Reply to comment by Logical-Dog-7387 in US to renew efforts to reduce India's oil, military 'dependency' on Russia by Falls_stuff

Lol.

Yeah, it's hard to put our faith in our governments...

Btw, it's always really bothered me when I learn about the U.S. trying to topple democratically elected governments, or becoming allies with military or religious dictatorships, simply because of cold water politics, or regional interests, or whatever. It's extremely hypocritical and makes us look really bad.

I think our main objective ought to be fostering democracies around the world, if we are going to be the 'world leaders' with all the weapons. Otherwise, what's the point of leading the world if you're not making it a better place with more freedoms for everybody.

That's the main reason I support giving weapons to Ukraine. They are making a really good effort to become a democracy, just like India, and the United States.

Cheers mate!

Reply to comment by tjx9 in Pakistan mosque blast: At least 28 killed after explosion in Peshawar by pstbo

Thing is, Pakistan doesn't really support terrorism. The military however keeps close ties with militant groups largely to keep them in check and to leverage them in case of an all out war. In fact Pakistan had a massive campaign to rid itself of terrorism after a terrorist attack on a school. So no, Pakistan doesn't support terrorism, that's just propaganda spread by one of our neighbors unfortunately.

For cross border issues, Afghanistan and India have internal issues (as does Pakistan) but they both look to blame Pakistan for their own short comings.

Reply to comment by Sad-Internet-9363 in Erdogan says Turkey may block Sweden's Nato membership bid by nosotros_road_sodium

That is true, the migrant numbers are still high, but I suspect that if Turkey's actions end up costing Europe more money than they're willing to spend on the migration problem, they won't hesitate to stop the payments. A lot of negative sentiment has already formed since the start of the migration crisis towards the migrants, people will be looking for excuses to close their borders absolutely.

Reply to Croatian president slams Western arms to Ukraine by BurstYourBubbles

The goal has absolutely nothing to do with tearing Russia apart. It's what we learned now

  1. Ukraine will owe us BIG TIME for all of our weapons
  2. They still need Russia for fuel. So does the surrounding nations so no Russia will absolutely win and subsequently fall on its own considering Europeans don't like having children. ( old people don't buy stuff and can't work)
  3. We are able to see how fast we can ship equipment across the world and watch it fight a conventional military which protects our national security.
  4. America doesn't need Europe, Europe needs America. Nato is basically a way to save money on not having an army. America is slowly starting to see how useless it is to keep up a pace to stop nazis and communists. Both regimes are almost certain to never happen again. You know with the whole average European age being like 40 something.
