I never understood BRICS. Sure, they are the second line of industrial powers (China?) but especially India Russia and China hate each other to the bone. They are partners only on paper. If someone can explain it to me please go on .
India Russia and China hate each other to the bone.
India and Russia have had goid relations for over half a century. Polls in India usually show Russia as the most liked foreign nation. China and Russia also have had good relations for at least the last decade or so.
India-China relations are complicated. There is a border conflict, but China is our biggest trading partner, and we need China’s UnionPay if we ever want to decouple from Swift.
And this is something the MAGAts lack the fundamental capacity to begin to understand. Right wing propaganda doesn’t even need to address this and spin it to a positive for trump because it would simply confuse their peons.
I’d agree, but libs aren’t constantly thumping their chest that their choice is the infallible god-king of wealth and economics and can do no wrong. Also I feel if this happened under a dem president the news would cover it and would include deeper information about why. That being said, I’d predict that when the next dem president is voted in and this needs to be addressed, we’ll get much more information about why it matters.
It’s complicated. Some countries are allied in one aspect, and bitter enemies in another. For example, the US and Russia are military and world-power rivals, but frequently cooperate in scientific endeavors like the ISS, and conduct plenty of resource trading, like oil and minerals.
Or at least they did for a while. Russia invading Ukraine hampered that a bit.
As a person living next to Russia, I tend to follow it’s situation. I know that the exports from Russia to India has been declining for years, following India moving (not all yet) production of weaponry home. Only oil remains strong.
Also India - I think - seems to be projecting more and more “Western” image. Not sure why. Maybe my perception is skewed here, because the CEOs of biggest corporations sound more and more indian every year. Maybe it’s Modi skipping Shanghai Cooperation Agreement summit - and generally avoiding public places where Putin is - since Russian invasion of Ukraine.
So while Russia and India will remain trade partners and probable allies, I think they are currently trying to figure out how to increase their trade ties (and India might be wanting to be hush hush about it for Western publicity). There might be other challenges there - if I remember correctly, the current trade flow is that India buys significantly more from Russia than it sells there, so they might want to increase their exports - but this is totally my opinion.
I know there were plans for more ports and trade corridors before the Ukraine invasion, but I don’t know their status now.
India Russia hate each other to the bone
I don’t think so. Russia supported India during Cold War, didn’t it? It also stood with India during India-Pakistani War. That counts for a lot, especially with older folks - and politicians tend to be older folks.

thats how bad dealing with the us is.
And this is something the MAGAts lack the fundamental capacity to begin to understand. Right wing propaganda doesn’t even need to address this and spin it to a positive for trump because it would simply confuse their peons.
us fascists are very dissociated from reality, but i think most libs don’t quite get it either.
I’d agree, but libs aren’t constantly thumping their chest that their choice is the infallible god-king of wealth and economics and can do no wrong.

i meant about how bad dealing with the us is. and its honestly not that different between dems and reps.
dems tend to start more wars, although i think this trump term will prove itself an outlier.
Russia and India are friends since USA decided to “invade” India
Your impression of India’s, China’s, and Russia’s relationships with each other is years behind.
