I'm really glad Indians are making contents in english.
I'm Lebanese, we speak arabic. English is a good second language to connect with other people.
This is the 3rd Indian channel I watched regarding Russia/Ukraine conflict, and I see that these channel has the most objective views and doesn't push the main stream media narrative and are not part of the propaganda

Incorrect to say Putin has "forgotten" China. Men like Putin never " forget"

[inuwooddog]

Countries like Russia and China didn't rise silently. Their rise was obvious.

However the Western dominated media, including the ones in India have political biases. They have a bad habit of flattering the countries they like, and discredit everything about the countries that they don't like. This unintentionally served as a powerful self disinformation.

I was posted in Moscow between 2004 and 2008. One of the main reasons for his initial popularity was his strong-arm tactics to eliminate the mafias that messed with ordinary people. Ironically, Putin became the ultimate mafia, but everyday life was still secure while some oligarchs like Khodorkovsky lost out.

If I had a paisa for everytime shekhar has said "sex appeal" in CTC, it'll be more than today's Rouble.😁

Russia supplied all our military hardware. Our aircraft carrier was from them, our planes are from them, our nuclear reactor from them and mainly our space program is helped a lot by them. Feel very bad to see it falling from grace.

I always thought Russia is the second most powerful country in the world irrespective of its breakdown of USSR federation. And I also thought that Putin is the most intelligent leader

[prashantchachadi]

everyone in India is aware of the fact that India is not the 3rd super power n many reckon Russia as d 2nd most powerful nation ahead of China...ofcourse China is an economic power but when it comes to geo politics Russia has been on d scene since 2008 under Putin

Not gonna lie, the last name I expected to be mentioned in a video about Vladimir Putin was Rabri Devi. This is an extremely illuminating recap though!

Putin be thinking like that, "we calm down a while and they started thinking of us as cowardice"

Underestimation of Russia is the biggest ignorance.

[gsarshi]

My Assessments of Various Players post-Ukraine Conflict:
US & Allies - Richer but Weaker, Unreliability Confirmed & Labelled Cheaters.
Russia - Poorer but Stronger.
Ukraine - Ruined, Helpless, Repentant on their backstabbing by US & Allies.
Turkey - Uncertainty, Likely Next Target, Despite Membership NATO will not Help.
China - Maximum Beneficiary Without Doing Anything.
