India punishes Russia for its China ties

[SrNair]

No one is taking him serious we are all laughing at him and his indian mentality.

Elite troll hunter to be precise


The crime was being committed on their soil and believe me they dealt with it far better than any government in all of south asia would have.

Well .We dont need their unnecessary dealings .They are not the wholesale dealers of justice.

It's not normal when you see politicians of 2 enemy nations hold hands and walk.It's funny and creepy at the same time.

Then what? You expect them to give a death stare at each other and walk? It's just photo op. Nada mas nada menos. And enmity is between the two state policies, don't expect the head of the states or diplomats to run into a spat.

 

[litman]

wait for indian members to give the details of ongoing indian russian joint projects and defense deals to prove that russia and india are still husband and wife respectively. their divorce will be welcomed by large no of countries including USA.

lol, bitter leftist bhadrakumar at it again.

 

[jbond197]

The negative rating hurts you but your so called truth didn't even phase me a bit
I would only make fun of the individual like you said but the problem is that a good deal of indians do believe that they can punish Russia,USA and probably the rest of the world.This video shows their true mentality.

If trolls can't play by the rules then why should I?

Lol, you are like a 5 year old kid who got a new toy to play with. I dont mind your negative ratings i know you get a high out of it, so high five do it again.

Infact russia can put reverse pressure on India and say if u cut these deals u won't be getting spares for T 90 SU 30 BRAHMOS MIG 29 K S 400 etc most of indian armory turn into junk without resupplies and not to forget nuke submarine aircraft carrier and kilo class subs would be deadly duds bring India on its knees begging for supplies

Its hard to resist money, Turks downed Russian jet and Russia still kept on selling gas to Turks, they did not stop the gas supply after the incident. As long as Indians are paying money, they'll keep on selling. Its even true for weapon sales to Pakistanis, Russians will ditch India in a blink of an eye if Pakistan becomes bigger customer than India. In short, its all about the money..

In modern world economy, whoever is paying money for business service/product has leverage, and in this case, russia has ALOT of money to earn from India,and INdia knows that, so if Russia doesnt want to "help" India, India will give that lucrative, national economy sustaining biz to someone else,might have to be US. lol

@ person who said Gen Hameed said Modi is the best thing for Pakistan, i dont agree. Even if india is cutting off many valuable old relationships, today's India is considerably stronger if she wants to act independently towards any country.

India punishes Russia for its China ties

An exclusive story in today’s Times of India claims that India has made Russian projects to construct more nuclear power plants in India conditional on Moscow persuading Beijing to give up its opposition to India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. India argues that sans NSG membership it will be constrained to settle for an indigenous nuclear energy programme. Working backwards, the logic goes, China must lift its block on India’s NSG membership and Moscow must prevail upon Beijing to fall in line or else India will freeze tens of billions of dollars worth lucrative nuclear commerce for Russia’s nuclear vendor in the Indian market.

This tantalising story has been deliberately leaked to the media just 2 weeks before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Russia. The Indian establishment appears to be signalling displeasure over Moscow’s reluctance to get involved in the India-China muddle. Extraneous factors might also have crept in such as our disquiet over the visible deepening of the Sino-Russian alliance and Moscow’s growing friendship with Pakistan.

The best spin one can give is that India is finding an alibi to roll back its nuclear power programme altogether. Conceivably, now that the Westinghouse has gone bankrupt, the Indian elites may have become disillusioned and lost interest in nuclear power. Equally, influential sections of Indian corporate industry may be seeking an energy policy that gives more weightage to fossil fuel, especially America’s shale gas and oil. The Hindu newspaper reported today that Prime Minister Modi has plans to repeat his Madison Square Garden stage performance in New York (September 2014) sometime next month in Houston with a view to entice Big Oil and catch Donald Trump’s attention. The prognosis is that Texas is back as King of the oil world.

However, the real issue here is that India-Russia relations seem to be heading for a stressful period. There is sophistry in the Indian argument linking the setting up of Russian nuclear power plants with India’s NSG membership. It is incomprehensible why the NSG membership is so terribly important for India, and, secondly, why we should drag the cooperation with Russian into the impasse. Since this NSG membership bit was first put into our mind by our American friends, why don’t we seek the help of President Trump to persuade China?
The loss of business in the Indian market may not deal a mortal blow to Rosatom, but the fact remains that the overseas projects bring in big revenue for the Russian nuclear industry. Rosatom’s foreign portfolio of orders totaled $133 billion at the end of 2016, and export revenues in 2015 were $6.4 billion, up 20% from 2014. Rosatom’s goal is to gain 60% of its total revenue from exported goods and services by 2030, and half its reactor revenue from overseas projects in 2017. Early in 2016 Rosatom said that Russia’s GDP gained two roubles for every one rouble invested in building nuclear power plants abroad, as well as enhanced trade.

Contrary to the impression created in the Times of India report, India is not really Rosatom’s principal market. India has 2 of the seven operating Russian nuclear power plants worldwide, but none among the five Russian plants under construction at the moment. Two among the 14 contracted Russian power plants are in India (Kudankulam 3&4), and 2 among the 15 ordered (Kudankulam 5&6). But none among the 22 under negotiation is proposed to be in India. (World Nuclear Association) Nevertheless, energy cooperation is a major vector of India-Russia ties without which the overall relationship will look emaciated.

To my mind, it is bad diplomacy to predicate India’s relations with a friendly country to its equations with a third country with which India has a troubled relationship. The curious part is that India’s “muscular diplomacy” is selective. Will the Indian establishment apply similar logic to the US-Pakistan relations? Will India rein in its defence and security cooperation with the US unless the latter pressures Pakistan to fall in line with India’s expectations on the issue of terrorism? Of course not. Our genes tell us that we must always surrender to a superior force.
The yardstick in the present case should be whether Kudankulam 5 & 6 are possible to be implemented even if India continues to be outside the NSG. Russia apparently thinks it is possible. That being the case, the Indian alibi to freeze Kudankulam 5 & 6 does not make sense except as a sign of displeasure toward Russia’s foreign policies. It is an act of petulance.

And guess who's pleased by such moves! India's white masters.

India is still a Western colony, at least mentally they are.

Uh oh, Indians getting tough with Russia now. India finally looked in the mirror one day and recognized that all that talk of shining India or 'super power india' is all real. India is a real superpower ranger with superpower ambitions. If Russia does not fall in line, India will severely punish Russia with serious consequences (think 10s of billions worth of consequences). Superpower India is serious business.
