Russians are respected and loved in the global south countries, which represent over 85 % of humanity, for Russian support in their independence movements against exploitative colonialism during the communist era. Hence Russians are always welcome in our countries. Russia has a rich history of great rulers like Peter the Great, a great general like Suvorov who was undefeated in all his campaigns (whom the Duke of Wellington deeply admired and corresponded with), the world's best novelists in Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky and a good literary and artistic culture, aside from strong foundation in science and technology. So there are a lot of positives in Russia as a foundation to build upon , and hopefuly a Russia with robust democratic institutions will come up in the future.

"To differentiate the thinking mind and awareness, one must arrive solely in awareness. The thinking mind as the expression of awareness should be abandoned. When awareness is recognized, then the thinking mind is self-abandoned. Mind is changing, and awareness is unchanging. In this way, the two are differentiated. Look at the sky, which is unchanging, and the clouds, which are changeable; clouds are like the thinking mind and the space is like rigpa, awareness. The clouds change again and again, but space never changes. Awareness is both unceasing and unchanging." ~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche 'The mind must learn that beyond the moving mind there is the background of awareness which does not change.' ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj 'Don't mistake the weather of your mind for the sky of your being.' ~ Jeff Foster

The Indian military is the fourth strongest in world rankings, and we are interested in boosting our military, agricultural and industrial technologies and consequently, have developed a good relationship with Israel in the process which have proven expertise in the same. India is the only country on earth which has never persecuted its jewish population. Friendly ties have existed also between the indian muslim population and the Indian Jewish population even now due to religious and cultural similarities. So consequently, we are interested in developing relations between Israel and India, and create a best case scenario of friendship between Israel and Arab countries instead of incessant warfare, bloodshed and conflict between them. With the ongoing transition from oil to lithium and sodium based batteries, oil as a resource will become obsolete within a decade or two from now, which can result in the oil rich arab nations transitioning from prosperity to poverty. Israeli technology can help the Arabs build agriculture and industrialize the middle east. India has good updated legal constitution which has decriminalised homosexuality, and provide privileges for transgenders . Issue in India is lack of the necessary policing forces to implement the law with exactitude as well as the necessary number of courts to bring swift justice. A shortage of judges, courtrooms, and administrative staff, along with outdated technology, hinders the efficient functioning of the courts leading to large number of pending cases. We have over 2200000 policemen which is larger than the population of some countries, but this is still a million short with respect to ideal force levels. India is still a developing nation and we are trying to overcome these deficiencies at present. The fast improving economy however has brought incremental improvements in capabilities in the same and hopefully the deficiencies will be covered in a few years time . The arab nations have very low populations and cannot be compared to India which has the largest population in the world. Also it was not me here who first accused the Islamic nations of such systemic issues. Do keep that in mind. India has recently banned the triple talaq and criminalized by the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, though there were major protests against it by islamic fundamentalists. This however has led to reduction in Muslim men divorcing their wives over verbal speeches, text messages, Skype, emails and phone calls, and leading to better marital stability among Indian muslim couples.

Apologies for the same. India has a long relationship due to traditional ties with arab countries and have supported a two state resolution in the middle east. Well, there is no standardisation for the same, and only in progressive muslim nations are such laws in effect.

