.....When the Soviet Union fell apart, there was much talk from the US of a multi-polar world,...... In the wake of the collapse of the USSR, the US has been hell-bent on achieving global superiority.......unately for the Obama regime, it’s no longer the early 1990s when the US believed it reined supreme and Russia was in disarray and China still relatively weak. China has emerged as a genuine global player and Russia has a new-found confidence under Putin..Itstakes game because some within the Pentagon think it’s better to draw China into a military conflict now, when it can still be defeated, rather than laterWith this in mind, it is always revealing to see how the Indian media reacts when a high-ranking US politician visits its shores. The US is pressurising India to reduce its imports of Iranian oil and to open up it economy further to its powerful corporate players,‘globalisation’ project has led to maximal gains for a minority but minimal gains for the great mass of ordinary folk, while causing great turmoil as state-corporate players gain free rein to loot the country for their own gains.Unfortunately, ‘independence’ for India is almost becoming a euphemism for living in the pocket of the US.
