Russia proactively cutting off oil and gas versus customers cutting it off concerns me. It concerns me that Russia might have a coherent plan and they convinced the oligarchs to go along with it. Probably convinced on threat of defenestration, but still.

China did nothing wrong?

China has no jurisdiction there at all. Those small islands are super close to the Philippines and far, far away galaxy from China. The Hague ruling doesn't recognize their fake 9-dash line. Older maps predate that sham. Other SEA countries also have claims there. They've been blocking and pushing away their neighbors' local fishermen from their own ancestral waters. They are illegally there in the first place.

A little something for people offended that india buys russian oil

Trade is clearly a focus of the trip, but that there's another layer to this did not escape the German ambassador to India, Philipp Ackermann. He explained at a press briefing ahead of the trip: "India buying oil from Russia is none of our business. Basically, that's something that the Indian government decides ... what we would like to see, of course, is an Indian engagement at some stage."

How is it possible for someone to hold that position if they oppose the rights of certain societal groups? In all honesty, the Tory party just enjoys continuing to display its fascist tendencies!

Genuine question - what would your opinion be if you knew China has been bullying, threatening, harassing, pushing away their neighbors' fishermen from their own ancestral waters, stealing and illegally reclaiming their small islands from them? Depriving them of their food and livelihood since their ancestors, suddenly no more as China vessels and their militia are there?

Didn't you know their fake 9-dash line is already invalidated by the Hague Ruling? Older maps predate that sham.

Didn't you know those small islands are super close to the Philippines and are far, far away galaxy from China?

Didn't you know they also just recently blocked, pushed away, and fired their lasers on unarmed PH Coastguard, again from their own waters? Some friend, huh?

But of course you purposefully ignore those. Genuine questions.

yep the cycle continues....same thing happened with india and pak during cold war 1.

india was a soviet satellite and pak was a us satellite but unlike pak india is a well managed country which is hpe to do well with western investments and not spread radicalism and terrorism and focus on actual growth.

Damn. TIL Rape children, women carrying around a dead baby, women dying due to no abortion and children from incest are better than fining a TV channel.

Let's have babies in families that don't want them or can't afford them. That ought to do the trick. More slaves are needed.

Maybe Western governments see Russia as not being a threat anymore in the future and want to lay the groundwork for good relations with India now for a future Cold War with China.

Russia is just hurting itself with this move but it sounds like Poland had already reduced russias share of its oil consumption to 10% of its total market and already has alternatives in place in case of this happening.

I agree with you 100%. To my knowledge, there hasn't been any comprehensive polling in regard to the German populace's view on the delivery of Leo tanks etc. as of yet.

People are scared of the escalation any major deliveries of arms may cause. They are scared of a full on NATO-Russian war, which is understandable. They criticise NATO's eastward expansion as well as the USA's imperialist/militarist stance now and in the past. They shout "peace" but ignore Russia's utter disregard toward Ukraine's right to even exist. They are apologists and choose to ignore that Russia basically wants to eradicate Ukraine as a culture / sovereign nation.

To many, the situation is a dilemma, which is why they draw historical comparisons to US American illegitimate wars of the past.

Reddit diplomats in shambles yet again

well....having india as an ally is beneficial for both the west and india. and soviet breakoff will take time.

You are very easily fooled by political doubletalk.

The iron done isn't meant for missiles like this, and trying to use the Iron Dome against Paveh will be most probably, if not definitely, useless.

Israel has other systems against this kind of missiles, like Arrow 2 and 3. But I'm pretty sure there's no official known number of this missiles, especially since Israel hasn't used them (thankfully) in real combat, yet. So technically, it is a possibility that Iran will have more missiles here than Israel.

The best defence is offence - so I'm pretty sure Israel would prefer just bombing the shit out of all their known bases, as simultaneously as possible, to prevent any missile from launching into Israel.

Edit: I do think that the EU really has a reason to support Israel in neutralizing Iran.

Iran and Syria, can easily shoot this missile into eastern Europe. Just looking on Google earth shows it can reach most of Ukraine, and all of Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania and all the countries that reside in their area.

In a few short years, they can get it even further, and deeper into Europe...and guess who lately basically began a war on Iran, adding it into their terrorists list?

> NEW DELHI - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sought assurances Saturday from India that it would support, or at least not block, Western efforts to isolate Russia for waging a devastating war against Ukraine.

> Asked whether such a deal with India, which has been a major buyer of arms from Russia, could be struck, Scholz said he had "The impression that the quality of German technology enjoys great recognition and appreciate here."

do you honestly think he will? after watching the BBC documentary it seems like he's an evil little fuck.

Ultimately, it will happen because the more war there is, the more crime will be revealed.

as an Indian, whose father saw the pain of communism in the times when india was a soviet satellite and later became capitalist in the 1990s i hope the prime minister makes a good decision.
