He discusses the state of India-Russia relations and India’s power in the world today, the RELOS Agreement and why the US failed to break away India from Russia, the limits of US power proven by the war on Iran, whether the US can continue hampering Russia’s oil exports by cancelling waivers, why India will define the future of the Quad, the importance of the upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi and why it is time to strengthen its institutions, the state of Russia’s campaign in the proxy war against NATO in Ukraine, his prediction for when the war will end, and much more.
