Dude... Putting China in A class instead of S class is already contentious, but placing it BEHIND India??! India MAY reach a state where this *might* be possible, but this is clearly going to take decades. One must be honest here: both military, economically and in terms of power-projection, China has clearly the upperhand. Saying, in a speculative manner, "ah this may change in some decades time, so I'm putting them before China".... is....weird beyond normal logic. You either make a ranking of how it is NOW, or you do it as it will be in several decades... but you can't have it both. For NO other country, did you use speculation of how things might go in the future, yet you do for India. This just doesn't make sense. I admire India and agree it has potential, but when making a ranking, one must remain realistic - and consistent, here.
you can see indians in the comment arguing that china is s-tier we feel proud of our country that doesn't mean we don't know our geopolitical stand point
@@arcaakvira Right? I'm glad chauvinism doesn't trump realism. India certainly has potential to also become a superpower in the long run, but if one is being logical and realist here; now or even in the near future, they don't beat China. I mean, China has even surpassed Russia, except in the nuclear missiles domain. I think the author of the vid did this on purpose, to introduce some contention and stir up some extra interest. But it's pretty clear that, China should be either considered the lower S-class, or the upper A-class. Things may change in a few decades time, but since he didn't do this "futuristic speculation" for any other country, only for India - he's being disingenuous. What he basically is doing, is placing India speculatively how it might be in 20-30 years, between other countries how *those* are *today* . That's so nonsensically absurd, there must be an ulterior motive to it.

That's not his fault. Google and Microsoft maps outside India show India cut up like he is showing, despite Indian CEOs and Indian tech leaders in both companies. From Nehru to Modi, Indian foreign affairs establishment and diaspora abroad has been nonchalant, week and pathetic. Indians just don't care. China has banned Google and yet Googlies would not dare show China as cut up with separate Tibet, Turkmenistan (Xinjiang), Manchuria and more. Basically, the Chinese do not tolerate and threaten with dire consequence.
Placing China behind India makes your video less convincing. The Chinese economy is five times larger than that of India. Additionally, the size of China's manufacturing industry is equivalent to that of the next nine countries combined (including the U.S., Germany, Japan, and others).
I would say USA is S- and will remain there. China is A, with potential to grow into S. India is B with potential to grow into A or fall into C (there are certain difficulties that might make it a bit irrelevant geopolitically compared to the US and China). My personal tip is also if EU integrates more, which is happening, develops european army, it might grow into A+ in a decade or two. Russia today is A- and it will probably even fall to B, i dont see any possibility for it to become S.

Being an indian, i would still say china should be above in ranking just because of sheer economical strength they possess. It is sad to say but india will atleast need about a decade and half or maybe more to reach where china is rightnow in terms of economic power......
Indian here. I would place Russia and china above India for now. Maybe in next 10 years, (provided Modiji continues prime ministership) we will get much more powerful and would compete with China neck to neck. The real game will begin post 2040s when we will have 4 major blocks, Europeans, Chinese, Americans and Indians competing in a multipolar world.
Based on the overall all analysis, India is more influential than China as Chinese partners not see them as true allys. Yes economically the are 5 times bigger economy than India. But now India is moving towards own manufacturing which will desaster for Chinese export as , India is biggest Import of Chinese goods. Russia will surely not have any competition with India at this point, Their economy is lesser than India and they are struggling with lots of sanctions which will eventually bad for their economy in long run. Also India is also their biggest diffence buyer.
India's biggest problem is they relied on Russian technology for military equipment. Now they are having buyer's remorse after Russia's failed invasion of Ukraine.
Lol this guy only mentioned Iran Saudi and Russia, and focused on a non existent land dispute between Russia.

A regional power like Marathas completely destroyed them and made them into their vassals that too within less than 50 years

As a Chinese person, our per capita GDP is not higher than that of the United States, and our per capita number of weapons is also far lower than that of the United States. China is a developing country, so even if you categorize us as ‘D-level’, I believe most Chinese people would be willing to accept it. To add, our per capita nuclear weapons possession is also very low.
The other thing nuclear weapons multiple Western countries are capable of deploying nuclear weapons but don’t because of the US nuclear umbrella and the non proliferation treaty.

Thank you Aaron.♥
I guess thats soft power for you 😉 UA-camrs favouring India for growth already tells of India s soft power upcoming age is a digital one and India will be one of the leading countries in this age Also India may not be ahead of China but yeah in future it will be for sure
8:12 Such a bad argument for this proposition. Germany's economy was literally falling apart after WW1 and before nazis came into power, in fact it was one of the main, if not the primary reason why they came into power and how they justified starting WW2.
Aaron's analysis is on point. I see many in the comments (mostly chinese bots claiming to be Indian) crying that why didn't Aaron put China ahead of India or in the S tier but the truth is simple. He explained it in the video itself. Tell me what did he say that was wrong? An economy that is slowly dying and depends almost all on its enemies, a military that can't project power outside of south china sea and even if they did attack Tiwan then their half of the population will die because of the oil supply cut off. They are surrounded by enemies and have border disputes with almost everyone. They fake their data and are an authoritarian state....why tf should they even be on the top of A tier list?
His arguments are weak. China's power is build on real economic power. They have a well educated workforce and build global influence through the Belt and Road inititave. The economic interests of so many countries are tied to those of China. They consistently outperform the US in bids for infrastructure projects in Asia, Africa and South America. They build factories and buy companies all over the world. These alliances are less coercive than the partnership with the US. China doesn't mess with the internal affairs of countries, they don't push reforms down the throat of developing countries. China is innovative in key industries like the production of technology used in the military sectors. They are also a mineral rich country. Develop solar technology and make efforts of becoming less reliant on the import of energy. They're innovative in software development. Their Apps and the Financial industry are integrated very efficiently. They outcompete any country in the EV market. The Chinese economy is so much stronger as the one of the Soviet union ever was and the best part is, that they don't have to spend so much of their income for the military, because their real power lies in multually beneficial economic relations. Germany couldn't leave China if they wanted to. The US economies are reliant on China as a market and as a producer more than ever before and all the talk about finding other countries to produce doesn't happen in that way in practice. While Europe and the US might raise tarrifs on Chinese EVs, while they might ban Huawei and TikTok, the world doesn't revolve around like it did 50 years ago. Other countries in South America, in Afica, in Asia gladly buy the cheaper Chinese alternative. This in turn leads to these countries gaining a gradual advantage over the US and Europe, who have to pay extra, which is making these countries less profitable. China is definitely S-Tier. It's the only country that comes close to rivaling the US.
An Indian here. China definitely is No 2 to US. Would be No 1 if not for the Reserve Currency.. India scores better than Germany purely due to demographics, but then it is a very crucial factor. Agree with most on a high level
China's relation is fuked across all its relatives. For example south korea,japan,india,,vietnam,myanmar. Also their choke point is in hand of india. India can block China's import/export via diamond necklace strategy. If india will do that then China's economy will collapse drastically. That's the reason why india is above china. China's relation are not as great as india.
India is growing fast and will be a major power on the world stage in the future. But currently, China has an economy 5 times larger than India. Their naval fleet is second only to the US. China makes about 70% of ships in the world, and is still the largest exporter of all manufactured goods. Placing them behind India is insane. Unless India can grow their economy to 5x its size right now in 10 years, build 300 naval ships, 20 dockyards and hundreds of factories.
@@WBCY2024 India wont be anything. Most of their high educated people leave the country to the US or Europe. People in india starve and shit on the streets, air and water polution is killing many people, so many slums and crime, corruption and much more. China is thousand times better than india.
4:07 What are you talking about? Russia is largely inhabitable. It just doesn't have much population. You can make a city anywhere in Siberia or the far north, and they have them (Norilsk, Yakutsk).
I would definitely put China ahead of India in terms of Geopolitical power, China is the only country that can rival USA. Maybe in 10-20 years time, India and China would probably be similar but right now, China has bigger economy, military, technology, trade volume, Better infrastructure, almost every checklist. But Right behind China would be India and Russia. My list would be similar but right now at S tier - USA A tier - China, India, Russia B tier -UK, France, Germany, C tier - Japan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, D tier - Brazil, Italy E tier - South Korea, Mexico, Canada, Sweden Overall a Great video

