Now that's it's backed with $35 Trillion in debt, not so much anymore.
Well, they are probably selling North Korea everything that it imports right now. Mostly their oil. And we know that India is buying a shitload of its oil from Russia. I really don't understand why India isn't part of NATO.

India made a huge mistake back in the 1960's through 1970's. They had to pick a side in the Cold War- which economic and political system? Their leadership back then decided on Russia and Communism. Huge mistake that they still haven't recovered from economic or military. Been on the sideline ever since.

India has the 5th largest economy on Earth. The 2nd largest active military on Earth. And they have nukes.
So what the fuck are you talking about? :roll:

India has a pretty good military strategy that seems to be working even without any allies.

If you create a country with a large enough population and a country that is filthy enough and over populated, then no one will want anything that you have and will have no reason to attack you.
