TBH I don't mind replacing UK's spot with India. India doesn't deserve the spot as UN P5, but the state of UK military these days is downright embarrassing. Modi can negotiate with Sunak, or they can just fight a war to duke it out. I don't see any other practical way otherwise for India to be a permanent member of the UNSC.
Agreed. India today is picking on the wrong Big 5 to unseat. That Big 5 is not going anywhere and is so powerful, that 3 out of 5 of them were needed to gang up on it, and still it kept getting stronger.UNSC isn't a club that you can get in just because you're rich, or else Germany and Japan would be members a long time ago.
In lieu of another world war in which India could prove themselves they could always take the other alternative method and challenge any of the P5 to honourable combat and beat them, door to UNSC will be open then with a seat waiting for them.
Why do Indians call their country as the MOTHER OF DEMOCRACY?
Again asian right wingers can only punch down (although it's laughable to think they could ever punch down on China/Russia in the first place) but say yes master when the westerner comes.Agreed. India today is picking on the wrong Big 5 to unseat. That Big 5 is not going anywhere and is so powerful, that 3 out of 5 of them were needed to gang up on it, and still it kept getting stronger.
India should be smarter and choose the easiest of the Big 5 to unseat: the UK. Not only is the UK having the most pathetic military of the Big 5, it is also a chance for India to avenge itself for the centuries of British colonialism it had endured.
India and the UK should fight in honourable combat for a seat at the UNSC. Should honourable combat involve nukes? The US would say yes, because it had earned its place with nukes.
Influence of Israel over Russia is greatly exaggerated or even directly a fantasy. Nobody in Russia fool themselves with Israel, they know that is a US outlet.Gulf Arabs and Israel are supporting Azerbaijan before this Armenian government. both Gulf Arabs and Israeli have much more influence with Russia.
What in the world are you talking about? I'm not saying India should be let in because they demand it but you sound no different than those western countries who want special privileges because they feel they are better than everybody. The UN as presently constituted is getting past its sell by date anyway and we can't live off WWII accomplishments forever, just because you helped defeat the Nazis doesn't mean you should have permanent privileges over everybody else. That's colonial talk.You don't get into the UNSC permanent membership just because you have a large population, and a supposedly large economy. You just don't belong in that club. The 5 members have all fought in WWII, loss lives and defeated fascism. Some much more than others. Where was India during those times? It wasn't even a country when the UN was formed.
Indians might argue that it was the ROC, who originally sat on the China seat in the UNSC. But the ROC and PRC are two parts of the same China, and the vast majority of China is the PRC. Most of China chose the CPC over the KMT to rule the nation after WWII. China had lost around 20mil people in WWII, fighting Japanese fascism. India OTOH were either contributing Sepoy soldiers to the British, or colluding with the Axis powers. The ones fighting for the British did not fight for India, while the ones who fought for "Bharat" where on the same side as the fascists. So technically India (aka Bharat), cannot be allowed into the UNSC permanent members because it was an ally of the Axis powers.
The Big 5 must never let India get into the club. Because if they do, Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, Indonesia, Nigeria, and others would suddenly have a right to demand for their own seats too. India has no place in the Big Boys club, and should be kept out of it.
That is all west of the caspian sea and not connected to central Asia right?Except the pipeline already exists. It goes through Georgia. It's called TANAP.
All this would do is cut Georgia as a middleman.
I agree the UN model is outdated. But a position on the security council needs to be earnt not given.What in the world are you talking about?

What use is “the powerful Armenian lobby“ if it can’t stop its own national annihilation at the hands of Azeris?Armenian has gotta be one of the most depressing nationalities to be right now.
why would India need to be in the P5? Don’t the anglos have enough slaves in there already with the US, UK, and France?You don't get into the UNSC permanent membership just because you have a large population, and a supposedly large economy.