One thing exceptional about them is how they maintain strong allies and neutral relations with many many countries. Neighbours are definitely downsides. Russia: They are being stretched so hard. Wartime economy depended on China. Plummeting demographics over such a massive amount of land. Upsides are their geography and resources. Australia: I was a bit surprised at his rankings.

But they're still missing an entire category of geopolitical power: the social/cultural influence aspect. They don't have any known music or groups, any type of professional sports spots, art, dance, and for the most part barely even movies who's influence or renown has spread across the globe in a culturally significant manner. That alone has to keep them from S tier.
China does not have geographical advantages the US has. Also they don't have the cultural projection or military projection capabilities of the US. The US has 11 aircraft carriers, China has 3. They have economic might and some scientific and technological might, and right now that's about it. Also, the US is energy independent. China has no oil and can easily be crippled by blocking off the Malacca Strait, which is how oil tankers get to China from the Middle East. It is also surrounded by several hostile nations (India, Taiwan, Japan, SK, Vietnam). The US is surrounded by Canada, a friendly ally, and Mexico, a critical trading partner, and two oceans. China has a severe demographic crisis, America doesn't (due to immigration).
I think China deserves a tier of its own above A tier. But I also think the US just deserves a tier above China just because of its power in the UN, ties with many alliances, good relations with many great powers (S. Korea, Canada, most of Europe and more)

6:10 Ok, this is another gripe I have with this vid. What border dispute do they *ACTUALLY* have? Since you explicitly say "literally", they should, in effect, have a literal border dispute - which one is it, *precisely*? I bet you can't name it, because... there is none, because at this point in time all borderdisputes between Russia and China have been resolved through the 1991 Sino-Soviet Border Agreement, the 2001 Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship, the border agreement between Russia and China signed on 14 October 2003, and the additional Sino-Russian Border Line Agreement of 2008. Each of these agreements dealt with a border issue, and since 2008, ALL border disputes between Russia and China have been resolved. So to what "literal" border dispute are you referring that they are having "right now"? Sorry, but this is sloppy investigative work. If you want to be more professional, at least you should put some effort into it. Including in checking your sources. The only (rather gullible) substantiation I see is a statement in certain particular Western media (whom are notoriously anti-Russia/China) whom claim to have seen "secret documents" no one else has seen, which pretend to show "wargames" of Russia vs China...

