Russia is getting weakened , Armenia getting banged every few months and Russia cant do anything. most likely US will start meddling there soon .
Syria's Assad is already looking for support other than Russia - Turks will make a move there too .
These childish lgbt memes are great but reality is US military is still top . only people who can outmatch them is the Chinese but even they are decades away.
QUAD needs India - India needs QUAD to balance out China . i think we will use whatever tools necessary including QUAD to balance out everyone including the US.That's not how it works.. As GOI follows a hyper realist policy, US too would be inclined to do the same w.r.t India.. By the time the Ukraine war ends, US might not need India at all in the Indo-Pacific to contain China, with India losing what little leverage it has over US.
Now, the Ukraine war has led to the re-assertion of US hegemony over Europe, and a severe weakening of EU - Russia relations, and has severely constrained Russia's long term choices. In the coming years, NATO's eastern flank will be heavily militarized, with Poland as a hyper militarized power in Central Europe.. The current string of Russian setbacks in Ukraine, and the US Lend lease being activayed yesterday, suggest that Ukraine will neither be demilitarized nor denazified(I.e. Ukranian nationalists thrown out of power).. Russian military potential and its ability to project military power in its neighborhood like in Ce tral Asia, Azerbaijan- Armenia, Syria will continue to weaken, the longer the Ukranian conflict rages on..
So, increased defense spending and bigger European force deployments facing Russia, and a weakened Russia, would free lots of American economic and military resources, which would be directed towards China.. thus, severely degrading India's military utility to the US..
