My thoughts exactly. India has increased their purchases of Russian oil by over 500%, which as a percentage (but not overall) is greater than any other of Russia’s trading partners

India wild scream if it was at war with Pakistan and the west was trading with them, effectively finding their war efforts against a india but has no problem backing Russia because of historical friendliness going back to partition and the Soviet era.

This may not matter to some but India was the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement and pushed other nations to not become willing pawns or satellites of the superpowers.

Looks like India has forgotten its position as an erstwhile mora leader among nations and will now pay Putin to kill Ukraine as long as they can make some profit.

Modi has Ukrainian blood on his hands. Karma will come and find India’s leaders and the voters who back fascism.

India would be against that but not surprised. India has been at war with Pakistan about 4 times but the west is yet to stop trading with Pakistan, US even keeps arming them from time to time. Profit over morals ig that's how it works with everyone.

Non alignment is exactly what India is doing right now, they are not siding with anyone in the conflict to come out of it with as less harm as possible.

India may be "non-aligned," lol, but Modi is 100% aligned with the global fascist movement and has been for years. Ian Bremmer wrote a whole song about it.

Why are the Europeans paying Putin to kill Ukrainians too then?

Also the West did trade quite a bit with Pakistan while India was at war with them. Sold them arms, and subsidized their war effort too, tf are you on about lmao?

International diplomacy doesn't work like that.. it still haunt me how after having mess almost on enitere middle east and Afghanistan west can stand on moral high ground on any fuckin conflict.. reality lies that west perception of heroes are what to whom they support..

Kinda like how Mujahideen were the ones that were defender of Afghanistan against Soviets and became taliban (a facist religious organization) that need to be destroyed..

Like how the Emirates qatar oman Bahrain have authoritarian rule but it's good..

Like how the Saudi which funded Wahabism for like decade weren't the bad guys at all but gadaffi and sadamm definitely deserved death..

What's happening in Ukraine have different perspective from different aspects.. was war preventable to not go to death of the last ukrianian yup ...