Weather it is one or two kid policy. 2 that's why Russian army and govt are planing to protect it self from Chinese invasion. 3 indian arm forces scrap the naxal moments and sleeper cells, manipur will be stable. Manipur is under military and president rule. 4 Trump is going to be the new president of usa. He already warn all countries . They will use strict action against those countries. And at the end. U got all information from global times and Chinese propogenda news channel 🤡
"Economics, Alliances and Geography matters a lot" Proceeds to put Sweden on the list and not Norway. Sweden don't even have direct access to the North Sea! And China at A tier. He he pretty much just guessing at this point
You said Canada has a solid economy. Ask a young Canadian about that. It is a house of cards built on real estate, which is their largest economic sector. It is extremely unaffordable and has recently brought in millions of immigrants, which has destabilized their society and worsened their housing shortage and RE unaffordability. Trudeau has been a disaster. Alberta and Quebec are perennially on the verge of seceding. Its GDP is smaller than that of Texas. They are not respected on the world stage. It's rapidly on its way to failed country status. Bottom of D tier. Watch some of Jack Chapple's videos on Canada.
I agree with tiers for the most part (though not with what has been said about those countries), however something has to be clarified is that times are changing rn and so the S tier is going to change too, and would look something like this: 1945 - 1990 : S tier = USA + Soviet Union. 1990 - 2030 : S tier = USA. ~ 2030 - future : S tier = Russia + China.
lmao what Russia is not in S Tier in 2030, they will be even less influential than now. The US will still be the most powerful and influential country in the wold in 2030, and will be one of the top 2 world powers for the entire 21st century
If the Americans didn’t kill the Japanese economic growth, it would be the largest economy per capita, and probably the third largest in absolute size.
just because china claimed a region of India without any basis you excluded that region entirely from the Indian map. this is wrong imagine china just randomly claims a state in the US and everyone starts excluding it from maps.
S: China, United States A:Russia B: India, France, Germany, UK, Italy I think it needs to be explained from three aspects: first, military influence, second, economic influence, and third, industrial capability. In addition to being stronger than China in terms of military strength, the United States is not as good as China in terms of economic strength and industrial capabilities. , In addition, industrial capacity can actually be transformed into military strength, so China should be stronger than the United States. As for Russia, Russia only has military strength, and its economic strength and industrial capacity are a piece of shit. Another point is that many of your data are wrong.
Russia? Russia had a CCC rated economy before the Russo Ukraine war. Military production might give Russia a short economic spike, but within three years its war will see its National Wealth Fund drained.
@@petersinclair3997 Russia is ranked A because they have the most nuclear weapons and have strong conventional military capabilities. Even though the conventional military strength of some B-level countries can be compared with Russia's, their nuclear weapons are far behind Russia's. It's just that Russia's economic strength and industrial capabilities are too poor, which is very detrimental to a protracted war.
the whole point about germany becoming a militaristic expansionist power yet again is totally unrealistic, they are in nato and the eu, both factions that heavily restrict their military independence, they are far behind other large european nations in terms of power projection, their whole geopolitical relevancy is built on their economic output
Canada vs. Australia: Canada was called a Middle Power since 1960s. During WW2 it had the third largest navy in the world. Take this: Canada is the second largest country on Earth with the second largest oil reserves (after Saudi Arabia), and the largest (60%) of drinking water (thanks to the snow) in the entire World. Canada has 28 Nobel Prize winners (one of the highest on Earth) while Australia has only 14. Canada is also a member of G7 (Great Seven - a Club of most powerful western nations), NATO (the strongest military club of the Western nations), has strong diplomacy with the West. Canada's geography is much better and closer to the Global powers (USA, Europe, Russia and China) than Australia's (the middle of nowhere to be honest). Australia is not a member of G7, and not a member of NATO, plus has big problem of water shortage (due to the climate). Canada traditionally has strong manufacturing and industrial base while Australia has almost none. Canada is not a prominent power for sure, but it is definitely more powerful than Australia. Don't get me wrong, Australia is a wonderful country, but it is certainly not a power by any means, due to its small size, and can boast one of the highest living standards.
@aleck4490 Dude, you compared Italy and Mongolia when Italy is in G8, is a manufacturer power of the world and has a bigger GDP than Canada. Australia is way better than Canada, economically and militarily
@@NoName-hg6cc Australia is tiny LOL. Its population is smaller than one Indian city's population (Mumbai). HA HA HA. It is definitely NOT a power. It has zero (0) industrial and manufacturing base. Australia only has one metro system in Sydney which it opened only in 2022 (one of the last ones to do so in the West, and it's not even underground system) LOL What a joke lol. It mainly sells natural resources (coal, uranium, etc.), and doesn't produce any manufacturing products, has very fragile economy (most real estate bought up by the Chinese) LOL. So yeah it is a joke. Not a power by any means.

Australis is smaller than Canada in every possible way: and is not an economic power. Check you head.
Three corrections. China is a tier A topper by miles ahead of India. I guess you choose india because of the views. Second Italy surly Tier B power ahead of Saudis. Third I wouldn't put Sweden in any list you missed Indonesia as a Top C tier power.

