The Probability of a 3rd World War and the role of USA in it
By Barada Das
Cuttack/Odisha, Mar 11: The 149th meeting of the Thinkers’ Club over the zoom Platform was held to discuss on the above topic. The meeting was presided by Shree Vibek Pattanaik, retired IAS and ex senior Bureaucrat. The panelists in the meeting were, Professor Surya Narayan Mishra, Dr Malay Mishra, former Ambassador to Iran, Prof Satya Narayan Mishra and Major General Atanu Pattanaik. The meeting was moderated by Sree Barada Prasanna Das, the President of the Thinkers’ Club.
The dignitaries present elaborately discussed on the present crisis the world is going to face. They were of the opinion that, the role of USA President Donald Trump is not an acceptable behavior. He is detecting terms to the entire world, which is ridiculous to a major extent. His major concern is the dwindling position of Dollar.
The world has accepted substituted means for exchange of values. The present rise in the abnormal price of Gold is due to demand of Gold for the purpose of exchange in lieu of Dollar. The Petro Dollar concept is greatly affected by the present situation. The oil exporting countries are accepting payments other than Dollar. Which is a blow to the Dollar monopoly. India is buying crude paying in rupee. Whatever Trump says about the desirability of the war is all bogus statements. His real intention is to control the movement of oil and restore Petro Dollar.
At present, India is in a critical position. Iran is connected to India in several ways, starting from culture to economics. In the past, it has shown solidarity with India in many instances. Recently the Indian Prime Minister visited Israel and extended hands of co-operation. Russia is a trusted friend of India from many years. It has acted as a friend in need during the reign of Indira Gandhi. The Naubahar episode is not forgotten by the country. China has extended much help to Iran. China is not a friend of India in real sense. China also helps Pakistan a deadly enemy of India. It is also not possible to displease Trump at this juncture. Several Indians are working in the USA and in the Gulf countries. The Government is concerned about their safety and livelihood. The Indians in the Gulf region, remit remarkable amount to the country, which helps India in enriching it’s Foreign exchange reserve.
What decision, the Prime Minister will take is a tough and critical issue. It is not possible to please everybody at this time. The situation seems to be the atmosphere as it was before the two great wars. The fear is aggravated, when the Prophesies of the all time great astrologers like Baba Benga and Nusterdama are quoted. It is reasonably estimated that things will be clear in the next 15 days. Already, some weakness is visible in the behavior of Trump. At present, nothing can be predicted. The situation is to watch and wait.
Technical arrangements were jointly cared by Mr Jyoti Malla and Bibhudutta Mohanty.
