Despite his lip-service to democracy and human rights, Biden keeps embracing autocrats and would-be autocrats

    Yes, they have a choice. Ignoring India’s issues including that they in fact increase trade with Russia massively is not what stops them from going on like this.

      Making an enemy of a country with 1 billion people is absurd reddit-tier kind of logic. It’s far better to have a country like India as a close ally

        Yes, but ignoring their issues doesn’t make them a close ally. Just another one roughy affiliated, that knows it can do whatever without consequence other than strongly worded letters.

          They are a close ally and always have been unless you’ve been living under a rock for 50 years

            Yes, I have lived under a rock where India bought Russian military for years and is now working hard to become their new biggest trading partner… such close allies.

            What you are talking about is: it could be worse and they could be openly hostile.

              I guess you have been living under a rock because I’m still old enough to remember George Bush inviting Putin to Texas where they played golf together, and every President before him going to Moscow for diplomatic missions.

              Hey, here’s a video of Obama and Medvedev having a Burger together

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIEByvOXwdw

              I’m also old enough to remember Germany helping to build the Nord Stream pipeline:

              “Nord Stream (German-English mixed expression for “North Stream”; Russian: Северный поток, Severny potok) is a network of offshore natural gas pipelines which run under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany to provide Western Europe with natural gas”

              What you’re talking about is China, not India. Get your countries right. China literally has the same Hammer and Sickle Emblem on their stupid State Insignia ffs. They held a massive communist rally 2 years ago and mimic the Soviet Union in every way.