uk is not an independant country, just like any english speaking country (old british empire) they have been made into american vassals look the uk 's nuclear arsenal its actually controlled by the us while its not the case for France and Germany also the uk isnt independant in terms of food which is very bad same for germany however they geography is absolutely top tier in europe
I think you are dead wrong about the relationship between China and Russia. When was the last time China and Russia really had a war between them for territorial dispute? It was around 1969 and that is like 45 years ago. Also let me tell you about the demographic problem in China. What is the percentage of people in China that is over 65 years old? what is the percentage of people at the over 65 bracket? 14% of Chinese people are over the age of 65 and for the US 16% . India and China, they do have similar populations but what you and western think tanks often overlooked is why India and China have developed differently in the past 40 years considering up to until 1990 India was a marginally wealthier country than China. If we are looking at number of working people in these two nations we will be seeing a big difference, despite having the same population the labor participation rate in India is just around 35% and in China it is 72.1%, as the result China has a working population of 740 million and almost 40% more than India. USA has a working population of 172 million. Out of its working population China has skilled or trained work force of 200 million and out of this 200 million, 60 million are highly skilled, India has a skilled or trained work force of 27 million, this is actually caused a gap or shortage of skill workers of almost 150 million. In education China has a literacy level of almost 100% in 2023, India's literacy rate is about 80%. Tertiary enrolment in India is at 28% and in China is about 70% of secondary students. the government investment in education is also huge, China spent 3.3% of its GDP on education and India spent 2.9%. So there is a giant gap between number of well educated Chinese and Indian population. I think what I posted should really highlight the demographic issue that we are seeing in China and relative advantage or disadvantage that India has with its larger population. Scientific research and development is what will also set apart this two countries, China's investment in research and development is around 660 billion compare to India at 62 billion. When it comes to debt, China does have debt but China also saving country, Chinese saving is equivalent of 45% of its GDP that is unmatched by any other country, if we look at the deficit the country is running China is running a budget deficit of 200 billion while the US is running a budget deficit of 1.2 trillion. When you talk about Chinese navy, you need to remember they have the 2nd largest navy in the world, they are also have one of the top 2 ship building industry in the world. I would put China far above India, Germany, UK, France. When we consider where China is in term of its military and economic power, it is far above the other four, in term of richness in natural resources China is considered the 6th best nation in the world. In the next two decades we are going to see China as the nation that consolidate its supply chain.
At 20:12 content creator doesn't imply Kashmir as part of India. It is a misrepresentation of India's political boundaries. Entire state of Jammu and Kashmir, including Aksai Chin and PoK are an integral and inalienable part of India. sufficient understanding of Indias boundary is essential to better gauge such comparison.
Good analysis so far. A couple of points though. You forgot to take into account that Italy has a strong millitary industry, a powerful navy, and a larger economy than Russia (I am not Italian btw). It may not have projected power outward until now due to internal political issues, but with a different leadership it could play an important role in Europe and the Mediterranean. Definately not D tier. As for the EU being on the decline, I think your analysis is a bit outdated; also Germany seems to have cast their die now after Ukraine.
One must understand, it's not 2 atomic bombs that made Japan to surrender. As there was no more bombs like this comings soon, and "normal" bombs did a LOT more damage previously, so it's like it mattered much. 1 miilion Red army appeared in Manchuria and this is when game was over.
In a Geopolitical Term that means India is only Second to US and Unlike Other nation's having Either Falling Demographics, Less soft power or are way dependent on other great powers India is much better in Place even than China while China might be the Second strongest Military right now but they have more Enemies and their Power Projection get easily Neutralized by US, Southeast Asian Nation's and Japan together while instead of showing Power Projection by Challenging Other nation's India shows Power projection by Saving Cargo ships with their Partners in Indian Ocean such as UK, Australia or US which not only shows Power projection but also sends a goodwill as No one will see you as Agressor but as a Net security Provider While China is opposite of it if it wasn't the case they would have been on S-Tier or Atleast Ahead of India you can say India even after being so powerful that their military is Right Next to US and China but still around the world Common people wouldn't feel Threatened From them that is your Soft power in the end India is almost S-tier but for some reasons they can't reach that level for other 1 or 2 decades while I can't say the same for Russia and other A-Tier nations except China.
I find this classification unscientific lacking statistical data and criteria (which by the way is without marking e.g which criteria is to be awarded 1 and which should be awarded 2 , so on and so forth)For example when talking about soft power , which country's banks lend more to other nations apart the Imf and world bank and which country is leading in most of the future technologies. Which country is the biggest manufacturer and exporter of goods. This country is even considered as the most serious competitor by the most advanced countries . Which country has lifted 800 millions people out of poverty in only a few decades. Their industrial is such, that the advanced economies are now pleading it to slow its production capacity. These are a few of the foremost criteria to consider before making your classification. As regards demographic there are many solutions to address this issue and it is not an unsolvable problem.
India is definitely A tier but nowhere near the 'almost S Tier' you are mentioning. It's ok to love your country and being patriotic but c'mon, be a little more objective...
@@richardlee-z9pBut can Those Countries People see that Loan as Good or Bad? Tell me on How much Interest does that nation give that to other nation's compare to IMF and World Bank you are saying facts but also misleading it into saying they are better just because they Give Money to Nation's, Bring out people out of Poverty and so on just as Exporter of goods this Crown is also not Stable Now it's that nation but who can say it would be still after 10 year's or 20 years because African Nation's and Many more Nation's are on Rise so what do you think They think a Nation more Agressive as lets put aside Government will people of those Nation's considered them as Someone that are not Agressive? If you ask a Random person from Southeast Asia, East Asia, Europe, America who they will consider as Agressive India or the country you supported right now?
It is interesting what you say about the soft power of the Korean boy bands. When I was teaching in Qatar, I found that the students had extreme admiration for both Japan and South Korea with some even taking private lessons in the languages.
Seeing comments from my fellow Indians acknowledging that China should be placed ahead of them gives me relief that we live in reality and this way we may actually go fr ahead in future.
We can see how much china influences by looking at the map you just used, arunacha pradesh where i come from which belongs and administered by India and yet you decided to shade it differently from rest of the country because china claims the land, well i can understand Kashmir because some part of it is controlled by Pakistan but Arunachal is not Kashmir.
BTW. How many wars did India fight? Russia is single-handedly fighting an indirect war against the European part of the NATO. While India was pwned by a small group of Britons. Literally a tiny-tiny group of Britons pwned the entire subcontinent. Do you think much changed since then? Not at all.
NATO hasn’t shown up yet. Sometimes NATO countries are even suspending aid like the US did and Russia still takes massive casualties for little gain that they don’t even know that they’ll be able to keep by next year. If you want to know how a NATO vs Russia fight would end up look at the battle of Khasham. They would get wiped out.
yes many things have changed....today one Indian state would beat up british if they want to invade once again and also because the power is now centralized in Delhi no country can actually Invade India.....moreover it has nukes....so yeah India is much much much powerful today and differential will only grow :)
@@bhaskarshukla11a21 9000 killed, 25000 wounded? Is this supposed to be a joke? Check out the wars true superpowers participated in like WW1, WW2, etc. BTW Pakistani army is as hilarious as Indian army. But since they lost to you they are even more laughable.
Aaron, Put India next time S time and China F tier you will get more likes. but if you think practically India is in the L tier and China is in the S tier
First of all, kindly use correct map of India. Whole Jammu-Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh are integral part of India. How can you use false map of India? Secondly, we believe that China is much ahead of us in terms of economic power, not militarily as India always maintain huge military and arsenals for two-front wars anytime. So, we would keep China ahead of India in terms of economic power. But another point is that China have fights with western world and China recently declared russian territories as Chinese land, whereas India is friendly towards western countries and even for Russia and Iran, Saudi Arabia. So, India is much powerful in this global power game against china.
The idea that any European country is more powerful than Japan is a ridiculous notion. It straight up doesn't make any sense. Japan's economy is bigger than all of those and it being the most indebted country doesn't matter much as it's mostly owed to itself whilst having been the world's biggest creditor for last 33 years. It's military is also vastly more powerful than France, Germany or UK such as having a bigger navy than UK and France combined. Germany's military is extremely weak compared to Japan. Politically, it influences more people than UK, France and Germany. Just the fact that it's a much more important diplomatic partner for India, China, US and ASEAN and close to EU gives it more leverage than the 3 European countries. It's birth rate is along the same lines as Germany, Russia, UK and it's always blown out of proportion for Japan for some unknown reason when it's clearly a global phenomenon and it'll still have a larger population than the European countries and comparable to Russia in next 50 years. It's cultural power through games, anime, manga, tourism, food and more is only matched by the US and in Asia, where most people in globe live, it even beats out the US. It's impossible to say that France, Germany, UK are more influential WW than Japan as they don't beat Japan in any metric. India is also less influential still. Russia is debatable. China and the US are the only countries more powerful than Japan. It just seems very strange to me how you'd consider these countries as being more powerful?
No, India is more influential, within next 2 years india's economy is gonna overtake Japan's. India's military is way more powerful than Japan's. India has got nukes. India has young population whereas Japan has got older population. I agree that Japan is more influential than Germany, not sure of Uk and France though. Only two things Japan has in their court against india is their soft power and geography. Japan has got anime, manga, and games. Whereas india is known for its food and movies. And india is surrounded by hostile countries like Pakistan and China, and india had border disputes with both of them.
Japan is a USA vassal. It has A SELF DEFENCE FORCE and not a full fledged armed forces unit, it is home to hundreded of AMERICAN PERMANENET MILITTARY BASES. Use common sense
No European country compares to Japan, mainly due to geography. But Russia is on a different level to any country on the planet. Russia's only weakness is her relatively small internal market. Other than that, Russia's advantages absolutely dominate any other country on earth, including China & the USA.
@@jatingodhwani1916that's not completely accurate or justified... Japan is also known for its food .. also why would you say Japan above Germany but not UK or France? Zero reasons to justify such a claim ??
@@Bruh-jw2ze true, Japan is known for its food too. I said this because France and Uk possess nuclear weapons, Germany doesn't. Moreover I find France and Uk geopolitically way more stronger than Germany. Uk and France also have very strong military compared to European standards. I think they are only below turkey. That's why.
As an Indian origin individual, as many biases as I might have against China, its a clear S-tier country. They have a powerful economy, having the largest GDp on a PPP basis, the strongest Global Supply Chain in the world, with trade relations everywhere, a population only 2nd to India now. With their only weaknesses being poorer relations with the West, and the early stages of population ageing. As hard a pill as it may be to swallow, China is a clear S-tier country atleast for the next 4-5 decades, and currently ahead of India and on par with the US. Also, the Indian map is nonsense, keep pulling this nonsense and I may have to post videos where California is a part of Mexico. Nevertheless, entertaining video
I was surprised to see Canada and Australia in the D tier as many people from countries like India, China, Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines want to migrate to Australia and Canada
Weird list, really. The three super powers (US, China, Russia) belong in the S-tier. 1) China is the industrial superpower that could outproduce the entirety of the West militarily if it so chose... much as the US outproduced Germany and Japan in WWII. 2) Russia is the world's 4th largest economy by PPP terms - a recent thing, as the IMF recalculated its formula); has the best air defense and military industrial base in the world (with the possible exception of China); is the world's largest producer of commodities; has the greatest number of nukes; and has extremely good relations with the Global Majority The US, on the other hand: is reliant on obsolete military technology (aircraft carriers, and a huge number of obsolete aircraft); has hollowed out its industrial base; has completely destroyed its moral authority and soft power abroad due to its blatant support for Israel's genocide; and is in the process of seeing its financial supremacy fail as the world de-dollarizes at an accelerated pace. Yes, the US is still powerful, but it is no longer in a class of its own. And FFS, the UK as a A-tier power? With less than 100 working tanks and a flagship that can't leave port anymore? This was a lazy hack job.
@@aditube8781 India has a larger economy overall, but Russia has - by far - the greater military industrial base and weapons systems. That said, India has its own advantages that will very likely see it join the ranks of the global superpowers in 10 or 20 years. If you object to my brief analysis, feel free to make a case: "you don't know shit" is not a convincing rebuttal, and just tells me you are a salty Indian. Feel free to actually engage like a mature person, rather than raging and insulting behind the anonymity of the internet.
@@thechloromancer3310Geopolitics doesn't only mean Military. It also means Economy, Space, Diplomacy, Demography, Soft power, Geography and many other minor factors. India has a much more powerful diplomacy than Russia. India has the leverage of making partnerships with anyone in the world. Same can't be said about Russia who is virtually at war with the collective West. In space also India has surpassed Russia with the Chandrayaan-3 program last year. Demographically also India is young and hence has a tremendous potential for further growth while Russia is aging
@@aditube8781, @willaimoconnell9430 , @indiafirst3676 Kudos to Indiafirst for actually replying with an intelligent comment. Regardless, the fact that the world consists of three superpowers (with the US as the prime superpower, China as a close second, and Russia as a distant third) is not simply my estimation. Rather, it is the opinion of the world's most respected geopolitical analysts, such as Professor John Maershiemer. I simply agree with him in this instance. To address Indiafirst's points: Diplomacy: India has sought to position itself as a leader of the non-aligned movement, with moderate success. This has not worked out for India as well as India would have hoped, especially in a world being divided between the West and the Global Majority. Russia may indeed be on the outs with the West, but it has some very strong partnetships/alliances with China, North Korea, Vietnam, Belarus, Iran, and even India. These are allies that have demonstrated the ability and willingness to stand with Russia even in the face of intense pressure from the West. India's allies lie on both sides of the global divide, and that is an enormous problem. India's foreign policy was formed during more naive times for India, and it is only now becoming clear to India that being an 'ally' of the US means being subordinate to the US in foreign policy matters, and being willing to sacrifice Indian national interests in favour of pursuing the US' geopolitical interests. Japan discovered this with the Plaza Accord, and Germany discovered this when the US blew up the Nord Stream pipelines. Demographics: Demographics mean nothing if they can not be leveraged properly. China had excellent demographics under Mao, but is doing far, far better now with much worse demographics. However, India's demographics may indeed be coupled with better industrial and economic policies in the future to propel India into the ranks of the superpowers. Hopefully that day will come sooner, rather than later. Best of luck, India. Choose your allies more carefully though.

