Under President Trump, 'Forever Wars' Are Lasting Forever
The Sunday Guardian
|September 07, 2025
Trump is showing symptoms of slipping into a world of alternate reality as distinct from the real world. He is acting as though US Government is a facsimile of the Trump Organisation.
Among the many promises made by Donald J. Trump when he was seeking to defeat Kamala Harris in the 2024 US Presidential polls was that he would end "forever wars". These were wars that have lasted for years and which during the campaign were ongoing and still are. In a Truth Social post on September 5, Trump spoke of India and Russia moving closer to "deepest darkest China". What he forgot to mention, or avoided mentioning, was his own role in Prime Minister Modi, President Putin and President Xi getting together in Tianjin, China.
In the case of Russia, President Trump has been the (and not backstage either) prime mover in the three (out of four) major powers being seen together in China. PM Modi made an implicit statement to President Trump through his personally attending the SCO Summit when it was held in China. This was that India would not allow itself to be bullied by Trump into making concessions that would severely impact ten and more million farmers and dairy producers. Trump is seeking to force PM Modi to make concessions that are not simply politically but ethically ruinous. When his own niece Mary Trump wrote about her uncle as being totally without empathy for other human beings, she was dismissed by many as simply being a disgruntled relative of Trump.
In hindsight, it is clear that Mary Trump was only speaking the truth. Had he a shred of concern about the lives of millions of farmers who he is seeking to plunge into starvation by the impossible demands he was making on India through US Trade Representative Peter Navarro, he would have desisted from such a course. Instead, he and some of his Administration appointees let loose a farrago of abuse against India, and even against PM Modi, the elected Prime Minister of the largest democracy in the world for three terms and counting.
