I still remember studying maps as a kid, we had a big world map across from our piano (irony! choose the piano or choose the map maybe? it was also the only reasonable place to put it, where you could actually look at all of it), and I used to look at countries and wonder why they ended up that way, and what 'adjustments' some of them would make, some pieces of land stick out funny and don't make a lot of sense, but as I learned later as an adult, many colonial powers used their power to set boarders that wouldn't be based on ethnicity/traditional borders, famously the soviets did this everywhere, as did the colonial powers in Africa, which didn't want African states coming out of Imperialist hell to functionality and set boarders so that hostile groups were going to be shoved together. Nasty stuff, but we're not a 'nice' species at the higher echelons.
Obviously belt/road initiative pipelines should help with oil/gas issues? It's not even like when the US abused countries, they do make infrastructure to make their projects work I understand? Former soviet states have tons of resources, it's not just Siberia that has resources.
Important point in India Vs China, India has way more local food production at this point I understand, and India imports lots of extra pulses from Canada, a route that china has no hope of interfering with. If china offends the US, they can interfere with routes to South America and obviously North America, there is no way that ends well for china.
Also, I will possess the strongest person near putin if he drains Lake Baikal, and I will beat him into a coma. Do not abuse such a sacred resource, you've already polluted it plenty!
