Because countries(especially ones which struggle with poverty, constant terrorist attacks, constant fighting with multiple hostile nations bordering it, and a billion+ mouths to feed) can't change their entire foreign policy in a single day just to virtue signal to look good to the west. Especially when the west has historically always turned a blind eye to India's troubles in the past, or worse, actively supported India's enemies. Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh also abstained btw, and tbh it's kind of understandable given that they also have their own issues to deal with.

Also, it is untrue that India don't give a shit about Ukraine. They've been sending aid.

Which is funny to think because they refused to pay the damages the ICJ ruled they owe the UK for blowing up two of the Royal Navy's destroyers after WW2.

As the original comment mentions “again” 3x, it’s a lot longer than just WW2. Poles have been harassed from the East for a very long time, many times.

Yeah. This is like a huge earthquake for them.

I've always imagined him in the trunk of one of his cronies cars with a black bag over his head.

Please elaborate on how being invaded by both Germany and Russia counts as "fucking themself"

>Swing and a miss. I have a deep understanding of Asian and Indian history.

I mean, both of your claims which I highlighted in my previous comment are completely untrue and can be disproven with a couple of google searches.

M.E.K. isn't the aggressor, the Iranian government is. Despite their name the M.E.K. isn't jihadist and leans more left-wing although their ideology is vague to say the least.

They are in Albania at the invitation of their government IIRC.

It's easy to pull demographic polling data for demographic groups, and I see that the majority of Indians in American don't even identify with caste.

Unfortunately, most white people voted for Trump, a man who is explicitly racist and misogynist, among other things. It almost seems like those third world immigrants people might be better integrated into our society that doesn't like discrimination/classism than people who have roots here going back multiple generations.

I haven't been either and its high on my list.

If you go to Warsaw you should aim to be there August 1st. At 5pm the city goes still to honor all the Poles that took part in theWarsaw Uprising in 1944. There are videos of it and it's surreal.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)

> Brazilian Amazon deforestation reached its worst-ever February level in the second month of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's presidential term, provisional data showed Friday.

> The INPE report included data only up to February 17, but was already an increase from the previous worst February, in 2022, when far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro was still in office.

Imagine how much of a giant idiot you have to be to vote in the son of this guy. Can't make that shit up.

"Today them, tomorrow us."

Putin's made it very clear that he considers not just Ukraine, but the entirety of the Soviet Union to be in the Russian "sphere of influence."

Sorry for the stupid question, but earthquakes are pretty rare in Wales?

“There’s your problem, this doll was set to ‘Evil’”

TIL Albania is in NATO

AKA black-market bizarres

> if anyone knows what it's like to get fucked over, again and again and again it's Poland

If you're referring to WW2, the Poles, along with their Western allies, fucked themselves more than anything.

They make the best dope, too.

> The reason for the attacks, which began with a stealthy penetration of government servers in 2021, but started causing visible disruption only last year, appears to be Albania’s sheltering of Mujahedeen Khalq, known as M.E.K., a secretive Iranian dissident group, on its soil. > > Also playing a role are the polarized politics of Washington, where prominent Republican hawks on Iran have been strong backers of M.E.K.

But, of course. Republicans on the aggressor's side when a NATO ally is under attack. It's like a child's paint by numbers kit but dipshit behavior.

Swing and a miss. I have a deep understanding of Asian and Indian history.

Resorting to ad hominem attacks reveals much.

You are probably embarrassed by Modi’s actions and can’t admit it.

The point is, for whatever rationale Modi thinks it’s a good idea to side with Russia, it’s a morally bankrupt position.

Democracies must aid democracies. It’s not complicated.

>When push comes to shove, which countries might actually come to India’s defense. It’s the west.

Not trying to sound like an asshole here, but this line tells me you have absolutely no idea about the geopolitics in the South Asia region and the history of relations between the West and India. It's almost a laughably bad take.

You also seem to think that a non Modi govt would not maintain a relationship with Russia, which is also wildly incorrect.

Why? Either it's unnecessary because they know, and do not want their findings public. Or it's necessary but they do not want to know. Or there is nothing to investigate but then why not say that.
