ahaah, the west is pleased to despise Russia, but China won't.
In the cold war, Russia failed because Russia look down on China and push China into American camp..
I won't say pleased, i personally had hopes for a rapprochement given the shared interest in fighting terrorism among other things, but alas!
I suppose like Eastern European countries are paranoid of Russia, Russia is paranoid of NATO even though it is clearly a defensive alliance and was struggling for relevancy before Russia invaded Ukraine. Well no questions about its relevance now.
India being a pole is something I'm afraid I won't be living to witness. India has enormous problem and they haven't really figure out how to solve their energy need which will become a crisis in the future.
For Russia, it is a great power. Russia is a mature power. It has enormous strategic depth that across vast boundary and territories. Being on Russia's side is not a bad thing. Guarantee nuclear cover and energy, which is all we need when facing the US in an all out war, if that day ever comes. Although the current policy is not to take any side in the West vs Russia dispute, there is no question we favor toward the balancing act. We will continue to support and lift Russia when we see it is being push to the corner. This does not mean we are against the West as we have very favorable view and relation with European Powers. It means we protecting our securities and national interests by keeping the world multi-polar balance instead of submitting to the US unipolar hegemony.
If the current Russia is considered Russia as a mature and developed power, then I weep for Russians .
