People in the US, Canada and Australia get a vote and a damn decent standard of life, as can be seen in the net flow of migration towards those places and away from places like Russia, where they have no vote or rights, and the standard of living is terrible. And from places India claims to have helped free from oppression.
Were we discussing the settler colonialism Russia & the West indulged in or were we discussing what's the status of those places today?
India certainly extended moral & diplomatic support to these Nations viz : At a time when RSA was under an apartheid regime which the West propped up, when it's moral compass like yours was in the same position as your manhood has been throughout your life,pointing southwards, we can take pride in the fact that we never relented in our criticism of that abhorrent policy ever , highlighting it at international fora.
In other words, our moral compass always pointed North. We warned the US not to conflate an independence movement with communism in Vietnam since the beginning, right since Eisenhower's administration, thru the Kennedy / Johnson administration by the end of which it was too late.
As for Israel, I believe the Jews are the original people of that region historically.
Most of the Jews were scattered into the diaspora across Europe by the Romans. If on the basis of a miniscule minority of Jews in what's now Israel, the rest of the Jews claiming kinship & right to return works, then we're truly lucky, Britain didn't invade India claiming communion & a common religion with the Syro Malabar Church there, for the earliest presence of Christians in India can be traced back to 3rd century CE in the Southern state of Kerala.
Meanwhile, on the basis of your brilliant Paddy logic, the Muslims have a right on Iberia too which is why the Al Qaeda was targeting Spain initially. It still remains their goal to establish the Caliphate from Andalusia to India & everything in between.
Well, your folks were talking about being part of a balance.
That balance was for the Indo Pacific. Is Ukraine in the Indo Pacific?
When that's your position on a democracy being invaded, exactly what balance do you offer?
Part of inter tribal European dynamics & power politics, precisely like what Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, etc was where we don't see any role for ourselves . All these were a tragedy, no doubt. We wish this one ends soon .
The truth is that India offers no multi-polar balance because it is not independent enough of Russian energy and arms to offer a position different to Russia's, and so it lies and contorts the truth to try and moralise the only stance its dependency allows it.
We don't need anybody's certificate on how we conduct ourselves least of all from Perfidious Albions. We do what we do in our supreme national interest . We didn't start the fire nor are we stoking it.
In fact we're grateful this European tribal war didn't break out last century for then Europe would see Asian & African blood spilt for an inter tribal European war.
We see the impotence of the UK & understand how much the former imperial powers feel the loss of power with the loss of their empires but it is what it is.
6 months on except for Europe & the US, nobody's interested in the war. We've our own problems & come winter you'd have plenty of your own problems as well.
Both the Russians & Chinese are waiting for it with us & the rest of the world observing as curious by standers .
This part is complete nonsense, as one can expect from you. Back on ignore you go.
While I quite understand that a fool never sees himself as a fool but as the wisest person around which is why there are no fool proof systems , are you actually denying you're single, share your home with your ma, who dominates & bullies you?
