I think, i agree with the journalist to some extent...Russian interest will definitely converge with interest of China and Pakistan with respect to US...After all, friends are made based on the common objective...Nothing wrong with it..But the good news for India is that if this is really happens, then US will not have much bargaining chip with respect to India expect accept India as a partner rather than exploiting it ...So this will eventually push US and West closer to India which was not the possibility when US and Pakistan are still ally to each other.
I am not sure if you really do not know the trivial question or you are trying to put up a brave face...Every nation expect a few likes to align with US and the West..The reason is not about the allignment in political landscape rather it is the economics that forces all the nations to always have a good relationship with West..India,Pakistan and more of the nations around pre 2000 era always go around US so as to get the economic and benifit of people immigrate to these countries so that it will benefit the host nation...Which was not the case with Russia and China...Whatever relation you can make up with Russia and China, the amount of immigrant money that is being remitted to our countries will not be same if US or West or Gulf nations bans the people to go to their nation or they do not encourage our industry to participate with the economic activity of the West.
We should pull ourselves away from our horrible past and glorification of the anti soviet jihad in Afghanistan and work to become friends. US never was and never will be a real friend. IT did not come to our aid in 71, it refused to give us the f16's we already paid for and punished us for our efforts against the Soviets with the Pressler Amendment. They even killed our troops in the Salala incident and Davis killed at least 2 Pakistani civilians and escaped claiming diplomatic immunity. He had numbers of LEJ commanders in his phone.
I don't know why our spineless leadership never tried to develop ties with Russia at the expense of America. Russia is a far better ally than a traitorous nation like the USA. We need to pull away from this detrimental partnership as quickly as possible.
