The Russian Rise

If the West seems to be maintaining the stand that Russia invited its own international isolation owing to its deep cut throat policies ,these are just mere signs of shivers across the west and what better can explain them than the 'Russian rise' itself. The justifications of cold war ending with the Soviet unions break up was a gimmick from the west's hat which wanted to assure itself that it was not haunted by the ghosts of the Soviet union which now comes in the form of Russia . If one thinks the Russian economy began to rise during the Putin era ,then one might be mistaken to think so as the revival had well started during the Boris Yeltsin term itself ,though the results not visible then , he certainly saw the future and tailored it perfectly for it be a supreme power to reckon with once again ,though this has been time consuming , the results are showing gradually.

The 'Georgia episode' marked the end of attempted diplomacy from the Russian side towards the west which hardly took part in the Georgian issue and rather looked to be on the other side negating the Russian interests. Now that post coldwar era seems to be ending , another cold war seems to be on the cards . The middleeast would be one region looking forward to a stable Russia in order to counterattack the west , certainly this would imply the beginning of a whole new picture in all

Impact on India -- now the nuclear deal certainly doesn't just signify a historic deal , it adds to the already boiling scenario, the United states played its cards by galloping an emerging power in its bandwagon (India) , and the old allie of the Soviet union seems to have parted ways with it at a time when the friendship could have been mutually beneficial . But for the deal's sake I would say that the ties with the United states would hopefully bring laurels to our country ,but we need to be cautious as our new allie has had a ill reputed past for deserting its allies after its use, hopefully we dont join that club...
