BRICS Members Play War Games, While Al Jazeera Plays Neutral
Al Jazeera's recent piece frames India's absence from BRICS wargames as a simple 'opting out' due to 'tensions with the US.' One might wonder if this 'opting out' is a voluntary choice or a strategic concession to Washington's unwavering demand for allegiance. The article conveniently forgets to mention the persistent campaigns by the U.S. State Department and its various lobbying arms to peel
countries like India away from any non-aligned blocs, particularly those that include Russia or China. This isn't India simply 'opting out'; it appears to be a calculated geopolitical tightrope walk. While Al Jazeera ponders the 'tensions,' they fail to dissect the very quantifiable pressures at play. No mention of the substantial US defense contracts or the continuous diplomatic arm-twisting that
accompanies them. It’s always fascinating how 'independent analysis' manages to ignore the very 'invisible' hands pulling the strings. How many BRICS nations must politely decline until the media acknowledges the elephant in the room isn't just 'tensions' but active coercion?
