Was US President Joe Biden, who never seriously tried to end the war between Ukraine and Russia, serving the war industry of his country to secure his political base?

The question is being raised as diplomatic quarters in New Delhi and other peace-loving persons everywhere are trying to understand the logic of sharp U.S. criticism of the Modi-Putin meeting in Moscow earlier this month, especially in the context of the recent decision of the UAE to offer golden visas to a section of Ukrainians which indicated that the war has brought unprecedented prosperity to some people.

Obama's reaction published recently in the Washington Post finally exposed the blame game against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that his warm hug with Russian President Vladimir Putin adversely affected peace prospects. Another reason against Modi could be that he had reiterated India's plea for peace during his recent visit to Moscow. Perhaps, he upset the trillion-dollar American war industry as well as a section of politicians in the US, including the contemporary rulers of Ukraine.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the apprehension of the cessation of the Ukraine -Russia War might not only be adversely affecting the financial fortunes of giant American corporations manufacturing weapons and explosives, but also the interests of the political faces in the ruling Democratic Party serving the interest of these corporations. In this context, it was natural for the top functionaries of the Biden Administration to criticize Indian efforts for peace.

 

Article at a Glance
The recent decision of the UAE to offer golden visas to a select group of Ukrainians has shed light on the financial gains being reaped by certain individuals amidst the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his family have been accused of corruption, with allegations of owning properties in the US, UK, Italy, and France. While these allegations have been debunked by some news outlets, the Pandora papers have revealed details of Zelenskyy supporters siphoning off large sums of money to Dubai.
The golden visa offer has also exposed the supporters of the war's continuation, who are benefiting financially from the conflict. The UAE's decision has sparked concerns that the war is being prolonged for the financial gain of a select few, rather than being brought to a swift end. This has led to criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the situation, with some accusing the US of prioritizing the interests of its war industry over the pursuit of peace.
The situation has also highlighted the role of corruption in Ukraine, with the country ranking 104th out of 180 countries in terms of corruption. The allegations against Zelenskyy and his family have raised questions about the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government and its motivations for continuing the war.
 As the conflict continues to claim lives and cause devastation, it is essential to examine the financial interests at play and to prioritize a peaceful resolution. The golden visa offer has brought attention to the need for greater transparency and accountability in the handling of the war and its financial implications.

 

 There is no denying that since the flaring up of the conflict, the American war industry has been earning huge profits. The prices of their shares have increased manifold since February 2022, when the war broke out in Eastern Europe.

The criticism of the recent visit of Modi to Moscow could be traced to the undercurrent of the warmongers in the US cutting across political, military and corporate leaders as well as the ruling oligarchs in Ukraine enjoying unprecedented financial bonanza being reaped by sabotaging peace efforts, thus enabling them to reap the fruits of huge money being accrued to them from the ongoing Ukraine -Russia War.

Modi's visit is also being criticized by the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a comedian-turned-politician. Few take Zelenskiy's comments seriously in New Delhi or Washington, but the recent statement of the US Ambassador in New Delhi Eric Garcetti, cautioning India that she should not consider American support as taken for granted has amused the strategic affairs scholars in New Delhi. Few took it seriously and even refused to comment about his undiplomatic, if not rude, statement.

Apart from these statements, the comments of the White House officials against Modi's visit are also quite critical. However, these comments have now become irrelevant, as Biden's political future has come to an end.

 

It is being stated that during the visit of Modi to Russia, the 30-member NATO military alliance leaders were meeting in Washington to discuss huge military support to Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia. The media coverage of Modi hugging Russian President Vladimir Putin has irked the warmongers in Washington as for them Modi has legitimized the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
