And how is that related here? I am not even gonna try to explain how no one is supporting Russia and all the nuance about geopolitics cuz u guys clearly dont understand all that.

Instead lets be basic. U dont see me calling out USA for its support of SA on every post or its horrendous history on every post that mentions USA.

>It’s a moral obligation

God I havent read a more stereotypical "reddit armchair hero complex" moment type comment in my life. If u guys got rid of that insanely cringe hero complex then maybe at least ur ignorant ass would be a bit tolerable.

>Indias picked its side, it chose the side of genocide

Dont know which genocide is going on in Ukraine but u mean like the west did in 71? And if Ukraine is genocide then Israel, Saudi Arabia should also count, no? Not to mention the countless invasions of the ME in the past decades. Also the fact that Europe still buys way more than India and is the main funder of the war? India supports itself and its own needs. The west and even Ukraine have always stood against it in the past. We arnt ur slaves to suck u off after u fuck us and fund terrorists in Pakistan.

U can show ur moral high horse when ur degenerate west is completely clean of its sins which it never will be. First u guys learn to accept ur issues with dignity and the sides u chose cuz u clearly think u r some hero which u r not by a mile.

But this is not the game they play. The west reserves the divine right to bomb anyone they wish whenever they wish. The ones they decide to bomb automatically become "genocidal regime".

But the real "serial genocidal regime" is the west itself. Glad that countries are calling this hypocrisy out.

India isn't being neutral no matter how much they pretend to be neutral.

The west says India shouldn't ignore human rights in ukraine. Watch this video :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHZbeLdVxnY&t=0s

A transgender woman in india talks with obama and all he has to say are empty words. Aren't their rights human rights in the west now? Why didn't he risk USA's relations with india just for a single human right issue by saying indian law is wrong? Why was he so annoyingly diplomatic and careful? That's the same reason india maintains it's ties with russia.

Morons who tout morality on reddit should remember that they would turn out nazi if they were born in germany in the 30's. Either have some nuance or you might as well not bother having an opinion and wear a sign that says "racist".

Nope. Whataboutism.

The technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.

Nope

It's the same issue. Where else would India get their energy? The US that's much worse than Russia?

Or where is this criticism for Europe that's buying a lot more

But nope, if the West did it then it's okay. God forbid India trying to survive the world that's gone to shit due to these westerner geopolitics

Whoa whoa

Whataboutism here

LMAO

But again, no problem

I mean Switzerland and Sweden and others doesn't have any issue with it, and they're directly neighbours

Why should some country thousands of miles away directly removed from everything has to take the sacrifice while the Europeans didn't

Yes he is pointing out your shear amount of whataboutism by doing exactly the same as you.

Yes I'm just being sarcastic

And again, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of the West

India and other neutral nations never got a problem with the recent crimes of the West, whether it's NATO or Russia's despot little empire

They're just pointing out the consistency of their position which has never change in this century or the previous one
