Worlds Apart | Eye of the tiger? - Srikanth Kondapalli

2 years ago

Historically, Europe has been the center stage for humanity’s longest and bloodiest wars and judging by the recent events in and over Ukraine, that epoch may not be fully over. Asia, on the other hand, despite its enormous diversity, has seen relatively few grassroots conflicts — much of the strife it has witnessed was inflamed or exported from outside. But as the East continues to gain in strength and the West continues to flounder, can the Asian tigers keep themselves from becoming too territorial? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Srikanth Kondapalli, Professor of Chinese Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University.

  • Ukraine is not a "very small" country. It is number 45 out of 195 by area and number 36 by population. It's number 8 out of 51 European countries.

  • Your guest is more economist, he may don't know much about politics. China and USA are at teade-War . USA tries to counter (contain) China proof is AUKUS alliance + fearmongering and arming Taiwan. Just because China have big volume of trade with USA this is not an indicator of good relations between the two . Russia is still trading with the EU + USA this doesn't mean they have a good relations.

  • Russia had intended a blitzkrieg on Kiev and to murder the present government and put in a puppet government but it all went wrong and gave Ukraine time to get arms from the West, now its all a terrible mess and Russia can't back down as Putin will lose face and being a short man with a complex about it he cannot take.

  • This guest is delusional when it comes to US-China and is stuck in the unipolar mindset when it comes to development. Finance capitalism will lead any developing country to entrenched inequality and social unrest. India cannot afford to go that way. Rethinking needed for these dinosaurs.

  • America and maybe / hopefully the UK will be the only winners of what is coming America is food and fuel-secure, there is no other country on this planet except for maybe Russia that has this security. After that its all about demographics, Russia is a doomed country, within 30 years it probably will not even be able to field an army, the birth rate is collapsing, life expectancy, mostly through alcoholism is crashing, and anyone with half a brain leaves as soon as they are able. China is short of everything, plus the demographic means China's population will half within 30/40 years, its currency like the Russian is collapsing If what is coming doesn't go nuclear, then the only survivor will be the USA , Canada , maybe Australia and hopefully the mother country to all of these countries the UK
