    India’s relationship with Russia is based on “mutual trust and mutual respect,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Moscow, where he also said he appreciated President Vladimir Putin’s leadership.

    God, I hate these guys

      What’s crazy to me is how much we in the US are investing into their economy simply because we also hate China. At least Xi seems somewhat apprehensive and reluctant to fully approve of Putin.

      I’d rather tank the Indian economy as well. I’m willing to suffer a little here in the US to make sure that any country that does business or builds further relations with Russia has it worse.

      They hate each other too, but that doesn’t help, as their club has a good time skinning the dying bear yet keeping it alive as long as it’s profitable.
