Oh? Lets face it. US invaded a democracy (India) to support a genocidal military destroying democracy in a land (erstwhile East Pakistan), threatened it with nuclear weapons and a communist regime come to its rescue. So much for the support of democracy! Its interests that matter after all.
You know, who Mr. Pennywise the Canadian Clown brought in his entourage with him on an official visit to India? A Khalistani Canadian terrorist convicted of murdering an Indian religious/political leader.
Not no more.
This happened long after the invasion, so don't try using it as a reason for the invasion. You know how causality works right.
That is not the same as being under a current and full-out invasion and you know very well that it isn't, so stop playing word games. Under conditions like what Ukraine is under, countries tend to use their nuclear arsenal, never mind banning a few political groups.Actually they have both been actively trying to break up India. The Chinese since the 60s through Naxals, Maoists NE terrorists and the Pakistanis through Kashmir and Punjab.

The Naxals are still considered to be India's biggest threat.
Maoism remains India’s biggest internal security threat
Managing India’s internal security cannot be a part-time job. There are too many challenges, and too many critical decisions to be made on a regular basis. An internal security ministry needs to be hived off from the MHA — the secretary of the ministry must be a specialist, either a serving or...www.hindustantimes.com
The West looked the other way when China began funding insurgencies in India since the 70s. Still are.
While all the insurgencies are fizzling out, now the West is supporting Khalistani terrorists, in Britain and Canada, a threat that died in the 80s.
It will take a very long time for the West to actually fix relations with India. I'm guessing 20-30 years at the minimum, unless there's a big war involving India and China.
IF IF IF.... You sound like Obama. It would be the same threat to Russia if missiles were placed in Latvia or Estonia, but they weren't. It is the same threat to EU capitals if missiles are placed in Kaliningrad. None of your assertions hold any logic when followed up and you have zero evidence for any of your claims. This war was all about Russia taking control of Ukrainian oil and gas supplies to remove open-market competition to its own oil and gas supplies to the EU. But based on the news this morning, it will have lost that completely by 2030 regardless of how this war goes, all due to the fact they started it. Do yourself a favour and learn from their mistakes.
The threat of Moscow getting hit with 10 minute nukes would prevent it, as per the Cold War stance with West Germany. If you invade you get nuked, that is the whole point of WMDs. The term 'strategic depth' has no bearing on the ability to fire nuclear missiles.Yes, you do. How will the Baltic protect itself from an invasion, if it happens?

The population there and in Crimea were disenfranchised because Putin annexed them and prevented them taking part in the elections you fool. Putin literally stopped them from voting and then blamed Ukraine. Systematic genocide my *censored*. Putin sent saboteurs over the border to attack troops and then when authorities clamped damn he cried genocide, same as in Georgia, same as Hitler did in Poland prior to WWII. The west does not need to do shit like this because people actually want to live here, that's why immigrants flock here. Immigrants do not flock to Putin. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Language laws are not disenfranchisement. Even Russian Russians would rather live in the EU, why do you suppose Ukrainian Russians would be any different? The EU support genocide? Now I've heard it all, the EU would rather allow its own people to be genocided than even implement sensible border policies.
So independent countries should not be allowed to join organisations as they see fit? Maybe India should be bombed for joining BRICS perhaps? Your excuses and justifications are all complete shit.Zelensky came to power and things went to sh!t. At first he was against the Language law, pulling wool over the eyes of Russians who voted for him en masse in 2019 because they saw Poroshenko as an enemy. But he continued supporting the Language law.
Then, he made constitution amendments saying Ukraine will join NATO and the EU.
Ukraine President Signs Constitutional Amendment On NATO, EU Membership
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has signed a constitutional amendment committing the country to becoming a member of NATO and the European Union.www.rferl.org
The West kept encouraging Zelensky to apply, with no actual intention of allowing Ukraine to join. And when he applied, the Russians decided to invade.
War time policy. None of these bans were in place at the time of the invasion. Poroshenko, I don't know the full story, and neither do you.
So why did Putin add to his demands the signing over of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea officially, as well as not joining NATO or the EU? Something to do with where the oil and gas is I believe.
No, they did not invade India. They were trying to block Indian intervention in Bangladesh, then part of allied Pakistan.
You know very well what I mean. When China is 10-20 miles from Delhi and Mumbai, then come back and talk to me about disenfranchisement of pro-Chinese elements within Indian parliament.
How dumb do you have to be to park several ships within the range of rocket artillery?
Ukraine Says It Destroyed A Large Russian Ship
Ukraine said on Thursday it had destroyed a large Russian landing support ship, the Orsk, at the Russian-occupied port of Berdiansk on the Sea of Azov.www.ndtv.com
Time for the Russian fan boys to accept the reality.

Irish PM is ANGRY with India
Taoiseach says India's stance on Ukraine 'unacceptable'
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said India's position on Russia's invasion of Ukraine is "unacceptable".www.rte.ie
I think this list merely conveys quite inadvertently why Ukraine is never going to win this war . It's not because of this list that Russia's winning tbh . This just tells that if these are the losses suffered by the Russians , one can only imagine what's it like for the Ukranians. Another example as I've pointed out before of the Irishification of the western media & it's audiences.List of killed/captured/missing Russian officers, March 24 (farewell to the 331st VDV regiment)

I don't think you've the slightest clue of what the Bangladesh war was, Paddy. We're talking of in excess of 10 million refugees being hosted by India when we ourselves were dirt poor in addition to 3 million Bangladeshis mostly Hindus being genocided by Pakistani troops there.
Oh no, Paddy! We don't need to wait that long before we act & do we need your validation. I mean what exactly gives? Why would we need your approval for what we think is in our supreme interest?
How many national leaders would be prepared to accept a peace deal that involves handing over mainland territory? Zero.
A peace deal could also be a cease fire Paddy. After all that's what's keeping the peace in the Korean peninsula. There's no agreement barring a cease fire there.
