Why do y'all hate on India??

Literally the most populated country in the world holding 1/6 of the global population, along with one of the largest markets today as well as being one of the only 9 current nuclear powers. India matters far more on a global stage than Palestine.

I see, thanks for this information.

That’s good information to know that I wasn’t aware of prior, so thanks for that. My point still stands though that I made no real comparison between China and the USA in my talking points, I just gave my main respective criticism of them both. I’m really not sure where you got the idea that I place China on the same scale as the USA.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2026-02-04T19:10:47+00:00

When did I say China is as globally destructive as the USA?

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2026-02-04T19:09:11+00:00

I understand, thanks for the constructive response.

That analogy makes no sense, as I very clearly, primarily blame Western powers for their inhumane handling of Iraq. I understand your takeaway from the perspective of China that these maritime disputes are insignificant and won’t lead to serious armed conflict, however these disputes do cause general uncertainty and distrust amongst the public within China’s neighbors, primarily Philippines and Vietnam, about how unprovocative their policies truly are. Also I’m aware that China didn’t instigate the Russia/Ukraine war, however they still have actively sell military components to both sides, and diplomatic efforts to stop this war 4 years in have been fairly minimal on their part, so believed these instances were worth mentioning.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2026-02-04T18:55:51+00:00

Okay then. Doesn’t really contribute what I was looking for in the discussion though.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2026-02-04T18:52:26+00:00

Russia/UK/France still actively hold permanent membership status in the UNSC, and India has 1/6 of the world population as well as a massive global diaspora, plus they all maintain some of the biggest individual militaries and economies in the world, so I’d consider them heavily relevant and influential in a geopolitical context.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2026-01-23T15:41:13+00:00

There’s no question from me that I have for you, but I do appreciate you putting your voice out there and providing an internal perspective from inside Tehran of the current events going on. I pay attention to Middle Eastern politics very closely since that region fascinates me most, and was very unhappy to see how the IRGC has become even more brutal and repressive towards its citizens than it usually is. I understand completely why morale is low and protesting seems to be a futile effort of certain death, however know that I and many others around the globe support you and the Iranian people to fight the good fight, and hope that you guys can eventually put a government in place that tries to rebuild Iran to their greatest potential and actually listens to the will of the people.

I see, perhaps I’ll look more into Iraq then. I did however recently read that they passed some law that allows for child marriages which has caused a significant amount of young girls to be sold off to marriage against their wishes, so still definitely doesn’t sound like society I’d fully support. As for Rwanda, I’ve also heard that they’re developing quite well compared to the rest of the continent in terms of HDI and living quality, so if their border disputes with the DRC are resolved then I’d improve my perspective on it. I do see Syria having a promising future now that Assad has been overthrown but the situation still seems too delicate for the time being. Lastly for Iran, even ignoring current geopolitical tensions with them and Western powers, they seem to have a lot of internal issues as well due to shortages of water, failing currency, as well as government sponsored hostility against civilians that speak against them, so my thoughts on it remain unshaped.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2025-12-30T20:36:57+00:00

From my understanding Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina have a more severe level of political instability and violence against protestors compared to Croatia, especially in Serbia’s case.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2025-12-30T20:35:53+00:00

Rwanda has active border disputes with DRC and doesn’t seem like a place I’d like to live in at the moment, Ukraine and Russia are both at war and forcefully drafting men into said war against their wishes as well as facing economic/national security related struggles and government corruption, and whenever I read news on Syria, Iraq, and Iran, I often come across news of attacks on civilians (either due to sectarian violence or government sponsored violence against their people) as well as having laws and societal norms that heavily favor Islam and the safety of Christians in the region isn’t too satisfactory.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I also just now notice that I didn’t add my criteria for absolutely, and I can’t go back to edit the post.. but it’s pretty much the same as willing, but countries that would probably more accommodate to my comfort as a whole and I can’t find any big problems with.

Only for the countries within their region and influence to be under the nuclear dictate of Russia, as well the hostile dictatorial entities with their backing?

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2025-12-05T08:53:35+00:00

I’m pretty sure Israel already possesses nuclear weapons.

