Introduction

The video introduces Mark Rutte, the NATO Chief, and discusses the organization's origins, created by the US to counter Soviet Russia. With the Soviet Union's collapse, NATO's purpose is questioned, yet it persists as a tool for American dominance. Rutte's recent threats to India, Brazil, and China, warning of tariffs for trading with Russia, mark the first time NATO has threatened non-member countries.

NATO's Threat to the Global South

The speaker highlights the significance of NATO's threats to India, China, and Brazil, countries within the Global South. This action is viewed as developed nations collectively threatening the Global South, which should not be tolerated. The NATO chief's warning of secondary sanctions if these countries don't force Russia to surrender raises concerns about India's response, especially after Trump's previous interventions.

NATO's Origins and Purpose

Following World War II, the world divided into capitalist (led by the USA) and communist (led by Soviet Russia) factions. America formed NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) to unite countries against Soviet Russia. After the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, NATO's original purpose ended, but America continued using it to increase its global dominance. Article 5 of NATO states that an attack on any member is an attack on all, ensuring mutual political and military support.

Ukraine and NATO

Ukraine's desire to join NATO stemmed from fears of Russian aggression, seeking protection under Article 5. Putin preempted this by taking action against Ukraine before it could join NATO, preventing its membership. Despite not being a NATO member, Ukraine is suffering the consequences, with NATO countries secretly providing assistance.

Trump's Influence on NATO

Trump pressured NATO members to contribute 5% of their GDP to NATO funds, threatening to withdraw US security guarantees if they didn't comply. By securing these funds, the US, under Trump, aimed to use NATO for its own strategic purposes, potentially involving it in conflicts. The speaker questions whether NATO will impose sanctions on India and China or if Rutte is merely echoing Trump's sentiments.

Mark Rutte's Relationship with Trump

Mark Rutte, formerly the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, had a past encounter with Trump in 2018 where he was perceived as blunt. After becoming NATO chief, Rutte adopted a more flattering tone towards Trump, even referring to him as "daddy" to gain favor and avoid potential repercussions. Trump is using Rutte to indirectly pressure Putin, leveraging India's strengthened relations with Russia.

BRICS and American Influence

Trump has expressed concerns that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are developing anti-American sentiments. He has threatened Brazil, China, and India within BRICS, aiming to undermine support for Russia. The US is actively trying to trouble these nations, which are emerging as leaders of the Global South, challenging the established world order.

India's Oil Trade with Russia

India's oil purchases from Russia have benefited both itself and the world by helping control global oil prices. By importing cheaper oil, India has mitigated the impact of increased demand on the market. Despite this, the G7 countries have imposed a price cap on Russian oil, but the US and European Union have indirectly benefited from India's refined Russian oil purchases.

Secondary Sanctions and Double Standards

The US is imposing secondary sanctions, threatening countries that continue to trade with Russia. The NATO chief has echoed this, warning of up to 100% sanctions on India, China, and Brazil. The speaker points out the hypocrisy, as the European Union remains a top buyer of Russian LNG, and the US still purchases enriched uranium from Russia.

China's Response and India's Stance

China has responded to the NATO chief's statement by calling it unnecessary and emphasizing dialogue and negotiation as the solution to the Ukraine crisis. China's past actions, such as halting the export of rare earth magnets, have demonstrated its ability to bring America to its knees. The speaker urges India to openly oppose such statements to protect its national honor and self-respect.

Conclusion

The video concludes by encouraging viewers to share their opinions on the topic. It also promotes courses on History, Geography, Polity, Economy from NCERT.

0:00 Because now Soviet Russia no longer exists, the NATO chief has no work to do because this is the first time that NATO countries have threatened non NATO members. If we do not support it, NATO may be disgraced. There are 32 countries in the world who are secretly helping Ukraine at their own levels. So the NATO Chief has currently said that we will impose up to 100% sanctions on India, China, Brazil that if they do trade with Russia then up to 500% tariff should be imposed on them. Does Europe have enough strength left to face India, China and Russia combined? The European Union remains Russia's top buyer today. In such a situation, this statement of Mark Root is mere deception. As soon as Trump came, he told the NATO countries that if you stop giving money to it, then I am not going to stay in NATO for your convenience. So in a way, by funding NATO, America now

