Well, I guess if Russia is all set to win, there’s really no question of a risk of nuclear war or anything because the Rooskies are going to win it conventionally.
For much of the Cold War India, under Nehru, followed a strategy called ‘nonalignment” which basically meant playing both sides against each other.
Oh no. The dreaded “big oil”, the communist boogie man.
The Europeans have been snookered by a below average Joe. Bunch of dummies.
The only winner has been the globalists.
They adore Putin’s moves.
So that could have made him pro-Russian. Also, he looks forward to the day when the West will have less power in the world, and the US under Biden comes across as a strange combination of bully and wimp to much of the world, so they want us taken down a peg.
And this really is real.. really for real.
I know a person in Sweden whose energy agreement (they do some weird contract/subsidy thing) is going from $20k krona to 140k krona per year.
I had to ask the wife to verify. It didn’t sound possible, but it is.
That’s some horrendous math - can’t see how it ends well.
“ So that could have made him pro-Russian.”
He is not just pro Russian. He served there during the height of the Cold War and at a time when India and Russia were especially close. He is brainwashed in pro Soviet/ anti American propaganda.
Expect numerous mushroom clouds within a generation...
This really is a hilarious and yet sad article. If this is what passes for an Indian Ambassador, no wonder they can’t solve their border disputes.
Zero understanding of Europe, as well.
I’m hoping to find a NUETRAL source of what’s happening there. It’s either RT or the pro Zelensky crap. Al Jazeera have any dogs in this race?
After the debacle in Afghanistan... anyone who believes that the Biden administration has the ability to engineer a winning strategy in Ukraine is smoking something stronger than marijuana. Yet in this thread we have many who are willing to suspend any smidge of common sense and follow Slow Joe, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, and the rest of the clown parade currently running this show along with our MSM propogandists like good little NeoCons.
Hey People!!! Wake Up!!! The Indian who wrote this article is not “against us” or “pro Putin”... he is quite simply stating the obvious. Biden is a blithering idiot... Putin is a seasoned and brutal dictator. Even if he wasn’t, actually had some serious health issues, or had some other debilitating issues... all the head commie has to do is limit his losses and wait this one out and he will prevail. The Biden administration and our European allies are not pursuing a winning strategy... I am not sure that they even care. It is really all about control, fleecing the taxpayers, and funneling the kickbacks into their own pockets. The losers are the Ukrainian people.
“For much of the Cold War India, under Nehru, followed a strategy called ‘nonalignment” which basically meant playing both sides against each other.”
It was only “non-aligned” vis-a-vis the USSR and the US; other than that, it had closer ties to Russia than it had to the US.
India seems to see Russia winning.
