South Korean frenzy didn't imply Global South's victory

This was a 'requested' blogpost.

The NRI plan to distinguish between Ajit and Antara was a complicated one, one where he was a loyal government officer and Antara was a former employee of the private sector.

Ajit was to be regarded as a professional man (the reason Antara was not allowed to survive in journalism)

a family man (why Antara's marriage was always under attack, though she was competent in household chores)

and thereby worthy of maintaining a House while Antara remained an unemployed individual, always feuding with the Trumps and the Obamas, distrusted by the Indian private sector.

Such an NRI maneuver could not be attempted without cooperation from the Israelis, especially the sort that targeted Russian Jews within Israel or went after music band like the 'Raspberries'. It also needed the active support of the German spy bosses, the likes of Gerhard Schindler and Bruno Kahl, those that may have assisted in ending Antara's journalism career at HT so that Antara didn't emerge as a bigger professional success than her father.

It was the pinnacle of triumph for the Punjabi Communists, the Harkishans and Akeelas, when Israel and Germany started cooperating against the legit lease and Poland. 

Antara, you always wondered why Delhi's character suddenly changed, why these sleepy residential neighbourhoods became so aggressive and hostile towards you? It was because your father had gone from your life but he had prevailed in the Global South while you didn't. 

ii. At such a point, Antara could have brought the world down with BT and SA/Sturmabteilung, what the SA knew of Ajit's life and how it was deliberately mismanaged, but she would need her US citizenship documents before that, else it would remain a US Govt matter, bilateral trade with South Koreans, and the financier wouldn't be able to intervene. 

Even if Antara had her US citizenship documents, she'd never be able to connect the Birlas to such organised NRI frenzy. She'd merely run into endless Russian GRU officials who managed these NRIs, and that was the expertise of the Presidential First Ladies, serving and former, how would Antara gain if she found out the names of the Russians responsible for exciting the NRIs?

There were severe implications: either Antara would find out that when it came to military decision-making, the gap between Moscow and the Pentagon was so insignificant that she'd have to question Moscow's stature. "If the US and Russia consulted and acted in military matters, why was Russian and KGB stature so high within the Global South?"

If she went past that, she'd find out that the NRI frenzy was a Paramount Corporation/Shari Redstone ops, and given the institution that backed Paramount, Antara would have to quieten down.

Did Antara have a hand she could play at the moment? She could start paying attention to the middlemen who facilitated the loss of lease to Japan in 1987. After all, if South Koreans had gone berserk and wanted a semiconductor monopoly within the United States, it was because of 1987 and the legit lease's humiliation. 

The middlemen who assisted in losing the legit lease to Japan in 1987 were all from the Middle East. Once Antara understood the situation, the Pentagon wouldn't be able to refuse a comprehensive military strategy against the Middle Eastern countries.
