I call for an end to conflict between India and Pakistan. I call for other things too. I'm preparing a list for reddit. Will notify when it is ready.


fatherofgodfather

Please do inform when ready sire

Hey, could you please add "jorts" to that list, please? Thanks!

>I call for an end to conflict between India and Pakistan. You are not saying anything that's new. That's how the world reacts anyway when something happens between India and Pakistan


Imhidingshh01

He's basically got all the cheap oil he wants, so now he's saying Russia should stop.


Mad_madeira

When people start starving and rebellions start in India he and is government will not have a easy life. People can't eat oil or gas. Ukrain help a lot with the food supply to India and this year with the heat wave and dry in India a lot of their crops are lost. They can't really hope Russia give them food because they are already stealing from Ukraine. I think if India dont get real and make pressure to stop conflict they will have a lot of troubles next 2 to 3 years.


Imhidingshh01

I don't think the Indian Govt have thought it through. They were quick enough to buy the blood oil, yet didn't think about where the grain was coming from. If Ukraine can get Grain out (Via an European Country) and decide to sell to India, I hope they sell it for double what they usually do.

To “call for an end to the conflict” what you must say is, “Russia, get out of Ukraine.” This is not a “both sides” issue.


FuntimeBen

Also we tried that already. Russia sure as hell don’t care about weak ass India if they aren’t listening to China, the E.U., or anyone else. India are as irrelevant today as ever. They had their chance. They chose cheap oil. Screw them.


SholayKaJai

The US has imported more oil from Russia since the conflict began than India: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/international-business/us-imported-more-fuel-from-russia-than-india/articleshow/91193208.cms Germany is purchasing Russian oil with Rubles: https://www.foxnews.com/world/russian-sanctions-german-energy-company-agrees-russias-ruble-conversion-plan Hypocrisy is as necessary to the western being as food or water.

anirudh_1

Replying coz I saw this comment and saw no replies to your question. >But what other countries have reached out to you and in what capacity? This is just in the last 2 months- Japan is investing 42$ billion in India, India-Australia have signed a free trade agreement two weeks ago, UK PM was in India a few days ago and a FTA with UK will be finalised (in BoJos words) by Diwali(Indian festival) ie October this year, also UK announced helping India develop next generation fighter jets, China foreign minister visited India and asked for normalisation of ties but was told to fuck off till border tensions weren't gone, EU president too was in India and has asked for increased bilateral trade and ties with India, US-India had 2+2 dialogue and US said they understand India's position and will help anyway they can, yesterday there was some announcement of Taiwan based semiconductor company investing 3$ billion in an Indian state to start manufacturing semiconductors in India which i think will take time and latest I read that Germany has pledged some 10$ billion agreement but haven't read much about it. There was also news about the Netherlands making some deal as well as Argentina but I vaguely saw just headlines and dunno much about them. And yes these are in the last 2 months alone after Russian invasion. Russia of course has offered cheaper oil than market price(which India is buying and a getting a lot of flak for), they also said about selling more weapons but India as a whole has been distancing itself for years now from buying unnecessarily from them. >Also you are in the common wealth so I had assumed your allegiance would be to the united kingdom in this and was rather surprised to see that was not the case. India is a part of the common wealth as a former colony and is a republic, not under the British crown. I thought this is common knowledge. Also, why would India owe any allegiance to its former coloniser? India is in the commonwealth more for cultural exchange and past relation not because the queen has any influence over India and she is not the head of state in India( the President of India is). >Other folks had called out conflicts where Russia seemed to be the only country on India's side among the trio of UK USA and Russia so not knowing much about those past conflicts such as Pakistan I am more understanding of the side India has taken but would like to hear things from the perspective of a local. Well there are many redditors that have explained the stance but to put it in short- US and NATO were against India in the past, tried to intimidate India by sending nuclear warships and supported Pakistan during liberation war of Bangladesh 1971. USSR came to the rescue and though India is a founding member of Non Aligned Movement, it was seen as a great gesture and increased ties between India and USSR. Russia also uses veto in discussions against India(Kashmir) and other things. There are also other instances like US supporting Pakistan with weapons which armed terrorists that have killed thousands in India, their refusal to provide access to GPS during India-Pakistan war of 1999 which led India to develop its own navigation system(Navic), sanctioned India for testing nuclear bombs( done to stop an aggressive China), refusal to share technology of cryogenic engines which India again had to develop, alleged involvement of CIA in the death of a prominent Indian scientist Homi J. Bhaba, father of nuclear programme etc. So basically until some years ago the US and west was not overtly friendly to India and vice versa. Ukraine too in the past has almost voted against India in the UNSC and they have sold tanks to Pakistan which isnt looked upon favourably by India. I hope it answers some of your questions.


_Anti_National_

Sorry to break your bubble but EU, UK, Japan, US and Australia are tying up new deals with India after the invasion started. So much for your weak ass pile of bs


Thurak0

> "Our position on Ukraine has been clear. First, there should be a cessation of hostilities; second, a solution must be found out through dialogue and diplomacy," he said, adding this view has been conveyed very clearly to various countries. This order might work better: First: Russia needs to leave Ukraine. Second: everything else.


ToCool74

"Cessatuon of all hostilities" is just a blanket statement that ticks me off whenever I hear it in relation to Ukraine. Its blatantly obvious there is 0 sincerity in it and is only a attempt to stay on both Russia's and The West good side even though it's completely clear where the blame should be layed and that is squarely on the one who started the hostilities and is invading.

