"Russia has not learned any lessons": India calls to reconsider relations with China

75

It is time for Russia to get rid of its illusions, expecting support from China in the event of a real conflict with the West. India is its real strategic partner.

This opinion was expressed by Professor Nalin Kumar Mohapatra in The Economic Times. According to him, in the past two years, relations between India and Russia have reached new heights, demonstrating growing cooperation in the field of defense and energy, along with a common desire for a multipolar world. However, the intensification of ties between the two countries is hindered by the "unholy force" in the form of China.



According to Mohapatra, Moscow's relations with Beijing are experiencing a meteoric surge as they both take an anti-Western stance.

There is a certain delusion in the minds of Russian politicians that China will help Russia in the event of any crisis with the West. However, whenever Russia faces a real problem, be it the Crimean crisis or the South Ossetian problem, China is silent. Despite these setbacks, Russia has not learned any lessons

- says the professor.

As he believes, Moscow needs to turn towards New Delhi, and not rely on such an unreliable partner. In particular, India's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union will help balance China's economic penetration into the post-Soviet space. This has already been realized by the leadership of Kazakhstan, which is trying to compensate for Beijing's influence through ties with India.

Russia should offer India the opportunity to join the EAEU

- the professor notes.

In his opinion, Moscow, despite the pro-Chinese course, has shown its readiness to provide assistance to New Delhi in the course of its conflict with the PRC. The agreements concluded then on the supply of the S-400 air defense system came in handy. However, it is necessary not to stop there.

Russia must get out of the Chinese orbit [of influence] and strengthen its relationship with India on an equal footing to establish a just world order

- concludes Mohapatra, calling for a radical review of relations with the PRC.

    Russia is looking for partners. But, in the event of a real conflict with the West, we, as usual, will have to rely ONLY on our own strength. And it will end in the same way as it usually ends. For a while, the whole world, and in particular the West, is discouraged from the desire for a real conflict with Russia. Then a new generation, unbeaten by Russia, grows up - and all over again. "Those did not succeed, but I will succeed." Well, well, you are welcome ... am

    The Hindus cannot understand that Russia is not India, not France, and, moreover, not European limitrophes. Russia does not seek military support from anyone and does not hope for anyone's military assistance. About the fact that without America the USSR would not have defeated Hitler, and, moreover, that America defeated Germany with little help from the USSR - let them write history in American school textbooks.

    India should not overestimate its role for Russia as a strategic partner. We can do without India. But India is without us - we'll see. They also sin with "multi-vector", like Alexander Grigorievich not so long ago. But that one, in the light of recent events, I hope, has understood a lot. And these still fried western rooster did not peck anywhere. If they bite, they will also understand. That's when we'll talk about "strategic partnership".

        It should be added that they will catch up with the one who is TEMPORARILY considered the winner. In August 41, no one in the world could even think of May 45. Vaughn, America even awarded the Humpback Dog Medal "For Victory in the Cold War." Hitler also spanked medals in advance - were they useful? And now the European limitrophes have pulled themselves up to what they consider to be strong and invincible. For the time being. Until it smelled fried.

        It is touching that the same Poles today blame us for the fact that we were SPECIALLY in no hurry to liberate Warsaw from the Germans (so they waited for the "Soviet occupation"?). Well, they would have waited for the Americans, or something ... They "liberated" Auschwitz ...
        January 29, 2020 - RIA Novosti. The US Embassy in Denmark posted on Twitter that the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz (Auschwitz) was "liberated" by the US Army.
        After criticizing users, the diplomatic mission acknowledged the mistake, but the text was never corrected.

          "The same Poles blame us today for the fact that we were SPECIALLY in no hurry to liberate Warsaw from the Germans" - Are you sure of the opposite? Stalin had very good reasons not to rush to the liberation of Warsaw, both objective and subjective. And yes, if our troops had helped the Warsaw Uprising, there might not have been a socialist regime in Poland.

            And why on earth did we have to rush, risk the lives of our soldiers, throwing them into an unprepared offensive ... For whom ?! For the sake of those nits that today sit in the government of Poland and accuse us of all mortal sins? They raised a revolt ... And they (the rebels) here, that they asked for help? Those who raised people to the uprising (sitting in London), and did not calculate their strength, are to blame for their death ...

            You are probably not aware that our troops tried to help the Warsaw Uprising. Bridgeheads were captured both upstream and downstream of Warsaw. However, attempts to coordinate actions with the rebels failed due to the reluctance of the rebels to negotiate. The troops who crossed outright could not build on the success and barely held the bridgeheads. After a long offensive, there were no operational reserves at the disposal of the command of the 1st Belorussian Front, which would have made it possible to build on the success.

