      To be fair Britain made India as dysfunctional as possible in the process of colonizing it. The UK on the otherhand is barely helping Ukraine.

      Doesn’t make it ok but context matters.

      Fuck the BJP but at the same time, why should Asia follow it’s former European enslavers. We know British or the west doesn’t care for Ukraine only for a weaker Russia and India is playing both sides as a massive economy. Good for them!

          I personally do care for Ukraines sovereignty, but I’m from Europe, if me speaking on why Indians don’t logically care about Ukraine makes you so butthurt, it proves my point that India can play both sides and shouldn’t care

        Buddy India basically has no friends. China is right there too, Australia pretty easy now a days as well. Iran isn’t far off either. Bypassing that they could have gone with Japan or Ethiopia.

        As for Europe, they still had many opportunities. Finland has never done anything to another country, being themselves captured most of history. Ireland doesn’t like the UK.

        At this point this could be seen as a very small attempt to get someone desperate on their side as an ally.

          Europe needs India, India doesn’t need Europe, most of the worlds manufacturing is now in China and India. Why you talking about Finland and Ireland when we both know who runs the western world… Last I checked Donald trump, Keir stammer, Emmanuel Macron arent fininish

              Okay buddy, no retort and echo chamber have scrambled your brain. The world doesn’t revolve around Europe and Americas perception of the world, your important topic isn’t the world’s. And I never said anything about explicit sides, only that India is currently playing both sides as a member of bricks and a occasional friend of America and Europe. One of the few smart policies they have actually

    Out of all places India has to be aware about casualty and karma. Enabling evil makes you evil.

      Not justifying, but India has no friends (as much as you can have in geopolitics). Makes sense they would trade with Russia for what they can get.

        That is at least partially their own fault for not being a friend. Plenty of countries have reached out over the years trying to be a friend.

          Oh open your markets, let us sell our products in your country, but no intellectual transfers, give us cheap labour but we won’t give you better farming technologies, you can lease those technologies, pay heavy royalties, we will sell you defense equipment, but we won’t teach you how to service them, we will charge you exorbitant fees to maintain your defense equipment.

          We are trying to be your friend, why won’t you be my friend?
