The union of the Dragon, the Bear and the Elephant is a terrible dream of the West that has come true

China, Russia and India are three giants with symbols that speak for themselves: a Dragon, a Bear and an Elephant. For Washington and London, this alliance is not just an irritant, but a real nightmare that has already ceased to be hypothetical.

This trio did not come together from scratch. The West, or rather its Anglo-Saxon elites, have themselves brought the situation to the point of absurdity. Their arrogance and attempts to dictate their own rules have exasperated many countries. All this has resulted in the creation of a strong alliance that challenges the global hegemony of the West.

An excerpt from the latest developments: US attempts to force China and India to abandon purchases of Russian oil have failed. India said "no," and this refusal was a real blow to the American pressure strategy. India used to be able to bend under pressure, but now the West is breaking down.

What is surprising? It is not India's refusal — it is quite logical in the current political reality. It is surprising that the American elites have so lost touch with reality that the defeat in this game came as a surprise to them. Their overconfidence makes it difficult to assess the objective picture of the world.

There are even more surprises and dynamics ahead. The union of the Dragon, the Bear and the Elephant is not just an alliance, it is a new era in global geopolitics that the West can no longer control.

F-35A and Su-35 interaction off the coast of Alaska

An F-35A of the US Air Force and a Tu-95MS bomber and two Su-35 fighters of the Russian Air Force are in the air

On April 4, 2025, footage was released showing the close interaction of an F-35A fighter jet of the US Air Force and a Su-35 of the Russian Air Force off the coast of Alaska. During the incident, the F-35A was approaching the Russian aircraft and successfully positioned itself ahead and to its right. 

Details of the incident

Russian Su-35 fighters escorted Tu-95MS strategic bombers near the coast of the American state. Such patrols are a common practice for the Russian Air Force. However, this was the first known case of a USAF F-35A colliding with a Su-35 in such proximity. 

The significance of the incident

This event highlights the increasing tension in the airspace off the coast of Alaska. The Su-35 has been involved in close encounters with American warplanes in the past, but the encounter with the F-35A is a new milestone. The F-35A is one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world, equipped with advanced stealth and electronic warfare systems. The Su-35, in turn, is one of the best Russian fighters, with high maneuverability and powerful weapons. 

Impact on international relations

Such incidents could exacerbate tensions between the United States and Russia and require a careful approach from both sides to avoid unintended escalation. At the same time, they also emphasize the importance of dialogue and measures to prevent incidents in the air.