            The configuration of the front in the Warsaw area was very disadvantageous for our troops, since it was a rather significant arc with a summit directly near Warsaw, reminiscent of Kursk, but, however, noticeably less deep. Nevertheless, the surviving penetrations of the front of German troops into the base of this arc in the Lomza and Demblin areas undoubtedly gave the Wehrmacht command some hope, if a sufficient number of mobile units accumulated in these areas, to strike from them in the general direction of Sedlec, which would lead to the operational encirclement of a significant part of the forces of the 1st Belorussian Front - a kind of topsy-turvy Stalingrad, with the difference that in front of the Germans storming Stalingrad, there was also no very significant water barrier, such as the Vistula.

            When the Germans had an advantage in tanks and aviation, they had cases of successful implementation of such operations both in a counteroffensive and in a stabilized front. Events developed in a similar way during the failure of the offensive of the southwestern front to Kharkov in May 1942, and in the great bend of the Don during the German offensive against Stalingrad. The reserves of the Germans in this area were hardly known for sure at that moment. The presence of such a potential threat undoubtedly fettered significant Soviet forces on the flanks of this arc, which made it impossible to use them in the Warsaw area.

            For the crossing of the Vistula by significant forces that could create at least a semi-encirclement of Warsaw, there were neither these forces themselves, nor the engineering support for the crossing of significant contingents, nor the means of suppressing the defense, moreover, located behind a serious water barrier. Such issues are not resolved in a week. Thus, the uprising at the moment it began was a provocation that did not take into account the real situation at the front, and was conceived with the aim of provoking attempts by the Soviet command to nevertheless transfer additional forces to the left bank of the Vistula. This could only create a dangerous operational-tactical situation for the Soviet troops as a whole and cause unjustified losses in unprepared attacks on the stable line of defense of the Germans.

            Political considerations that have arisen in retrospect should not be confused with the specific problems facing the Soviet command in this case. It should not be forgotten that all processes take place in space and time, and before the Yalta conference there was still more than six months. This is all known now. At that moment, the question of the political structure of post-war Poland was unlikely to be of particular concern to anyone, although some negotiations, of course, were already underway. For example, the Lublin government did not object at about this time to the participation of Mikolajczyk and his group in the coalition government. And the global problem was completely different. The forces of the Wehrmacht were still very large, and the main attention of the Soviet command, undoubtedly, was riveted on the fierce Battle of Balaton, which was taking place at the same time. Failure of this last attempt of the Germans to go on a general offensive was quite expensive, and it was, frankly, not at all until Warsaw. The Poles, as always, thought only of themselves.

          Not in order to criticize the post or the actions of the Headquarters of the High Command, but to clarify information. There was a song from the 40s with a chorus to each verse: "Such and such (Minskaya, Brestskaya, Varshavskaya) street goes through the city, (this) street leads us to the west." So, after the Varshavskaya street led to the west, the singer then gives out with a completely inimitable intonation: "We took Warsaw right off the bat ..." and so on. I've been thinking - how to understand this? And it seemed to me that it was not without the original sense of humor comrade. Stalin. I don’t know how this could be verified.

            The song was written after the events. I know from myself that AFTER the most terrible events seem not so terrible, because I experienced them. And if you constantly scroll through the event, you can slowly move out of your mind. Moreover, this song is not documentary, it is a kind of mass culture of the 40s. Therefore, to find fault with the words in the sense that we took everything "outright" - by God, it's not worth it ... Moreover, Comrade Stalin's peculiar sense of humor has nothing to do with it.

            I would like to hear about the war without jokes and not so much fun - "Enemies burned down their native hut", "Cranes" performed by M. Bernes and many, many other songs. In our army, the boys had tears under the "Crane" ...

          India is for India. And rightly so - for a major power. They do not understand only one thing - as long as the United States has a counterweight in the form of Russia and China, the sworn enemy of both - the United States is courting India. If one of these 2 forces does not become, the probability of the second will be defeated. And then the United States will tell India everything it really thinks about it. And yes: those who pursue the goal of single-handedly rule the world cannot have friends (and, by and large, it all started with the Monroe Doctrine - more than 100 years ago, and no changes are foreseen, rather, full consensus). So rapprochement with China is vitally important to India itself simply because a bad world is better than a good quarrel.

      why the Indian professor got excited I understand.

      India must first recognize Crimea, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria.
      Otherwise it is silent and silent :))
      China even participates in tank biathlon and sometimes vetoes something in the UN Security Council. Or abstains. And the Indians?
      I have not heard a single official word of support from India and have not read anything.

        "Even Crimea was not recognized as Russian" - Belarus, Kazakhstan, the countries of Central Asia, China were not recognized either. Can you name one good reason why India (and other countries) should recognize Crimea as ours? We will still sell weapons to them, we will still buy medicines from them. We will still be friends with China more than with India, regardless of whether they recognize Crimea as ours or not. India's economic ties with the United States are much cooler than with Russia - what the hell is it to substitute for them, running into sanctions? As long as we have a weak economy, we are doomed to be alone.

