New Delhi: Donald Trump has appointed Mike Waltz as America’s new NSA i.e.
National Security Advisor. China will not be happy at all with Mike Waltz becoming NAS. At the same time, this decision of Donald Trump seems right for India. The reason for this is Mike Waltz’s stand regarding Pakistan and China. Yes, in the year 2021, Mike Waltz had said some such things, from which it would be understood that his becoming NSA will only benefit India and the tension between Pakistan and China will increase. In 2021, Mike Waltz had revealed his plan that how America can defeat its enemies with India’s friendship. He had said that China-Pakistan alliance is a security risk for India and America. He supported alliance with India for global strength. From his words it appears that he considers India to be an important partner of America. Actually, Mike Waltz wrote an article with Nikki Haley in 2021. In this he talked about giving priority to relations that strengthen America’s position in the world. He had written, ‘It should start with India. Now the time has come to form an alliance. He wrote, ‘Being a nuclear powered country, India has more than one million soldiers. The Navy is continuously getting stronger. The space program is also at the top level. There is a history of economic and military cooperation with America. In such a situation, India will be a strong ally. By alliance with India, both the countries will be able to maintain and expand their global strength. And together with Japan and Australia, it will enable the US to create a real defense force against potential terrorist threats in Afghanistan as well as counter China. What in the 2021 article? According to TOI report, Mike Waltz and Haley had also pointed towards India regarding the Farkhor Air Base in Tajikistan. He said that this is the only air base nearby to carry out anti-terrorist strikes in Afghanistan. He argues that the alliance could allow India to allow the US access to strategic bases to protect its interests in Afghanistan and the wider region. He wrote, ‘Now we have only one partner who can effectively keep an eye on Afghanistan. This is the only partner which can keep an eye on the southern part of China and that is India. He also wrote that the US-India alliance will give us an edge over China. How America benefits from friendship with India? He further wrote, ‘Like America, India also believes that China is a rapidly growing threat. China is not only trying to take advantage of our departure from Afghanistan, but it is also putting pressure on India on its own borders. This is against the interests of both America and India. He also warned that the growing nexus between China and Pakistan poses serious security threats to both India and the US. For India, the alliance with the US will be a strong shield against two-way conflict on its borders. At the same time, for the US, the alliance will help reduce the influence of Pakistan in Afghanistan – which is a state sponsor of terrorism and is now being strengthened by Chinese investments. If we want to stop anyone from becoming a terrorist superpower that attacks our country again, we need a new partner. There are times for terrorists. Mike Waltz becoming NSA is no less than a nightmare for Pakistan. The reason for this is that his anti-terrorism stance is considered very strict. He had been the head of counter terrorism during the tenure of former US Vice President Dick Cheney. Interestingly, at the time when Donald Trump wanted to pull out his troops from Afghanistan, Waltz had opposed withdrawing the troops without strict conditions. These conditions also included obtaining a certificate from the Director of National Intelligence that the Taliban would not join al-Qaeda. During Waltz’s tenure, America will try to woo China by further strengthening its friendship with India.
