Burma to help India? You don’t have the best of understandings when it comes to the region do you? :-)

Don’t take it the wrong way but the only countries India can count on are Israel with tacit support coming from the US (since recent times) and the UK.

Russia is a wild card here. I don’t really know what they will do.
1) They have a festering Islamic problem so they may sit it out and even allow NATO air and land access to reach Afghanistan because the Pakistan route will be out of the question. They may even threaten China to stay out of the war.
2) They may provide urgent deliveries of arms and missiles to India since they have traditionally been a supplier.
3) This may be the turning point when Russia sides with the Islamists and joins China in taking on India and her allies.

How much pull does the Russian Orthodox Church have to prevent this?
