Maybe it'll be more at home here. Thanks. Let me

You did not notice but the third world war started – it is the fight for dominance in oil and trade
http://www.energybulletin.net/3961.htmlThe third world war is about oil and trade. Three major blocks have emerged. The first is the Americans with some allies like Australia, Japan and so on. The second is
BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China). The third is the European Union. The triangle of international politics is complex and a diplomatic challenge for all head of states. For example India is the process of a tug of war between the Bush led Americans and the Putin led BRIC. China is definitely in BRIC quarter. Russia is leading the BRIC with its big oil reserve. Brazil is in similar situation as India but they are leaning towards BRIC because of Chinese imports of Brazilian grain and other agricultural products. India is scared to antagonize the Americans. They love earning American dollars and Euros by exporting English speaking educated bodies or services to the West. But the heart of India is with the BRIC. Self respect and independence is very important in India. If you leave out the Indian oligarchs in the field of call centers, Information Technologies who make money by exploiting young educated people (a modern version of high tech slave trading), the rest of the country is pro-BRIC. India is also concerned about the ‘Pakistani nuisance effect” – Pakistan is not really a threat in any sense but can be a perpetual nuisance to deal with. For earning easy money based on H1 temporary work visas in America and so called providing outsourcing services and keeping Pakistani ambition in check, India just cannot antagonize the Americans. Also these Indian oligarchs fund the election of all the political parties. The Indian oligarchs control all the political parties. And as long as Americans keep providing outsourcing money to these oligarchs, India will stay neutral

Not a mispelling. Brazil Russian India China is a coalition that Vladmir Putin wants to put together. This is just another example of how deluded we are by Rice's Polite-A-Thon in Europe last week.
They don't trust us. No one does. And the world is not only not waiting for us to get nice again, they're actively cutting us off.
Russian President Putin is taking a lead role in putting together the most powerful coalition of regional and superpowers in the world. The coalition consists of India, China, Russia and Brazil. This will challenge the superpower supremacy of America as well as the European Union. The Chinese are concerned about American and European influence over the world. So is India, Brazil and Russia.... However, Putin has bigger ambitions: He wants to establish a long-term Russian footprint in Latin America in order to expand Moscow's geopolitical influence in the region.
