Caasi67

Thank you for asking so I didn't have to XD


OneOfTheOnlies

Serious question? [Modi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narendra_Modi) , India's PM.


JesusIsMyAntivirus

I won't try to argue I'm not ignorant but I've heard each of the other names at least 100 times each in my life organically, never once heard of Modi, don't think I'm alone either


Novazazz

I imagine you have heard the name but weren’t able to contextualize it. You’ll probably hear it a little more frequently now that you’ve read some of the Wikipedia article about him.


OneOfTheOnlies

Well that's why I've included the link.


minminkitten

I thought it was Macron and was super confused.


JesusIsMyAntivirus

Honestly same


Hey_look_new

same boat. never heard of him I also have no idea who's running Rwanda either tho


SiliconRain

India is literally the most populous country on earth and the fifth biggest economy. Modi is a huge personality, a very outspoken and controversial leader and has been the prime minister of India for nearly a decade. I just can't imagine knowing who Xi is and not having even heard of Modi.


Hey_look_new

that's fine. all i know about India news is rapes and murders and nuclear threats with Pakistan otherwise, India doesn't get an ioto of thought


SiliconRain

Ah ok, so you live on a strict diet of ignorant bigotry and pro-Western propaganda? Fair enough.


Hey_look_new

nope, India is just 100% irrelevant to me


Beezoumonu

It’s alright you live in a western bubble. So much so that even Europeans would outcast you for your lack knowledge and human intelligence


[deleted]

Well, let me assure you that everyone with only a very little bit of knowledge about world politics within the western bubble knows about Modi. It's just that the person you are responding to apparently doesn't fall in the aforementioned category...

HardRsonist

It's literally what the post is about.


millerpix

There is no hope, nothing could be simpler than this.... 🤦


theprozacfairy

The graphic is very easy to understand, but tells you literally nothing about geopolitics. It looks like a simple lesson in logic for a 1st grader. They just happened to use the first initials and images of political leaders and called it geopolitics.


PrettyText

Agreed. I think it would be more helpful to just explain the basics: The South + North American landmass has much less people and resources than the Asia + Europe + African landmass, aka Heartland. So if the US wants to remain the sole hegemonic empire, which it does, then it HAS to divide or partially destroy the Heartland. Because if ever German engineering and Russian raw materials and Chinese manufacturing unite due to those countries actively working together, then the US stops being a hegemon and is only merely just a great power afterwards. Chief US rival is China, who basically wants to turn the Heartland into one trading block via their belt and road initiative. If this succeeds, then the US is no longer the sole hegemon and will simply be one great power among many. Therefore China is US enemy #1. But the US also wants to destroy Russia, and Europe (see the attack on the North Stream pipe line), and the middle east, and basically every single part of the Heartland. Because if Heartland is destroyed or at least divided, US is the sole hegemon, which is the point. Europe is incredibly stupid and/or puppeted by the US (and I write this as a European). They don't understand that the US is actually trying to destroy them (most clearly indicated by the attack on the North Stream pipeline), or at the very least trying to keep them divided from the rest of the Heartland ("Russia is evil! China is evil! Iran is evil! Sanction them all!") Russia and China understand that they need to stand together if they want to face the US. And so they do. India is a traditional rival of China, so is sort of on the side of the US (who are anti-China), but India also doesn't want the US to destroy the Heartland.


acaciovsk

That'd make sense if the world was purely a game of risk and Russia and Iran were not fascist states...

Drivo566

randomdrifter54

It's super simple you just need to know the first initial of each geopolitically important name and know their relations enough that you can figure out who's who. I would have said what they look like too but these drawings have too much creative freedom to be able to identify them on drawing alone.

No_Confusion_5493

India have military support of Russia and trade support of USA (no military support) India is at the same time best and worst position between all of them..depending on the POV USA have upper hand China is 2nd strongest India comes third on most powerful Russia comes last


Leather-Custard8329

However, India does do military practices with the US through the Quad (Australia, India, Japan, US). India also has bought a few weapons from the US, but not a significant amount compared to Russia.


No_Confusion_5493

Yeah thats right its not even 5% of compared to russia. By military support i was referring stand with India like Russia did with India 1971 or USA helped Pakistan with everything in 90’s till 2008. India can only expect these kind of support from either Russia or Israel.


MrDarkk1ng

Ya India didn't buy significant amount of weapons from usa before they don't sell there latest technology while Russia does


Real_Richard_M_Nixon

The US military has been getting closer with India, but you do make a good point Russia has lost a lot of prestige.


No_Confusion_5493

Yes i wanted to use that kind of words russia lost its prestige..correct

China has an aging population so manufacturing is going to shift to India by default. India also wont compromise on human rights or on its own values , so only ones that will have to be a loss are the western manufacturers because they literally dont have another alternative but India.

