We do not associate with people because they are powerful. We love Russia because Russia is Russia.
It is very strange that so many Indians dislike Russia when Russia has gone out of its way to help them.
This is a lesson for us Pakistanis who may avoid imitating the polytheist (may God bless them and guide them also).
Even if our allies and friends are not nice to us we must be (and have been) utterly loyal forever and never bad mouth them even in our worst moments of suffering (may God/Allah SWT give us the strength).
We already adore Russia and we will be nicer to them than Russians are nice to each other and nicer to them than the greatest lovers of Russia. That is how we treat our friends and allies. For the US , the UK , EU and the west we shed our blood ! for Afghanistan we are still fighting! for the Saudis we have sacrificed our peoples, for the Somalis even (who are not our allies) we have risked our lives . For the Jordanians and Syrians and Arabs we have risked our lives. For the Turks is available our bodies and everything for we adore them. We love our allies because we love what is entirely good and fair and most high.
We will keep our friends and Russia too will now rejoice in our love. Mother Russia & God I hope forgives us for our sins and loves us and permits us to serve and love them.
May even our enemies say of us that we are civil, loving, honorable , beautiful, pacifist, kind, generous, good and fair so our God rejoices that His inheritance is worthy.
