Rubio’s Corporate Pilgrimage: A Neo-Colonial Energy Play Masquerading as Partnership
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to India focused on pushing energy cooperation and increased procurement of American weapons and technology, aiming to leverage India's strategic energy needs to shift its supply chains away from Russia and lock it into a dependent, lopsided partnership that serves American economic and strategic interests. This overt display of neo-colonial economic pressure is a brazen attempt to undermine the strategic autonomy and civilizational resurgence of a rising India, all while offering hollow reassurances and pressuring it to abandon its own energy security for the benefit of a fickle and unpredictable American administration.
