The geopolitical situation is undergoing rapid change, especially in Asia. It seems that the world’s declining superpower, the US, does not wish to see a peaceful and stable Asia. The trade war between the US and China is not a routine matter – it was carefully planned, calculated and executed. It is in place for the US to remain the global economic superpower. But it might lead to destabilization of the global economy.
The situation in the South China Sea is on the back burner but any misadventure could increase tensions that might lead to a conflict engulfing the whole Pacific Ocean.
Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a regional power, is moving closer to Russia. China and Russia are strengthening the bonds of cooperation and friendship; the emergence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and many other regional alliances is part of the changing geopolitics in Asia.
The US is losing its popularity because of its hostile policies and is suffering isolation globally. Once the moral leader of the civilized world, it has become a laughing stock under the presidency of Donald Trump. Even longtime close allies are disappointed and keeping a distance from the US. The United Nations too is losing its due role and has failed to maintain its charter in many cases.
India understands well the dynamics of all such changes and is trying to gain as much as possible. It has become a Major Defense Partner (MDP) with the US. It is getting assistance in high tech and emerging technologies. India has acquired the latest weapons as well as economic assistance. It has become the biggest beneficiary of US foreign aid after Israel.
However, India has kept its options open and may not follow US policies in true spirit. It will most probably continue its trade with Iran, hence defying US-imposed sanctions. It is a fact that India depends on Iranian oil, along with other countries. Let’s wait and see how the US implements its sanctions on India. Will the US allow all other countries to continue to import oil from Iran or will it only grant a special concession for India?
India has succeeded in obtaining MDP status with the US but has also rebooted relations with Russia. India has once again become the beneficiary of Russian weapons and is going to get the S-400 missile system. Turkey was punished and had its request to acquire F-35 fighter jets delayed because of its interest in the Russian S-400 but India is given an exemption. Why this special treatment!?
India is acquiring technologies to suppress Kashmiris and expanding its military ties with Israel, while getting all possible benefits from the Arab world.
India openly opposes China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The BRI is focused on upgrading infrastructure, connectivity and people-to-people contacts and enhancing cultural harmony. It is meant to reinvigorate economic activities and promote prosperity in the region. India, in spite of opposing it, is still a beneficiary of its funding through the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
Keeping in mind India’s policy of grabbing opportunity from anywhere to further its interests may be fruitful and succeed in the short term, but in the longer run, the saying “everybody’s friend is nobody’s friend” may come true and no country may trust India as a true ally.
Pakistan was closely allied to the West during the entire Cold War era and was a frontline state in America’s “war on terror,” sacrificing 70,000 precious lives with an estimated net loss of around US$250 billion in economic terms. What have we Pakistanis gotten in return from the US, and the West in general?
It is time to think and rethink, think smartly and act proactively. Our intellectuals and scholars need to advise our leadership on the true situation and help them devise appropriate policies. Whatever we sow today, our next generation will reap tomorrow.
Perry, you worship self-serving rants of a savage gangster as message from God.
Desperate Pakistani! Full you emotions, please control it otherwise tears come from your eyes…
We haven’t done any damage to Pakistan but Pakistan itself has damage themselves, their economy, their credibility is lost because of terrorism he spread in the world and it’s nabhouring countries…they want to snatch others happiness and prosperity but instead he is paying for that…

Your polarised viewpoints and perplexing indications of clear misinterpretations on current geopolitical movements, with an overwhelming attempt to sympathise with hardline nations which have been clear violates of basic human rights, while trying to plagmatize the readers viewpoint towards India is but a vague attempt sir.
So sit back, and watch us grow with the world; together, united.

Typical Paki Dhimmi of China, singing paeans on China.
India has traditionally been a non aligned sovereign country, always standing on side of moral values. Unlike Pakistan which always flip flop, pawning its sovereignty for alms from other countries. So yes, this author being from Pakistan, may never understand concepts of sovereignty.

It’s amusing to reach this article and claims but then it’s reflection on how poor the porkis are educated and why they are not CEO’s and Business Leaders. India receives very less Aid from any country now and most Aid is given in terms of credit or trade discounts.
India gives money to IMF and like porkis we don’t go begging across the globe

Perry you have such low IQ that one can only pity you. In last 5000 years India has never attacked any country and perused force to take others land. It long many of its own to invaders from Persian gulf to the south east Asia, so it’s policy has always been self reliant And interested in regional peace.
Even in modern era when we had opportunity to effectively take land from Srilanka during the civil war we did not respected the countries integrity and sacrificed our shoulders in bringing peace there, loosing our own PM as a price to peace.
In 1971 too we could have desired to control or dictate terms to new country Bangladesh or looser pakistan to redraw maps in our favour but we did not as we believed in dialogue n negotiations rather then war or confrontation. We succeeded in negotiating settlement with Bangladesh by giving more than what we got to make peace n secured our borders.
Even with pakistan we have been patient like a father with stupid ignorant child. We occupied huge land in 1965 war and 90k soilders in 1971 war and we still signed peace deals and agreed to talk And resolve issues without force. The Tashkent Agreement and Shimla Agreements are proof of that policy.
While in both cases we again lost a great leader as price for peace as our adversaries played tricks to win by treachery what they lost in war.
Indian track record in last 70 years have been on a trusted elder statesman in the region without interfering in others political problems and supporting no gangs.
So your inference of people not trusting India has not grounds or facts but lots of fiction and lack of knowledge.

While reading the headlines my first reaction was that the author must be a pakistani and it was dejavu to see that being true.
The author talks about India taking advantage about current global power play as if it’s doing something it is not entitled with and should be stopped, same mindset and argument you hear from daily debates in most pakistani channels where Generals occupy the chair of intellectuals and international experts.
The best answer to the author is recent UNHRC elections where India got double the votes then needed to get elected. This is the reality of its effective diplomatic and trust in the world.
India has a long history of non aligned movement and it took equal advantage from both camps without joining Any and those loyal servants of the superpowers are ruined because of overjelous participation.
If we look at our neighbourhood and world power game then we know the reality that best defence is offence and current govt has been able to effectively arm the country for its future requirements and strategic direction.
What is more Important is India’s ability to balance power equation And still become trusted partner with all sides this could only happen when you have a credible record in playing with honesty and national interest.
India has the right mind and heart to be a good democrasy and regional power with no interest in other countries territories while most of its disputes are false claims by other neighbours.
India has rightly decided to be independent player rather then be a client state servicing superpower because we know begging never made anyone rich.

Mr. Awan,
You forgot to finish the sentence
"we pakistanis have sacrificed so much that we had to sacrifice our own land for Osama."
Before barking on India look in the mirror first.
