It's very possible that the Indian guy isn't gay though. It's very common for heterosexual males to become sexually attracted to other males when heterosexual sex isn't available. If it's somewhere else I probably won't bother saying this but this is a military forum, and this fact is very relevant to military and therefore I believe is interesting info for people here. In many cases, military service is a circumstance where there are a lot of males who don't have access to heterosexual sex. Indecent homosexual activities as a result of this is a recurring problem that all militaries around the world need to deal with. A sidenote: male prostitutes in underdeveloped economies like India are also very often not gay.

Putin just wants to make sure that Trump can serve his agenda for another 75 years.
Thats why western oligarchs are so transhumanist focused because thats their only way to stay an aristocratic class by having so called "holy/blue blood" or in the 21st century equivalent enhanced DNA/bodies...
Or vampires:
India and China have a significant deficit of political mutual trust. In fact, from Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India to Prime Minister Modi's participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, it is evident that not many substantive agreements were reached between the two countries. Although some Indian media outlets, such as ANI, claimed that China would lift restrictions on exports of rare earths, fertilizers, and shield tunneling machines to India, this was almost immediately denied by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you observe Modi's behavior at the SCO summit closely, you will notice his strong awareness of the camera and his focus on political performance. In one particular shot, he practically pulled Russian President Putin by the hand to meet with Xi Jinping, and then grasped Xi's hand, creating a photo opportunity that suggested trilateral cooperation between China, Russia, and India. This was almost entirely a political performance for the United States. Some Indian media also collaborated in publicizing this. Indian diplomacy has a tradition of seeking to be on good terms with all sides, somewhat akin to Vietnam's "bamboo diplomacy." However, India has not executed this well. Despite being viewed by the West as an alternative to China, India's performance has been poor. The India-Pakistan air combat on May 7th further demonstrated that India lacks true hegemonic power in South Asia. Because of this conflict, it is impossible for India to align with China's narrative in its public messaging, as this would easily be interpreted as India kneeling or surrendering to China (especially after the air conflict), particularly when it has not gained any real economic or political benefits from Beijing. Furthermore, India is counting on investment and aid from the West to counterbalance China. It is therefore inconceivable that India would attend a military parade where the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea are all present—and you can now see how the United States and the European Union view that parade. Additionally, Japan has a genuine and strong interest in investing in India, a sentiment reflected in public opinion, media reports, and high-level political commitments. Japan is arguably the economy with the most capability and willingness to invest in India at present. Modi certainly has no reason to offend Japan.
I wonder how many people actually forsaw this.
We know Trump is eventually going to be antagonistic against anyone who gets in his way of doing things. But it feels like right now he's taking the gloves off to give a real hard beating for the world to see. Even I didn't see him being that aggressive this early.
And since not many except Indians themselves are gonna step in for India, there's not much to stop him from continuing. It almost gets him free support in a way.
Absolutely well said! One of the good comments here that say things as it is and not trying to making everything sound nice for no good reason.
I seriously do not see this india-china thing gonna last at all. It's clearly very pretentious and india are still very egoistic, delusional and stubborn in many areas, "bu zhi tian gao di hou" if I may say so. It is seriously so frustrating to watch us needing to drag these burdens along when it is a good time to actually isoate india especially when US kicks them to a corner, which we could use it to our advantage. They still hold our south tibet based on nothing but the reprehensible legacy that comes from the british colonial invasions.
Also if anything, russia dragging india into SCO should make us more wary of Russia too as they showed that they are willing to put their short term self interest at the intersection of our relations, there is so much more I have to say about them but I will hold for now. Not that I want Modi to attend our parade, but explaining his deliberate attention seeking move as "not wanting to piss off japan" is a load of shit. Remember that even Japan's ex-PM attended the parade as well. They simply just think they are very special breed and vastly overestimated their worth which is quite laughable, and ironically, they are too dumb to actually realise that such move only shows to the world time and time again that they are very sly people that never holds their end of the bargain, and they will flip flop their stance regardless of joining an organisation or claims to want to improve relations. This is why no one is actually surprised, but they will still shamelessly ask with a thick skin "why no one are allied with us or support us?"
And what serious relations do they have with japan? They are just a purchaser of japan's high speed rail at high prices like they buy rafale, and one of the minions of quad that we know will not go anywhere.
Besides being the only 2 countries in the world that needs to have a "women's only" train carriages for their society to function, I cannot find anything similar about them that can forge any close relationship or cooperation. The reality is Japan will just treat them as a money making market and nothing more serious beyond that.
