      There’s always a choice, but while Modi’s India is a fairly bad ally, it’s still better than others, like Saudi Arabia. Gotta pick your battles.

      Maybe some day when the important conflicts are in a different region we can take India to task over things like their police-sanctioned cybercriminals that keep robbing the elderly.

        Lmao. The police here are far too busy harassing innocent citizens to do that.

      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.

      Why would India join any sphere? India’s success historically has always been from a policy of neutrality and having the Himalayan mountains block any ideas against that neutrality.
