DIVORCING THE WEST

Unknown commented on "Russia and Turkey versus Israel-USA?"

China would potentially support its longtime ally, Russia.

At which point - depending on China’s level of involvement and support — developing countries worldwide, including in South Asia (India), Africa, and Latin America, may conclude that they’d be better off ‘divorcing’ the West and aligning with the China-Russia axis on the issue of Palestine-Israel and potentially other issues as well.

The actual or tacit support that many developing countries traditionally give to the ‘Western imperialists’ seems to be less a matter of shared principles or ideology, and more a case of it seeming to be in their economic interests. You normally want to keep the ‘big boys’ — the bullies, if you like — on side.

But as China continues to exert more global influence and the China-Russia alliance becomes more important, the calculus for some developing countries is likely to change.
