Because we don't like the Chinese & UK following Brexit is a 3rd rate power .
Take the UK and US. Both democratic, both capitalist, both have independent executive, judicial and legislative, both support free speech, equality and civil rights. Both speak the same language. Their friends are our friends, and the same goes for enemies.That's how easy it is for India to checkmate the West with Russian help.
Then your are a fool. The CCP wouldn't even exist were it not for Russia and now China has Russia by the balls anyway.We are fine with it. It's only the West that has a problem with it.
In any case the 70% dependency figure is fake. It simply takes numbers at face value, without considering India's ability to take care of the equipment without Russian assistance. Like 96% of tanks and 100% of IFVs are Russian, but can be serviced in India without Russian involvement.
16% which they can buy from elsewhere at a slightly higher cost won't cause anything like the instability witnessed in Tiananmen Square in 1989, and they dealt with that, so they don't give two f*cks.Actually, China is much more accountable today in a certain sense than European govts. The Chinese can't afford instability, especialyl when it comes to the economy.
China can't financially afford to diversify away from Russia either. Otoh, Europe can pay its way out due to the large per capita difference. Maybe 10 years down the line, China can manage to do what Europe is doing, but not anytime soon.
Oil price doesn't matter to them as much due to their lower threshold for oil prices compared to other oil exporters. It's not about a monopoly.
With their imports sunk, their CAS will be pretty good this year, should more than make up for the lost reserves.
It's called being stuck in the past and not having a clue. China is even growing its GDP faster than yours despite being well ahead already.I learnt a new Word Today courtesy of PM Modi Not meeting FM of China and UK

Time for both of you to drop the charade & officially merge the 2 nations especially now that you've exited the EU & BJ's desperately seeking new FTAs , more so since your FS Liz Truss seems to have all the skills & charm of a poison ivy . I can see why BJ has his task cut out .Take the UK and US. Both democratic, both capitalist, both have independent executive, judicial and legislative, both support free speech, equality and civil rights. Both speak the same language. Their friends are our friends, and the same goes for enemies.
What exactly does India have in common with Russia aside from the fact that members of your citizenry occasionally like talking sh1t about 'the west'* as evidenced above?
*Even though it's been a long time since 'the west' was just the west, if it even ever was.
Then your are a fool. The CCP wouldn't even exist were it not for Russia and now China has Russia by the balls anyway.
?? What do you mean?Helicopters are lit.
It's sowed the wind dyslexic retard & village idiot not sewed the wind . The latter must be what you attempt at O'Shea's after a dozen Guinness's down .![]()
Moscow accuses Ukraine of conducting airstrike inside Russia
Moscow accused Ukraine of sending two helicopters to strike a fuel storage depot in the Russian city of Belgorod on Friday. If confirmed, this would be the first attack on Russian soil since the war began on Feb. 24.www.yahoo.com
Belgorod is about 20 miles inside the Russian border, Putin is probably wondering exactly where the frontline really is right now. This is now the second target hit inside Belgorod. And Putin has no right of complaint, he started this war, he invaded and he targeted ammo dumps and fuel depots inside Ukraine.
Or put another way, Russia started this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else and nobody was going to bomb them. Well they sewed the wind and now they're going to reap the whirlwind.
?? What do you mean?

Total censorship? Russell Brand is smoking away on YouTube. RT on the other hand are the mouthpiece of a war criminal, so they're gone.Frankly for a neutral party with no dog in the fight, it's a question of whose propaganda to believe in. I take both with a pinch of salt. The Russians are what they are just like the Chinese. I don't think their own people believe them or if they do they don't have a choice.
What I'm astounded by is the massive propaganda unleashed by the West & what's more the total censorship exercised by them most notably seen on SM platforms like Twitter FB & YT on opposing PoVs as well as the total belief in whatever they're dishing out.
I don't think you guys have calculated the effects this would have on observers & governments in a different part of the world.
Yup. I'm finally glad to see admission that the English invasions of Ireland 800 yrs ago was an in-house affair . That's what we were waiting 7 yrs for - an admission. Thanks for this . This is now officially, the collaborators version of history.
Who's want to invade you anyway? What exactly do you have of value that can be appropriated? There aren't any minerals or people talented in any of the traditional crafts or any of the proto industry like metal working, jewellery, textiles etc.
