Russia as a strategic partner is a liability for India. We're seeing that already in India's reliance on Russia arms. Russia can't deliver because of manufacturing challenges, compounded by insatiable domestic demand. The serviceability of India's existing Russian kit doesn't bode well either, since Russia has been forced to buy back spare parts from its (former?) customers. Moreover, as Russia grows more and more dependent on China, there's no question of Russia increasingly choosing China's side at the expense of India. You had better rethink your strategic partnerships.

@thebestevertherewas I fail to see any relevance to the topic at hand in your comment. Try again. And leave off the conspiracy theories.

Actually, what you're forgetting is that China still rates as developing country and that its economic growth should exceed that of Germany at all times. Germany is a developed country, which tend to plateau in terms of growth because there's less untapped potential left. They're constantly at or near peak performance, so gains are relatively small even at the best of times. China's main problem is that its economy is geared towards high growth. When said high growth doesn't materialise, a great many companies will collapse because they've overextended themselves in the mistaken belief that China's economy is immune to shifting fortunes. The CCP has its work cut out propping up heavily-indebted megacorporations and trying to keep the Jenga tower from collapsing. It will get worse before it will get better.

@Avatar_2025 You'll have to write to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, telling them to take back the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize from the EU. Come to think of it, as a EU citizen, I'm a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. How about you?

@AnmolKumar-yb3sl It's interesting to see that Indians, too, are falling for WEF conspiracy theories. One would hope you'd at least be original and come up with your own conspiracy theories. No such luck, I see.

The IMF is funny that way. The old computing adage "garbage in, garbage out" very much applies to it. China and Russia in particular are known to be IMF garbagemen.

You neglected your economy studies (or never had any?) if you're comparing Germany to China in terms of growth figures.

@YS27122 No, China has hit a speed bump, but quite hard. It's fixable, but the car needs a whole new axle.

@navajyothmp1871 Your victim mentality is kicking in. At no instance was -- or is -- "the whole West" against India. Besides, Russia is something else altogether compared to the now defunct Soviet Union. It's interesting that you think crony-capitalist Putin somehow inherited your perceived debt of gratitude to the communist Soviets. Marx and Lenin would balk at the sight of Putin and his oligarchs.

@navajyothmp1871 I know the Indo-Pakistani wars. "The West", as a whole, was not siding with Pakistan. You're talking about the USA and by Russia, you're still referring to the Soviet Union. Get over it, the Soviet Union is done and dusted. You're not very good with getting names right, but you are very good at generalising.
