For India during the Cold war and afterwards they were supporters and our supporters of Russia
It's why the United States supported Pakistan over India because India was more aligned with the Soviet Union/Russia
Force up to how in Africa and a lot of former colonial territories they supported the Russians because they didn't trust
And still don't trust the West
As for the west they support coup d'etaz in subs are in Africa and round world in their fight against influence
That's at least partially aligned with Americas and the Wests enemies
One of the reasons for the migrant crisis is due to the new cold war happening on the African continent and each side
Supporting different factions
The older cold war wasn't bloodless it was just the fighting was happening outside of the European and North American continents