Dude, Breakingthewall is not an Indian Hindu, but a westerner. Raze, who supports Palestine, is an Indian , and you have shown poor judgement in unnecessarily criticizing India here. India has around 1.2 billion Hindus and they do not have extermination fantasies with respect to muslims. They have much better things to do with their times like business and trade, science and technology. India is the fastest growing economy and is the fourth largest economy in the world at the moment, and it already ranks third in the world after the China and US in terms of billionaires and centi-millionaires . India is in top fourteen in terms of millionaires ranked below switzerland, has doubled its millionaire population in the last five years and adds a millionaire every 30 minutes. As per experts India is projected to become the world's second largest economy by 2038 with a gdp of 34.2 trillion dollars. India has also donated by charity billions of dollars worth of food and medical supplies as well as expertise to Palestine, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Turkish earthquake and other muslim nations saving milions of muslim lives. India has also criticized the American invasion of Iraq which killed millions of muslims, the muslim Sebrenica genocide in europe, the genocide of muslims in China, Burma, anti-muslim riots in Sri Lanka, deaths of thousands of muslims in Palestine in recent conflict, ill-treatment of muslim migrants in europe and so on. India has also condemned the killing of Afghan muslims and children during the recent border clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hundreds of poor muslims from pakistan and neighboring muslim countries have got free or cheap medical treatment in Indian hospitals not available in their own countries. Sunni-shia-ahmediya-sufi riots which have killed thousands of muslims in western Asia have never happened in India. The Indian army is the second largest in the world and has deployed hundreds of soldiers under UN command in UNIFIL to ensure peace and stability in the middle east for years due to conflict between the Jews/ Christians and Muslims there. Indian peacekeepers are also deployed in muslim nation of sudan to ensure peace and stability over there due to ongoing civil war, saving thousands of muslim lives over there as well. India has also provided humanitarian aid and medical supplies to muslims in sudan. India has the largest population in the world so it is bound to have its own share of seemingly high crime rates when not considering proportion and perspective . As per Islamic Shariat the raped victim must produce four adult males who have witnessed the crime to validate her charges. Failing to produce male witnesses, the rape victim charged with slander or adultery and punishes with 80 lashes with a whip or even stoned to death. Two female witnesses are considered to be equivalent to one male witness. I know of a case study in an islamic nation where a rape victim who was only able to bring three witnesses instead of four, was slandered of adultery and stoned to death. There are no such mandates in Indian legal system and testimony of any witness, male or female, can be used to charge the suspect with a conviction. Female Indian muslim intellectuals and leaders like Shabana Azmi and Shama Mohamed had heavily criticized the Taliban for its dis-empowerment of Afghan women by denial of education and healthcare. In the UK, the grooming gang scandal has shown that muslim men of pakistani heritage were involved in mass rapes of native white women and girls due to racial and religious prejudice. This resulted in the infamous Musk-Starmer feud early this year. This new disturbing trend has been condemned by liberal female muslim intellectuals and activists as well.

Perhaps this is a perception that comes upon enlightenment when all the karmic blinkers or filters of the mind are eliminated. You can check out this thread of mine on Gary Weber , who upon enlightenment, perceived consciousness to be omnipresent.

A nuclear war can wipe out the US, Europe, Ukraine and Russia from existence, and make a radioactive wasteland of these countries . Other countries like India can sent rescue personnel and logistical resources under UN command to evacuate survivors as in the elderly, women and children from the US, Europe and Russia and bring them to safer zones. However such rescue missions will be highly risky and dangerous with many variables involved. The alternative is to engage in diplomacy, negotiatians and bring about a ceasefire and peace. The two world wars which originated in europe killing over a hundred million people, were said to have arose due to failures in diplomacy. The europeans should learn from past lessons in history instead of foolishly repeating them .

Jacobo Árbenz, who was the the second democratically elected President of Guatemala from 1951 to 1954, was overthrown in a military coup with western military assistance and corporate backing. Arbenz had earlier fought in the Guatemalan revolution which ended the western backed dictatorship of Jorge Ubico whose policies favored the elite, western companies and dispossessed the native people of their lands. Arbenz's agrarian policies benefitting the masses however was opposed by the west which led to the overthrow of his democratically elected government, and replacement by the brutal military dictatorship of Carlos Armas. Árbenz's popular policies were largely rolled back, with land confiscated from small farmers and returned to large landowners.

"Consider a glass filled with muddy water. Though the nature of the water is pure and clear, when stirred, it becomes mixed with mud, and all we see is murky water. In the same way, at the most basic level, our lack of mindfulness and awareness stirs up all manner of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, blending and interfering with one another, so that the clear, luminous mind becomes clouded and confused. " ~ Dzongsar Khyentse rinpoche "Who we are varies according to our awareness. When you are more aware, you are someone else than when you are less aware." ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz “With mindfulness we have the choice of responding with compassion to the pain of craving, anger, fear and confusion. Without mindfulness we are stuck in the reactive pattern and identification that will inevitably create more suffering and confusion.” ~ Noah Levine

