This post deals with Iranian
tensions and today’s world that has become a playground of competing Union of
regions of the world.

The Chinese union, the
American union, the Russian the Indian unions and the European union. I guess
the way these unions are run is also representative of the interpersonal human
relationships. Like when we travel in a packed bus or a train we don’t seem to
account the difference between us, and religions, casts, communities, languages
etc don’t even cross our minds, because the primary objective is to reach the
destination. It seems that is what is keeping the Unions like the US going.

This side in the east it is
slightly different. We have unions of poverty. Poor are more generous then the
rich. A little money people start exploiting others, women are exploited for
what they have, children are exploited and men are exploited for property or
the potential to execute exploitation. And such people go back to the home
looking for the same thing they do to others. The rich cannot even tolerate their
own family. But for the poor there is no fear of loss and everything is for
everyone, I guess the Indian union is like that; we seem to get along with each
other because we are poor (needless to add I guess, our problem is in dealing
with prosperity not otherwise).  

Now going on to another
human relationship, I don’t mean to imply that the union of Europe is like that
relationship, even though it has a strange resemblance to it. The live-in
relationship where a young couple gets into it with a lot of enthusiasm and
soon the girl grows out of the early bash of youth, and then she thinks she
needs to give her partner time to grow up. But that would never happen, because
the more time she gives, he gets more comfortable with the time, and that
comfort zone become so dear to him that he starts philosophizing about it. And
then comes a time when he is ready to give up the relationship for his comfort,
and starts finding problems with the relationship and the girl. If the EU
wanted to get in to a Union they would have made a government (marriage).

So I don’t think a
government would ever happen in Europe under such mindsets. And I don’t think a
super Germany of the northern Europe is practicable. Politicians around the
world may say, ‘mind your own business’ but I think they are pushing the world
to another cold war and that’s everybody’s business. What I mean is that even the
US with the Iran tensions may claim nuclear fears, but I think they are pushing
China and Russia into closer cooperation in event of weakness in Europe.

Because no-one can belittle
the assent of north America in the hydrocarbon economy, the Shale gas and
hydrocarbon reserves recently increasing its importance not just for its quantity
but also the type of hydrocarbon seems important to take note of. When you have
long chain and complex Hydrocarbons coming out in form of a gas it is bound to
put pressure on refining business world wide and would pressure not just fuels
but also petrochemical and polymer industry. So where dose all this put Russia?
 

It seems to me that the attempts
to force India to change its traditional policy are a shortsighted and a casual
approach.
