Ukraine can’t believe Indian leader met “bloody criminal” Russian ruler on day of children’s hospital bombing.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for embracing Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow on the day the Kremlin’s forces bombed a children’s hospital in Kyiv. 

“It is a huge disappointment and a devastating blow to peace efforts to see the leader of the world’s largest democracy hug the world’s most bloody criminal in Moscow on such a day,” Zelenskyy wrote, referring to the deadly Russian attacks.

Modi arrived in Moscow on Monday for a two-day state visit, marking his first trip to Russia since it began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

In a video clip that went viral Monday evening, Modi climbed out of a car, walked up some steps to meet Putin, and gave the Russian president a warm hug.

I was not aware of that, in what sense?

Well Modi’s ruling a wannabe fascist genocidal party.

Hindu nationalists dream of expanding into neighbouring states because historical borders at some period or whatever.

Ruthless capitalists like Adani who fuck over countries around the world to extract their wealth.

Etc.

Also they seem unwilling to crack down on scammers and hackers preying on the west, so they should pair well with their Russian counterparts who do the same but are much more sophisticated.

they also refuse to crack down on their people immigrating to the west in droves via...surprise, surprise....scamming. They scam their way into countries by lying and falsifying documents. Saying their immigrating to go to school when in truth they're doing it for the easy PR status. Essentially travelling half way across the world to attend a community college and get a degree or certification in a minium wage field. And they can barely do that as most fail their community college classes. you essentially have "businesses" in india set up purely to scam people into a western country.

But they provide cheap and exploitable labor for companies in countries they immigrat to and they're too ignorant to realize they're being exploited. And then you have the Indians who immigrated legitimately and start their own businesses now being shaken down by organized Indian gangs who entered the country the same way the "students" did in order to scam "protection money" that gets sent right back to crime families in India.

If there's one country that needs to be sanctioned and it's people barred from entering a country it's India. at least until they get their own house in order. I guarantee you in a few years they'll be no better than russia.

Modi is a little late to the War on Islam Terror, but he's perfectly in line with Europe and the US in his desire to wipe Muslims Fighting Age Radical Islamic Extremists off the face of the earth.

Modi wants to wipe little old women and babies off the face of the Earth as well.

Do explain the Hindu' nationalists dream of expanding into neighbouring states because historical borders at some period or whatever' part. I am unaware

I'm not familiar with the politics of Modi's party, but if I had to guess based on "historic borders", that would probably be Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal.

OK, but any specifics? That's what I'm looking for, not what some people's intuition tells them is the 'hindu fascists' intention to occupy foreign territory

I don't know what you want me to explain. There are only a handful of countries on the Indian subcontinent that could, in any sense, be called India's "historical borders". It's literally the same as any other fascist colonizer belief.
