I believe pride is central to Indian's problem. It stops them from work hard to improve because they refuse to acknowledge their current poor state. This manifest in two ways. First they need someone to step on. They compare themselves to someone who is decent (China) and convince themselves India is better. Second they need to borrow glory from someone. They compare themselves to those better than them to convince themselves be equal. But at the same time this pride is very valuable for stopping them become puppets of USA. Why would I bend over to you if I am your equal? So instead of just mocking that pride we should work with it.

You cannot change that pride, but you can rework it to make it more suitable for cooperation. Hear me out: "China is an equal to India, and they need our (indian) help. Western countries are losers and we India is smarter than them. We have independent diplomacy and we are backing the winner that is Russia. The fact China can see that makes them on the same page as us which means they are worthy to work with."

If somehow we can rework the narrative that way we can foster a cooperative relationship with India; regardless of their pride that they are better than us. We just need to swap the position with west. Make India step on west instead. Make China share glory to India. To do so we have Russia to act as pivot. Convince them western country are dumb, and China is smart, but not smarter than India. This way you earn just enough respect, but not so much that they become jealous. In other words there needs something done on western country. Beating western country is the key to pacifying India.

India really doesn't know how to host International events. I was bashing them about their third world status but seeing as how warmly and properly Indonesia hosted the previous G-20 I take it back. Cheapskates and weird people. Probably their way of telling the world, they're not a serious country and shouldn't be burdened with hosting International events. I'm sure the money they saved on the red carpet and assigning a few people to hoover it was spent on feeding their starving population. Jai be-hind!

All that recent trading and "non-lethal aid" seems to have had some sort of effect in Russia:

That said, consider the suggestion to not cheat so much and treat the biathlon as a serious opportunity to learn best practice from each team, instead of a show to win some face at any cost.

Earlier, another Russian official, deputy defense minister for military technical cooperation with foreign countries General Aleksandr Fomin, accused U.S. forces of assisting the Syrian rebels in carrying out drone attacks on the Khmeimeem airbase. Speaking at the Xiangshan security forum in Beijing last fall, he said that, “a group of 13 drones moved according to a common plan of combat deployment, under control of a single crew team. That time, a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon ASW aircraft was on an eight-hour patrol mission over the Mediterranean Sea. Upon reaching out our electronic warfare shield, the drones retreated somewhat to receive correcting instructions and began using satellite communications channels to receive outside assistance to find and explore gaps in that shield. Then the drones attempted to penetrate through, only to be destroyed.”

Western media amplifies "Conclusion made with Low Confidence (i.e., Total Guess!)" shows how low they have dropped. No wonder public trust in US mainstream media is at a historic record low at 66% distrust rate. (

Don't ya git that feeling, that this is still all related to Huawei 5G.

Huawei, the biggest exhibitor at the world's biggest tech trade show, MWC in Barcelona.

That was too much for those snowflakes to handle in the Biden administration.

Maybe they want the Chinese to retaliate?

The Chinese could ban TikTok from the American market. Somehow, I do not think that will happen.
