ls India trying to get into an India-Israel-USA-Japan-Aus-UK-France-Germany-Nato allies bloc?
if it happens then we can surely see China-Russia-Pak-Nepal-Afganistan-Indonesia-allies bloc..
Both blocs will try over the next 21 and 22nd century to increase their clout in economic, military and scope of influence for energy, markets and resources...
Interestingly, both blocs has 1 each most populous country. The US bloc has more money and tech advantage.. Yet China bloc has more US dollar bonds and enough to make US always dependent on China for their currency stability.
if this plays out the way these two blocs are made then increasing hostility will be clearly seen...
would be interesting to see where ME countries and oil rich arab nations tilt? so is african nations.. Oil rich i guess will do business as usual.. african nations needs lots of investment and thats where china has made strategic inroads in recent times...
The changing times may see changing philosophies...not one best friend but rather mix of friends which serves national interests and is win win for both sides.