Dude... Putting China in A class instead of S class is already contentious, but placing it BEHIND India??! India MAY reach a state where this *might* be possible, but this is clearly going to take decades. One must be honest here: both military, economically and in terms of power-projection, China has clearly the upperhand.
Saying, in a speculative manner, "ah this may change in some decades time, so I'm putting them before China".... is....weird beyond normal logic. You either make a ranking of how it is NOW, or you do it as it will be in several decades... but you can't have it both. For NO other country, did you use speculation of how things might go in the future, yet you do for India. This just doesn't make sense.
I admire India and agree it has potential, but when making a ranking, one must remain realistic - and consistent, here.
I'm Indian and I agree with most of what you've written.
he want views lol
you can see indians in the comment arguing that china is s-tier we feel proud of our country that doesn't mean we don't know our geopolitical stand point
@@arcaakvira Right? I'm glad chauvinism doesn't trump realism. India certainly has potential to also become a superpower in the long run, but if one is being logical and realist here; now or even in the near future, they don't beat China. I mean, China has even surpassed Russia, except in the nuclear missiles domain.
I think the author of the vid did this on purpose, to introduce some contention and stir up some extra interest. But it's pretty clear that, China should be either considered the lower S-class, or the upper A-class.
Things may change in a few decades time, but since he didn't do this "futuristic speculation" for any other country, only for India - he's being disingenuous. What he basically is doing, is placing India speculatively how it might be in 20-30 years, between other countries how *those* are *today* . That's so nonsensically absurd, there must be an ulterior motive to it.

Placing China behind India makes your video less convincing. The Chinese economy is five times larger than that of India. Additionally, the size of China's manufacturing industry is equivalent to that of the next nine countries combined (including the U.S., Germany, Japan, and others).

India is B with potential to grow into A or fall into C (there are certain difficulties that might make it a bit irrelevant geopolitically compared to the US and China). My personal tip is also if EU integrates more, which is happening, develops european army, it might grow into A+ in a decade or two. Russia today is A- and it will probably even fall to B, i dont see any possibility for it to become S.

