Geopolitics/Geoeconomics Thread - June 2015

I briefly talked about the dynamics of R U I C. There is a slight shift happening after DJT / Russia meet at Alaska. Putin and DJT are trying to wrap up Ukraine conflict (on Putin's terms mostly). This leaves the EU and U relationship at odds for a long time. Poor Zels he is relegated to picking up the pieces from the R U tussle. The side effect is that C and R, who were together due to Ukraine with C trying to dictate to R certain terms and conditions, is now at stake. The Alaska tete-a-tete has pushed C into another friendless juncture. Both U and R settling Ukraine leaves C all alone with nothing to lean upon. Perhaps this caused C to reach out to I and anchor something on the eco front at least. Pak is now effectively shunned by C due to Pak and U being pals again. Now the interesting thing is that I and U seem to be initially at odds due to R but R and U are on track to resolve Ukraine, which effectively means the triangle of R U I is being bolstered to the chagrin of C. The U I relationship is going to be driven by factors other than what the US Deep State faction wanted and this is rather vexsome for them. R will try to clinch some more major strategic partnership with I by taking in all favorable windfall factors into consideration. For I it is tails I win, heads I win scenario.

I am told by an ex-Somalian that Türkiye now controls Somalia. I’ll try to find other sources.

@bala ji, aap ke muh mein ghee shakkar. But that is overly optimistic IMHO. Hope even half of what are predicting comes true. One of the immediate problems for Bharat right now is what to do with Tejas which needs the GE engines.
