Not only that, they are choosing to buy russian quality weapons over the latest western tech. Which is just.... stupid.

Shameful and stupid and... arrogant

They are also acting as if Russia would come to their aid next time they are attacked by China. Right now Russia is begging China for help and would gladly feed India to the Chinese in return for support.

They are playing dangerous games and bad politics.

Some countries aren’t able to just make a switch like that. For example, India’s military is made up mostly of Russian equipment and technology. The US (and India itself) is trying pretty hard to change that, and quickly, but it takes time. You can’t expect a country with two large, hostile, nuclear neighbours to give up its source of defence equipment.

you know i do think that the reason why we have 24/7 news is because only a small % of the "news" is actual news. the rest is just repeated stuff and bullshit like this.

​

if they just stuck to reporting real news only, there would be not much news.

​

same goes for reddit news subs, it's mostly reposts, repeated article posts.

To raise the birthrate you need a social care system, not banning abortion. Introducing tax benefits for parents giving birth, subsidized child care etc. For those who don't want to be parents, but would be willing to give their child for adoption, a working adoption system and foster care system.

Banning abortion just means that people get illegal abortions or get sterilized if they don't want children.
