and India and Pakistan will not fight again?

Common interests and the possibility of reconciliation will emerge.

Well reassured, but as in Syria, I thought it would be

Volodya, we have always been able to try on our neighbors and find another occupation for them, and not be at enmity with each other.

It turns out interesting: the former satellites of the Soviet Union became vassals of the West, and the former British colonies became allies of Russia. And who said that the Union lost the Cold War? India and Pakistan will be predominantly Poland and Bulgaria.

They are taking revenge on the UK, not in vain they are buying up their car factories, and now they are working for Indians

Until recently, Ford could boast of two more British brands - Jaguar (in 1989 Ford bought Jaguar for $ 2,5 billion) and Land Rover (in 2000 it was overbought by Ford for 2,75 billion dollars from BMW). In 2008, both brands were put up for sale due to huge debts. In June 2008, they were bought by the Indian Tata Motors.

If Shoigu is right, they should give him an elephant according to the good Indian tradition.

Well, if the Indians go to the SCO, then the SCO has not yet stretched out its legs ... That's good

[Platov]

Everyone considers the SCO only an economic union, only we want and think that the SCO can become like NATO ... For me, it’s necessary to try to replace the UN with the SCO ... The UN has died as a structure! Like once the League of Nations ...

[siberalt]

The UN is nothing, the Security Council is everything. With the abolition of the UN, the Security Council will also crumble, in which members of the nuclear club, mostly states with nuclear weapons. And how then to bring them together? Really within the framework of the SCO?

[Platov]

India in the Security Council? Pakistan? Israel? DPRK?

[Platov]

Not all the nuclear powers are far away ... And the countries that live on it, and not from behind the puddles, should have to make decisions that concern the life of the Eurasian continent so that someone tells us how to better build our lives!
