Russia is not Indian ally. Russians are businessmen who cons and milk Indians for cash with their junk.
You are so wrong about the Russians. They have provided world class weapons to Indians at affordable prices. We are the 4th largest and powerful air force thanks to Russian weaponry.
Russian MIC are the biggest threat to Indian MIC and our atmanirbhar scheme.
No it is the western MIC that is the biggest threat to Indian MIC. Indian MIC has been sabotaged by western interests time and time again.
Russians were playing both sides during India vs PRC showdown.
How? The conflict only lasted for a few days and PRC ordered those weapons long before the conflict started. And Russia made sure that India got the latest version of the weapons something that they did not provide to China. If you want to talk about double dealing, why don't you talk about the US giving F-16s, a nuclear delivery capable platform.
If Paksiatn provides money Russia will even sell to Paksiatn.
Only stuff that will not hurt India.
Russia doesn't respects or cares about India.
Bullshit. They respect us very much.
They treat us like their cash cow, milking for cash us on every occasion they have.
Russians are businessmen, who want to make money on Indian expense.
So do the French and even the English. But you don't see us spitting in their faces do you like you want us to spit in the face of Russians at the behest of US?
Being South Korean or Japanese or British or German or Canadian or Australian is also different from being Pakistani.
All alliances are based on mutual interest.
Yeah as long as you toe the US line or become a US whore.
Indian and US interest coincide for the first time.
Good but that doesn't mean sacrificing long standing relationships.
Similarly Russian interest coincide with PRC.
Good for the Russians. They have a very long border with China and it is in their interests to remain on good footing with China. That's what I would do if I was Russia and we Indians cannot begrudge them for wanting to secure their borders and national interests first. But at no time during their dealings with China, did they contemplate on backstabbing us or betraying us.
No one is talking of India being US lackey but partner on equal footing.
I got a bridge in New York to sell to you.
World is is not black and white where you are either a lackey or independent.
No it is not but the US does not want us to have any independent thoughts. They just want us to blindly follow them and do what they say not do what they do. You are so blind to the US's intentions & character because all you see is US dollar signs being waved in your face like a cheap prostitute.
To be a man you need to stand on your own legs first. We have started this but it will take time. Till then its better to be in mutually beneficial alliance.
IT IS NOT A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL ALLIANCE!!! The only alliance that US will allow is that you give up your national security interests and cater to US interests firstmost. That is not mutually beneficial.
Look at PRC. They did their work head down and only when they were independent enough they started challenging western hegemony.
Its very easy to judge India while sitting in comforts of your house,
Now you are resorting ad hominem attacks. I will not apologize for being in the US. You have no right to silence me on that.
but in India we are facing serious problems unemployment, economy, technology, etc.
Yes we have those but that doesn't mean we have to give up our autonomy and our long standing relationships for the promise of few cheap dollars and freebies. Those problems will not be solved that way. Those problems will be solved when we stand up and take charge for ourselves and do what's in the best interests of our nation and take collective responsibility and rely on ourselves. That includes honoring long lasting relationships with countries that have come through for us before.
Their is no gain in having false pride and ego, first India needs to uplift Indian population and work towards betterment of its people. Everything else comes next.
There is no false pride or false ego here. It is called having moral conviction and belief in oneself and his strengths. You have the habit of thinking that India is weak and therefore needs to align with US out of weakness.
I contest that and say you are wrong.