Indian here. I would place Russia and china above India for now. Maybe in next 10 years, (provided Modiji continues prime ministership) we will get much more powerful and would compete with China neck to neck. The real game will begin post 2040s when we will have 4 major blocks, Europeans, Chinese, Americans and Indians competing in a multipolar world.
Russia is definitely not at that level now, I hate to say it but the west has managed to reduce them to a Chinese vassal gas station with nukes.
Based on the overall all analysis, India is more influential than China as Chinese partners not see them as true allys. Yes economically the are 5 times bigger economy than India. But now India is moving towards own manufacturing which will desaster for Chinese export as , India is biggest Import of Chinese goods. Russia will surely not have any competition with India at this point, Their economy is lesser than India and they are struggling with lots of sanctions which will eventually bad for their economy in long run.

As a Chinese person, our per capita GDP is not higher than that of the United States, and our per capita number of weapons is also far lower than that of the United States. China is a developing country, so even if you categorize us as ‘D-level’, I believe most Chinese people would be willing to accept it.
To add, our per capita nuclear weapons possession is also very low.
The other thing nuclear weapons multiple Western countries are capable of deploying nuclear weapons but don’t because of the US nuclear umbrella and the non proliferation treaty.

8:12 Such a bad argument for this proposition. Germany's economy was literally falling apart after WW1 and before nazis came into power, in fact it was one of the main, if not the primary reason why they came into power and how they justified starting WW2.
Aaron's analysis is on point. I see many in the comments (mostly chinese bots claiming to be Indian) crying that why didn't Aaron put China ahead of India or in the S tier but the truth is simple.
He explained it in the video itself. Tell me what did he say that was wrong? An economy that is slowly dying and depends almost all on its enemies, a military that can't project power outside of south china sea and even if they did attack Tiwan then their half of the population will die because of the oil supply cut off. They are surrounded by enemies and have border disputes with almost everyone. They fake their data and are an authoritarian state....why tf should they even be on the top of A tier list?
Bro stop watching too much BBC, Fox news, cnn and these youtubers who are paid by CIA's 1.6 billion anti china propaganda budget
U meant India bot 😂
His arguments are weak. China's power is build on real economic power. They have a well educated workforce and build global influence through the Belt and Road inititave. The economic interests of so many countries are tied to those of China. They consistently outperform the US in bids for infrastructure projects in Asia, Africa and South America. They build factories and buy companies all over the world. These alliances are less coercive than the partnership with the US. China doesn't mess with the internal affairs of countries, they don't push reforms down the throat of developing countries.
China is innovative in key industries like the production of technology used in the military sectors. They are also a mineral rich country. Develop solar technology and make efforts of becoming less reliant on the import of energy. They're innovative in software development. Their Apps and the Financial industry are integrated very efficiently. They outcompete any country in the EV market. The Chinese economy is so much stronger as the one of the Soviet union ever was and the best part is, that they don't have to spend so much of their income for the military, because their real power lies in multually beneficial economic relations. Germany couldn't leave China if they wanted to. The US economies are reliant on China as a market and as a producer more than ever before and all the talk about finding other countries to produce doesn't happen in that way in practice. While Europe and the US might raise tarrifs on Chinese EVs, while they might ban Huawei and TikTok, the world doesn't revolve around like it did 50 years ago. Other countries in South America, in Afica, in Asia gladly buy the cheaper Chinese alternative. This in turn leads to these countries gaining a gradual advantage over the US and Europe, who have to pay extra, which is making these countries less profitable.
China is definitely S-Tier. It's the only country that comes close to rivaling the US.
Canada: I would arrest Meng Wanzhou, but please don't bother me, I'm only D tier here

I would put China as S tier, behind US but still S tier. In my opinion they are the second superpower
But they're still missing an entire category of geopolitical power: the social/cultural influence aspect. They don't have any known music or groups, any type of professional sports spots, art, dance, and for the most part barely even movies who's influence or renown has spread across the globe in a culturally significant manner. That alone has to keep them from S tier.
China does not have geographical advantages the US has. Also they don't have the cultural projection or military projection capabilities of the US. The US has 11 aircraft carriers, China has 3. They have economic might and some scientific and technological might, and right now that's about it. Also, the US is energy independent. China has no oil and can easily be crippled by blocking off the Malacca Strait, which is how oil tankers get to China from the Middle East. It is also surrounded by several hostile nations (India, Taiwan, Japan, SK, Vietnam). The US is surrounded by Canada, a friendly ally, and Mexico, a critical trading partner, and two oceans. China has a severe demographic crisis, America doesn't (due to immigration).

Putting China below India is the craziest thing about this list.
6:10 Ok, this is another gripe I have with this vid. What border dispute do they *ACTUALLY* have? Since you explicitly say "literally", they should, in effect, have a literal border dispute - which one is it, *precisely*?
I bet you can't name it, because... there is none, because at this point in time all borderdisputes between Russia and China have been resolved through the 1991 Sino-Soviet Border Agreement, the 2001 Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship, the border agreement between Russia and China signed on 14 October 2003, and the additional Sino-Russian Border Line Agreement of 2008. Each of these agreements dealt with a border issue, and since 2008, ALL border disputes between Russia and China have been resolved. So to what "literal" border dispute are you referring that they are having "right now"? Sorry, but this is sloppy investigative work. If you want to be more professional, at least you should put some effort into it. Including in checking your sources.
The only (rather gullible) substantiation I see is a statement in certain particular Western media (whom are notoriously anti-Russia/China) whom claim to have seen "secret documents" no one else has seen, which pretend to show "wargames" of Russia vs China... And this amounts to a "literal border dispute", how, exactly?

Few heads up:
- No more one-child policy in China.
- Border issues between Russia and China has been settled long time agao, and they are on ironclad friendship. Russian have given permission to China to use their ports in Siberia for trade and military purpose, and given land to China for agriculture.
- India‘s internal conflict is greater than you can imagine, umemployment, religious issues, separetist movement, food and water insecurity, border issues with all of its neighbores.
- For US, the biggest threat is de-dollarisation.
- And more on other countries.

It is extremely unaffordable and has recently brought in millions of immigrants, which has destabilized their society and worsened their housing shortage and RE unaffordability. Trudeau has been a disaster. Alberta and Quebec are perennially on the verge of seceding. Its GDP is smaller than that of Texas. They are not respected on the world stage.