The English Scottish & Welsh successfully attempted an invasion which lasted 800 yrs & are now collectively reaping it's consequences beginning with Brexit . This is the revenge of the subaltern which in this case happens to be the Irish. Since you couldn't improve your lot, you brought down your former colonizers to your level. The ongoing media discourse on the Ukraine war & the public reaction in the West is a classic example of this.
Your highest GDP per capita is due in large part to the tax holidays you've provided to investors who've obliged you with their billions. How exactly has that helped foster a climate of innovation in Ireland? How many native Irish billionaires Paddy? Who's the richest Irishman ? Who's the next Taoiseach going to be? How many bottles of Guinness down at 11 am?
And people thought Islam was stupid.See , you can say anything
But I would like to inform you
That for us Hindus , Friendship is a Sacred thing , it is wired in our DNA
Even our Religious texts have examples of Friendship , where A Friend has turned against his brothers for his Friend and given up his Life , his kingdom for his friend because his Friend had been very helpful to Him in his BAD TIMES
Even 5000 years later that Man is considered a Hero though his friend was an Evil person
A country is not a person. The people in charge have all changed. Even your stupid analogies are non-applicable despite being ridiculous anyway.Today we feel Sad with all these Sanctions on Russia , And Russia is facing Tough Times BUT we
Will always Remember their Help gratefully . and will always CHERISH their Friendship
Bad Times dont last for ever
Good Friends are For Life
Who's Russel Brand ? Never heard of him .Total censorship? Russell Brand is smoking away on YouTube. RT on the other hand are the mouthpiece of a war criminal, so they're gone.
What's the population like retard ? You should be holding up RoI as an example to all such nations with a similar population size . India is a sub continent in more ways you can fathom. Jealousy of what or whom ? The day you have a nation which offers better tax breaks these mercenaries who've so enriched you would flock there.What they have is money, lots of it. What you have is a deep-seated jealousy that even a people you look down on are completely wiping the floor with you economically.
Congratulations . In the not too distant future you'd be back to Potato farming given the total absence of any innovation in your society. Till then enjoy your time under the sun .Furthermore RoI hasn't been independent for much longer than you, in fact less time, so there go all your excuses too.
I've always maintained you lack the vocabulary, powers of perception , necessary articulation & intelligence to make analytical posts .Thanks for playing. Back on ignore you go idiot.
And people thought Islam was stupid.
A country is not a person. The people in charge have all changed. Even your stupid analogies are non-applicable despite being ridiculous anyway.
An evil democracy that just wants to do the same as every other Eastern European democracy?Ukraine is an Evil country
It deserves to be destroyed
Ukraine's destruction is because of NATO's politics
Whether Russia wins or not , and how it deals with Sanctions is all IRRELEVANT for us Indians
But we know that Russia has Enormous Internal Strength and Capabilities
Russia is RIGHT , Ukraine is wrong
In other words, you're saying Russia is what UK was a century ago & desperately wishes to emulate today but can't given it's debilitating state made more emaciated since Brexit.An evil democracy that just wants to do the same as every other Eastern European democracy?
No, Ukraine's destruction is because Putin doesn't understand that the Soviet Union and the days of empires are over. One country does not possess another.
You're a f*cking idiot. I dare you to go anywhere in Eastern Europe and try arguing that. They've suffered under Russian autocracy for decades, they know who's right and who's wrong. If Russia had left the country in tact, everyone could have voted in internationally monitored elections, but Russia made sure that couldn't happen so that they could obscure right and wrong in the eyes of imbeciles at the other side of the world. Russia is Europe's Pakistan, they poor little green men aka saboteurs of peace over the border, stir up conflict, wait for a crackdown and then cry genocide. Georgia - 2008, Ukraine 2014-2022. They have conducted all invasions inside Europe since the end of WWII. Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Georgia, Ukraine. All invasions of democracies or people trying to establish democracy.
You can't say Russia is right and Ukraine is wrong and claim to support democracy.
The only signal I see is a signal that your membership of the Quad is a waste of time, since you wouldn't actually help anyone else in need anyway, you just joined in the hope that they might help you when you are in need. Partners like that are no partners at all.It is called STRATEGIC SIGNALLING![]()
