US under Obama engaged in strategic overreach in Ukraine then Russia did the same for itself then US destroyed their economy now Putin probably will happily arch his back if Xi wants to spank it as long as Xi calls him a “Gooud bouy”. Now Russia wants to flex its rubber backbone towards India. India should have stopped buying Russian equipment after Vikramaditya fiasco, I’m sure Russians are using some sort of blackmail to sell their hardware to India, most likely something to do with our excellent military planning where 70% of our weapons ended up being Russian even today.
India should not have joined SCO in the first place it was humiliating that India was willing to stand in line for years to be “let in” into the group which did not even give any trade advantage to India, all it did was give Russia a better position with respect to China. India should leave it. Central Asia is not worth this much effort, focus the resources towards Africa and South America. India should also start preparing to “leave”(apparently there is no provision on how to quit UN) UN over the next 30 years. Leave NAM immediately- its pointless. Leave SAARC immediately as well India doesn’t need to be a part of ASEAN like groupings to get better trade deals.
Treat the country Pakistan like a black hole for all practical purposes and plan accordingly, which means since trade cannot pass through a black hole you can always go around it, there is not need to bash our head against a wall, use these diplomats somewhere else where they will be far more useful and productive for the country as well as our industry. Deter China for now there will be time to pick a fight with them as well.
