That’s a two way street. But as the underdog *and* the victim of an invasion, Ukraine will tend to draw more sympathy. India is backing Russia to the hilt - yet another reason to be wary of New Delhi.

Haven’t been following India’s position but India’s part of the Economic cabal over there with Russia China and Asian groups....so I’m not surprised really. Putin must have given them some sort of assurances prior.

I didn’t know that. But it doesn’t surprise me. India is very wary of China, and Russia makes a good ally in that regard. On the other hand, Ukraine can do nothing for India one way or the other.

So I suppose India is just putting India first. Can’t really fault them too much for that.

If China is the No.1 geo political risk to the U.S, than India has to be courted more by the U.S, not sent packing diplomatically in some tantrum over Ukraine. India is far more important to America’s future than Ukraine.

Not if you look at a map. Makes perfect sense for India to stay on the sidelines.
