Your hypocrisy was called out and you want to ignore it.
Understandable.
I take it you won't be picking up *your* gun and fighting along side the Ukrainians until Russia meets terms you agree with.

The Indian government is supporting Russia, so it's no surprise to see a ton of Indians posting pro-Russian comments online.
You are utterly detached from reality.
You can always tell ex forces and if you can't they'll tell you.
I feel like India isn't looking at the bigger picture and is in for some unwelcome surprises when it comes to global politics in the longer run.
I think you're absolutely right. If India thinks she can play with the big boys, she is gravely mistaken.
Sovereignty?
Small countries deciding what they can do. Standing up to bullies….as long as they do what you say. Yeah.
is it going to be freedom curry’s from now on?
any update on the 1-2000 deaths at the Theatre?

Arnie is such a fantastic speaker. I imagine he has a speech writer but his delivery and tone is always spot on.
Tell that to the Ukraine people who, man and woman, have taken up arms to protect their land from the evil aggressor!
If they were all like you they would all be dead by now. Have some backbone for goodness sake!
When hitler rolled in Poland etc, did the people roll over for him? Did the UK kneel to him? No!
Costs are high but freedom from evil is more important.
Give Puty an inch and he will bulldoz a mile!
This wouldn't have avoided war. Joining NATO and/or posting NATO troops in Ukraine would have done. This isn't about NATO it is about stopping Ukraine becoming a prosperous, Western democracy. Ukraine has too many Russian speakers and too close ties with Russia. If it prospers, Russian's will know and the contrast with their mismanaged country will be stark.

That "deal" from the Russians is complete BS imo. It didn't offer anything in return, Russia is still acting like a bully.
Its awful, but I think Ukraine's better option is to keep fighting until the Russians go bankrupt - which needs the West to keep doing what we are doing: sanctions and supplying relevant arms, ammunition etc. Accepting what was on offer there just means Russia comes back later on. Russia is still suffering from some delusion that what they've done is acceptable, that idea needs to be well and truly knocked out of them.

What gave? Pretty much the entire Russian advance on every front. I never said it would end in a week.
Russia will never be able to take the whole country, they’ve lost. It’s now just a case of how much more damage are the Russians willing to take economically and militarily and how badly they hurt Ukraine in the process before they throw the hat in.
Blaming the ensuing death on the Ukrainians for not caving to crazy demands is ridiculous. All the blame can be placed at Putins door alone.
said before, Zelensky has used the nato excuse Russia feeds their people to give Putin an off ramp by offering not to join. Can only hope Putin takes it so he can twist it to look like a victory to the gullible at home and abroad as objective complete.
I have no idea what you are trying to say. My point is that if India thinks she stands to gain long term by sucking up to Russia, she is gravely mistaken. Russia is notoriously untrustworthy, far more powerful than India, and better placed to exploit any relationship they might develop, to India's detriment.
India is neither powerful enough nor rich enough to play these kinds of games with the big nations. She'd do better to keep out of it.
Agreed.
That's why we are cheering from the sidelines rather than joining in. That's why we are begging the Saudi's to open the taps just a little bit more, so we can fill our cars and heat our homes with the blood of Yemeni's Children. That's why we like having our clothes built by slaves.
Get out of here with your moral grand standing. We will let evil prevail if it benefits us and in this instance it doesn't benefit us.
Do you any examples of these supposed buffer states?

Yes, “La France” is the most common way for the French to refer to their homeland.
“Vive La France!”

Unfortunately this is the result of a far right BJP/RSS Hindu nationalist government, that’s trying to put negative spin on secular thinking and western ideals. It’s utterly pathetic and honestly would needs its own thread to go into.
It’s regressed indian politics and then global image over the last ten years considerably. It makes me so sad.
Sorry for slight detail I just wanted to clarify. Your average Indian person hates modi but cannot speak out very freely about it due to backlash and fear of being treated as an “anti national”.
