Next week’s virtual summit will secure the support of the Global South for India's permanent UNSC seat while the conclusion of its G20 chairmanship in September will do the same with respect to the Golden Billion.
As has now become clear, this article sticks to the somewhat tiresome repetitiousness that infects all A K articles. And the same pro-India, anti-China biases that even an Indian born person like me can find unrealistic.

And India is unquestionably being used by the Golden Billion elite as a counter to China.. We know from a recent US article about the major communal fault line (200 Muslims in India) that the CIA has issued a subtle threat to India that it can only go so far in its 'neutrality' before nasty things might be triggered - directly or via the ISI or Al Shabab or whomever.

The US is upto all its usual filthy crimes in Xinjiang, Taiwan and Hong Kong against China, and the seemingly unlimited financing and arming of Ukrainian Nazis will not stop or even lessen.
The key for all of this to succeed, including the lower priority goal of India getting a UNSC seat - is for Russia to decisively crush the Ukrainian proxy.