0:46 wants to take it into the war. That the NATO chief referred to Trump as a daddy. Trump is trying to create pressure on Putin. Trump's statement from day one was that these BRICS countries are developing anti-America sentiments. G7 countries put a cap on oil. Russia gave us oil at a cheaper rate than that and the US as well as the European Union benefitted from this cheap oil. Hello friends, welcome all of you to Ankit Inspires India. I am Ankit Awasthi. The person you see in the picture here. His name is Mark Root. You are the NATO Chief North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A group that was nurtured and raised by America so that it could use it against Soviet Russia. Because now that Soviet Russia is no more, the NATO Chief has no work and in such a situation, the NATO Chief has recently threatened India,

1:32 Brazil and China by saying that if you people continue to trade with Russia then you may have to pay tariff up to 100%. You may have to endure 100% sensations. Friends, this is big news and you can guess how big it is from the fact that this is the first time that NATO countries have threatened non NATO members. This is big news. Why is it big? Because India falls in the Global South. Our real fight is between North versus South. NATO or the developed nations have a pride in considering themselves developed and because of that pride they have jointly threatened the Global South.

2:17 This in itself should not be tolerated in any way. The head of NATO is threatening a country like India by saying that if you do not force Russia to surrender, then secondary sanctions will be imposed on you. This person is the same one you saw sharing a seat with Trump two days ago. In such a situation, India first heard Trump saying that he stopped the war only by negotiating trade between India and Pakistan. So will India now listen to the NATO chief as well after Trump? Will China also join India and give a reply to America? The way America recently did it with Ukraine,

3:04 yes, for you we have turned our country upside down, I can say that the way America took over almost half of Ukraine. Now how effective will these methods of pressurizing Russia to protect Ukraine be and the most important thing is that after America, India will now listen to the NATO chief as well. This is a big question friends. Today, this topic will be discussed in detail and you will have to understand this discussion in a complete sequential manner that ultimately it has been for this man. The man who, because of his stubbornness, sold his country to become a member of NATO. The man who surrendered to America. Today the people of the world are trying to unite for that man because if we do not support him then

3:51 NATO may get disgraced. Friends, do you also want to know how the stock market works ? How to take a trade? Is a demat account necessary to purchase shares from Bombay Stock Exchange or National Stock Exchange in the stock market ? Can I trade using a Demat account? What are these futures and options? How do people become millionaires overnight and how do some people become bird-patis due to lack of knowledge? Because those people who enter into the stock market without any knowledge or financial literacy, they become the headlines that they have lost so much money in the market. But some people make good profits by becoming active traders. My purpose in sharing this course with you is simply to ensure that your ignorance does not make you a debtor. It should

4:37 not lead you into loss. So if you want to be financially literate, understand how after all financial options work ? What are futures and options ? What is a delivery trade? How are shares purchased? How is it sold? How do candles work? How do market people find out whether this trade will go up or the market will come down today. How do fundamentals work? What are the fundamentals of stocks? To understand Fundamentals of Stock Market, you can join our course whose link is available in the application. The link to the application is available in the comments. Baatein Bazaar application. Let's move on. Friends, the head of NATO is telling India, China and Brazil that 100% tariffs will be imposed on you. This news becomes big news,

5:25 basically serious 50 India China Brazes get serious about India's position,

6:12 you will remember this is the same leader who was seen sitting on a chair with Trump two days ago, at that time Trump had said this in front of him. What was said that we are preparing to give long range weapons to Ukraine. On the other hand, if America wants, it can give 50 days' time to Russia. On this issue we used the word 50 days ultimatum. Russia was told to either surrender within 50 days. Otherwise long range missiles will be given to Ukraine. And for the long range missile, I had mentioned in yesterday's session that Russia has always maintained that if any country gives long range missile to Ukraine against us, then I will also accept its participation in the war, that it has also joined the war and as soon as this

6:57 happens, I can target that country too. In such a situation, pressure tactics are being adopted in the 50-day ultimatum that Trump has given to Russia. And those pressure tactics included this guy telling India, Brazil and China together that you should stop trading with Russia. In a way, they have also given us 50 days' time. By the way, what is NATO? Know a little about it. So that you will understand the real reason behind this conflict. Friends, when the Second World War ended, the world was divided into two factions. After the Second World War the winners included both Soviet Russia and USA but USA was leading considering itself the guru or leader of the capitalists. At the same time, Soviet Russia was moving ahead with the mindset

7:43 that brother, I will move ahead as the promoter of communism. Both had different ideologies but both were included in the winning factions. The battle between these two ideologies gave America the task of uniting the countries of the world to strengthen its position. Due to this, America formed a group named North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which today has 32 countries. It was actually created to be used against Soviet Russia. In 1991 Soviet Russia collapses. 15 new countries are formed. One of those countries happens to be Russia. So Russia emerged from the Soviet Union. After 1991, when the Soviet Union did not survive, as per the rules, NATO should not have existed. The real purpose of NATO was over. But America's aim to establish NATO was to increase its hegemony i.e. its dominance in the world. Friends, there is an article of this

