Isnt it time for India to be sanctioned?
I think India is doing a solid tbh. The whole world can't write off Russia, otherwise they are like a dog backed into a corner. By turning a blind eye to whatever small scale shenanigans they have with India, in my eyes, is OK. It is Russia's small olive branch...
 
More signs of Russias collapse

Russia has a replacement for the T90, the T14 Armata tank. Half way through development, India pulled out after some test tanks they were sent burnt out as the tank couldn't deal with the Indian Summer heat and they had no air conditioning for the crew. Fast forward a couple years and without the Indian money Russia can no longer run the program and produce its own T14 so the program was cancelled last December.


Now India says it still needs a new tank so it's going to make a tank itself and it's looking for countries who would license a technology transfer to it so India can built the tanks itself. And big surprise, Russia says it would be very glad to give India all the technology information on the T14 then India can fix the issues with the tank and build their own T14s - what Russia wants in return is money and to be able to buy T14 tanks from India

So in the end, Russia the once mighty tank industrial might is forced to buy tanks from India

They just don't stop do they?

After years of essentially outsourcing major infrastructural components to the rest of Europe/Asia/Americas and the resulting chaos it's caused them... with the absolute necessity of bringing this in-house during wartime they continue to stupidly rely on other countries to bail them out of their brain drain. It's fascinating, truly mind-boggling how a state can be so rotten that fundamental facets of statehood are effectively missing.

This is basically their obituary.

I thought "rt" was banned. I am not angry, just disappointed.

They always use the same tactics. It seems to be the same tactics as Rashka uses in a war against Ukraine that stuck to them since wwI. They probably could have steam rolled through Ukraine in 2014, but for some reason did not and since then the ship has sailed.
So, CrispyKarma has less karma points as he/she/it failed theire task. You can swap to your alt account again.

The outsourcing industry will come under pressure vs selling tanks and cash to russia.
A large number of US companies outsource with the likes of InfoSys.. which our PM is married to..
That presents a key critical agenda point at the next general election.. and has probably had quite a few security eyes on (US and others).

Possibly, but keep your enemies close and all that. I highly doubt India would be all that bothered in telling us exactly where the kill switch is lol.

Stockholm syndrome in full view.
After so many years and money pumped they got nothing and now they are still willing to buy smth. Is the T34 technology still relevant...
 
India have their own agenda (also there is a fair amount of anti-UK due to the colonialism and border changes that have happened over the last 200 years - I can understand that).

India wants to be self sufficient which is good, and i think now it’s more aware of russia and china’s plans they will plot a path to position themselves better within that landscape.

I imagine the UK's immigration policy w.r.t India is our inherent defence to this situation.
 
Just want to add for all the people pro ukraine and full of the support.
You can easily travel there and get geared up and start shooting.
Anyone?
Anyone?
No!!

My wife did many years of work in Ukraine working in hospitals and orphanages. Her organisation is in Ukraine now helping with food, housing and evacuations including Bahkmuht a few days ago, whom we support. What did you do to help Ukraine?
 
Is interesting to look back at the "news".
When this began the invasion was conscripts and trainees and poorly equipped russians suffering huge losses would be over as soon as it began.
Then it turned into these Russians are elite rapists and genocidal maniacs killing women and children after raping them of course.
We also had intercepted phone calls of Russian women advising their men how best to rape women and children.
Then we had reports that russia is losing all its aircraft and choppers. And of course ships in the sea.
one event turned out to be a merchant ship on fire.
Then Russians were being forced into service and fleeing and deserting.
Then Russians had lost nearly all or most of their tanks and armour.
And now Russia has lost half its armour or more and 97% of the Russia armed forces is in Ukraine?
I do not doubt all of this I doubt a fair bit of it but you can go off and google away is interesting the news we have had.
Armchair generals Russia would be done in a month and here we are....
The thing for me that still intrigues me totally is no one no one is trying to stop this.
So no one in the west supports ending ukraine deaths.
We all support a total fight to the end or nothing of the ukranian people?
Way to go our support for the people!!!
We are with you until you are all dead?
Why do we have a WW2 Japanese all or nothing to the death style stance as long as we are making money reloading arms? Why if we are the good guys are we not trying to end this war and save the people?
And if the reason is because Putin bad etc etc then why are we not stepping forward and going full on WW3 and putin if you pardon the pun putin an end to it all?
I stopped reading halfway through this absolute train wreck of a post. Not just because of the content which is delusional but because I'm a little confused on how its supposed to be read, am I supposed to read this like a ******* poem or something?

Yes we do, and the simplest way to achieve this is for Putin to withdraw his forces. Which is what we've been demanding all along.

Best results for reducing Ukrainian deaths (well and Russian) in order of overall result.
1) Russia withdraws, optimum solution. Highly unlikely
2) Negotiated peace with good actors, almost as good as optimum solution. Highly unlikely and one of the actors (Russia) is proven to be a serial liar and completely untrustworthy.
3) We give Ukraine the best equipment we can to smash the Russian forces and kick them back to Russian soil asap, far from optimum, but best real world likely solution. Pretty likely to happen, but deaths will be high on both sides.

We all hope for them in that order. But none of us expect 1 or 2 to happen real world.

Russian shillbots, panty wetters, wierdos, etc etc think its
1) Ukraine gives up, optimum solution.
2) We pretend we can negotiate with a serial liar and expect them to honour it.
3) Any other thing is war mongering, and supporting death.
 

The main thrust of the trade embargo, worth €11bn a year, is to stop sales of high-tech items that can be used in Russian weapons systems.
This includes electronics, lasers, radio equipment, software, avionics, marine cameras, and rare-earth minerals, according to documents seen by EUobserver.
The list drills into minutiae, specifying items such as "molecular beam epitaxial growth equipment" (used in nanotechnology) and "4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine" (a precursor for making nerve toxins).
It also designates — for the first time ever — eight Iranian firms to be added to the dual-use export ban for supplying UAVs to Russia.
The companies are the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Research, the Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization, Oje Parvaz Mado Nafar Company, Paravar Pars Company, Qods Aviation Industries, Shahed Aviation Industries, and Concern Morinformsystem–Agat.
Another part of the new trade ban is meant to strike at Russia's industrial capacity more broadly speaking.
This miscellaneous list includes "bidets, lavatory pans, flushing cisterns and similar sanitary ware", as well as LEDs, hemp yarn, fork-lift trucks, mail-sorting machines, chimney pots, bricks, tyres, and even "pen nibs and nib points".

They probably think a bidet is a drinking fountain anyways.
