Expansion of enemy influence. That’s a new excuse to invade a country that I hadn’t heard before!! How would you recommend the US lower its “influence” so as to not so offend our Soviet comrades?
That is a fact of life. Expansion of Chinese influence in Djibouti, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Red Army moves in Tibet, worries India. In reply, we are trying to improve the capabilities of our armed forces. India stands fourth in the list of countries with strong armies after US, Russia, China.
Why do you have an army? You should just surrender like you are saying Ukraine should do. That's the path to peace. Your army will just make China uneasy and they will have to respond. See how easy it is to have peace and save lots of money too?
India has thousands and thousands of years of history.
Ukraine had had 25 years of history when they decided it would be a good idea to terrorize their own russian population.
And during all these 25 years they were receiving $10bil/year from ..... Russia. How dumb these people are?
Do they deserve to rule themselves?
I repeat:
1. 25% of the population are flat out russians and don't want anything ukrainian.
2. Another 25% don't speak ukrainian and frankly don't give a slightest fuck about Ukraine.
3. $10bil/year from Russia.
