America's Diplomacy: Veering Towards a New Normal.

America's Diplomacy is trying to shift itself towards a new normal.

Words that are used for gaining edge over the others are far from diplomatic. 

Words indicative of hubris and intimidations are issued as political statements even during peace times.

We have known altercation as an anathema to diplomacy. 

 However altercation in open is more frequent and is being given a favour to be recognised as a way of talk on the diplomatic table. We have already seen America doing this while talking to Ukraine.

These days America is in great haste. It is now not only in the role of a self- assumed global leader but global arbitrator also with a patent ambition to be recognised as a harbinger of peace and hegemony together at the same time.

Their power borne hubris has tattered even the minimum diplomatic courtesy.            Diplomatic nuances stand substituted by clear cut ludicrous intimidatory language that even the spokesperson of the foreign secretariat will shun to use not to speak of the state heads.

American Diplomacy never knew before the language of bullying, arm-twisting, brickbatting so blatantly as is being used for now by no less a leader than a Head of the State. Brinkmanship has become the declared state policy; it appears.

But Mr.Trump remains indifferent and unconcerned to such nuances; he is interested in his own vision of MAGA(Make America Great Again). 

In reality, Trump is making India realise that MIGA and MAGA can't go hand in hand.

I don't know how America will become great by the way Mr. Trump has envisioned to make it so leaving all other aspects of diplomacy except tariff to fend for themselves.

Trump by nature is blatantly uncaring to the voice of others and prefers to be so as a matter of choice to pursue his objectives so that others yield. 

             Tariff is now being used as an ammunition of trade warfare; a tool of arm-twisting to fall in line with the terms decided unilaterally.

But this pressure tactics will not bear the result that America unduly expects from India. 

India knows how to counter this tactics.  Giving response in terms of studied silence is the best option for now.

We must remember how परशुराम went on intimidating राम who gave no reply but made the former realize his folly.

The nation knows that India's decision will be in the interest of Indians only.

This clamours will soon fade away. 

The more Mr. Trump intimidates the comity of nations more will he lose respect as a world class leader that America is credited to have an array since the distant past.

It's reminded राम didn't speak a single word in reaction against परशुराम and we all know what followed.

                               *****

The time is coming when Asia will lead the other continents. The Asian must realize its glorious past that attracted the people from all other parts of the world to exploit its resources.

            For this;  Asian unity is the pre-condition. The rest of the contents will try their best not let this unity become a reality.
