In the news:

“The nuclear deal would give American companies exclusive rights to sell nuclear power plants at specified locations in India — an opportunity that could be worth $10 billion for U.S. sellers. A second deal, which officials said they hoped would also be ready for signing Monday, is known as an end-use monitoring agreement that would give the U.S. the right to ensure that U.S. arms sold to India are used for their intended purpose and that the technology is not resold or otherwise provided to third countries.”

My Comment:

I haven’t been following the Indian press, so I hesitate to write about this, but this is all bad news to my ears. Any deal with the US – with its premise of increased cooperation between the two countries in the so-called War on Terror – is a mixed bag at best. And when the deal comes with carrots (more nukes from the US) and sticks (caps on carbon emissions as part of the new climate control agenda, pushed by those environmental philanthropists, Goldman Sachs) that are equally repulsive and globalist in intent, and is accompanied by a nicely-timed and comprehensive confession (?) from the lone Mumbai gunman to survive the attacks on Jewish and Indian targets in Mumbai last year – I have to wonder. How neat.

India is giving up its autonomy. For what?

The country that side-stepped Goldman’s financial nukes and stopped them blowing up her banks is now going to let the real thing in?

India is NOT a super-power. It’s a potential power — with vast social and economic problems that no amount of technological advancement can completely hide.

A nuclear buildup in India will be a huge drain on its economy – nuclear power is simply too expensive for a developing nation.

Even worse, it will be a surrender of Indian autonomy. US intrusiveness toward even its so-called allies is well-documented.

And a free hand for the US prosecution of the WoT in Pakistan means increased instability on the Indo- Pak border. That will spill over into further attacks on Indian soil.

Which will exacerbate the violence.

Which will entail more government control.

I see nothing good coming from this…
