Hi,
What is happening to Russia right now---it cannot ignore Pakistan and in order for it to acknowledge Pakistan---Russia has to change its stance big time in favor of Pakistan.
WOT is a big concern for every nation----. But only out of sheer ignorance of India---by interfering in Pakistan----it has prolonged Pakistan taking out the terrorists and that also has worldwide effect.
I can understand that India wanted to avenge for what Pakistan did to it in the 80's and 90's---but it is all about the timing----it could not have been any poor.
Russia is very serious about the wot and more serious about how it is being strangulated---. Russia needs a lot more breathing room due to the sheer size of its geography and due to its area of influence.
And as it is being strangulated on one side---it would need multiple outlets to keep its presence known and acknowledged and relieve the pressure.
And interestingly---that won't stop the Russians from dealing with Pakistan. The door has been opened.