I agree with tiers for the most part (though not with what has been said about those countries), however something has to be clarified is that times are changing rn and so the S tier is going to change too, and would look something like this:
1945 - 1990 : S tier = USA + Soviet Union.
1990 - 2030 : S tier = USA.
~ 2030 - future : S tier = Russia + China.
lmao what Russia is not in S Tier in 2030, they will be even less influential than now. The US will still be the most powerful and influential country in the wold in 2030, and will be one of the top 2 world powers for the entire 21st century

S: China, United States
A:Russia
B: India, France, Germany, UK, Italy
I think it needs to be explained from three aspects: first, military influence, second, economic influence, and third, industrial capability. In addition to being stronger than China in terms of military strength, the United States is not as good as China in terms of economic strength and industrial capabilities. , In addition, industrial capacity can actually be transformed into military strength, so China should be stronger than the United States. As for Russia, Russia only has military strength, and its economic strength and industrial capacity are a piece of shit. Another point is that many of your data are wrong.
Russia? Russia had a CCC rated economy before the Russo Ukraine war. Military production might give Russia a short economic spike, but within three years its war will see its National Wealth Fund drained.
@@petersinclair3997 Russia is ranked A because they have the most nuclear weapons and have strong conventional military capabilities. Even though the conventional military strength of some B-level countries can be compared with Russia's, their nuclear weapons are far behind Russia's.

Canada vs. Australia: Canada was called a Middle Power since 1960s. During WW2 it had the third largest navy in the world. Take this: Canada is the second largest country on Earth with the second largest oil reserves (after Saudi Arabia), and the largest (60%) of drinking water (thanks to the snow) in the entire World. Canada has 28 Nobel Prize winners (one of the highest on Earth) while Australia has only 14. Canada is also a member of G7 (Great Seven - a Club of most powerful western nations), NATO (the strongest military club of the Western nations), has strong diplomacy with the West. Canada's geography is much better and closer to the Global powers (USA, Europe, Russia and China) than Australia's (the middle of nowhere to be honest). Australia is not a member of G7, and not a member of NATO, plus has big problem of water shortage (due to the climate). Canada traditionally has strong manufacturing and industrial base while Australia has almost none. Canada is not a prominent power for sure, but it is definitely more powerful than Australia. Don't get me wrong, Australia is a wonderful country, but it is certainly not a power by any means, due to its small size, and can boast one of the highest living standards.

I think you are dead wrong about the relationship between China and Russia. When was the last time China and Russia really had a war between them for territorial dispute? It was around 1969 and that is like 45 years ago. Also let me tell you about the demographic problem in China. What is the percentage of people in China that is over 65 years old? what is the percentage of people at the over 65 bracket? 14% of Chinese people are over the age of 65 and for the US 16% . India and China, they do have similar populations but what you and western think tanks often overlooked is why India and China have developed differently in the past 40 years considering up to until 1990 India was a marginally wealthier country than China. If we are looking at number of working people in these two nations we will be seeing a big difference, despite having the same population the labor participation rate in India is just around 35% and in China it is 72.1%, as the result China has a working population of 740 million and almost 40% more than India. USA has a working population of 172 million. Out of its working population China has skilled or trained work force of 200 million and out of this 200 million, 60 million are highly skilled, India has a skilled or trained work force of 27 million, this is actually caused a gap or shortage of skill workers of almost 150 million. In education China has a literacy level of almost 100% in 2023, India's literacy rate is about 80%. Tertiary enrolment in India is at 28% and in China is about 70% of secondary students. the government investment in education is also huge, China spent 3.3% of its GDP on education and India spent 2.9%. So there is a giant gap between number of well educated Chinese and Indian population. I think what I posted should really highlight the demographic issue that we are seeing in China and relative advantage or disadvantage that India has with its larger population. Scientific research and development is what will also set apart this two countries, China's investment in research and development is around 660 billion compare to India at 62 billion. When it comes to debt, China does have debt but China also saving country, Chinese saving is equivalent of 45% of its GDP that is unmatched by any other country, if we look at the deficit the country is running China is running a budget deficit of 200 billion while the US is running a budget deficit of 1.2 trillion. When you talk about Chinese navy, you need to remember they have the 2nd largest navy in the world, they are also have one of the top 2 ship building industry in the world. I would put China far above India, Germany, UK, France. When we consider where China is in term of its military and economic power, it is far above the other four, in term of richness in natural resources China is considered the 6th best nation in the world. In the next two decades we are going to see China as the nation that consolidate its supply chain.
Nope. Far off

At 20:12 content creator doesn't imply Kashmir as part of India. It is a misrepresentation of India's political boundaries. Entire state of Jammu and Kashmir, including Aksai Chin and PoK are an integral and inalienable part of India. sufficient understanding of Indias boundary is essential to better gauge such comparison.
Good analysis so far. A couple of points though. You forgot to take into account that Italy has a strong millitary industry, a powerful navy, and a larger economy than Russia (I am not Italian btw). It may not have projected power outward until now due to internal political issues, but with a different leadership it could play an important role in Europe and the Mediterranean. Definately not D tier. As for the EU being on the decline, I think your analysis is a bit outdated; also Germany seems to have cast their die now after Ukraine.
One must understand, it's not 2 atomic bombs that made Japan to surrender. As there was no more bombs like this comings soon, and "normal" bombs did a LOT more damage previously, so it's like it mattered much.

In a Geopolitical Term that means India is only Second to US and Unlike Other nation's having Either Falling Demographics, Less soft power or are way dependent on other great powers India is much better in Place even than China while China might be the Second strongest Military right now but they have more Enemies and their Power Projection get easily Neutralized by US, Southeast Asian Nation's and Japan together while instead of showing Power Projection by Challenging Other nation's India shows Power projection by Saving Cargo ships with their Partners in Indian Ocean such as UK, Australia or US which not only shows Power projection but also sends a goodwill as No one will see you as Agressor but as a Net security Provider While China is opposite of it if it wasn't the case they would have been on S-Tier or Atleast Ahead of India you can say India even after being so powerful that their military is Right Next to US and China but still around the world Common people wouldn't feel Threatened From them that is your Soft power in the end India is almost S-tier but for some reasons they can't reach that level for other 1 or 2 decades while I can't say the same for Russia and other A-Tier nations except China.
I find this classification unscientific lacking statistical data and criteria (which by the way is without marking e.g which criteria is to be awarded 1 and which should be awarded 2 , so on and so forth)For example when talking about soft power , which country's banks lend more to other nations apart the Imf and world bank and which country is leading in most of the future technologies. Which country is the biggest manufacturer and exporter of goods. This country is even considered as the most serious competitor by the most advanced countries . Which country has lifted 800 millions people out of poverty in only a few decades. Their industrial is such, that the advanced economies are now pleading it to slow its production capacity. These are a few of the foremost criteria to consider before making your classification. As regards demographic there are many solutions to address this issue and it is not an unsolvable problem.
India is definitely A tier but nowhere near the 'almost S Tier' you are mentioning. It's ok to love your country and being patriotic but c'mon, be a little more objective...

