Russia and China become part of strategic alliance: BRICS (Brazil,Russia,India,China,South Africa)
India Daily ^ | Feb. 16, 2005 | Sudhir Chadda

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese authorities decided to form the strategic alliance for defense, trade and energy. Russia will deliver oil to China and China will collaborate with Russia in Geopolitical strategic defense of Euresia.

Russia's Security Council and the Military Commission of the Chinese Communist Party's Politburo will form a forum and will work closely to make sure both countries can create and maintain the necessary military and political infrastructure as well as coordination.

According to some international think tanks, sources close to Russia's Security Council say recommending countermeasures to check the U.S. geopolitical "offensive" in Eurasia will be perhaps the forum's most important job.

China and Russia are planning joint military exercises. The joint naval maneuvers are scheduled to be held in August in China's Liaodong Peninsula.

Distinctly the world is broken into definite alliances. The first is the US led alliance (thirty or so countries providing military in Iraq). The second one is the European Alliance. There is a considerable overlap between NATO, EU and US led alliance.

The third emerging alliance is BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The newly formed Russia-China alliance provides Putin the necessary critical mass to move ahead and formally create the BRICS alliance.

Recently Brazil moved ahead and formed a business alliance with Venezuela. China and Russia also formed alliance with Venezuela. In spite of Washington’s opposition, Russia plans to provide defense hardware to Venezuela and nuclear reactors to Iran.

India is watching closely Washington’s decision on providing Pakistan with F16. Delivering F16 to Pakistan will make India take a U-turn from its pro-world posture. The Congress party in India has very close relations with Kremlin for many years.

Putin’s current goal is to create the strategic BRIC alliance that will eventually become the strongest trade and military block in the world.

Bush Administration will not sit idle either. Dr. Rice, the current US Secretary of State will take counter measures specially trying to bring India, Pakistan, South Africa and Brazil into US alliances.

The possibility of another cold war between US led alliance and the BRICS looms in the horizon.

The Europeans will act initially as a keeper of the middle ground. The cold war will not be similar to one between America and old Soviet Union. While Putin is putting together the BRICS alliance, he does shy away from meeting US President George Bush. There will be cordial relations between China and America, India and America as well as Russia and America. The covert war will be in the area of trade, commerce and finance. That is where India and China stand out. Russian oil is a great factor. Russia-Venesuela-Iran forms CRICS mail oil and Gas resource.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

This is the same source that publishes about secret UFO bases in the Himalayas.

Absolutely nothing in it should be taken seriously. Makes DEBKA look like the Wall Street Journal.

The only truethful part. Others are just speculations.
Russia doesn't ally with China. But China is the neibor of Russia.
Who needs problems with big neibor? So Russia just make peace.

"Putin’s current goal is to create the strategic BRIC alliance that will eventually become the strongest trade and military block in the world."

The moment any alliance with China in it becomes the dominant military force in the world, the Europeans will be kissing American ass like their lives depend on it and NATO will suddenly become important again. Nothing can touch the combined military power of NATO, not even this so-called BRICS alliance. In the end, the balance of power will be with the free world.

The Master of the Universe should be the ultimate arbiter of the balance of power between the nations.

A Messianic Government could facilitate this process.

Any takers out there ?

BRICS already exists but primarily as a lobbying group to preserve the interests of these countries at the WTO(all of them have similar interests)-all the talk of a strategic alliance between these nations has been going on for ages-YAWN!!

FYI-News Update on thread:

Russia, China to Conduct Joint Military Exercises: Putin
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, NOVO-OGAREVO, Russia

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said June 30 during a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao that joint Russian-Chinese military exercises will take place later this year.

”Cooperation in the military-technical sphere and cooperation in the purely military sphere is in the process of expanding. This year we expect for the first time for many years to have joint military exercises,” he said in Novo-Ogarevo, outside Moscow, after greeting the Chinese president.

Hu arrived earlier June 30 for a four-day visit to Russia.

Russian news agencies have quoted military sources as saying that the exercises will be dubbed “Friendship 2005” and will take place in August.

Hu welcomed what he said was a “positive tendency” in relations between the two giant neighbors, welcoming the fact that border issues have been “definitively resolved.”
