🚨 FAKE UNITY EXPOSED 🚨
China, Russia, and India just staged a “show of solidarity” at the SCO Summit.
But beneath the smiles and handshakes, the cracks are HUGE. And those cracks are America’s opportunity.
Trump knows it.
🧵👇
2/ Xi Jinping strutted in Tianjin preaching:
• “True multilateralism”
• “Oppose the Cold War mentality”
• Billions in “aid” and infrastructure bribes
Translation: China wants to build an anti-West bloc under Beijing’s leadership. So what else is new?
3/ Putin played backup singer, blaming NATO and the West for his invasion of Ukraine.
But Russia’s “unlimited partnership” with China? It’s a marriage of desperation.
When Ukraine winds down, even Moscow knows it needs Europe more than Beijing.

4/ India? Totally different story.
Yes, Modi smiled, walked hand-in-hand with Putin, and joined the summit.
But he skipped Xi’s parade. He knows China is India’s #1 threat—from border clashes to Beijing’s alliance with Pakistan.

5/ India’s doctrine is “strategic autonomy.” They’ll lean toward whoever offers the most benefit at the time.
But long-term? The math is simple:
11 of the world’s top 15 economies are democracies aligned with the U.S.
India knows where prosperity lies.
6/ Remember: India still depends on Chinese and Russian supply chains. That makes a clean break risky—politically and economically.
But give it time. The trajectory is clear: closer to America, further from Beijing.
7/ Border bloodshed tells the real story.
In 2020, Indian & Chinese soldiers fought with clubs and stones in Galwan Valley. 20 Indians died.
They still hold 1/5 of Kashmir.
No amount of summit smiles erases that reality. India does not trust China—and never will.
8/ Russia doesn’t trust China either.
Nor should they. Xi is draining Russia's treasury of gold and Yuan to pay huge prices for supplies, while paying Russia a fraction of market price for oil.
The CCP is treating Russia as a colony. But for now Russia is trapped.
9/ The West should stop panicking about an “unstoppable bloc.”
It’s fake unity.
It’s brittle.
Xi & Putin may smile for cameras. But behind the curtain? They’re weak. And their "alliance" can't last. 🇺🇸
