The Stage Is Set For A US-Instigated Security Dilemma Between The Eurasian Rimland & Heartland<\/span><\/p>\n

US-backed NATO, Pakistan, and the \u201cAsian\/Containment Crescent\u201d of Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines are poised to respectively face off against Russia, India, and China across this century.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The US is sending mixed signals about the\u00a0Sino<\/a>–Russo<\/a>\u00a0Entente<\/a>, which was strengthened by the\u00a0Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline deal<\/a>, after Trump said in September that he\u2019s \u201cnot concerned<\/a>\u201d about it while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth claimed that he ordered him to \u201cre-establish deterrence<\/a>\u201d against them. As was argued\u00a0here<\/a>, \u201cTrump 2.0\u2019s Eurasian Balancing Act Has Failed\u201d largely as a result of this development, which importantly involved India\u2019s tacit approval amidst its\u00a0rapprochement with China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Far from remaining divided, principally as regards China and India with all the complications that their continued rivalry would entail for Russia\u2019s own balancing act, Eurasia\u2019s three most powerful\u00a0civilization-states<\/a>\u00a0are increasingly coming together to revive their dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) format. <\/strong>This platform is significant on its own but it\u2019s also crucially the core of BRICS and the SCO, which play complementary roles in gradually transforming global governance as explained\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These RIC-accelerated multipolar processes can\u2019t be countered through direct military force, however, but the way in which the Pentagon might try to slow everything down is through provoking arms races. NATO\u2019s,\u00a0Pakistan<\/a>\u2019s, and the \u201cAsian\/Containment Crescent\u2019s\u201d (Japan-Taiwan-Philippines) US-backed military buildups (partial in Pakistan\u2019s case) could help achieve this vis-\u00e0-vis Russia, India, and China as could reinforced US military presences (or a formal return in Pakistan\u2019s case) in each.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the \u201cGolden Dome<\/a>\u201d, intermediate-range missile deployments in their regions, and more militarization of outer space can place additional pressure on Russia and China to this end, though these moves could also backfire by enhancing those two\u2019s military-technical coordination too. To be clear, Russia and China aren\u2019t allies that would go to war for one another, but their shared military-security and strategic interests raise the chances that they\u2019ll provide support for the other during wartime.<\/p>\n

China has thus far eschewed sending military-technical aid to Russia due to its complex interdependence with the West, <\/strong>but Trump\u2019s tariff war, his accusation that President Xi Jinping is \u201cconspiring<\/a>\u201d against the US, and the Pentagon\u2019s plans for the \u201cAsian\/Containment Crescent\u201d might prompt a recalculation. In a similar spirit, Russia might become comfortable sharing\u00a0cutting-edge military-technical knowledge<\/a>\u00a0with China to counterbalance US moves in\u00a0Japan<\/a>, which could extend to their shared North Korean ally too.<\/p>\n

Although the\u00a0lion\u2019s share<\/a>\u00a0of Pakistan\u2019s military-technical equipment comes from China, the US might break into this market if Chinese exports decrease due to the Sino-Indo rapprochement, which could also lead to a decrease in American exports to India and the need to replace them with exports to Pakistan.<\/strong> Russia might even regain its traditional role as India\u2019s top supplier by far if exports to it spike in response to more US exports to Pakistan in a de facto revival of the region\u2019s Old Cold War-era military dynamics.<\/p>\n

All of these strategic dynamics set the stage for a security dilemma between the Eurasian Rimland (NATO, Pakistan, and the \u201cAsian\/Containment Crescent\u201d) and the Eurasian Heartland (RIC) instigated by the US in order to \u201cre-establish deterrence\u201d vis-\u00e0-vis the Sino-Russo Entente. The purpose is to pressure one of them or their shared Indian partner into capitulating to the US so as to then more effectively divide-and-rule the supercontinent. This hegemonic plot will define Eurasia\u2019s 21st-century geopolitics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
