Russia is carrying out a series of large-scale military exercises with China, India and Pakistan in what experts believe is Moscow trying to send a powerful message to the West.

The military drills take place annually but Russia has upped the ante this year by inviting forces from China, India and Pakistan to take part in the drills.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu insisted earlier in September that the strategic military exercises are not directed against other countries but are instead focused on countering the threat from international terrorism. "The message is quite clear when it comes to Russia, it means that 'we're not alone, we have a lot of partners, we're not isolated so whatever efforts the West are trying to do against us we are still able to have powerful military alliances with China, India and Pakistan'," he said.Experts like Boulegue view the annual military drills with skepticism, especially when it comes to the number of military personnel and equipment involved.

OPEC, Russia Hold Off Pumping More Oil After Saudi AttackOPEC and Russia are so far holding off pumping more oil to fill potential gaps in global supplies after an attack in Saudi Arabia over the weekend led to a major crude disruption, officials said.

Even a small mistake can become the only thing necessary to achieve great success So...everyone can be extorted by the ultra-wealthy petroleum interests who have a history associated with violence and pollution...