8:30 which is known as Article 5, the objective of which is that if any NATO country faces any crisis in the world, then all these 32 countries will come together and attack it. These are the 32 countries that live together. They have political and military support and the purpose of this support is that if any harm comes to any country, we will attack it. So Finland is their most updated, second updated and Sweden is the latest updated member country. Ukraine wanted to be included in these countries. Ukraine was afraid that one day Russia would swallow it up. In such a situation, Ukraine expressed its desire to be included in NATO. Because according to NATO's Article 5, if Ukraine is attacked, then these 32 countries will consider it an attack on them and will attack

9:16 Russia all at once. Putin caught Ukraine before it could join, saying, "Son, before you enter, I will take action against you." That means, in a way, Russia did not allow Ukraine to go to NATO. He beat me up just at the mention of leaving. In such a situation, Ukraine got trapped even though it was not joining NATO. Now, on one hand, he is suffering the pain of going with NATO countries. In such a situation, how can they save it, so NATO is trying to threaten it and while threatening, those 32 countries along with the world are secretly helping Ukraine at their own level. No one helps openly but this help is being sent from our side in the name of military assistance. NATO, which is stuck between these two, was actually going through another conflict

10:03 these days, and what was that? As soon as Trump arrived, he told the NATO countries that you guys are completely dependent on me because in reality, NATO was formed on the wishes of America. But in the beginning America brought these countries together saying, don't worry, everyone will fight together. But that same America under the leadership of Trump threatened the NATO countries saying that if you stop giving money to it, then I am not going to stay in NATO for your convenience. I want to protect myself. Trump had said in the initial days itself that if every country does not contribute 5% of its GDP to NATO funds, then I will not take responsibility for your security. In a way, by bargaining, Trump collected funds from NATO countries. Now the funds have been

10:49 collected. Now what to do with that money? To earn money it is necessary to keep fighting. So in a way, by funding NATO, America now wants to take it into the war. Has Article Five been used till date ? has come. It was America that used the entire funds of NATO forces or rather their support when it had to go against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. In such a situation, the question today is that NATO, which was directionless at this time, was struggling for identity because it was threatened by America. Now under the leadership of Mark Rutte, we are hearing that if anyone does business with Russia they will have to face sanctions. Will NATO impose sanctions? It is very important to know whether NATO countries will impose sanctions on India or China or whether this person is speaking the words of someone else. My dear friends, you will remember that Ukraine has

11:35 already been with NATO. Has attempted to become an ally of NATO. Whoever is the NATO chief, he has been the top head of one or the other of these countries. For example, the current Mark Rutte was once the Prime Minister of Netherlands. He was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Before him, James Stalberg was the Prime Minister of Norway. These people, like Stollenberg earlier, were considered very close to Biden because Biden had also given them the highest civilian honor on his behalf. Now this Mark Root had visited America once in 2018 during Trump's tenure. Mark Rutte was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands at that time. The Netherlands is known as the Dutch. known as Holland. Here, this man from Netherlands, that is, Mark Rutte, had said something in front of Trump. About whom the media said that he

12:20 is a very blunt man. By speaking in front of Trump, he has in a way insulted his reputation. But now since he has become NATO chief, he has understood that Trump can take revenge of past events from me. That is why when Mark Rutte was made NATO chief as soon as Trump became President, he started talking sweetly to him. You may remember that the NATO chief referred to Trump as a daddy. I said that you are the father of NATO. How will NATO function in your absence ? If you are there then NATO is there and you should come to the NATO meeting because everybody is waiting for you and have accepted your point about 5%. This is the person who is adding spice to the moment, so to speak. Whose? Trump is trying to convince him

13:07 that he should agree. Who knows your anger may render us unemployed. Who will protect us? That is why this person is on a tour to America these days and when he was talking to Trump there, Trump made him say this line because a few days ago Trump had made one of his MPs and also the Senator say this line. Now this thing was told through Mark Root. In a way, Trump is indirectly trying to create pressure on Putin. Because in the Russia Ukraine war India has strengthened its relations with Putin a lot. Or should we say, our relations with Russia have become stronger. And in strengthening, we have exploited the oil to a great extent. Oil has been purchased from Russia. If today the trade between India and Russia is worth 60-65 billion dollars, then 90% of that trade is in purchasing goods from Russia.

