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

    Yeah, no. I am all against Modi and the BJP and most of their policies (except for the Foreign policy which has been a win acc to me)

    But, no. You will not punish Indians because Modi is the leader of the country. And it’s not in US interest to do this either. Some idiot at the Guardian might think this, but yeah, thankfully US foreign policy heads are not this dumb.

      What punishment are you talking about? Did we read the same article?

          Why are you lying? You are lying and you know you are lying. You read me clearly say multiple times not only in this article that I wasn’t a modi supporter. Heck, I didn’t vote for the guy even though I could have thrice! So, why are you lying?

            I notice you responded to this but didn’t answer the question. There’s no “punishment” referenced in the article but here you are throwing a temper tantrum. What exactly are you talking about?

              I was wrong. The article goes on to say what’s wrong and most of it is accurate (i.e., there are more truths than outright lies in there) but yeah, it doesn’t talk about a punishment.

              But I am afraid that this could be a pretext for “punishment” and the condition in India, though bad is not as bad as they describe it in here. Anyways, yeah I kinda was wrong there in talking about punishment and shit.

      US foreign policy is happy to punish Chinese people for Xi Jinping and Iranian people for Khamenei. Iranian women who want to study in the US and leave the regime get their visas denied and their study rights revoked for the audacity of having an Iranian passport.
