Russia can now have access to all the engineers trained at US universities. They will also soon have a Quickie Mart on every corner.

S. Africa yes

Brazil no. Brazil has been investing heavily in infrastructure to grow their economy and they now have a top 10 military. They’re a sleeper power and have the potential to be a rival power to the US in the Western Hemisphere. They have a large population and plenty of resources

absolutely not. Brazil’s military is a total joke. Their navy and air force (aka the two services they would actually need in a conflict against the United States) are a complete joke. Brazil isn’t even the best military in South America.

And all of that aside--Brazil is a formal ally of the United States.

So does Indonesia and Nigeria. Do you suggest those countries are a threat to the United States?

The Russia>India>China relationship is a bit complicated by the animosity between China and India but if they ever get past that we are legitimately fricked.

I don't understand this line of thinking. Are the Chinese and Indians going to march their hordes of impoverished civilians across the Pacific Ocean and defeat the US via swarm attack?

The concern is mostly economic and strategic. India is a great counter to China because it is the second most populated country that happens to be close by China but separated by a substantial mountain range. India would help keep China out of the Indian Ocean. India refusing to go to a yuan reserve standard would significantly delay China’s takeover of global reserve control.

Once again the short sighted nature of this administration leads to another L……I can’t believe you fricking Progressives can’t see your Unicorn Farts and Rainbow Dust dreams are just that….fiction. We won’t have a country to save if you keep with this Green New Deal pipedream.

India knows there is about to be a major food shortage so they have to cozy up to Russia for their wheat because Simple Joe won’t give them any because we are about have massive civil unrest in this country due to the biggest food shortage in modern US history.

India and China will never be "aligned" on military or foreign affairs.

Brazil and S. Africa are both closer to being failed states than be a threat to anyone in any capacity.

AND--the only thing that Russia and China are aligned on is countering US influence. There are deep historical and geographical issues between the two and they will not be aligned forever.

There is no need for the fear porn.


You sir are naive at best and delusional at worst. History is full of countries that put aside differences to defeat a common adversary!

Biden doesn't have any control over what is going on now. So this damn sure isn't part of his "handlers" overall plan.

Admittedly, I have very little knowledge or understanding of how our oil companies operate. Having said that, from an average citizen's perspective this looks as though we will have more oil for our own consumption since we're not selling any to India. If so, that's a win for us.
