Reply to comment by somejiggyjiggy in EU slaps sanctions on top Russia officials, banks, trade by BrandYearg525

I did not vote for those who rule now.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but I'm telling you how it looks from my side. You told me that Russia sent most of its troops to Ukraine. You can statistics and exact figures, preferably by citing links, I will be glad to read.

I say that statistically there are simply more people in Russia and among them there will be those who will go to war when they are called, no matter how many people are against it.

Regarding sanctions, I understand that sanctions don't work overnight and that they target certain sectors. And we will see the result much later.

Reply to German chancellor visits India to boost India's relations with the west and possibly move India away from Russia. by CHTanwar

India is taking full advantage of their current position. Keeping up with their oil purchasing and increasing it in fact(Russia), talks about buying submarines (Europe), talks on tech development/production (USA). Let's hope this delicate balancing act comes to a favourable conclusion for them.

it's not like all indians are poor. but yeah what you're saying is right. 75 percent of india's population is made up of poor farmers who couldn't give two shits about global impact on indian economy. as along as they keep growing food on their farms, make their own clothes and some of them also live without electricity so yeah. what mao and deng did in china was get the basterds out of the villages and into the factories but indian government can't do that. the rest 25 percent have a very good quality of life and they hold about 90 percent of the 3.6 trillion dollar wealth in india
