China and India working their differences out would be a tectonic shift in geopolitics.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised. I wonder how the U.S would react to that though. Probably wouldn't be thrilled at losing a potential instrument against China, but the sanctions machine sure doesn't seem to work like it used to.

Amusingly, I suspect that US putting pressure on India over trade with Russia is precisely what drove in India to start realigning away from the west.

They act like a needy, abusive spouse on the world stage. No wonder Japan is looking for the door. I think it's impossible now for a lot of decision makers globally to internally sell closer political/economic relations with the US. Why bet on a losing horse?

I bet Ukraine debacle has really shaken a lot of US vassals. All of a sudden everyone can see that the emperor has no clothes.
