You are right that both China and Russia are clear eyed about America’s totally transparent intentions with their latest ‘peace’ talks. However, it’s actually entirely possible, advantageous even, for Russia to go along with it if it can secure the necessary concessions from the Americans.

The primary reason would be that America and Ukraine won’t be the only ones who can take advantage of the ensuing pause in the conflict to rearm and resupply.

Russia is already winning the logistics war against America and the rest of NATO with no direct military imports from China. How do you think the re-arm race will go when China full-sends military exports to Russia after a ceasefire is agreed?

Russia is achieving a favourable KD ratio right now, but there are fundamental issues with its war machine that is hard, if not impossible to fix while they are in a full scale war and China isn’t willing to sell arms to a participant in active combat. But with a pause in the fighting and the full catalogue of Chinese arms unlocked, Russia can fundamentally revamp its military and give it a quantum leap in a couple of years. Then, when it is ready, it can basically manufacture any pretext it wants to restart the war and achieve far more favourable exchange ratios while also being able to conduct proper combined arms warfare instead of its current grinding attritional slog.
Also any sort of "arms control for world peace" by the USA is also a trick/strategm to actually have China reveal how many nuclear warheads she has plus type,number/type of launchers.where /how based.yield, etc-something China's long held strategic opacity will be gone and she will be so much more vulnerable-NO DICE!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

It is like literally hundreds of kilometers away. What do they have to bitch about?
Here,innocent me thought that often used word in the Taiwan Strait "FONOP" was applicable EVERYWHERE??Didn't a Canadian ship just pass through the said TW strait like 2 days ago-why the bitching about 3 PLAN ships in international waters ?Would the PLAN flotilla had sailed through the Cook Strait between Australia and NZ-thus giving ANZAC the naval "finger"-ah to dream.

RT had been sleeping since 2014. Modi had always been in eager to embrace America. Only when India boasts about wanting to buy F-35 over Su-57, then RT starts to worry? Since when had India truly been Russia's friend?

It isn’t RT. This is an Opinion Piece that RT published. Author is M. K. Bhadrakumar, a retired Indian diplomat and retired Indian Ambassador to Turkey. Used to also be a diplomat in West Germany and that was 35 years ago.

An opinion piece still needs to be screened. If RT is publishing an article M. K. Bhadrakumar, despite their disclaimer, they are still endorsing his view. They almost always publish Jai Hind opinion pieces, so why now the sudden change of tone? Is it coincidental?

So to clarify. Trump publically humiliates Modi in front of his face by announcing steep tariffs on India, Insults an Indian journalist by telling him he can't understand a word he's saying, then proceeds to conduct the conference using an English-Indian English translator.

With any other country this would have led to a diplomatic incident, but somehow Indians perceive this as good. Indian culture is unique in that being mocked by a powerful foreigner is a source of pride. It boosts their self esteem when someone they see as superior to them is paying them attention.

Trump probably spent decades dealing with Indians in real estate, Xi needs to take notes. Next time there is diplomatic engagement, instead of drab platitudes about Chinese-Indian friendship and working together, just mock Modi's funny accent or poor hygiene.

It seems counterintuitive, but it is the only way Indo-Chinese relations will improve.

It is hardly the first time it and it still isn’t the opinion of RT. Most of the opinion articles regarding India usually come from Indian people on RT.
