China offers 10-bln-USD SCO loan

[NeutralCitizen]

Soviet expansion to Afghanistan was stalled by USA for the last 33 years, while Afghanistan became a geopolitical football and a basket case, while Pakistan continues to suffer. This only means one thing that this containment policy by the US was a wrong move. The new incarnation of Soviet Union, called the Eurasian Union, should expand to Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, under SCO security umbrella. I see no problem India joining SCO, it knows it will loose out in the long term, if it becomes another pawn for the faulty US containment policy of China and Russia in this space. SCO however is just a strategic and security alliance network, it is not any kind of union project. A good analogy is NATO and EU, while Turkey is a part of NATO, but not part of EU.

But it is foolish to think Pakistan is not important. If Eurasion Union expansion becomes reality as I predict and promote, then for Russia, Pakistan will become far more important than India. In fact, I would predict that Russia and Pakistan will get much more close and China-Pakistan relationship may not develop well in the future.

Indian strategists in South block should start thinking more about developing their economy and reigning in their religious extremists from among their ranks, so they can chart a more realistic foreign policy. The developing situation will not be like the past.

Hold on weren't you against the SCO and the Eurasian Union ? Kalu Miah you were hell bent on bangladesh joining ASEAN.

India won't get in... Pakistan will not allow it...

China has started SCO to strengthen itself not to please Pakistan. Learn to fight your own battles, stop expecting your uncle to do it for you.

Where did you get that, I mean that I am against SCO and Eurasian Union? I have always been for Bangladesh joining ASEAN and creating a ASEAN+ bloc that includes Japan and South Korea:

While for Eurasian Union my opinions are here:

Do you think that for some reason, I cannot support both? I have my opinions on the entire globe, which is here:

Expanding on the USA/NATO/EU/Turkey analogy, for SCO it will look like China/SCO/Eurasia+/India. Like USA in NATO, China is the big boss for SCO, like EU, Eurasia+ will aim to become a federal state in the future. Like NATO member Turkey not getting membership of EU, India will be SCO member, but not a member of Eurasia+.

But there is a key difference, USA, Canada, EU and ANZ may become a Europa+ someday, but China will not be able to join Eurasia+ for the near or medium term.
