There are only 4 nations now in the world that have demonstrated capability to orbit and land space-vehicles on the moon — USA 🇺🇸 China 🇨🇳 , Russia 🇷🇺 and now the latest entrant into the exclusive club, India 🇮🇳.
President Putin of Russia was the very first one to immediately send his country’s congratulatory message to India’s Chandrayan success yesterday :
To the best of my knowledge, President Biden and President Xi Jin Ping have not done so … at least going by press information I have read up to this moment in time since yesterday.
Now what does that tell me ?
It tells me that in international relations, INDIA must not fail to be wary of and clearly distinguish between “friendly friends” and “unfriendly friends” and “friendly unfriendlies”.
