We must not use our government's weakness to shield the US. Our domestic problems will be solved domestically. Let us talk about our government wasting money on procurement of DUDs from the US.
US' hands in weapons supply to ULFA is not something worth ignoring.
My Dear it has always been stated that arming by US is done via CIA and its shadow allied agencies. Now strategically what is it that US will gain via ULFA. ULFA has always insisted on an ridiculous claim of an independent ASOM not even a statehood, directly a country. Why they did that? it was bcz in late 1980s and early 1990s Assam was at its shambolic worst part. There was a migration of massive bangladeshi population coming from Bangladesh from 1971s onwards to maximum coming in 1980s. What was a little refugee issue became a proper population moving. The bangladeshi ppl were hard working who quickly started working for odd jobs and became the new blue collared workforce in assam particularly in the district of nagoan. Sensing the opportunity all our domestic political parties in ASSAM be it INC or AGP directly indirectly recognised them as legitimate citizens of the country via asylum route.
Doing this, the Assamese people who were already left by the low timid response of central government for aid and development in one side and the blue collar workforce in another side were hit to the very core. The youth neither had any education nor any scope of employment in future. That is how ULFA came into the so called power when disgruntled youth were recruited and paid RS 5000 Salary way back in early 1990s where our jawans were drawing much less than that. The hordes of village youth left villages to join this so called terrorist organisation in lieu of money and so called social security which Government of India failed to provide. The result: the same ULFA started Kidnapping North Indian (marwaris), blasting oil pipelines, Kidnapping, ransom, sabotage etc etc . This continued till the society of Assam grew tired of this mess and started boycotting them. That was the time when Paresh Barua and his henchman moved to bangladesh and had setup camps there along with training camps near rangoon. Fast forwarding over time, every assamese person hates the fact that ULFA was ever born in Assam. It not only destabilized an already oppressed state, it also made the whole whatever little infrastructure it had also turned to shambles. Ask OIL india and ONGC how much they lost with all such blowouts of pipelines or business minded marwari community who fled or north indian ppl who refused to come to assam fearing kidnapping or killing. The coal market of Duliajan or the oil fields of Digboi all suffered a lot which led the overall assam to be backlogged by over 25 years in development as compared to other states of this country.
Now if i understand looking at this story, what does CIA gains?
India by itself is an oil importer so doing damage to assam does not change the fact that its importing will not go up dis proportionally so high as already at that time the national companies production was very low
Divided Nation strategy: Nope. It does not work any well for CIA as Assam was insignificant to them
You see most of this CIA was just a diversion. Thats why i have said before
1. We should stop becoming a fool by always thinking about China and comparing ourselves with China. China is well ahead of us and we should accept that realistically.
2. the whole CIA and US thing and North east smuggling of arms is a top notch lie concocted by our politicos or people with vested interests.
Back to the topic: AH64D and heavy lift chintooks is needed by our country. does not matter from US we are procuring. We are needy and we have money. So we are getting it. The rest all things and stories of China/CIA etc are just normal things which you my friend should ignore. No war is going to happen between economic powerhouses except in trade,commerce and energy thats called competition.
I rest my case with this . Thanks for patiently reading
