Russia’s war on Ukraine may be stalling, but that didn’t stop Vladimir Putin from staging a massive military drill with some help from his friends.
The week long exercise at seven locations on land and sea involved 50,000 troops – Russians side by side with forces from China, India, and countries still further afield.
The two Asian giants also get favorable mention in Putin’s new “Russian World” foreign policy doctrine.
So we’re asking: „Russia’s war games with China and India: The start of a global arms race?”

3:56 question: what was India doing at the party ?
Response: because it was important for Putin.
So India has no say ? India attends the party because Putin finds it important.
These guys haven’t known anything about India nor the current realities and thought process of India.
Pathetic that this panelist see everything on planet earth revolving around US (with allies) and Russia.
India makes independent decisions.
Not just today, even when we were sanctioned by the west for the nuclear test decades ago, and other occasions when west was hostile to India. Why would any sane person believe India would attend this war exercise because Putin finds it important !?!?!?
Yes India will do what's best for it's security, who is west to lecture.
WW3?
So they all agree with each other on everything…. Very fruitful discussion 😒
What about adani news no cover ?
Russia 🇷🇺 India 🇮🇳
West can't dictate india….india take decision on its own interests
India , China isn't US Puppet like European countries
Well, you thought it would be safe to tag along the American empire's psychotic war against Russia, now face the consequences.
US strengthen Chinna after 1971 war, where Russian helped India and US helped Pakistan. Kissinger then visited chinna and given technology. Chinna took advantage and spied millerty technology. Now it not listening US, great mistake by US and Europe.
joined what. a tea party and not an armyalliance with algeria syria and nacaragwa
no gas for you/ reduced wheat 4 u. less energy from france
India? I thought India was a NATO member?
Putin dectatership regim will fall down soon 🔜
Viva Russia

Viva India
Russia – India friends forever and no one have power to break this strong alliance………….West n EU only bark but never try to this…….😂😂😂
India is putin lap dog
War Games?? What has the USA been playing for the last 80 years? Those are real and risky war games
Russia: the glue that holds China and India together
" India buying Russian oil and selling some of it " ? Correction India do buy Russian Oil but no India dosen't sell it back after buying the oil , India with it's size and population would have to be crazy to sell the oil like that lol
Bring indian expert, they don't seem to know indo-russ history
it seems Sara pagong doesn't like Indian rise
I mean we have an alliance so it's only fair they do too. And I'm anti communist even.
Let Russia dream India never involve in block where China is seating.
In long run for entire world China is threat not Russia.
Its only jealousy of India anchor showcasing.
The image of Modi, Putin and Xi was captured in 2015 is irrelevant in 2022 geo politics.
Europe can not afford and survive without Russian energy.
Nobody really knows what's happening in its own country and you think that you know what other countries are doing. Puppet world. The big players are pulling the strings.
The USA can take on all these militaries at the same time. The Russians cant even handle 12 HIMARS launchers lol
Who is consuming people's trust? who is bully people? now u blame people against government!
The more I hear to western media the more I find rhem to be totally deluded
lets group together the poorest weakest people around, that'll be effective!
Putin is not against any European countries…but only for USA….
Pehle jaake gas aur oil kharido chutiyo.
Leave big game to big bois
So russia writing itself in as a protector is a play by play imitation of American Geopolitical rhetoric, no? When has the world order not been might equals right? The victors wright history for christ sakes.
very suspicious
they don't care what you all think. they are too powerful it seems.
The middle guy is squeezing both of their hands equally equally. That should be a clear sign that they are an alliance. They're behaving like an alliance. But then again what do I know right I only predicted this war.
INDIA IS NOT PART OF NAVAL SIDE war games as JAPAN IS VERY CLOSE PARTNER OF INDIA . WE PARTICIPATED DUE TO RUSSIAN BROTHER WHO BY INDIA IN 1971 WAR ALL WARS.

King and. still a Kong
If we truly believe in democracy than the world needs 'Check and Balance'. An Unipolar world would just invite corruption. Because in a Unipolar world, the USA hold absolute power and we know absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I fear a world war brewing fairly quickly.
opening line: "rusias war in ukraine may be stalin'" XDXD
Is he descendent of Felix Yusopov ?
Excellent panel, excellent analysis and excellent moderator. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this. As an analyst in the field, I love to see it and it will make my job of informing infinitely easier when the press avoids sensationalism and really gets to the core of the issues at hand and the true nature of the problems we face as a global community.
Side note: Mongolia is not a suporter of Russian policy. They just dont want to be swallowed by Russia or China.
I think India role in the exercise is to spying against China's military capability. 😁😅😆😂
Russia and India are the eternal enemies of China.China never wholeheartedly helps Russia to counter the West sanctions.
This is desperated Putin show off.
Why are these talking heads suddenly going out of their way to pronounce his name “Poo-teeeeen”
Russia is in a bad place and China knows it.
