Russia, China, India: Trilateral Axis?

One of the major signs of Bush's failed foreign policy is that he has driven Russia, India and China into each other's arms. It is probably true that new alliances were going to be formed eventually but Bush's aggressive foreign policy speeded up events by years, if not decades.

Here's the latest development on this story from India's Tribune:

India and Russia today supported their trilateral axis with China, but opposed Beijing’s January 11 testing of an anti-satellite missile saying that they were against militarisation of space.

President Putin went on to the extent of saying that some powers (read the USA) were trying to militarise space. “We should not let the genie out of the bottle. That is our position,” Mr Putin said at a joint press interaction with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after their formal talks.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin held the seventh Indo-Russian summit with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at Hyderabad House here this afternoon, it was clear that the two giant countries’ decades-old-strategic ties were taken to a significantly higher level.

We have business with Russia, China and India but Bush doesn't do much. We have business with our allies in Europe and Japan and Bush doesn't do much. We clearly have business with our enemies and that business may be the most important of all and still Bush doesn't do much (actually he doesn't do anything but he expects our remaining friends to do something). Our position in the world is weakening, our credibility is sagging and still George W. Bush sits on his hands when it comes to diplomatic talks and real leadership in world affairs. And President Bush still has right wing friends singing his praises in the media. Time is growing short. The only question is how many Republicans will join Democrats into pushing President Bush back into America's role as the world's diplomat and changing course before he gives us a wider war.
