By Sanjeev Oak<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s claim of a China\u2013Russia\u2013North Korea \u201cconspiracy\u201d is less revelation, more projection. By reviving Cold War tropes, Washington exposes its insecurity. For India, the lesson is clear: resist pressure, guard autonomy, and refuse a role in America\u2019s theatre.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s latest tirade\u2014that China, Russia, and North Korea are conspiring against the United States\u2014reveals less about Beijing\u2019s supposed plots and more about Washington\u2019s insecurity. When a superpower starts seeing shadows, it is no longer projecting strength.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s paranoia is not strategy\u2014it is the vocabulary of decline.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The American Habit of Demonising Rivals<\/h3>\n

For decades, the US has turned competitors into villains: first the Soviet Union, then Japan, later China, now an entire axis of \u2018authoritarian\u2019 states. Each time, the purpose is the same\u2014justify tariffs, build military coalitions, and arm-twist allies into alignment.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cConspiracy is Washington\u2019s cover story for its waning grip on the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump\u2019s revival of this Cold War trope is not about security. It is about distracting from America\u2019s fractured domestic politics and its failing ability to dictate global trade rules.<\/p>\n

\n

China\u2019s Rebuttal\u2014and the Real Contest<\/h3>\n

Beijing, of course, denied Trump\u2019s charges. But whether China coordinates with Moscow or Pyongyang is almost beside the point. What matters is that Washington\u2019s obsession with constructing \u2018enemy triangles\u2019 blinds it to a multipolar reality where no single capital dictates terms.<\/p>\n

\n

The India Question<\/h3>\n

This narrative is not neutral for India. Every time Washington spins tales of conspiracies, it tightens the screws on its allies\u2014through tariffs, technology controls, or secondary sanctions. India has already been targeted, dressed up as \u201cpeace policy\u201d to push Ukraine war goals.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf America thinks tariffs can force India into submission, it misunderstands New Delhi\u2014and overestimates itself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

India\u2019s challenge is clear: refuse to play supporting actor in Trump\u2019s theatre. It must assert its strategic autonomy, keep channels open with Beijing despite friction, and never accept Washington\u2019s veto on trade or diplomacy.<\/p>\n

\n

A Mirror, Not a Master<\/h3>\n

What Trump calls a conspiracy is actually a mirror\u2014showing America its own loss of dominance. India should recognise the performance for what it is: a loud, paranoid attempt to drag the world back into Washington\u2019s script.<\/p>\n