13:54 Our import bills have increased. Similarly, if we talk about China, it does trade worth around $250 billion with Russia in which oil purchase comes on top. As for Brazil, it is crushed like a weevil in a gram. Because recently I told you that Brazil and Trump are not getting along. Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil, is against Trump. So Mark Rutte also involved Brazil because you were against Trump. Therefore, we can put you also under sanction. If you don't break ties with Russia. What kind of relations? Brazil's trade with Russia is only around 13-14 billion dollars. In such a situation, Brazil was still threatened that if it did not break off relations, in fact, Trump had said from day one that these BRICS countries, Brazil, Russia, India,

14:39 China and South Africa, were developing anti-America sentiments. So within BRICS, Brazil was threatened, China was threatened. India was threatened. Who to give it to? To support Russia. Who is left? South Africa. He threatened Ramaphusa of South Africa by making him sit on the table and he even told Musk that son, you are going to South Africa because you came from there. In a way, America is troubling these BRICS countries very badly or rather, the BRICS countries are troubling America very badly. Because they are gradually becoming leaders of the Global South. They are becoming leaders of those countries which were once marginalized by someone. Now these countries are gradually growing bigger and are challenging the leadership of these people. If you want you can invest in mutual funds as being an active trader requires you to have the time. In such a situation you are

15:25 short of time. You have a job but you want my money to work for me. Even when you are free, your money can be growing your savings by becoming a part of some equity or a day. So in such a situation, our course is important for you people as it develops your understanding on mutual funds. Which Mutual Funds will be suitable for you ? If you are about to go on pension or to take money for children's education, preparing for your marriage or want to fulfil your further dream, how can mutual funds help you ? What type of mutual funds would be best ? I have planned a detailed course on this. You can go and join him. And both courses Fundamentals of Stock Market and Fundamentals of Mutual Funds. If you purchase both of them together

16:10 , they are available to you at very affordable rates. Talk on market applications. The link is pinned in the comment box. Go now. India bought oil from Russia. This is true. But by buying oil from Russia, India did good not only to itself but also to the world. This is the second truth. Why am I saying this ? Because the conflict has been going on in war time since February 2022. On several platforms in India, through the Foreign Minister of India, I mean all the people with dignities in India, they all said that we are not buying oil only for ourselves. A country like ours imports 85% of its oil from 40 countries of the world. We import oil from different countries. By importing cheap oil, we have contributed to controlling prices when demand increases due to demand and supply in the world and the price

16:57 rises. If we were dependent on Gulf countries or other 40 countries, our increased demand would have increased oil prices in the market. You people are not able to handle the rising oil prices. We have settled the price after purchasing from Russia. But these people are not ready to listen to this. Well anyway, whatever oil India bought, the money went to Russia. that true. And Biden had also said to Modi at that time, brother, find a solution as to how will you people continue purchasing oil ? Where will you stop? In such a situation, it is said that the G7 countries have put a cap on oil and said that they will not buy oil worth more than $50 per barrel. Russia gave us oil at a cheaper rate than that and the US as well as the European Union benefitted from this cheap oil. We took oil from them. We

17:44 refined it. It was refined at our Reliance's Jamnagar refinery. After that European Union countries have bought the same Russian oil from us. Even America has bought oil from us. But what America wants now is to somehow create pressure on Putin and for that it has imposed secondary sanctions. Secondary sanctions mean that if you guys do not stop buying oil, then we will not only impose sanctions on Russia, we will definitely impose sanctions on it, but if you guys are doing trade with it, then we will impose sanctions on you as well; the NATO chief has said the same thing right now that we will impose sanctions up to 100% on India, China, Brazil, this is a big question, friends, today this person spoke only the words spoken by Trump, this is the same Trump who, a few days ago, two weeks ago, we had discussed with one of his MPs,

18:31 her name was Lindsay Gramman. Trump had called through him and this person came and said on camera that I had gone to play golf, so Trump said, yes, yes, tell this that if they do business with Russia, then a tariff of up to 500% should be imposed on them. Dude, this is terrible, it is being used as a weapon. After all, how long will India endure? How long will the world endure this? How long will we continue to be humiliated in the name of tariff ? Till now America has said 20-25 times that it stopped the war between India and Pakistan in the name of tariff. Stopped it in the name of trade. Now this person came out again after this, now as soon as Mark Rutte came and went, he was told to say this thing, earlier a threat of 500% tariff was given, now a threat of 100% tariff has been given, tariff tariff tariff tariff America is continuously using tariff as a weapon, when they had threatened this person

