Do you honestly believe that Russia is 1) competent enough to help you and 2) also not treacherous

Russia's economy is shit, their military is shit, their government is shit, and they've broke several international agreements.

If you want to support them commiting genocide and rape, that's you're prerogative, but at least be honest with yourself.

I think Russia's economy is shit because they are the only developed economy that shrank last year, yes. I think Russia's military is shit because despite a huge technological and equipment advantage, they failed to invade Ukraine and are pulling tanks from the 1950s into service, yes. I think Russia's government is shit because dictatorships are inherently flawed and weak and Putin has stolen hundreds of billions from the Russian people, yes.

Good luck allying with them though, it's not like they stabbed Ukraine in the back or were planning to stab Belarus in the back or anything. Hope it works out great for you.

👍

Also I like how you yourself included "Russia hasn't stabbed us in the back yet"

Lmao

I can see where you are coming from, however I don’t see Russia coming to India’s aid in a conflict with Pakistan, at least in the foreseeable future . Recently a member Of CSTO (nato’s counterpart, which Russia is a part of) has been in a military conflict and yet Russia refuses to help.

This just in: two wrongs make a right

Also, you ever hear the saying “you’re only as good as your last job”? Maybe not…

Hilarious. He was joking, yet you took seriously. Indian nationalists are comedy gold.

Having sustained a genocidal invasion as you say, you'd think there'd be more sympathy for Ukraine's suffering in India.

But no, just bitter resentment and an ad-hoc reliance on 'such and such happened way back when'.

It's blatant nationalistic opportunism, you can't possibly believe Russia hasn't had imperial leanings since their inception.

But sure, snub your democratic allies for a madman's pipedream. I'm sure you'll make for considerate bed-fellows with Russia's best bud, China.

So it's in India's national interest to align themselves with Russia and China? Because that's the axis your advocating. Can you at least condemn the concept of empire?

Cutting through the bullshit, let's all just admit that India has fallen victim to blind nationalism and is ironically pursuing its own version of modern empire.

History taught you nothing. Opportunists, as I said.

How very diplomatic of you, I can see valid concerns are met considerately in India. Never mind UN participation, just have your delegate put up a sign that says 'Fuck off'. You're only supporting my opinion here.

Also, it will be impossible to sustain a relationship with Russia without eventually conceding to China. How shortsighted must you be to believe a victorious Russia wouldn't favour China to India?

Picture this. Putin's best imitation of the Nazis actually pans out and his empire swallows half of Europe. What the fuck do you think china is doing in the interim? Do you honestly think Russia and China won't conspire to nibble at their middle man, India? All of those grievances built up between your nations will be settled in one direction only: China's.

No- you should support Ukraine, who is being invaded and butchered. The US should not be part of the consideration.

But do you realize the irony of criticizing the US and others for decades ago (also centuries, per your other comments) doing what you are, today, trying to rationalize? Why can’t we all do the ethical thing RIGHT NOW, which is to condemn the aggressor and support the victim of literal genocide?

So ethics be damned in the name of perceived security? Maybe India and the West aren’t completely dissimilar. I hope we all some day evolve from this nonsense. I am sure supporting those actively violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries will help Indians feel more secure in theirs.
