The central concept of this thread, that some kind of moral equivalency exists between the families of the victims of the MH17 shootdown and Russian separatists in Ukraine is no more than a product of a desperate mind.
What happened? The day Flight 17 was downed
[OT alert!] If Russians are unimpeachable on DFI, can somebody explain why
A.V., eminent Russian DFI member, was purged?
To engage in some amateur psychiatry, I'd diagnose some posters here as sociopaths.
A.V. was a Trotskyite in the pay of Jewish fascist imperialist lapdogs.
Poroshenko has sent to the Parliament a request for admission on territory of Ukraine 260 Australian military, who will guard the crash site. Also, Ukraine is coming 50 Dutch police (without weapon).
It's mainly going to be police. But yes, Australia's planning on deploying a contingent, including soldiers, to the crash site.
What I observe is a yearning on DFI for the personality of Putin. I attribute that to an absence of such a leader within India. I imagine if the need arises, there may be such a leader for India. The worship of Putin on DFI now just seems something very bizarre to me, a loss of identity in his admirers which approaches the pathological. In my view, that worship is actually corrupting the forum. It is as unrealistic as attempting the resurrection of your namesake.
Not sure if someone like Putin would be elected in a functional democracy like India. But totally with you in regards to some of this forum's posters.
But Indian do like rebels... likes of Che Guevera, Castro... Indians do see a rebel in Putin... the same reason my namesake is as admired as Gandhi in India...
Putin isn't, or shouldn't be, a rebel. He's the leader, or more accurately powerless figurehead, of a country. His "rebeliousness" consists entirely of: insulting every county in the world he can think of. He's not good for Russia.
Westerners trying to figure out Indian psyche is hilarious and that too on DFI of all places. Must be hard for them to understand why US still is not the "bro" for India while Russia for all it's defects and shortcomings still is.
Good time wasting exercise to watch and observe and more importantly be amused.
You know what this thread's about, right? Amused???
Your government's not Russia's bro and being the Soviet Union's bro stymied your economic growth.
It must be lonely championing Putin's lies with only few support around the World.... Maybe I can understand your frustration. But you must start thinking why is that the rest of the World does not seem to buy Putin's version of events. Have the Ukrainians, Europeans and Americans paid them all to turn deaf to Putin's version? Or is not that Putin's version of events is simply ridiculous? Frankly, I find Putin's version demeaning to intelligence...
To be one of the thethinker's "Westerner trying to figure out Indian psyche" I could offer the suggestion that Indians are very stubborn. While stubborn can be good i.e. an opening batsman in cricket, in international relations it's less useful.
Would suggest there are some Indians, none of whom seem to be in government, who still champion Russia as it was part of the Soviet Union i.e. India's old ally.
No one in this forum is championing Putin...
India, China Brazil, and many Asian and African countries have not abandoned Russia and they account for 2/3 of the humanity.. Western Europe and USA are the only exceptions...
No one is championing Putin
Russia could use some friends right now, and India's maintaining it's neutrality. China doesn't "abandon" anyone, but it also doesn't have friends. Brazil, I don't know. Although I presume you are referring to BRICS, which as relevant to the world as Putin and this site's fan-boyz of Russia. Apart from Vietnam, name one Asian country who is Russia's friend. Well, I suppose Syria and some Central Asian states would count... Likewise, Putin's friends in Africa are???
