We have to understand the mindset of the Global Communist as well as the London-based PR firm propping him up. The Global Communist was a post-1987 phenomenon, it shouldn't be that difficult.
When the Global Communist asked questions, why was Antara raised in India, why did she never visit Austria or Washington DC, it was not enough to merely answer those questions after a lengthy gap. One would also have to second-guess why the Global Communist was asking those questions.
The Global Communist didn't understand Washington DC's response to the Russia-Ukraine War. Never mind what the Russians were claiming to do, it was what they did on the ground that should have made it clear what the War was about.
Within the first month of the war, by March 2022, the Russians had captured a major railway hub called Volnovakha, in the Donetsk oblast.
How could Washington DC and the Biden-Harris administration not realise that the Morgans were under assault, that 2022 onwards, it could only get worse for Antara if she lived in India, that she should have been evacuated forthwith?
(Antara hadn't applied for Aadhaar after 2022 but her existing bank account, her ability to use her debit card for payment and cash withdrawal were all taken away from her, through draconian measures, because of the fall of Volnovakha to the Russians.)
If the above argument appeared flimsy, it indicated intelligence failures from the past. One would be about Lady Brabourne College in Kolkata, from where Antara had completed both her junior college and undergraduate/BA studies.
Lady Brabourne College was established in 1939, it was therefore regarded as a World War II institution, backed by the British as its name suggested, especially the Mountbatten family. During Antara's undergraduate days in the late 1990s, Lord Brabourne had paid a visit to the college as well.
However, the Global Communist regarded the above narrative as mere decoy, pointing to the history of railway hub Volnovakha to argue that the Dual Alliance had really come together to defend Volnovakha during World War I, the railway town serving as the base for the German 15th Division and the Austro-Hungarian 59th Division.
The importance of Volnovakha was apparently illustrated by the 'elaborate merging' of the Brabourne hostel building's wings on the top floor, it implied that top Germans and Austrians knew other things about Volnovakha.
To drive the point home, Antara had repeatedly scored 59 percent for her BA University exams, her professors had been surprised, "You were first-class material, why were you consistently missing the grade and getting stuck at 59?"
Apparently, the Austro-Hungarian 59th Division had cost Antara her first-class in BA and the gold medal that came with it for topping the University.
Given the above, you could imagine how little the Global Communist cared about Brabourne as an educational institution for women or furthering education for Muslim women or even hosting the Jwala Prasad threat to Poland.
The problem with railway hubs like Volnovakha was that apart from involving the Morgans, it would involve the Pullmans. If serious and probing questions were constantly asked of Austria and Antara, if Washington DC had to keep coming up with answers, then the Pullmans, always meant for the short haul in global intrigues, would never have a chance to appear in the discourse.
The burden of Austria was two World Wars and the Nazi Holocaust. The burden of the Pullmans was a railway strike in the US in the 1890s. Did the two situations compare?
This was what Donald Trump had been trying to prove since the day he took office in his second term, Jan 20, 2025. "Look at this Austrian, her concerns were so monumental, so overbearing, it could eclipse even a global trade and tariff war. Everything was only about her."
Antara had heard such an argument before, from the journalist wife of a CPM Politburo honcho in New Delhi.
