Reply to comment by [deleted] in Most G20 nations condemn Russia for war, China silent by bluelotus214

This just in: two wrongs make a right

Also, you ever hear the saying “you’re only as good as your last job”? Maybe not…

Hilarious. He was joking, yet you took seriously. Indian nationalists are comedy gold.

Having sustained a genocidal invasion as you say, you'd think there'd be more sympathy for Ukraine's suffering in India.

But no, just bitter resentment and an ad-hoc reliance on 'such and such happened way back when'.

It's blatant nationalistic opportunism, you can't possibly believe Russia hasn't had imperial leanings since their inception.

But sure, snub your democratic allies for a madman's pipedream. I'm sure you'll make for considerate bed-fellows with Russia's best bud, China.

So it's in India's national interest to align themselves with Russia and China? Because that's the axis your advocating. Can you at least condemn the concept of empire?

Cutting through the bullshit, let's all just admit that India has fallen victim to blind nationalism and is ironically pursuing its own version of modern empire.

History taught you nothing. Opportunists, as I said.

How very diplomatic of you, I can see valid concerns are met considerately in India. Never mind UN participation, just have your delegate put up a sign that says 'Fuck off'. You're only supporting my opinion here.

Also, it will be impossible to sustain a relationship with Russia without eventually conceding to China. How shortsighted must you be to believe a victorious Russia wouldn't favour China to India?

Picture this. Putin's best imitation of the Nazis actually pans out and his empire swallows half of Europe. What the fuck do you think china is doing in the interim? Do you honestly think Russia and China won't conspire to nibble at their middle man, India? All of those grievances built up between your nations will be settled in one direction only: China's.

No- you should support Ukraine, who is being invaded and butchered. The US should not be part of the consideration.

But do you realize the irony of criticizing the US and others for decades ago (also centuries, per your other comments) doing what you are, today, trying to rationalize? Why can’t we all do the ethical thing RIGHT NOW, which is to condemn the aggressor and support the victim of literal genocide?

So ethics be damned in the name of perceived security? Maybe India and the West aren’t completely dissimilar. I hope we all some day evolve from this nonsense. I am sure supporting those actively violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries will help Indians feel more secure in theirs.
