War with China, page-287

These relationships aren't static. The idea of developing a strong India to counter China was exactly what US strifed for regarding USSR with a weak and backward Chine in the seventies. Politically and morally, only Donny could align his country with Russia hence a Russian preference over the Dems. Currently under Biden, Putin will never be accepted as a partner.

Interesting that no western country is making any noise on the China-India conflict. Everyone is focussing on Taiwan and contemplating what to dobwith their One China official policy. The economic sybiosis with Covid bringing global economies to its knees is a lose-lose if China is marginalised. I still do not understand why China is opening up so many conflict fronts but these border issues are not a newly created dillemas, its historical brewing for decades. Maybe they decided to tackle it all at once, feel the pain then move on to the compromising stage?

I simply look at gold to gauge conflict potential, just noise so far. Invention by the press to fixate eye balls for revenues.
