Dr. Bremmer is painfully obtuse. One, war crimes wise, the US isn’t in a place to preach to ANYONE. Second, and more importantly, India’s view of Russia is, in all important ways, the OPPOSITE of China’s. The Russo-Chinese axis , historically, is driven by trade in Energy, while India has only now begun to see Russia as a key supplier of oil. To India, post independence, Russia was the only “western” power that did not treat them like brown-niggas. The sense of trust that gift of dignity engendered cannot be overestimated. Gandhi and Tolstoy were both proponents of peace and self-abnegation. Americans, including the foolish Bremmer forget that the US dispatched their decent fleet to help Pakistan vs. India in 1971. The other canard is that India is socialist, while the US is not. In reality, both are market economies, each allocating funds to suit their development state and role in the world. The constant disparagement and denigration of India by the establishment and intellectuals in the US, where they could be doing so much more to increase understanding, hurts us as potential allies.
