Russia, which has relied on the Chinese and Indian markets for highvalue arms sales, has worked in recent years to expand its base of customers through creative financing options, such as debt swaps and "licensed production agreements," which allow its customers to produce and sell Russian weapons, Grimmett said. Russian exports to China during the reporting period have included fighter aircraft, destroyers, submarines, antiship missiles, military transport aircraft, aerial refueling tankers, and jet engines.

As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama repeatedly charged that then-President Bush had "alienated" America from the rest of the world. He accused Mr. Bush of bullying allies and suggested that he would do a better job of reaching out to old friends and finding new ones.
Certainly, many of America's allies welcomed Mr. Obama's election, but at least one country hoped less for change than continuity. That country is India, with whom Mr. Bush engineered a civil nuclear cooperation deal and expanded counterterrorism and defense ties. He also succeeded in separating U.S. relations with India and with Pakistan.

With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

Currently, more than 30 nations, including China and Saudi Arabia, have their exchange rates pegged to the dollar in one form or another, allowing them to export their goods into the United States and maintain huge trade and current account surpluses. This arrangement works as long as this surplus is used to purchase U.S. dollar-denominated debt, including the U.S. national debt. With this money coming from China, Saudi Arabia and other countries, the United States can then finance its $8 trillion budget deficit. This allows the U.S. Federal Reserve to produce enough money to stimulate spending by U.S. consumers, who will then buy Chinese-made clothes and home theatre systems (or Saudi oil) via the "fixed" exchange rate. The Asian countries then invest their profits into U.S. T-bills-in...
