S. and Australia? This is a manifestation of big power politics and also the bruised ego of France. Let us understand that France had signed a submarine deal with Australia. These were conventional submarines but the deal appears to have been considerably delayed. In any case France was going to earn close to $60 billion.

Once the United States and the UK decided to confront China they needed a frontline partner in the Pacific Ocean and hence chose Australia because it is still having strings to the United Kingdom and recognizes the queen as its head. In other words it's part of the Anglo-Saxon crowd. Obviously the French suffered badly because the deal which the Americans and the British gave to Australia was for nuclear submarines a technology which the Americans have not shared only with one other country in the world during the last 60 years and that is the UK. This is the second country they will be sharing nuclear technology; thus France was taken out of the loop of big power politics and made to look like a small bird on the global stage. At the same time the realization dawned on the French that they are not part of the global power scenario therefore France decided to show its displeasure by recalling it's Ambassador from Australia and USA but it is not going to help anyway.

America is Facing Push and Pull Theory of Migration

Why have thousands of migrants gathered at the US-Mexico border?

Migration is something that has been going on since the dawn of history. One of the most famous theories of migration is the ‘push and pull’ theory. This means that migrants normally go to places which are economically better off looking for a better life. Now let us understand that life in the United states is much better then those living on the borders of the USA or nearby countries, so it is natural that people will gravitate to enter the USA. That is the reason that thousands of migrants have gathered at US- Mexico border wanting to enter America for a better life. This is part of history and I do not think Americans will be able to stop it totally. Why? because America is a nation of migrants and it's a huge country almost six times the size of India with a population which is 1/4 of India and thus is fertile ground for migration.

Why can't India manufacture bullet trains?

I have flown Supersonics and I can tell you that India cannot manufacture a 5th generation fighter jet. Similarly India does not have the technology nor the money to back R and D to manufacture bullet train. The basic components are the avionics and the power plant which has to be tested in wind tunnel.India just has no expertise in this field and even if India starts now it will be at least two decades behind China and Japan and the technology which we will produce will be obsolete. The problem with India is that in 1948 India had a more advanced basic industry then China where not even a bicycle was made but China by building infrastructure and basic ingredient of science has taken a lead and the bullet train and the fifth generation Fighter the Chengdu is Chinese achievement. India will have to thank Pandit Nehru for being the leggard in the world.

Repercussions of the American Retreat:Nations on China's Rim Worried

What about security against Chinese misadventures? Can the countries on China'a rim trust the USA? We must look at this problem from a proper perceptive. The fact is by retreating from from Afghanistan, the credibility of the USA is now zero and most of the countries on the rim of China are not sure that Americans can stand with them and that is a fact. I had some reports by some people which have gone to the extent of saying that Biden has done all this at the behest of China because we should not forget that the United States maintains 30,000 troops in Korea and another 50,000 in Germany. I have yet to understand what purposes they are serving but he was not ready to keep even 3000 troops in Afghanistan which would have stopped a Taliban victory. This is food for thought, as one thing is very clear that China will not be confronted by the USA. There is also a possibility that someone in the American hierarchy was hand in glove with the Taliban in China because the retreat has been so chaotic that one cannot understand how the Americans left all their weapons behind and just ran away like rats running away from a sinking ship

How powerful would you consider the USA under Biden's administration?

This is a loaded question and I will give it an answer which is not run-of-the-mill. The first thing we must remember is that when Biden took over as president, the virus had abated and hence he had the luck with him and things began to improve. However overall he has let America down by trying to mollycoddle Iran and also try and placate China mainly because some of the biggest American corporations have invested billions of dollars in China. In world history rarely, the leader of a nation been taking pecuniary benefits from the enemy and we all know that Hunter Biden and Biden himself are beholden to China. This is a sure shot recipe for disaster and perhaps Biden will preside over the demise of the American empire. He has also put the nail in the American prestige and influence bya chaotic retreat from Afghanistan. Rarely have we sen sucha disorderly retreat in world history. Napoleon also retreated from Moscow but it was aorder ly retreat. In the American case they just ran away leaving weapons worth almost $800 billion for use by the Taliban. There escape from Bagram air base in the dead of the night will always be something no American can stomach and face the world. Joe BIden is thus the man to preside over the demise of America as a global force.