Hitler sent to extermination camps the nazi defined racially inferior Slavs, gypsies, Jews, homosexuals and dissidents. Black pows ( French and American) were sent for summary execution . Stalin was a Slav himself, and due to paranoia and German intelligence work showcasing competent Soviet generals and leaders as traitors, sent them to concentration camps. Most of his purges were due to paranoia and fear of traitors and spies. Stalin's purges was mainly due to his lack of education ,which Trotsky had pointed out, and poor judgement on his part with respect to character. Stalin was sympathetic to the anti-colonial movements in Asia, Africa and South America due to his communist conditioning. His approach to race was dictated by Marxist ideology, which framed racial issues through the lens of class conflict, identifying capitalism and Western imperialism as the source of racial exploitation. The Soviet Union under his rule officially promoted anti-racist rhetoric and provided support to international anti-colonial movements. Obviously since Asia, Africa and latin america constitute over 80% of humanity and benefitted from communist support with respect to their independence and development, Stalin cannot be put in the same league as Hitler as a tyrant.

Geopolitical writer and commentator Arnaud Bertrand has praised India for its political courage which EU lacks, as per his perception. He also praised India for upgrading its diplomatic ties with China. https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/india/story/modi-has-the-political-courage-europe-lacks-entrepreneur-says-eu-lacks-will-courage-shame-for-giving-in-to-trumps-demands-490405-2025-08-21

The soviets had diplomatic and economic treaties with the germans in the beginning of the war and adhered to them for the sake of appeasement, similar to the other western allies. Soviet invasion of poland was not brutal as that of the german invasion which saw the poles as racially inferior Slavs and hence subject to total extermination. The soviets created a communist system and administration amongst communist poland , abolished private property and was even welcomed by the jews and other non-poles finding them better than the germans. Soviet invasion of parts of finland was due to appropriation of territory which they felt was necessary for their security. I am not justifying them but they were following a pattern of aggresson as shown by the european colonial powers themselves, including the americans who had themselves invaded Canada and mexico and other central and south american countries. If Brics coalesces into a military alliance, then nato can forget about russia. Both india and China have the two largest armies on earth with nearly exhaustible manpower and resources at their disposal. This is true. A nuclear war and holocaust can wipe out the US, Russia and Europe from existence and make them a nightmarish radioactive landscape of them forever. The two world wars which similarly originated in europe had similarly come out of military alliances. But the stakes are high this time around, due to the potential use of nuclear weapons which can wipe out millions in the blink of an eye. If you are admitting to corruption in nato based leadership, running parallel to the statistically proven heavy corruption in Ukraine as well ,then obviously it is not correct to state that nato is championing incorruptible democratic standards and values while Russia is not. Former president Jimmy Carter has also lamented about the US becoming an oligarchy as well. The west obviously has to get its own governance standards right before it can throw stones at others.

I think what you mean to say is that the Russians ended the dictatorships of Napoleon and Hitler and freed Europe of Nazi tyranny. As long as they were doing the heroic stuff , Russians were the golden boys with the rest of the europeans being enthusiastic cheer leaders. But after they get the job done, the rest of the europeans descend to complaining and nagging. The whole of EU gdp in 2024 is equivalent to the Chinese GDP alone itself, forget about the rest of the BRICS members. All the brics members are growing economically at a fast pace, especialy India and Brazil. India itself is projected to have a GDP of $34.2 trillion by 2038, which would make it the world's second-largest economy in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This growth is expected to be driven by factors such as a young population, strong domestic demand, and ongoing structural reforms. Europe is ageing with low fertility rates, and its constant warmongering is the reason why european authorities are liberal with immigration from Asia and Africa in order to replace the native manpower lost in ageing and low fertility, war and conflicts. This is also important to ensure the economy is not deralied by manpower shortages. You mean to say that EU and Israel due to money power can pocket America. But wouldn't this be an admission of plutocracy and bribery on their part itself which is contradictory to democratic principles ?

The Americans and Europeans happen to be the largest groups of trophy hunters of endangered animals, and it is important to create awareness programmes on the importance of animal welfare and ecological conservation of nature. Interestingly, the FBI considers cruelty to animals as part of the Macdonald criteria, which determines the propensity amongst children for violent tendencies and future serial offenses. https://www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/europes-largest-hunting-fair-opens-despite-dangers-faced-wildlife-worldwide
