    They are the same. The only difference is in its form.

    Glad we agree on this one.

    That is true. China's military power is concerning.

    India and China's relationship has always been ambivalent at best. India does have border disputes with China that go back for a very long time and yet with China being so close to India, India cannot help but still try to work with China on many issues. And with USA so far away and getting poorer, and with China getting richer and is willing to use $$ to woo it away from USA in its fight for world domination against the USA and the West, then why not? India, with its huge population, needs to get all the help it needs to feed its ever-growing population that they have no intention of curtailing. And besides from a cultural point of view, India does have more in common with China than with USA. They both have Buddhism as their principal religion. And they both produce math & science nerds. LOL

    And China does not have shenanigans?? LOL Oh well they will find out soon enough.

    Another thing that we agree on.

    Well last time I checked, Russia is white and it's still in BRICS. No it's East against the West and somehow Russia sees itself as belonging to the East. LOL

    Once again you don't know what you're talking about... The only eastern nation in BRICS is China. Only the US calls India an eastern country.
    What BRICS seeks is to take the US dollar out of their trading payment obligation. These are major population nations with extensive trading among themselves. There is no reason for them to trade in US dollars when that dollar is unstable. It grand time Americans understand what everyone else in the world knows, that America is only concerned about its own interest, like everybody else. It shines no light, isn't graced by a god, doesn't spread democracy, human rights and security to the world, unless it suits its specific interest.

    So you think India is a western country? LOL And it's exactly what I suspected. It's another One Belt One Road Initiative, to facilitate trading among themselves excluding the West. It's not the US dollars that are excluded, they are also excluding all of the Western nations that also do not use USD like the EU and Canada. Just calling it for what it is.

    And lastly, don't blame the US and the West when it's China who doesn't want to implement democracy. The US and the West has given China all the help you need throughout the ages since the 19th century. To hell with China and all the other "emerging economies", USA is done helping ungrateful beggars. It's interesting to note that the economies in all of these "emerging economies" in the BRIC became emerging all because of the help from US and the West. Without the help from the USA and the West, their economy would not be emerging at all. Do you REALLY think we need all these cheap imports from China and the rest of the emerging economies? We REALLY cannot grow our own crops or mop our own floors or clean our oven without those cheap gadgets from Temu? LOL Oh well, China has sucked enough milk from its teats it's able to give others milk now. LOL

    Russian is white the same way as Argentina and Brazil are white.

    Putin declared it is an Eurasia country, after NATO kicked it out of Europe.

    Putin raged about anglo saxon white in particular, namely US and UK, in his invasion speech.

    Yeah we do, if we want to keep buying cheap products. It would cost us 2-3 times to make the same items here what it does there because of our desperate need to provide a living wage in this country.

    You know this.

    EXACTLY!!! So you just proved my point. This is NOT about whites vs. non-whites. It's about East vs. West or more specifically NATO vs. non-NATO.

    Angola Saxon vs the rest of the world, to be exact.

    Wait for another 40 years when US is non white majority, see how this game ends.

    Well that's the problem. This is what everybody thinks which is not true. The products coming from these "emerging economies" may seem to be cheap but they are not. They came at the cost of our social welfare program in terms of unemployment benefits, food stamps, healthcare that we have to shell out due to displaced local labour as a result of these cheap imports. There is the cost of our research & development cost for our intangible properties lost due to forced technology transfer and theft that happened when we did business in China. And now looks like our sovereignty is in jeopardy with many of these "emerging economies" developing advanced weapons and even nuclear arsenals so now we have to shell out even more cost in our military development, a cost that we could've channeled into other areas that need desperate attention such as education, mental health, public security, infrastructure and local city development. Many cities in America are bankrupt as a direct result of these "cheap imports".

    So if you add all these costs together you can see, these "cheap" imports are not cheap. Next time, when you see a cheap gadget on Temu costing $4.55, remember they do not cost $4.55; the actual cost of that gadget is more like $40.55. It's a lot cheaper to buy local.
