India abstains on UN resolution that condemns Russian invasion of Ukraine, explains move

[Taimoor Khan]

The world is taking note of their stance and as Putin puts it, of the “Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership” between Russia and India. With Cyber security becoming more important, many West clients may not want to do their data processing work in India anymore for fear of exposure to the Russians.

"net-net" - India will lose more than it gains from the current episode for sure. I wonder how the CAATSA waiver looks right ? Biden/USA adminstration had not decided - maybe they will now.

You may be right, China gains the most. West gets high inflation and an erosion of trust in it’s capabilities, Russia will lose in the long run.

Ukrain situation is very personal for Biden as well, literally!

I cant help but laugh at Indians who thought UNSC non permanent seat will be blessing for them. Turn out to be a nightmare.

US, India cracks? Biden says talks on Russia 'unresolved'

India has so far avoided condemning Russian actions in Ukraine, although Modi urged an end to violence in a call with Putin.

You seem to think that India quakes, and has Bajwa's perspiration and knee trembling episode.

That's a Pakistani knee jerk not India's

India has voted against US resolutions before and probably will in future too.

PM Modi have spoken.

You failed to mention China and UAE also abstained. The vote was lost due to one countries veto. That of Russia.
Will the Americans be angry ?
Certainly. Its not the first, nor the last time that India will vote for what is in India's interests. No doubt there will be consequences, but there always have been consequences.

As an Indian I understand but am horrified that we did not stand up for Ukraine.
The Indian press and media are whole heartedly condemning this invasion as do nearly all Indians.

It is a cynical and shameful abstention, forced by realpolitik.

We could not have voted against Russia while acquiring 60% of our foreign defence purchases from Russia and we could not be seen to reinforce the Beijing-Moscow axis while LAC remains unresolved. Moscow being the only country with some influence in Beijing.

Remember EVEN Beijing played safe by abstaining, and not supporting Russia, by voting against the US resolution.

Neither China or UAE on in some quad bloc that claims to stand for a global rules based order.

For India there should be 2 main lessons from this Conflict

First West is not a reliable defense partner, in case of Conflict with China they won't intervene militarily no matter whether you are part of QUAD or any military alliance with them, at best would impose economic sanctions on China

Second and more important, NEVER EVER GIVE UP our nukes or any weapon of mass destruction. They are the only thing that guarantees something like 1962 will never happen again. Get French Baracuda submarines even if it cost 10s of billions and develop more longer range SLBMs.

You are right but for the wrong reasons.

Post bookmarked.
Really? The west had research labs in India when US-India relationship was at its infancy and India was more tilted towards Russia.

This has nothing to do with US or Russia. This has everything to do with how we manage the situation. Just like how Pakistanis have been wrongly predicting since --
1) MMRCA - India will be under US pressure and buy f-18.
2) S-400 will never come
3) Sanction on India...

nothing changes.

If you are truthful to yourself you are bitter that Imran Khan's visit to Russia will bear nothing more than just pleasantries.

 

[Maira La]

The east should stop looking at the world from the west’s pov.

An Indian saying this? Has Hell frozen over?

1) MMRCA - India will be under US pressure and buy f-18.

If we are forced into choosing an American Fighter for MRCA to avoid sanctions, then we should go with F15EX. They are the best in 4.5 Gen Fighter aircraft category.

Indians hoping it just slows a little, but security is now front in center in the west. So Indian firms will be considered suspect via a vi security. Already too many Indian scammers, imagine if they start phishing attacks at the behest of their Russian partners.

QUAD is not a military alliance. It was NEVER a military alliance.
This from the last meeting

"Biden convened a virtual Quad meeting attended by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. They formed working groups on COVID-19 vaccines, climate change, and technological innovation and supply-chain resilience."

PMIK's visit to Russia put India in a diplomatic hot seat. That alone was worth the effort.

Indian foreign policy follows the "dumb-wanna-be-cunning" prostitute business model, sleep with all rich gangsters and make money but then ends up in a situation when both gangsters take the blue pill and show up at her door at the same time
