Very interesting hypothesis. JPR: Here are some points to ponder. 1) Judging from the Sino-US relations of late it is hard to imagine that the U.S is trying to isolate China. 2) Chinese economic policies will enable them to propel themselves to a superpower status while India and Russia would most likely lag behind mostly due to their own inept policies. 3) Nuclear capabilities will have less importance in the future as economics and quality of life will take precedence over military power. 4) India/Russia military cooperation is heading for trouble. I heard couple of days ago [it is in all Indian papers] Yeltsin sent a letter to Vajpayee urging him to sign CTBT or else Russia would not supply any further military equipments to India. And if India refuses the most likely scenario would be that Russia will ask for their payments from India for equipments provided thus far which is close to 280 billion rupees which is about 6.5 billion dollars thus putting the squeeze on India. So whether CIA knew about the N.test or not doesn't seem all that important in the larger scheme of things.
