For meditation... Of course the most important variable in this equation is China, the second largest economy in the world. Though China has refrained from making inflammatory remarks in either direction throughout this crisis, and though Obama is actively attempting to push Beijing to side with the West, it would be naive to think that there was ever any real question as to which way they will swing when push comes to shove. China is in Russias corner, period. It is however, somewhat surprising to see India signaling their support for Moscow. Standing up to the U.S. geopolitically is out of character for India, but times are changing. The balance of economic power has been shifting gradually away from the West for many years, and now the political weight is shifting as well.
