US-India-Russia plan of Real Donald Trump

A US-India-Russia partnership would make a war impossible for adversary powers.

- M.D. NALAPAT

Although not stated so starkly, the strategic centrepoint of what may be termed the Real Donald Trump was to be the building of a strong US-India-Russia partnership.

Somewhere along the way during the very first year of his second term as President of the United States, Trump appears to have lost the inner compass that had guided him so well during his 2024 candidacy and the initial months in his second term as US President. As a consequence, what may be termed the new avatar of President Trump has witnessed a bewildering array of U-turns that in substance are the opposite of the intentions expressed by Donald Trump during his magnificently courageous campaign to be the 47th US President since the founding of the country and giving it a Constitution by George Washington and his associates in 1787. Brushing off the calumny spread about him that the business tycoon was a “Russian agent”, Candidate Trump spoke of Russia and the US becoming partners, not foes, for the first time since the 1939-45 Great War between the Allies and the Axis. In that war, the USSR played the keystone role in defeating the once invincible Wehrmacht, the Nazi Germany army. The Wehrmacht got to the gates of Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad but were rebuffed at a great cost in Soviet lives. After Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, commenced on 22 June 1941, initially the Soviet forces were routed and either killed on the battlefield or later as Prisoners of War in their millions.