    Regarding this
    However, whenever Russia faces a real problem, be it the Crimean crisis or the South Ossetian problem, China is silent.

    China is not an ally of Russia, and Beijing is silent, because if it recognizes Crimea and Ossetia, then the US will immediately hit China with sanctions, the US is only looking for an excuse to impose more sanctions on China. Before criticizing China, let India first recognize Crimea and Ossetia.

      It seems to me that if American sanctions do not really work on us, then China literally doesn't care. For America, the trade war with China is a shot in the foot. Considering how much American production is exported to China and how much purely Chinese consumer goods are in American supermarkets. Trump, of course, puffs up, puffs out his cheeks - "I will return production to America." This is from the election campaign.

But Russia itself, a little over a hundred years ago, built airplanes, ships, railways, internal combustion engines, had a scientific school, universities, theaters, etc. And India lived in the mid-century all - from untouchables to maharajas.

This year, Moscow State University took 74th place, which is an excellent result, but it is the only Russian university with a reputation in the West. There are still three Indian universities in the Top 200.
          "You forget to mention that at the same time, they almost always represent far from Indian universities. They do not live or work there" - but they studied in India! Nobody needs ignoramuses in FIG. And Indian scientists are snapped up, which speaks of the quality of Indian education. There are also enough problems in Indian education - many private universities are trying to simply cut the money, and the quality of teaching is awful, but we are also familiar with these problems.

            Even in your "rating" of Moscow State University in 74th place. And you write about the 214th. Just think, I lied several times! At the same time, you have no idea how this rating was compiled and whether it really reflects the level of education in universities and not, say, the level of their funding, the number of foreign teachers and students, etc. (in the case of WUR, this is just such a rating - very specific, pursuing certain goals). Therefore, for the second time, I strongly ask you not to talk about what you do not even have a vague idea about (and even corny be lazy to look in and check the truth of the indicated numbers) and not spread gossip on the Internet.

            but they studied in India!

            Why do you think so? Hindus are simply studying immensely all over the world. They have an elite who have money and who want a normal education for their children, not what is given in India.

    "However, whenever Russia faces a real problem, be it the Crimean crisis or the South Ossetian problem, China is silent."
    And that India has already recognized the Crimea as Russian and the independence of South Ossetia? Did I miss something?

    Well, our answer to:
    There is a certain delusion in the minds of Russian politicians that China will help Russia in the event of any crisis with the West. However, whenever Russia faces a real problem, be it the Crimean crisis or the South Ossetian problem, China is silent. Despite these setbacks, Russia has not learned any lessons

    it should be:
    There is some misconception in the minds of Indian politicians that the United States will help India in the event of any crisis with China. However, whenever India is faced with a real problem, be it Kashmir or the problem of the Northern Territories, the US only tries to use them to its advantage. Despite these setbacks, India has not learned any lessons

      How did you decide that India has such delusions? With highly developed economic ties, political and military ties with the United States remain relatively weak, and in historical retrospect, the United States has always supported Pakistan, not India.

          You suppose I don’t know that in the last 10 years the Indians began to buy American weapons and periodically conduct joint exercises, but this does not mean that they have become an American satellite. They are buying weapons and conducting exercises with Russia, and are not going to stop, despite the explicit threats from the US to apply sanctions. There are plenty of problems in bilateral relations between India and the United States - both trade surpluses and human rights violations. It is worth recalling that at one time personal sanctions were imposed against the current President of India, the United States for organizing pogroms against Muslims in Gujarat in 2002. He hardly forgot it. And the Indians have not forgotten that it was an American-made rocket that shot down their fighter over Kashmir.

    Difficult question, however. Everything must be considered as a whole. Of course, China is no ally for us. Their doctrine is the Far East, this is Chinese territory, where Russians and "not very high-quality" Chinese still live. China condemned the entry of our troops into Afghanistan, India reacted to this neutrally. We have much more ties with China, including military ones. India has no territorial claims to us, but they have constant problems with China. Both of these countries want us to be inclined to cooperate more with them. Well, we need to look at which of them listens to the United States more, in my opinion, India. And so, both countries have 1 billion population. In short, China will be stronger in all respects, but it is a country that has territorial claims against us and will try to squeeze them out of us as soon as possible.

    Mohapatra, no one places any hopes on China: they are quite cunning and two-faced. And then they are also good: they either let nonsense in print, then they refuse joint projects. Yes, and your speech degenerated only because the Chinese became scared. Every bullshit is trying to "beat" us. We expose ourselves as simple-minded in the light.

    Hindus are trying to enlist Russia's support in the conflict with China. Do we need it? The worst scenario is if an open confrontation between the two largest countries begins. This will definitely be the third world war. It is unlikely that any country will be left on the sidelines. But that would be a salvation for the United States. They will gladly support India. The Hindus must be calmed down.
