I see India has saved themselves £4bn since the invasion through purchasing Russian oil. They have went from 2% imports of Russian oil to 20%

Kneejerk reaction but why should the UK continue to give aid to India, a country that not only will not condemn the invasion of Ukraine but actively supports it happening by purchasing vast amounts of Russia oil.

Back handers, this is obvious.

I asked an Indian colleague at work about this a while back and he said they don’t support Russia, they don’t support anyone. They just look after themselves. Even if a bigger war broke out they would sit back and ignore it all.

Fair play to them tbh.

Then why should the rest of the World help out with humanitarian aid in return?

I appreciate it may be more nuanced that that but does it need to be?

Relatively speaking it's a drop in the ocean compared to the value we get from them (low cost outsourcing etc). Until the entire economical model is rewritten, it isn't really a headline issue imo.
 
I suppose there are two things to consider.

If India is paying less per barrel than it costs Russia to produce, then it's still damaging Russia.

And if India were to stop buying Russian oil, then the price per barrel for everyone else would increase as there would be more competition for the remaining sources.
 
Whatever you want to call it, the Tories seeing fit to enable a man of Indian descent with hugely wealthy and influential relations back there to become the unopposed leader and Prime Minister it isn't going to end any time soon...

Quite frankly the country's gone beyond any practical redemption and will become culturally unrecognisable within the next two generations, maybe sooner.

Say what you will about Putin, he's not allowed Russia's cultural and racial identity to be stolen by a liberal agenda. All credit to him.

Nor does he allow some psalm singing hypocritical churchman to attempt to undermine government policy.

‘Aid’ = backhand deals that can’t be disclosed to the public.

Maybe we shipped them some Tornados :cry:

In all seriousness seems an odd one even though they've proven quite adept at adapting Western armaments onto Soviet platforms, etc. (also an interesting one they are doing with captured T-62s is turning them into something a bit like the BMP-T using salvaged BMP turrets).

Last I was in St Petersburg there was open hostility towards Putin and how he had stolen all the wealth from the population for himself and those connected to him.

That's your idea of not allowing 'Russia's cultural and racial identity to be stolen'? He's been shafting the Russia population for his own ends for years and the 'liberal agenda' talk is just a smokescreen while he's picked their pockets.

Just be aware of the fact it is happening in more places than just Russia before you idolise a warmonger.

Sunak wasn't unopposed, this was his second attempt at the top job. He lost to Truss in the first one, and beat Mordaunt in the second.

He's attempting to replace Ukraine's cultural and racial identity with Russia's. How do you feel about that?

You're in for a rude shock when you learn about the relationship between the Orthodox Church and the Kremlin.
 
It will be interesting to see how they launch it, cause i assume if its ground based it might effect the range.

Also it brings up the question of announcing these things, it takes away an element an of surprised and allow for preparations to counter it.

Yea but he doesn't like blacks and gays, so he's a good 'un in Chris' eyes.

Systemic corruption and wealth stripping of it's populous to the point it's weakened the entire fabric of the country is perfectly acceptable if it 'sticks it to the libs' and a bit of genocide on the side only enhances the image for such a bootlicker.
