Yeah surely , its a sure tell all Sign where the world is going
China and Russia Vetoed because they saw what happened in Libya, its just a blatant war now we will see Al Qaeda flourish in Libya before it was a beautiful country , opening up its oil business and it had a endless future before it
Libya was a needless conquest by NATO. No country other than NATO agrees on that, including us. Libya was a waste of time, lives and money. Just supporting the opposition was enough rather than sending in invasive jets.
But Russia + China + Pakistan + Iran + Turkey
I don't know from where you get that "bloc". Because it has never been materialized courtesy to difference of foreign policy agendas of all these countries. Realities have changed from alliances to trade money and the enemies have changed as well.
What we are seeing now happening in our life time is revival of the "Old Silk Route"
an ancient route which used to the source of revenue for Past empires / civilizations
Don't see who is so significantly interested in it other than China and Pakistan.
Now we see a reverse happening , people are going back forming old alliances and its Cheaper to trade via Silk route vs shipping things by Sea route
Though it is a lucrative route, given the absence of reasonable infrastructure and lack of any neutral-political nations, it is going to remain an energy corridor for Asia rather than of any serious value. Security is the prime concern.
Russia + China + Pakistan + Iran + Turkey makes complete sense , and if one Day India gives up its Weapons purchase desires and shakes hand with Pakistan and China who know SCO
Not possible. As said, none of these countries have matching foreign policies or even common goals. Some examples:
-
China: wants exceptional trade and economic relations favoring in its surplus. Doesn't give a jack about anything else other than its regional problems. Keen on territorial expansion is secondary right now.
-
Pakistan: foreign policy focused on mitigating any progress in our and Afghan matters. Focused on retaining mujahideen groups for strategic use later. Trade not on priority as of now as much as security is despite inaction in both aspects.
-
Turkey: wants independent decision making from US and expand trade and commercial ties with Arabs. Focused on regaining its Ottoman influence in the region under Erdogan.
-
Russia: Focused on securing the participation of EU missile defense program, is wary of Jihad in its underbelly, focused on energy and gas ties to new alternative customers. Sees Jihad as a threat rather than an asset.
-
Iran: Obsessed with Israel, wants to be the regional boss, but is unable to. Wants complete destruction of Israel and wants to spread its influence from countries like Bahrain into Middle East. At a Mexican stand-off with Syria and Turkey right now.
S C 0 might be a bigger organization the NATO can ever imagine to be why ?
Because all the RAW material comes from SCO nations
Wrong. Except Kazakhstan, Russia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, the remaining members aren't resource rich. Other major suppliers of RAW materials are Brazil, Argentina, Canada, African states and Australia. SO it isn't as one sided as you see it.
And if really look closely ,
Russia and Pakistan really had a good if not Best relations at time I mean who set up Pakistani Steels mills ? Russia !!! Not US they would have asked us to ship items to USA and then buy back stuff
Economics is perhaps the only line where two countries don't have problems with each other no matter how much they might despise each other.
