India’s prime minister is kicking off a two-day visit to Russia, his first since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine — a war that has complicated the relationship between the longtime partners and pushed Russia closer to India’s rival China.
Modi is working with Russia to prevent Indian citizens from being tricked into the Russians meat grinder…
Now every Indian going to Russia will know ahead of time they’re being used for the meat grinder and have a life expectancy of weeks and likely won’t even be provided with a gun to fight a war.
From India’s pov, China is always the Boogeyman, they don’t really need explicitly involved.
For Biden I think the propaganda will be that America siding with Ukraine should be taking as a warning that America will side with Pakistan. Maybe even to the point where India starts a war with Pakistan by attacking America first.
If we do see WW3 I think China will take the Soviets spot where it starts out as them fighting their own war against Russia’s side, then hopefully they align with the modern allies to stop the modern axis.
And we’re left with a cold war style thing between China and the West.
Which like, we’re kind of doing already?
There’s just too many different wars going on and countries will continue to join one side or the other as they drag on.
Recent European elections are a good sign at least, but shit could expand to an actual World War really any day now. It’s not guaranteed to pop off, but it’s been too close to comfort for years now already
So what will be the mental gymnastics to frame this as a good thing
Easy:

Transparency!
Sure I’ll take it. Just needs to tie in with China and Biden somehow.
