THIS is the bizarre moment Vladimir Putin is seen holding hands with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an "anti-Nato" summit.
The inseparable pair were seen giggling and smiling at one another as they met up with Chinese despot Xi Jinping for crunch talks in Tianjin.

I posted a link at #83 to a BBC story about Trump and Modi at a Texas Rally in 2019. They hugged and walked hand in hand. Just the same as Modi and Putin. mucousmaximus never does research prior to posting something like this. He enjoys making a complete fool of himself.
Those carriers weren't sent to invade Venezuela. They were sent to patrol international waters and prevent the invasion of dangerous drugs into this country.
"Trump has only continued Biden Ukraine policies. He is continuing the preparation for war with China."
Trump has not continued Biden's policies. Nor is he planning on starting a war with China. Instead of sending billions of dollars to Ukraine that's unaccounted-for on the other end, or depleting our weapons inventory, he's selling weapons manufactured here to Ukraine, and the EU to defend Ukraine if they choose. That's a big different from the freebies Biden sent there the past 3+ years.
China and Russia have at one time or another had a relationship that benefited both of them. It's a relationship of convenience. Who do you think we were fighting proxy wars against in Korea and Vietnam?
You sound like a 12 year old. Do you realize how pathetic you come across to people?
And you know that from personal experience?
And so are proxy wars.
“Funny how you never see Putin holding hands with a woman. Only men.”
You sound jealous Maxipad.
These are punitive sanctions under the guise of tariffs. Trump won’t stop trying to defeat Russia by all means, and it is not going to work.
The US Indian relationship was predicated upon countering China. Trump not only destroyed that relationship, but he is femanding the EU stop buying Oil from India... eventually he will have to sanctions Turkey, Qatar, Brazil, etc.
Trump miscalculated abd now he is throwing an international temper tantrum.
My how American world leadership was destroyed by forcing all the world to choose. Those who see the at fault for the coup in Ukraine recognize the threat the US imposed towards Russia. Trump is also part of the Ukrainian build-up and he is watching his US GAMBIT fall on his watch. He is like a bull in a China shop. Brics is ascendant in large part due to a stupid series of American mistakes.
Modi refused 5 calls from Trump. Modi explained the position India is in and the been for oil, but Trump refused to listen.
Arrogance can lead to war after self isolation by Trump. The US will end up using military force to get its way, along with more coups.
The world US no longer patient with Trump.
He should. We shouldn't be buying Russian oil. Our allies shouldn't buy from India either if we are serious about helping Ukraine.
Trump going after VN after Iran, Syria, and still gunning for Russia. The pattern is so clear, Trump is attacking every friend or ally of Russia not named China, because he isn’t capable now taking on China.
Only Americans do not understand the US is still all in on Ukraine.
Trump’s credibility is in the toilet with 2/3s of the world.
No. But I remember in Korea many years ago, there were “straight” Korean men who on some public occasions held hands with some other “straight” Korean man who we. I learned from them it had zero to with being “gay”.
It’s no different from how some Italian and French men still kiss on the cheek other male friends when they are greeting.
In both the Asian men hand holding and the kiss on the cheek of French or Italian men, yes it is a form of “affection” but it is not affection of a sexual kind.
“We” turn it into something “sexual” because it is not a usual custom among us.
Good!! No real American Patriot gives a shit what the rest of the world thinks of us. Most of those countries aren't civilized to begin with, and have leeched off this country for far too long. Farewell to scumbags.
You are just another useful idiot and low information voter. One day Trump’s current actions will lead the US to the nuclear war many in the Pentagon and Administration believe we can win. FAFO, and there won’t be anyone left to use a scumbag to prevent reproduction.
Trump is after the Oil in Venezula. Canada needs it for their globalist investment. He has initiated a Trade War that will may well lead to a hot war.
You're like the typical, arrogant liberal, who labels people, and speaks down to others because they think they are so much smarter than everyone else. Is that you Joe Wilson? Or James Comey? Or John Brennan? because that's exactly who you sound like. Doom and gloom!! Doom and gloom!!
2) It's how you get an iconic picture.
Kohl and Mitterand at Verdun. All is forgiven. WWI is finally over.

I'm not saying this country shouldn't have been concerned with national security, and prepared for war, but we know now, after all these years, and after millions of taxpayer dollars being blown by the CIA to hire Nazi war criminals to spy on our enemies, that in the end, provided no real intelligence, we discovered that the Soviet Union was not interested in war after all. And since its inception, the CIA has done more harm worldwide, conducted more coups, and started more wars than any other foreign nation. While we were fighting the spread of Communism over there, we took our eye off the ball at home, and God Bless him, Senator McCarthy was right, that the commies were here already, and their name today is the Democrat Party.
Excellent post and I heartily agree. We’ve all gotten tired of being called “pro-Russia” and “pro-Putin” when we have never expressed anything of the sort.
When I challenge them to go find any posts of mine where I have ever supported Russia or Putin, I generally get crickets chirping as a response. I have had to tell zeepers that “Being opposed to billions of our tax dollars going unaudited to a known money laundering operation does not make one a supporter of Putin or Russia” so many times that I put that phrase on a note and I just copy+paste it when necessary.
I had one particularly odious person recently tell me that since I criticize that panhandling grifter Zelensky, that make me pro-Russia and pro-Putin. Such flawless logic. 😂