While India was pwned by a small group of Britons. Literally a tiny-tiny group of Britons pwned the entire subcontinent.

NATO hasn’t shown up yet. Sometimes NATO countries are even suspending aid like the US did and Russia still takes massive casualties for little gain that they don’t even know that they’ll be able to keep by next year. If you want to know how a NATO vs Russia fight would end up look at the battle of Khasham. They would get wiped out.

First of all, kindly use correct map of India. Whole Jammu-Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh are integral part of India. How can you use false map of India?
Secondly, we believe that China is much ahead of us in terms of economic power, not militarily as India always maintain huge military and arsenals for two-front wars anytime.
So, we would keep China ahead of India in terms of economic power.
But another point is that China have fights with western world and China recently declared russian territories as Chinese land, whereas India is friendly towards western countries and even for Russia and Iran, Saudi Arabia. So, India is much powerful in this global power game against china.
The idea that any European country is more powerful than Japan is a ridiculous notion. It straight up doesn't make any sense. Japan's economy is bigger than all of those and it being the most indebted country doesn't matter much as it's mostly owed to itself whilst having been the world's biggest creditor for last 33 years. It's military is also vastly more powerful than France, Germany or UK such as having a bigger navy than UK and France combined. Germany's military is extremely weak compared to Japan. Politically, it influences more people than UK, France and Germany. Just the fact that it's a much more important diplomatic partner for India, China, US and ASEAN and close to EU gives it more leverage than the 3 European countries. It's birth rate is along the same lines as Germany, Russia, UK and it's always blown out of proportion for Japan for some unknown reason when it's clearly a global phenomenon and it'll still have a larger population than the European countries and comparable to Russia in next 50 years. It's cultural power through games, anime, manga, tourism, food and more is only matched by the US and in Asia, where most people in globe live, it even beats out the US.
It's impossible to say that France, Germany, UK are more influential WW than Japan as they don't beat Japan in any metric. India is also less influential still. Russia is debatable. China and the US are the only countries more powerful than Japan. It just seems very strange to me how you'd consider these countries as being more powerful?
No, India is more influential, within next 2 years india's economy is gonna overtake Japan's. India's military is way more powerful than Japan's. India has got nukes. India has young population whereas Japan has got older population. I agree that Japan is more influential than Germany, not sure of Uk and France though. Only two things Japan has in their court against india is their soft power and geography. Japan has got anime, manga, and games. Whereas india is known for its food and movies. And india is surrounded by hostile countries like Pakistan and China, and india had border disputes with both of them.
Japan is a USA vassal. It has A SELF DEFENCE FORCE and not a full fledged armed forces unit, it is home to hundreded of AMERICAN PERMANENET MILITTARY BASES. Use common sense
No European country compares to Japan, mainly due to geography. But Russia is on a different level to any country on the planet. Russia's only weakness is her relatively small internal market. Other than that, Russia's advantages absolutely dominate any other country on earth, including China & the USA.

As an Indian origin individual, as many biases as I might have against China, its a clear S-tier country. They have a powerful economy, having the largest GDp on a PPP basis, the strongest Global Supply Chain in the world, with trade relations everywhere, a population only 2nd to India now. With their only weaknesses being poorer relations with the West, and the early stages of population ageing.

Kashmir is part of Bharat and Arunachal too. So, Everything fine, But please use correct "Indian Map" Thats all 🙏🏻🕉🇮🇳
Weird list, really.
The three super powers (US, China, Russia) belong in the S-tier.
1) China is the industrial superpower that could outproduce the entirety of the West militarily if it so chose... much as the US outproduced Germany and Japan in WWII.
2) Russia is the world's 4th largest economy by PPP terms - a recent thing, as the IMF recalculated its formula); has the best air defense and military industrial base in the world (with the possible exception of China); is the world's largest producer of commodities; has the greatest number of nukes; and has extremely good relations with the Global Majority
The US, on the other hand: is reliant on obsolete military technology (aircraft carriers, and a huge number of obsolete aircraft); has hollowed out its industrial base; has completely destroyed its moral authority and soft power abroad due to its blatant support for Israel's genocide; and is in the process of seeing its financial supremacy fail as the world de-dollarizes at an accelerated pace.
Yes, the US is still powerful, but it is no longer in a class of its own.
And FFS, the UK as a A-tier power? With less than 100 working tanks and a flagship that can't leave port anymore? This was a lazy hack job.

@@aditube8781, @willaimoconnell9430 , @indiafirst3676
Kudos to Indiafirst for actually replying with an intelligent comment.
Regardless, the fact that the world consists of three superpowers (with the US as the prime superpower, China as a close second, and Russia as a distant third) is not simply my estimation. Rather, it is the opinion of the world's most respected geopolitical analysts, such as Professor John Maershiemer.
I simply agree with him in this instance.
To address Indiafirst's points:
Diplomacy: India has sought to position itself as a leader of the non-aligned movement, with moderate success. This has not worked out for India as well as India would have hoped, especially in a world being divided between the West and the Global Majority.
Russia may indeed be on the outs with the West, but it has some very strong partnetships/alliances with China, North Korea, Vietnam, Belarus, Iran, and even India. These are allies that have demonstrated the ability and willingness to stand with Russia even in the face of intense pressure from the West.
India's allies lie on both sides of the global divide, and that is an enormous problem. India's foreign policy was formed during more naive times for India, and it is only now becoming clear to India that being an 'ally' of the US means being subordinate to the US in foreign policy matters, and being willing to sacrifice Indian national interests in favour of pursuing the US' geopolitical interests. Japan discovered this with the Plaza Accord, and Germany discovered this when the US blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
Demographics: Demographics mean nothing if they can not be leveraged properly. China had excellent demographics under Mao, but is doing far, far better now with much worse demographics.
However, India's demographics may indeed be coupled with better industrial and economic policies in the future to propel India into the ranks of the superpowers. Hopefully that day will come sooner, rather than later.
Best of luck, India. Choose your allies more carefully though.