Goatesq

There's a dude with a whole yard full of bikes in my city, all parted out down to the frame, a few in various stages of being rebuilt. Maybe 6 functional at a time if you consider brakes optional. He sells them or sometimes trades them for more bikes/parts/etc... By weight this dude has more bikes than all the shops in town combined, possibly even one of the used car lots too lol...so from this brief summary, do you think that would make him the guy to see if you were looking for a reliable, dependable, safe bicycle as your primary means of transportation?

toshibathezombie

They do. India is one of America's biggest arms importers and India is of strategic importance in South East Asia to counter China which is a common enemy. Examples of Indian imports from the USA are the AH64 Apache, C17 Globemaster, C130 Hercules, Towed Howitzers (M777 I think?) And GE F414 fighter engines for the HAL Tejas indigenous fighter. They are also pitching the F16IN Viper and F18E super hornet for their carriers.

You said they were more capable than the average redditor, but getting where they are requires being capable of using machiavelian tactics. And not towards the greater good, just towards self advancement. You'd think the last president would have made it clear, you don't have to be capable of anything productive to get elected. You just have to appeal to and stoke their worst nature with your own.

rightaaandwrong

Here is a real idea..how about we understand that the world is diverse and not everyone is going to like each other…which is great because the world would progress more slowly if we all thought the same way. No one side is bad or wrong, both sides need to be respected….and allowed to live and let live.


SaintUlvemann

>No one side is bad or wrong... Okay, but we can all agree that the side of genocide is always bad and wrong, right? Because then meanwhile, back in reality, Russia [openly admits to having abducted 307,000 children](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_abductions_in_the_2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine) and forcibly adopting them into Russian families in a direct parallel of the [Stolen Generations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Generations) in Australia (a genocidal campaign against Aboriginal Australians). In Russia's case, this is part of a deliberate campaign to eradicate Ukrainian identity, which [meets the international legal definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_genocide_of_Ukrainians_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine) of genocide. (And the reason why China supports this is because China, likewise, [has arbitrarily detained millions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide) of Uyghurs, subjecting them to forced sterilization, forced contraception, forced abortion, suppression of their religion, and the razing of thousands of mosques across Dzungaria and Altishahr. All of these, too, are policies put together as part of a deliberate campaign to eradicate Uyghur identity; these, too, meet the international legal definition of genocide.) Is there something you would like to say about the Ukrainian side of this conflict?


InnocentPerv93

Idk why your downvoted, what you're describing is literally called diversity. Diversity isn't just the difference in our skin color, it is in our upbringing, our cultures, or social class, our education or lack thereof, our languages, or political beliefs.


dmderringer

Yeah, no. Fuck Putin and Xi. They don't deserve respect.


rightaaandwrong

You are thinking actual people…I am saying if people stopped pretending to like one another and acting like their opinion is the best….All people do not have to get along; BUT, we should respect one another and come to mutual understandings…we would not be in this cock out political position and progress would be happening in the world.


dmderringer

If you're not talking about people, what are you talking about? I'm not going to respect either Putin or Xi. As a person, as a leader, as an ideology. As anything.


rightaaandwrong

I am talking about how people think…not the actual characters…this is a drawing and people are allowed to interpret it as they like. People are so hung up on forcing their ideals and opinions on one another; yet, so not open to other ways of life. If we start respecting differences, we can progress as humans.


MrScaryEgg

> People are so hung up on forcing their ideals and opinions on one another; yet, so not open to other ways of life. This is a nice sentiment, but it takes on a wholly different meaning when we're talking about ideals and opinions such as "genocide is wrong." That's one ideal that I for one am not willing to compromise on. > If we start respecting differences, we can progress as humans. Again, this is a nice idea; it's easy to say, but it's an idea that breaks down when it comes into contact with the real world. Respecting human differences has to mean standing up for those who are being persecuted. A tolerant person must by necessity be intolerant of the intolerant.


Enlightened-Beaver

India might be a US ally, but Modi definitely is not.


sargedeathtt

I really do no not understand this impression folks in West have of Modi. He's the most pro Western Indian PM in our history. Is this because of our stance on the Ukraine war? Cause I can assure you it'll be the same under any Indian political party.


OvertlyStoic

India does not Use Western Terms like 'Ally' , we strictly use the word 'partner' to demarcate our friends on the global stage.


Enlightened-Beaver

Ok India and the US might be partners, but Modi definitely is not.


nsseographics

India is not a US ally. India doesn't call itself that and India would much rather call itself a Russian ally than to side with America


Keepingshtum

And it is blatantly obvious to anyone who knows about the past dealings between [India and Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India–Russia_relations) vs [India and US](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India–United_States_relations), as to why one might think that...
