Int'l Politics is very funny and interesting. The leverage the US is exercising as a blackmail for many of the so called allies "trapped" in this anti Russian coalition is that Russia violated Ukraine's sovereignty (Which is correct).

Now, the same US is threatening the decisional sovereignty of many countries who dared to not buy it's endorsed response (Sanctions) against Russia.

What a paradox! It leads u to believe the theory of realists that when morality is at variance with a country's interests (as is sometimes is), the question of action will be decided by power and power plays. This is Russia's illegitimate fate over Ukraine. This is America's fate that opposed Cuba being USSR's proxy but support Ukraine's being NATO'S expansion.

This is int'l politics. Only emotionally overwhelmed folks choose a side and think they are on the path of justice

This is the stand Africa should take as Russia has always backed India throughout in History. And for those still asking what has Africa benefited
Russia supported decolonization efforts in Africa.

Namely;

Algeria: provided military, technical and material support to the National Liberation Front (NFN) to liberate Algeria from their French colonial masters during the Algeria Independence war and was the first country in the world to recognize the provisional Government of the Algerian Republic.

Angola: Russia helped stopped the Apartheid South African government from encroaching into Angola. They trained their forces in both Namibia and Tanzania.

Congo: Patrice Lumunba reached out to Russia for military assistance and they promptly responded by sending military advisors and munitions but the might of Belgian backed forces that had colonized Congo for decades was too much and Patrice Lumumba was later executed. One of the charismatic leaders Africa ever produced.

Egypt: Russia supported Gamal Abdul Nasser administration and gave scholarships to young Egyptians and among them was a future president Hosni Mubarak

Ethiopia: Helped Ethiopia regain its sovereignty after it was almost taken over by Somalia. The Somalia forces had completely taken over Ethiopia before Russia shipped in military hardwares and that was the end of the war

Guinea: Russia supported anticolonial struggle in Guinea. Gave aids to their newly formed independent government

South Africa: Russia was in the forefront of supporting the end to the apartheid regime. Funded the African National Congress.

In summary:
While the west colonized you and took away your resources, Russia supported decolonization and was applauded by Mandela.

The West never made any sacrifices for Africans

Meninmen:

The US should stop doing business with China because China is bullying India? Lol. Why should they do that? Because India is part of NATO or what?

Oyiboman69:
what is the use of them being an ally?...besides, now that Russia is invading Ukraine, should the whole world just sit and watch?. People should at this moment give kudos to USA for standing up for the less powerful nation....

mrmacdon:


It is an international politics, Indian will not want to be on Russia bad book since the are not good term with China, the also hv a long history with Russia wen Russia came to dia aid

oluwaseyi0:
US should go and invade Indian

Everyone must be their puppet by fire by force

Many European countries are freely patronizing Russian gas but India shouldn't simply because uk/USA say so, it's like they are mad

If you don't want them to buy from Russia sell to them at cheaper rate, simple

Even if that means US will buy at higher price, subsides and resell to India at lower prices no one cares




Are the US giving them the weapon for free? Or are they giving them 1 fighter jet for 2 ruppee?

India even cancelled weapons they've already ordered but yet to be delivered from Russia because of this war, they can afford to do that but expecting India to cancel gas which will invariably implode her economy and starve her citizens is asking for too much

It's like 2 of my neighbors fighting one which is a food seller then people are expecting me to starve my family by not buying food from the fighting neighbor even when there is no viable alternative

When China is bullying India why didn't US stop patronizing China and ask all of their allies to do same for sake of India?

MadamVanessa:



India is so insignificant with their abject poverty status


Average countries that is paralyzed with POVERTY are the ones supporting Russia Afghanistan inclusive

hopefulLandlord:


If they were then there would probably be no reason for USA to make these statements. don't you think?

oluwaseyi0:


So when it's comfortable for US they remember India is not a NATO nation but when it's not convenient they forget about that

If not for too much effontary what will make USA tell a non-NATO member to severe tiers with its trading partner

Remember this same non-NATO India country cancelled an already signed and to be delivered weapon deal with Russia

What right then do US has to complain about India patronizing them (USA) of arms when they are the same snake that pressured India to stop patronizing Russia for weapon

You ask me not to buy from other sellers yet you are still angry I'm buying from you? What exactly do US want? And the reason India MUST continue buying Russia gas is because US is incapable of supplying them alternative gas as can be done in case of weapon

Or will US prefer India starve her people and watch her economy implode all in the bid to please NATO countries who don't really care much about India since India is not a NATO

Oga I really pity any country that you ever become the president of

any sensible person will smell their antics of power tussle with the west from a far....
It is not lost on us that Africa is a hunting ground for European super powers who find comfort in our state of unrest.

Like China, Russia is just trying to reignite their influence on Africa and like I said,some of us can smell it from a distance cos they are no more difference from their western counterpart as they are also interested in gaining popularity as their journey to Africa is already late. However a troubled Africa is a welcoming environment for foreign invaders....

Georgejeez:
How USA even de feel sef?
I blame the foolish European countries dancing to their tune while their continent boils and burns .

The earlier The European countries put their continent first , sideline UN, NATO whatever , call the leadership of Russia and Ukraine to sit down , then settle the matter amicably , the better for them .

US been playing on their intelligence, imagine deceiving all of them to stop buying crude and gas from Russia, yet they themselves buy Crude from same Russia,, deceive and threaten with sanctions to stop EU from purchasing gas from Russia so they can ship their own gas at exorbitant prices to sell for mumu Europe and continue to cash out .

If they are truly serious , why don't they (US) sell their own gas at same price as Russian gas to the European countries so they can easily stop buying Russian gas and still not spend more .

Show me a Yahoo Nation and I will show you USA