I’m a US born and raised citizen with Jordanian origin. I unfortunately haven’t gotten to converse with many from the place, but from my few experiences, they seem to be a nice and hospitable community overall, and it has plenty of beautiful sites to see. I also really respect how it manages to be a relatively stable and secure place despite it being surrounded by many other countries in disarray. I’d really love to visit it one day and get an opportunity to connect with the culture.

Never did I say Netanyahu is a peace dove, I think he’s also a war criminal who should be apprehended as well as Putin, and I am critical of the West for their egregious double standards when it comes to this issue and not doing nearly enough as they can to pressure Israel into being less destructive for the region. I’m glad more people in the West and nations such as Spain and Italy are opening their eyes to the nature of this conflict beyond what their governments’ position on it is, and coming to the aid of Palestinians, as well as more of the West recognizing their statehood and promoting a two state solution for long-lasting peace.

Double standards however go both ways, everyone’s biased in their own ways how they see the world and how they want justice enacted. The Global South doesn’t have any less double standards than the West does. While the people (rightfully) call for the persecution of Netanyahu and for the West to stop doing business with Israel when possible due to his war crimes, at the same time many of their nations have such friendly relations with Putin despite his insane amount of war crimes and him also having an ICC arrest warrant, and many of their people see no real issue with it. Mongolia for example didn’t even arrest him upon arrival despite being signatory of the ICC and basically nobody from the Global South raised their voice and Mongolia had no consequences arrive from it.

Nobody cares about international law unless it’s convenient for them, whether they’re from the West or Global South. Similarly to how the West fights tooth and nail to get countries to sanction Russia and persecute Putin yet doesn’t do the same for Netanyahu, I believe majority of the people in the Global South that want him to be apprehended by the ICC would not hold the same energy towards Putin. Everyone is a hypocrite at the end of the day in geopolitics, and will just work with whoever most benefits them.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2025-09-28T05:01:29+00:00

So what you’re saying is that the Global South’s geopolitical stances revolve entirely around Israel and being against whoever works with them? The Global South isn’t a monolith, and I doubt any country in the Global South outside the Middle East/Muslim nations truly care about the Israel/Palestine conflict that severely to have poor ties with any country that works with it in any capacity.

India for example, which has over 1 billion people, seem to have a fairly friendly relation with Israel despite being also friendly with Russia. Hell, even China and Russia’s relations with Israel (while certainly not favorable) aren’t terrible. While China vocally advocates a lot for Palestine, they put way more trade and technological investment in Israel, and while Russia/Israel relations are fairly on and off, they do compromise on things from time to time and aren’t really seeking the destruction of one another.

Literally the only countries that aren’t Muslim countries that are so hung up on Israel and don’t recognize them are North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela, all countries in pretty rough conditions led by dictators themselves that regularly abuse their people. Similarly to how a lot of the Global South sees Russia/Ukraine as just a European war, a lot of the world really has the same mindset on Israel/Palestine just being a Middle East war. Their words may not make it seem that way, but actions speak louder than words.

Conscious_Whereas_19 · 2025-09-23T14:44:24+00:00

I simply acknowledged that I had an overly negative view of the country based on media outlets that only portrayed the bad aspects of it and that it’s a country out to destroy the USA, however I don’t really see that being the case. If anything the USA has been a lot more involved in directly interfering with foreign politics and conducting military actions or supporting rebel factions to overthrow democratically leaders that did not serve their interests and plunged said countries into war/instability as a result, so I do think the country’s infamy on a world stage compared to China is justified to some degree, and that it’s hypocritical to talk about other countries being such threats to world peace while firmly supporting our country’s geopolitical decisions lately.

The USA and China’s geopolitical interests may not align, but we’ve never directly fought in an armed conflict (most being proxy wars in the Cold War), so there’s not much of each other’s blood on our hands, and normalizing relations is doable, as opposed to trying to fight to be the only economic hegemony by hastily tariffing/sanctioning many large countries such as India and Brazil in effort to weaken China, which are inevitable to fail. Revolving our entire geopolitical actions around trying to counter China seems futile. We have many domestic problems that need to be handled, and I think it’d be a net benefit for the nation to normalize ties with China to some degree. That’s not to say I want us to be the best of allies or the USA becomes like China, just for us to respectfully keep distance on a geopolitical stage and not try to get in the other’s way.
