S4E73 Why India Cannot Let Russia Fall Into China’s Orbit

Let's talk about why India cannot let Russia fall into China's orbit.

Now, there are many reasons for it.

But when you start to look into it, then you find that from the get-go, since 1948, one of the major objectives of America's Asia strategy has been to weaken India-Russia relationship.

This is why when Donald Trump became president, then he promoted Quad.

He thought that by working with India at the summit level, they can slowly and slowly, you know, try this thing.

Obama was, I think, the only president who actually understood why India-Russia relationship is sort of important.

But other than that, I don't believe that any president actually understood this.

And so there has been this attempt.

And then also after 1962 with India-China war, there has been attempt to sabotage India and China relationship, that Chile relationship that lacks some serious trust.

Even that relationship has been tested.

They have tried lots of things to make sure that India-China somehow get involved into some sort of, you know, war-like situation or fight or something or something.

Because in 1971... between India and Pakistan war, actually Nixon administration was asking Chinese to interfere and jump into this thing and into the India-Pakistan war.

But Chinese simply refused because Soviet Union asked Chinese not to do anything.

But then that's a different story after that.

Now, but India hasn't, India cannot afford to simply replace Russia with the United States if there is that kind of mindset involved then, I'm saying.

But India cannot do that.

Russia still remains an important pillar of India's position in the Asia and even Russia's strategic partnership with China continues to deepen.

All that is happening.

Make no mistake.

That's why I'm making this video.

But for India, actually, real danger is not formal Russia-China alliance.

Actually, it begins much earlier.

Now, think about this.

Like, if Russia starts to align with China, and lots of you may say, oh, then Russia is already aligned with China, so what's the issue here? Well, Russia is aligned with China because of...

the concern of NATO and the West.
