Israel and Iran are fighting, pulling in Lebanon and Gaza. Russia and Ukraine are fighting, pulling in NATO countries. India is strengthening ties with Russia (via BRICS) and will probably get involved somewhere. North Korea is sending troops to fight with Russia, and so South Korea is considering getting involved on Ukraine’s side. And China is getting ready to invade Taiwan which will definitely involve the U.S. That’s… 43 countries at war or about to be at war, representing almost half of the world’s population.

    India is abusing Russia as it has power over them. Its one of the few countries that will still do business with them on some level, and they are demanding (and getting) absurdly low prices for Russian goods. India is paying and settling in Rupees (India’s currency) and Russia is now has an excess of them. The only place you can spend Rupees is on Indian goods.
