“Even in the most difficult situations, India and Russia have always walked shoulder to shoulder,” Modi said. “Our close cooperation is important not only for the people of both countries but also for global peace, stability and prosperity.”
“Had an excellent meeting with President Putin,” Modi said on X on Monday, adding that they had discussed cooperating “in all sectors, including trade, fertilisers, space, security and culture.”
“Our Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership remains a vital pillar of regional and global stability,” Modi said
ALL of this could have been avoided if the West wasn’t cowardly AF and struck back at Russia back in 2014!
the longer we wait the worse it gets, the harder it will be at the end!
Russia is a nuclear state run by a murderous sociopath. There were plenty of legitimate concerns about how they might react to aggressive military action. Personally, I’m not sure they even have any functioning nukes at this point but there’s not enough compelling evidence to back that theory up. Treating them with caution is still warranted.
That said, more should have been done to shore up Ukraine sooner. It was pretty obvious that annexing Crimes was just a test run of the broader objective.
you’re just letting him hold the world hostage with that reasoning.
there was an agreement to protect Ukraine. the West failed to uphold their part and now the entirety of democratic Western civilization is on the ropes.
It sounded to me like he was saying that prevention makes sense but intervention does not. By the time Russia can take a territory it’s unfortunately too late because actively fighting them to eject them escalates us toward nuclear conflict. That’s not letting him hold the world hostage, it’s saying we should prepare the world to resist him.
