Subject: Re: India, Russia and China
A quibble. I am writing on a message board, not carefully editing a document. India of course doesn't have to "search" for Russia or China. I meant that having lost the United States as a dependable and somewhat constant ally (one who was at least minimally cognizant of the need to conduct international relations with an eye to the domestic needs of other countries), India is now

Since you don’t want to answer I’ll do it for you: BRICS has been around for going on 25 years.

Which means your point about “searching” for allies is a really, really bad one.

You're reaching for as many ancillary issues as possible

Nope. You have a spectacularly bad take on China/Russia/India and you’re attempting to play offense to deflect from it.

BRICS has been around for 25 years, almost. You seem to be u see the illusion that India is either run by children (and the Bad Orange Man did a meanie) or that they’re hopelessly naive (let’s suddenly cozy up to China, great idea!) when it reality neither is the case.

The other thing you’re doing is spiking the football before everything has played out.

Say. Do you know the ratio of students from India studying in the US vs. China?
