So, Russia a former communist country with leaders like Stalin is your best friend. Well, more power to you………….Personally, I take pride in our friends from the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Poland, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Jordan, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Scooter , it seems that you are too deeply rooted in the past and refuse to move on , and keep viewing everything thing in the present from a prism of the not so great past ….
If India were to think like that , we would never be “friends” with either the US or UK ,, the so called Democratic & free countries …
US because , they were the creators of this monster called “mujahideen” and propping up OBL and the Taliban … well ,, these very same “freedom fighters” and “jihadis” have been causing mayhem in India from About 2 DECADES and have cost innumerable innocent lives & untold suffering … and believe me , the human lives lost tally is much more thn 9/11 FYI . ..
UK , for “colonising” the nation if India for about a century … and playing a good enough role to ensure that India was partitioned when it got freedom ..
However , it isnt so … we ARE on good working relations with both the powers …
Yet, feel free to brag up India’s great relationship with Russia. Man did you ever think maybe Russia was playing India against the West during the Cold War????
you yourself arent sure if Russia was playing India against the west or not ,, by the usage of the underlined word.
then how do you convince you own self that Russia indeed HAD played India against the west.
Really, the only thing I don’t get about India. Is how a democratic and free goverment. Looks the other way when its supposed friend crushes the rights of other…….Russia has always used India for its own gain.
the “democratic and free government” of India is for its OWN people, and will look after the interests of the Indian people and the nation….
We have no interest in using our democracy or our freedom values to protect or support fool hardy misadventures of Mr.Saakashvili
Sorry, I am not going to debate your rewrite of history as it would be a waste of time! Also, while India is not directly relate to the conflict between Russia and Georgia (or should I say the US). India close friendship with Russia could effect its expanded relationships with the US, NATO, and Eastern Europe to name a few…………..Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised to see India to begin to distances itself more and more from Russia as time goes on. Especially, if Russia continues its evil ways toward Eastern European Countries and former Soviet Republics like Georgia.
if you might have followed Indian policy statements over the years , they always have been propounding a “multi-polar” world ,, a view shared by many other countries … so you have to look at Indias relationship with Russia , China in that context .. The American “your with us or against us” will never work with India … like i’d said before ,, India would infact be forced to move away if such a decision were ever to be thrusted upon us …..
