Everyone knows that the syrian government had no geniune reason to attack people as it had control over rebels,
Americans are attacking Syria to accquire Russian bases,and spread a military superiority in that reason.
As a unconfirmed news states that china has sent its warships to support russian ships.
Do you think In case of war India will join its long term ally Russia and the THREE MILITARY GIANTS will form a tri axis or will indian remain neutral or will it shift its intrest towards the USA and NATO..
comments welcomed
Triaxis between Russia , India , China is extremely unlikely ! Given ethos of Indian foreign policy ...India does not believe in " Axis " concept .....During his first term Putin was very enthusiastic of this " Triaxis" concept given his strong Anti US credentials it's not surprising either . But concept never took any serious turn....There are several drawbacks ...of such axis .
Russia ...given its Pro India and Pro China policy could have acted as binding force ....but disparity and contradictions in Sino-Indian mutual relations are too great to make any such alliance possible .
The only aim for such alliance could have been to counter US . all 3 countries had reasons to antagonize US in 90's when this concept was first mooted . But US has successfully weaned India from Sino-Russian alliance ..by making deft and rather quick switch from Pro Pakistan to Pro India policy ( thanks to Condoleezza rice for scripting major turnaround ...)
The biggest incentive for such alliance is therefore gone ....India no longer sees US as adversary like China or Russia .
Even if such incentive existed ....it is too difficult for India & China to work together !
It's a famous saying that you can't keep two swords in a single sheath !
China and India are natural adversaries today ! The great Himalayan barrier acted as natural divide between two civilizations and prevented any major conflict in the past since antiquities . But in era of Globalization such boundaries have become irrelevant . Even if they do not wish , India and China will found themselves at cross roads again and again ! Resources are finite and 'growing' China and India will almost always find themselves competing with each other . Besides historic baggage of 1962 can never let India trust China fully .
Most important factor : Resurgent China finds itself capable of challenging US alone ....it does not need to team up with even Russia to do so ....hence the reason to forge alliance with natural adversary like India ...is just unimaginable .
Even today US clout far exceeds combined clout of Russia and China . US was able to push aside UN ...dismissing Russian and Chinese objections during Afghan and Iraq war . It may succeed in doing so in case of Syria too
But finally US is going to get adversary of its match soon and that is China ....
We are again heading for Bipolar world ...Russia being replaced by China !
Willy-nilly India will be forced to side with US rather than China !
Instead of emergence of Anti US " Russo -Indo-Sino " alliance possibility of Anti Chinese " Indo-US- Japanese " alliance would have been better .
Multipolar world is in the best interest of the world ....to maintain balance of power by ensuring enough of mutual checks and balances .....It is therefore India has been advocate of strengthening multilateral institutions like UN .
India given its foreign policy will never enter in any formal military alliance with any country against any country ....despite looming threat from China .
