Russia is well and truly back on the world stage and their power will only increase. What with their SCO alliance with China and other nations they are a very powerful force.
I see India is now keen to head towards the SCO to, they can see the writing on the wall for the west probably:- India keen to deepen its security-related cooperation with SCO: Salman Khurshid | Business Standard

I note India also supports Russia and China over Syria to. So that's the main three new global powers lining up against the west, the fourth (Brazil) is with them to, also key regional players like Iran.

Its hard to know where we in the west have gone so wrong, our little wars have made us rather unpopular the world over and driven nations to support our rivals, the truth is our rivals seem to have a more logical world view than our own leaders. But then again all empires rise and fall, it seems to me in many ways we in the west have had our day, for now.
