For months, Moscow had been accumulating billions in Indian Rupees from oil sales that it couldn't spend. Then, on August 12, 2025, the RBI issued a quiet but revolutionary circular. It authorized foreign holders of "Special Rupee Vostro Accounts" (SRVAs) to invest their surplus balances into Indian Government Securities and Treasury Bills. In a move that alarmed U.S. strategists even more, India and the UAE two key American partners began operationalizing a Local Currency Settlement system. The Indian Oil Corporation paid for a million barrels of Abu Dhabi crude in rupees, proving the concept worked. Russia to recycle its oil revenue directly into Indian sovereign debt, New Delhi created a closed-loop financial system. Russian oil profits were no longer chasing U.S. Treasuries; they were funding Indian infrastructure. The reaction from Washington was swift. Within weeks, the U.S. imposed tariffs of up to 50 percent on select Indian goods a punitive strike that signaled the partnership was in jeopardy. RBI had permitted 123 correspondent banks from 30 countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, and Singapore to open 156 Special Rupee accounts. Data from November 2025 showed India importing 7.7 million tonnes of Russian oil in a single month, accounting for 35 percent of its total intake, largely settled outside the dollar system. The host of the 2026 BRICS Summit, New Delhi has moved beyond passive participation to active architecture. The Reserve Bank of India has formally proposed linking the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) of member nations a project dubbed the "BRICS Bridge." Building on the 2025 Rio de Janeiro declaration, India is pushing for a proprietary, interoperable payment rail that would allow Russia, China, India, and new members like the UAE to settle trade instantly in digital local currencies, completely bypassing the U.S. banking system. RBI actively pilot-testing the e-Rupee’s cross-border capabilities, India is effectively building a "digital SWIFT" immune to Western sanctions. For the Trump administration, this was the final provocation. It wasn't just evasion; it was replacement. Washington views India’s 2026 agenda not as economic modernization, but as a "monetary mutiny." (Specially with India dumping US Treasuries upto 50.07 billion $ in one year and accumulate Gold & Silver)

Trump is just the trigger. There are deep historical forces: The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries. People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry. They should be angry at Republicans. But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

« Si tu te sens Le Pen » Ces mots résonnent encore en moi comme une provocation. Il est souvent difficile de se sentir à la hauteur d'un héritage quand celui-ci n'est pas seulement civilisationnel, mais aussi familial. 👉 Disponible en précommande : linktr.ee/marionmarechal?utm…
