Unlikely cold warriors, Canada and India.

 JUSTIN TRUDEAU EARNS ANOTHER F FOR DIPLOMACY

IS TRUDEAU JUST ANOTHER LAPDOG FOR WASHINGTON?

So, the diplomatic fire fight escalates between Canada and India. It seems this started when India's PM Narendra Modi complained to Trudeau about Canada's support for Khalistan separatists. This happened at the G20 meeting in India. Trudeau then had problems with his accomodations and was also stranded in India for a few day due to plane trouble. It is the second time that Trudeau has been dressed down by a leader of a very big Asian country. The first was few years ago when the Chinese leader XI publicly embarrassed Trudeau for sharing with the media the contents of a private conversation. Whether Trudeau is just dumb or needed to share that he actually had a conversation with someone is not known.

The whole thing blew up when as soon a Trudeau got home he made a speech and accused India of assassinating a Khalistan separatist leader in British Columbia earlier in the year. Trudeau offered no evidence except he stated that intelligence had concluded that the Indian government was involved. Sounds so familiar, some now wonder if this prompting came from intelligence from Canada's southern neighbor.

In retaliation, India has demanded much of Canada's embassy staff leave the country and has now stated they will be limiting Visa's for Canadian citizens, many of whom are of Indian descent.

The whole thing is out of character for both Canada and India, except that it seems there is a lot of suspicion that Washington may be using Canada to increase division and unrest in India. Earlier in the year it is alleged that Washington has been attempting to sow division between Modi and Indians Muslim population, now with the Khalistan separatists. Much of this has to do with India wanting to be a neutral player in the present geopolitical conflict. There is pressure being exerted on India to support Ukraine and also to forgo trade with Russia. 

It seems now it has become the norm for any attempts at division or chaos to immediately be blamed on Washington. It may take a long time for the United States to redeem its reputation, if even possible, with the rest of the world.
