Fellow FRiends, there have been quite a few threads on FR about the new potential axis between China-India-Russia. Many have said, that this axis poses the next evil in the world the US has to confront. Others, like me have stated that the Chinese and Indians are just not compatible. All you have to do is travel to places like Vancouver, Canada (large Indian and Chinese population), Hong Kong, etc. In any of these places, the two cultures do not mix. They are a complete cultural misfit.
I have posted a comedy routine by an Indian comic (Russell Peters - yeah I know strange name for an Indian!) that explains what I mean. Check it out.

Ping...check out this comedy routine...and thanks for all your amazingly funny posts.
Check this out fellas....
It does not take a lot of effort to find news articles detailing how all three countries are not happy with a world of only one superpower.
Ditto finding news articles detailing how Russia is trying to form a coalition among the three (and more).
This recent Times of India editorial details some facts about India's road to the status of a developed nation and superpowerdom.

India has got a long way to go and is likely way ahead of China but maybe trails Russia in per capita income.
All three have WMD and the means to deliver them, especially Russia and China.
That's all that made the Soviet Union a "superpower."
Yes, there is a possibility that China-India-Russia will come to realize that together is the only way they can keep the U.S. from becoming even stronger while they work out their individual problems over the next one hundred years. IMO. They don't have to love each other.
For all the alliance talk, I dont think it will come to that.
India might never be a US ally (like UK), but India and US are trying hard to become "partners"... going thru terrific growth pains while doing so.
Interesting times ahead.
Thanks. Very clever!
