I speak to Indian expat colleagues here in Germany and they are all against the anti-Russian politics, against the sanctions, pro-Modi in a very differentiated way.

I speak to Chinese and Taiwanese colleagues, also to South Korean colleagues. All are against the Western-led anti-Russia war.

We are in a bubble here. A huge bubble and we believe that we are the only right people with the only right opinion.

Russia invaded neighboring sovereign nation with the goal of annexing the territory. Dichotomy is simple: If you want to live in a world where this is okay, you can support Russia.

It's not necessary to support either side. India's neutral for now...

i think you must be confused. The only real war happening right now is led by russia on the ukrainian territory.

What the west is doing is taking anti-war measures to actually make it stop.

neutrality is judged pretty severely by history, and is often considered as cooperating with the aggressor. I'd be very cautious if i were india..

Now, the hypocrisy is that europe is probably happy India is buying ressources from russia, and then sell them back to them, since they don't really have alternatives.

Clear example of when you will sell your soul and your country for money. This in itself explains why the world is currently in a downward trend with everything going worse and worse.

I just hope that when the shit will hit the fan for India, then US, EU and related countries will remember to let India deal with it alone and not provide them assistance!

Do they support Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

What did Russia think Europe and the US were going to do? Russia seems to have gambled on the idea that Europe and the US would let the invasion happen unimpeded. It turns out Russia was wrong about that.

Russia also seems to have been wrong about the effectiveness of their own forces and the resistance they would face from Ukrainians.

Isn't the simple solution here for Russia withdraw from Ukraine, pay reparations, help with the extradition of those soldiers who have committed war crimes, and work on restoring international relations?
