    Good thing Russia isn’t making friends with China and India, who could collectively give them a ton of support, am I right?

      There is a total of 0 chance that India would actively aid Russia in a war against NATO. Especially if Modi and Trump are the respective heads of state.

      China has no friends - it’s like the US in that regards. And India even struggles to project power within it’s own borders, never mind outside it.

      China could help Russia logistically, but Putin (and all of China’s other “allies” - and I use that term lightly) understand fully well that China’s “loyalty” can switch at any time - just ask Jonas Savimbi if you don’t believe me.

          China is already helping Russia.

          As I’ve already said… China could help Russia logistically - but this help could disappear in a puff of hot air tomorrow. Again… China has no friends.

          Modi just had a big state visit to Russia.

          And this doesn’t mean much in any way whatsoever.

          I don’t need to ask Jonas Savimbi, I’ve been reading current events.

          Actual history will tell you a lot more than warmed-over propaganda.

            Why are you talking about actual history when you want me to ask something of a dead person?

              Fine. Don’t ask Jonas Savimbi. Ask the entirety of Vietnam - or do you have a problem verifying the histories of countries, too?

                The entirety of Vietnam? Do you mean their entire population? Because I assume they have a range of viewpoints like humans everywhere else on Earth and are not some sort of homogeneous hived-mind entity. Is that what you believe?

                  The entirety of Vietnam?

                  Yes, the entirety of Vietnam - unless you think that there are plenty of Vietnamese who don’t know or don’t believe that Vietnam was invaded by China during the Cold War… twice.

                    And because they were invaded by China during the Cold War, they all agree that China isn’t going to substantially aid Russia in their invasion of Ukraine?

                    All 98 million of them? Even the babies?