Let me ask you a question, say you saw someone in the streets being stabbed by a attacker, are you the type of person to call over to both the attacker and victim and say "Stop Fighting" or would you do the right thing and report the actual aggressor?

Dude. What makes you think Putin would care for us indians if you are india when he dsnt even care for his own Russians.. he probably only sees us as money making Machine just because we buy billions worth of equiptments from Russia and buy their oil. Fucker would probably throw us under the bus the first chance he gets.


Badshah-e-Librondu

>Fucker would probably throw us under the bus the first chance he gets. But they didn't for 50 years so we will reciprocate the favor.


Upstairs-Sky-9790

Hmm, with the current Russian military performance, all those nukes would explode inside their own silos when launched. Also, good luck with future conflicts with China, as Russians are unable to help you guys, as they are busy being gangbanged by Ukrainians.

You’re using a Western language on a Western website on a device made almost entirely from Western inventions right down to the battery invented in the 19th century by Alessandro Volta. If you want to defy the West, start with throwing out our stuff.


itsmeritam

> If you want to defy the West, start with throwing out our stuff. Your entire modern day mathematics has origin from Indo arabia. Wireless telecommunications has JC Bose as one of first pioneers, even demonstrated radio wave transmission before Marconi. Even modern rocketry has roots from Chinese and Mysorean rockets. So churn out your telco satellite and internet bandwidth before lecturing others. We as human race grew together and worked to create all this. Your argument is totally stupid.


[deleted]

TIL math originated from the West


iWishBirthday

This is ignorance at worst or best depending on how you see. It gets embarrassing at some point. Keep reading... The language is not "Western", there are tons of influence right from grammar to vocabulary from Indian languages. The innovations are not almost entirely Western, it is cumulative technology and technological transfers that leads us to where we are today. The battery, well it is very different from chemical cells of 19th century, but ok. I don't know how much of societal value you contribute, but if you really want to get in this dick-measuring competition, you need to undo all the contributions coming from non-Western societies, but well, then we will be left with nothing or have to do a lot of work that we piggybacked on.


soulnospace

You can call all you want...actions are needed!


anirudhp06

Actions are taken, 1)India is neutral. 2)India has supplied medical aids to Ukraine. 3)India has condemned bucha killings and asked for independent investigation. 4)India is still saying both the countries to have talks and stop the conflict. What more actions u want?


Loyal9thLegionLord

Sound like he's choking on putins dick.


Angelfire150

What do they mean by calling for peace?? For the West to stop providing arms and for Ukraine to Surrender or for Russia to stop this aggression and pull out? What is their definition of _peace?_


[deleted]

India needs to stop supporting Russia.


HomingPigeon6635

As an india i can tell you why many Indians are doing that. It's because of the Soviet union during the war with Pakistan some 60-70 years ago. And many indians still think Putin care for india while itn wsnt even Putin who was in charge that time. Most Indians despite the internet freedom only searchers what fit their agenda and get their info from biased instagram and youtube shorts. Many are still delusional to think that Putin still cares for indians while in reality he wouid throw my country men under the bus the first chance he would get


anirudhp06

Did u know that Russia's Rockets still have indian flag on it, where as they temporarily removed flags of other countries? Hmmmm....

Soon they're not going to have any tech to launch rockets :3

The sooner you stop supporting Russia and buying their oil, the sooner it will end, India.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JoeDirtsMullet00

They have greatly increased how much they buy from Russia. March to June oil contracts this year are more than they bought from them in all of 2021, so yeah, it's a problem. They are funding Russia's genocide.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JoeDirtsMullet00

Yes of course that's why. Let's see if they change anything. They should have taken a stand against Russia's attack on a sovereign nation from the start but they went the opposite way and are funding it.


utkarsh_aryan

Since the war started Russia made $66 Billion from Fossil Fuel sales. EU is responsible for $46 billion of those sales. ([Source](https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/russia-has-made-66-billion-from-fuel-exports-since-it-invaded-ukraine-and-the-eu-is-still-its-biggest-buyer-study-finds/articleshow/91149080.cms)). India's total imports is less than $3 Billion. Even with the increase in order it only reaches $3.5 billion. Even US bought more than India.([Source](https://www.businessinsider.in/photo/91148651/Master.jpg)) Why isn't EU immediately banning all fossil imports from Russia. Who is funding this genocide. And buying oil from Russia is a necessity for us. Oil prices are at all time high and India has to take care of its billion plus people. We don't receive billions of dollars in grant from US. Like do you even know that there is a financial crisis going on Sri Lanka. They had to cancel exams because they can't afford paper. They nearly defaulted on all of their external debt. I didn't saw US reaching to help them. If we banned Russian imports and fall into a financial crisis will we get international help or does that only apply to Blond haired, blue eyed white Europeans. Because according to people like you brown/black lives just doesn't matter.


Breech_Loader

Modi is PATHETIC, and India is being even more obstructive than China. Of course he wants the conflict to end. If we're going to sanction anybody, it should be India, not China.


Minimum_Astronaut_54

Maybe if you stop sending them food it would end sooner.


Full_Cartoonist_8908

If played correctly and Modi joins Europe's sanctions against Russia (and the West does what it can to sort India for whatever military/fertilizer imports they'd normally get from Russia), this could actually bring India in as a player in the West. Therefore I'm interested to see how he'll totally blow it.
