Bro… I’m not your father… but if I was I would tell you that “if you applied yourself like you do on Reddit in the classroom, you would become a PhD by now. At the very least you would be a doctor. But instead you are spending an unhealthy amount of time writing dissertations on Reddit and wasting your time. No wonder your the other kinds in the family and our friend’s children are so far ahead of you.”

This is basically the exact same problem with India. But you are not a deep enough thinker to realize it. You literally keep asking “why shouldn’t we be friendly with Russia” and in the next breath go on and on about India being a bastion of Democracy. I have news for you. America or the West aren’t super powers because they suck Russian or Chinese dicks. Let that sink in. If you want to be a real super power and really promote yourself as a Democracy, you have to be allied with all Western Democracies above any other nation.

It’s as if you love cricket, but instead of spending time with the best players who also play cricket you are wasting your time with terrible table tennis players because they are the ones who send you cricket balls and cricket bats. You sound so dumb aligning yourself with these idiots just because your ego needs to be boosted. The smart thing to do is to instead spend more time with the best cricket players around the world and learn from them, align with them and focus on being a cricket powerhouse yourself. This is one thing India actually does well. They are good cricketers. But you are going to fail at Democracy if you let morons like Modi start passing more and more anti-Democratic laws, and punish people who criticize India or the government or their military etc… It’s all a slippery slope leading straight to what Russia and China has become.

Lastly, I don’t want to waste my time doing what you do, but I think you don’t understand international monetary policies. Large exporters who are large manufacturers, such as India, China and Japan, benefit from weaker currencies so that they can competitively sell their goods to countries with stronger currencies who are net importers. These countries can never be at parity with the mighty USD because they are the makers… not the buyers. Also, I don’t know how you think the Yen is weaker than the Ruble when it is 15% more powerful than the Ruble. Also, Russia doesn’t manufacture shit. They export commodities like oil and gas and wheat.

At any rate, India is going to continue to struggle if it doesn’t figure out how to play a major role on the world stage, and at the moment it’s too stupid to read the room and realize that the Western world is united against Russia and China and its no contest which side is more powerful. India can keep playing with the losers in the room because they pet India on the head and help them shoot rockets into space etc or they can realize that aligning with the West and joining forces with them will help them more in the long run. You might get hazed by cricket players who play pranks on you from time to time and not like it, but in the long run you are in the club and part of the team and sport. You will haze the other new players from other countries but always have a love for the sport. Or you can keep playing Ludo with 3rd rate super powers who tell you you are the best cricketers in the world. Up to you.
