Too bad for Ukraine , sweetie. Mearshimer's ( heard of him ?) predicting rapid escalation by Russia to the extent of tactical nukes on military targets followed by cities.
Hard to believe but if Russia perceives it's being taken for granted by all those escalatory measures like supply of HiMars , MiG-29s , advanced howitzers , etc Putin the Khan of Russia would think like what US did when it dropped those nukes on Japan deciding it's not worth expending more men material & money than is necessary , in which case Biden may require multiple changes of adult diapers every hour.
Don't worry though , trailer parks won't be affected.
BJ was lucky to get out before you hit the ceiling , Paddy. Liz Truss , his likely successor looks like a likely candidate for alprazolam . Brings ahead the onset of menses though & induces stomach cramps.
I mean if I were Putin & she were to come with a peace offer , I'd nuke her rather than Ukraine .

Is the neutrality opportunistic? Surely. India adopts the position that the US had adopted during the first two world wars or that the English adopted during the European wars. That is to say, an economic opportunism on oil and weapons that allowed the US to become the first world power.
Now is it the war itself that created this opportunity or the sanctions? I talk about all this in the thread "France in a world of blocks" in air-defense.net everything is sewn with white thread since the beginning. The US and Chinese will to position bad guys and good guys each by attracting as many allies as possible, the Russians trying to play the tough guys but playing second fiddle unable to invade Ukraine quickly because they misunderstood the will of the Europeans to get involved. And India having decided in advance not to choose, I am not sure that China opens two fronts at the same time, India is a very big piece quite capable of bending a Chinese attack even massive (ratio 1 for the defense to three for the attacker).
Is this moral? I am not sure that when we talk about nations, the notion of morality is a relevant tool of analysis.
You will notice that India is not alone and that most of the OPEC oil and gas nations (e.g. Algeria) also adopt this behavior.

Brazil condemned the Russian invasion.
The US wasn't buying or supplying Germany oil in WWII.
An episode of the work of the Ukrainian drone Bayraktar Mini made in Turkey. The drone is carrying out reconnaissance and is trying to aim Ukrainian artillery at one of the Russian armored vehicles, the quality of the video does not allow us to discern its type. The armored vehicle was not hit by Ukrainian artillery strikes
Published footage of the strike of the Russian self-propelled guns 2S9 "Nona-S" on the Ukrainian gun. The target coordinates were obtained from the Orlan-10 UAV, the type of the destroyed weapon is difficult to discern due to the low quality of the video.

Yes they choosed to help the goods camp by "generously" selling weapons and petrol.
Why India or other countries won't do the same ? Why do you want them to choose if they can find interesset in helping both camp ?
As most as possible India will try to avoid choosing. China can't fight both US and India. And China has lost its face against US with Pelosi then ...

Why doesn't India help the good camp, instead of pretending that Russia is something that it's not, simply because it invaded 30% of Asia without using a boat and either killed off or drove out most of the population and never gave it back?
And Russia. Nobody wants India to go on top except India & India itself. Rest everybody just wants India for their own benifits, offcourse at some lollypop cost.
Nope. That's where you are wrong.
A lot of country count one India to become a first division player. For Russia I'M not sure but it is in its interessest. But for sure it is in the France interrest and America Latin countries and muslim countries and south asia countries and ... How many of them ? They are so numerous to think that it is better for them to let play China and US together but only both of them.
As I said earlier, nobody wants India on top and everybody is opportunistic. Nothing more nothing less.
India, Pakistan left in a lurch as gas deliveries get redirected to Europe
With gas prices more than 150% higher since the Russian invasion in February, and wealthier nations able to pay more to ensure adequate supplies, emerging nations can't compete
Every body is opportunistic yes and having India on TOP with China and US is an opportunity for many countries so that a balance between each can exist.
Russian intelligence knew that Ukrainians would not welcome Russia, but still told the Kremlin they would, report says
Russia expected a quick victory in Ukraine. But it faced unexpected Ukrainian resistance and has since had to focus on a smaller part of the country.
