  1. This always happens and relations will probably get worse with China and India, the main problem being is that both are big rising powers, it's rare for two major powers to get along, we saw that with the US and Japan in the 80's as Japan was being seen as a threat to the US, we see it today with the US and China as the US sees China as a rising threat, heck, even the EU and US have there ding dongs, with the US wanting to keep the EU countries divided, any rising powers will usually always have issues with other rising or established powers, China and India rising is no exception, so expect more disagreements and fallouts from all this. But on the plus side, with the EU and US already a power and with China and India on the rising, it's giving many options for countries to choose from, which I probably say the US have by far the most to lose because they've had most of the last century as a single power, apart from the Soviet block, whereas the EU is a rising power if they get there act together and integrate in key areas and continue to expand with more countries, it's also clear to see that China and India are likely going to be major powers, and it's probably why the US is the more hostile and aggressive one in trying to put down and contain these powers, especially on China which make themselves an easy target, whereas the EU or India are much harder targets to attack, but things are going on behind doors. At the end of the day, it's all geopolitics, the US will use India to see off the threat of China as they see China as the real threat for now, but as the US rises, the US will see India as a threat, it's a game of basically using each other for their own geopolitical ends, with the US by far having the most to use, hence it's aggression on China, but India needs to be careful, if history is any indicator, the US will go after India if they see them as a rising power that can be seen as a threat to US power, the US have already seen Japan and the Soviet Union off, they've been trying to see the EU off since the 90's but not really having any success with that and are now currently going after China not because of its political system or how the country is structured but more because of the rising economy and how the US sees that as a threat and with that, things are going to get interesting over the coming decades as the US isn't powerful enough to contain all these rising powers that are quickly turning the world into a multipolar world, which could make the US far more aggressive on the world stage to protect its position, which we might be seeing early signs of that already, so interesting times ahead of us.

  2. BRICS remind me of the far right, on paper it looks like they can get along, but in reality, there are too different from each other for it to really last long term, especially with China and India as rising powers, they were never going to last with BRICS and they are the core of that group, after all, there needs to be common interest and in the case of China and India, they see themselves as a rising superpower, which is more of a problem for the other BRICS countries. In any case, with India getting tougher on its policies and wanting to steal manufacturing jobs away from China whiles also diversifying its trade away from China, it could end up dividing the interest of both countries and weaken the BRICS cooperation, but for now, both countries use BRICS as a springboard for their own interest, but as they rise in power, they will either try to dictate terms to other BRICS members or leave it entirely.
