Will Russia support India in the India-China war?
America supports of India, but Russia currently adopted 'neutrality' policy in the India-China controversy
JUNE 26 (WTN) - As you are aware, due to the ongoing tension in Galwan Valley, the 'apprehension' of war between India and China is being expressed. However, both India and China have committed that every dispute will be resolved through 'negotiation'. But India, betrayed by China in 1962, is fully prepared for any kind of 'deception' attack of China, rather than relying on any 'assurance' by the Chinese leftist government.
Now, if there is a war between India and China, then the big question is, which country of the world will support India? Talk about America and Russia, the two great superpowers of the Cold War, so the question in everyone's mind is that if India has a war with China, will these two countries support India or not?
As far as America is concerned, America will openly support India in India's war with China. In fact, tensions between the US and China have been at a height for many years. For your information, let's know that China and the United States are at the height of conflict on many issues, including trade war, Coronavirus epidemic, Chinese dominance in the South China Sea, and Hong Kong movement.
America does not want China to be powerful in South Asia and the Indian Ocean. That is why the United States stands openly in support of India in the ongoing dispute between India and China to 'balance' the growing power of China. But because of the fear of war between Bharat and China, America is going to shift its troops present in Europe to Asia. At the same time, the US can divert its warships to Asia if needed.
Now, come to Russia, the second major power during the time of the Cold War, so what will be the position of Russia in the situation of war between India and China is a big question. However, as of now, Russia has made it clear that it does not want to interfere in the ongoing 'dispute' between India and China. But the big question is that if there is a war between India and China after the dispute, then in this situation, with whom will Russia support?
However, based on the historical relationship between India and Russia, you may be thinking that if India has a military conflict with any country, Russia will openly 'support' India. But to think so would be wrong and hurried. At the time of the Doklam dispute in 2017, Russia adopted a policy of 'neutrality'. However, Russia supported India in the 1971 war against Pakistan. But before that, Russia did not support India in the 1962 war against China.
For your information, let's know that the ideology of both Russia and China has been leftist. It is natural that due to the equality in the ideology, it can be said that in the situation of war between India and China, Russia will openly support China. At the same time, according to Russian political experts, at this time, Russia is not as economically powerful as it was before. In such a situation, Russia is in great need of China's financial help at this time. So it can be assumed that during the time of war, Russia should not side with India.
Well, as you know, there has been a lot of old 'enmity' between America and China. In such a situation, if the US supports India in the war between India and China, then Russia will have three options.
The first option is that Russia would support India. But this is not possible because Russia would not like to share a boat with the US, and Russia would not want to take directly 'enmity' with China. Another option for Russia is to openly support China. But if Russia does so, it would have to confront the US directly. But now Russia is not in the previous position to openly come against America. At the same time, in the time of the Coronavirus crisis, Russia would not want to 'annoy' other countries by openly supporting China. So, now the third option is that if there is a war between India and China, then China would completely be neutral.
