You open yourself to US media and investment and you are also more susceptible to US influence. It’s doubled edged, imo I was a blessing that attempted color revolution on June 4th happened when it did because China learned early not to trust the US.

For India, they never had that wake up call and because they alienated China, where else could India realistically go? Being a “democracy” with foreign press coverage and having lots of Indian expats and CEO further strengthens Washington DC strings.

So while I don’t think the US single handedly engineered all of India’s troubles. I do think the US knew about the corruption for sometime (even if it was not involved) and sat on it, only to green light the publication when it was convenient like Modi’s involvement in the Guajarat riots.

Lol, they simply cannot resist the urge to make yet another enemy. I seriously wonder if their intention is to paint a Red Bulls eye of their collective heads because when the nukes start flying, their will be about at least more then 2 billion people that will not give a crap when the EU and the USA gets the hit. Serious these events really does paint the EU and the USA as a group of heartless backstabbers

China should prop up India as a hedge against the western imperialists. The Indians want money and technology. China can help them in both aspects.

The counterexample to this is Saudi Arabia. It's recently moved far closer to China than anything India's done and it's far more consequential than India is. It's also not toeing the party line on Russia, so why hasn't it suffered financial attacks?

Sweden has been cold for millennia. Russia is colder and you don’t see this same idiocy.

The true cause is drinking too much of the toxic American brand of ‘freedom’ and ‘liberalism’ Kool Aid where people who go to almost any lengths to deliberately provoke others are granted near absolute protection for their provocations while their targets will get curbstomped by the police (not necessarily just metaphorically) for making any reaction to said provocation.

It would be just supreme idealogical idiocy if not for one fundamentally important distinction. This freedom to provoke is not universal. Because the full force of the law will be brought to bear on you if provoked specially protected groups or crossed the latest arbitrary line of which groups are to be granted special favour.

For instance, say anything critical of the state of Israel or Israeli government policy will almost certainly have you labelled as an anti-Semite, and even using the wrong pronouns to address someone can get you cancelled.

The fact that these special protected categories exists proves the MSM lie about there being principles at play. Principles need to apply equally even when inconvenient or else the stop being principles and are instead just preferences.

If there are truly matters of principles at play, westerners should see zero distinction and apply the same treatment to someone going out of their way to harass and offend a Muslim and someone else doing the same to a Jew. Either both should be prohibited or allowed. To choose to protect one group while effectively engage in state sponsored persecution of another based entirely on their religious and/or ethnic identity is the very core ideology of fascism.

"As a source, it emits both beta rays and gamma rays. So if you have contact or have it close to you, you could either end up with skin damage, including skin burns, over a period of time," Robertson said, adding that "one of the long-term risks if exposed to a source like this is cancer."

The capsule in question is a tiny object that is six millimeters long and eight millimeters high, or smaller than Australia’s ten-cent coin. It is believed to have fallen from a truck traveling along the 1,400-kilometer-long highway between a mine site near the city of Newman in the northern part of Western Australia and a depot in the northern suburb of the south-western city of Perth.

When did Saudi Arabia replace South Africa in BRICS? Must have missed that memo.

Even if we leave out the questionable logic of using non-BRICS member states as counter examples to the US trying to make moves against BRICS countries for looking to launch a common currency that is blatantly intended as an alternative to the petrodollar

Indian stupidity and corruption makes it exposed financially by the Adani group at a national level. The US doesn’t need to launch direct attacks to take them down several pegs, and stock market attacks have enough plausible deniability that makes it hard for India to retaliate even if it had the means to do so, which they don’t. What counter moves could India make that would even have any impact on the US?

plawolf said:

No such low hanging fruit to pick on Saudi Arabia. To have a similar impact on the Saudi economy would require direct government level action from the US. That would then trigger Saudi retaliation and not even the US political leadership are moronic enough to go picking fights with Saudi Arabia at the same time it’s fighting a proxy war against Russia while its SOR is at near historic lows.

• Brazil: Failed economy
• Russia: lol
• India: enemy
• China: The only strong one
• South Africa: Irrelevant

There is no common currency to have in BRICS. Do you even understand that a common currency with those countries would severely damage and cripple China's wealth and economy?

Look at BRICS:

• Brazil: Failed economy
• Russia: lol
• India: enemy
• China: The only strong one
• South Africa: Irrelevant

If not for the hegemonic clash, it would make more sense for China to have a common currency with the US than with BRICS

Once again I request to unban Gatekeeper so that he can dispell these idiotic ideas that Lavrov is pushing as a smokescreen