19:17 earlier that we will impose tariff on you, he turned back, Lula ji, you will remember, he is the President of Brazil, he had told Trump that if you think that you can do something with any sovereign country, then clear this misunderstanding, now Bhai Saheb, he has also been threatened again that we will do wrong to you. So what Mark Root is saying is in no way correct according to the world order. Why not? Because after two days you will no longer be the NATO chief, brother. Someday or another you have to go. You will return back to your country. With what capacity will you show your face to the world? Today to please Trump whom you called daddy. This person has called me daddy in the literal sense. Brother, today you crossed all limits to please the person whom you call daddy. But does Europe have enough strength left to face India, China and Russia combined? If these three countries come together, is there enough capacity left in Europe to

20:04 save a leader like you and take him forward? He should have thought about this and that is why his statement is now being condemned. People are picking him up and asking, Root what have you done? The kind of question points you mentioned, you should have avoided them. You shouldn't have said Trump's words. To keep his job, he had to please Trump. The old sins of 2018 had to be erased. For this, there was no need to enter into the TRP game. You don't know that you have left Europe in trouble. If in the future, because of you, these people take wrong action, these countries unite and disrupt the supply chain or close their markets, the situation in Europe will become worse. All these types of values come out. One tweet came out to be very good. It was clearly mentioned in this that the way NATO Chief treated India was not at all commendable. Apart from this, the

20:52 European Union itself is still importing 7% oil from Russia. Hungary and Slovakia which are already importing oil from it. Will they be sanctioned? Turkey, which imports large quantities of oil from Russia, is itself a NATO country. Will NATO countries be able to say anything against him? So, when in the name of being against Russia they do not say anything to their NATO members who are members of the European Union or its NATO allies, then with what pretext can they say anything to India. But overall these are pressure tactics. India understands this. India understands, that is why it says on many platforms that Europe often feels that their problem is the world's problem. This is wrong. India's Foreign Minister has also said it many times and the Petroleum Minister has also said it. The Petroleum Minister in his recent statement said that we do

21:37 not import oil from any one country. We import oil from 40 countries. And when we import oil from 40 countries, then it is wrong to say that we are doing good to ourselves by importing oil from Russia. We are doing good for the world. We are maintaining demand and supply in demand supply so that oil can be made available at cheaper rates to the world. And America itself has accepted this from us that yes, you keep buying oil so that the world will get lower prices. There is another argument, I gave you a few days ago. All they see is our oil trade with Russia. But let me give you some options. For example, Türkiye, which is a NATO country, comes on top in other oil products. Among those who still purchase goods from Russia. China tops the list in crude oil , China in coal and the European Union in LNG. The European Union, which is also a NATO member, comes out on top in pipeline gas. So, among other

22:24 products, we are present in only one niche and that is only oil. Apart from oil, other products include Turkey itself, which is a NATO member. The European Union remains Russia's top buyer of liquid nitrogen gas within LNG and liquified natural gas. I told you earlier also that the goods were purchased from China. that true. But there are many such products which America is still purchasing even today. I had told you two months ago, quoting a news from Moscow Times, that in the name of enriched uranium, America had chided Iran that you are making enriched uranium, that enriched uranium is still purchased by America itself from Russia. Brother Enriched Uranium Fuel Russian War Machine. And this thing ultimately shows their double character that you friend you yourself purchase

23:11 from Russia and are denying it to the whole world. In such a situation, this statement of Mark Root is mere deception. A kind of rhetoric that should have no place in the world order. The way he has given this statement. India should respond strongly to this. But the first reaction is expected from Putin as to what he is going to do. So since Putin has n't stopped the war yet, he has already given his own response that I don't trust you at all. You could have applied sanction earlier, you can apply it now, it doesn't make any difference to me. Although there has been no statement from India on this statement, there has been a reply from China and China has called this statement unnecessary and said that dialogues and negotiations are the only ways that can resolve the Ukraine crisis. If you people make a rule to impose one-sided sanctions in the world then

23:58 remember that no one will win this war. And China also proved this by doing it. The way China brought America to its knees by stopping the export of rare earth magnets. You might remember that some time back when Trump imposed tariffs of over 140%, China only stopped the export of rare earth magnets and immediately after stopping it, America surrendered and entered into a trade deal with China. This is the real truth of America. Well, for now it is necessary for India to speak openly on this issue; negotiation on the matter of tariff is in place. But for the sake of national honour and self-respect, it is necessary for India that any such statement should be strongly opposed at the best level, that is, not only through the Foreign Secretary but through the Foreign Minister through the

24:43 Prime Minister. What do the rest of you think? Please give your opinion on this topic in the comment box.
