Geopolitical Chessboard: Quad's Unity Cracks Under Pressure
The Quad's recent U.S.-hosted meeting dropped all pretenses—openly targeting China as a 'threat' to global stability. 🌐 But here's the twist: India is calling the shots, forcing the alliance to juggle contradictions.
While the U.S. cracks down on Russian oil imports globally, India’s purchases surged 13-fold since 2022, hitting $2.8B this year. 💸 Prime Minister Modi’s post-election Russia visit deepened energy ties, directly undermining Western sanctions—and the Quad’s 'moral high ground.'
Why Can’t the Quad Push Back? 🤔
Analysts say the group's survival depends on keeping India onboard. 🇮🇳 With India simultaneously chairing the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)—a bloc covering 40% of humanity—its strategic ambiguity leaves the Quad walking on eggshells. 🥚
🔑 Bottom line: This alliance is only as strong as its weakest link. And right now, that link is rewriting the rules.
