If India wants to 'play' with those countries, it takes it chance, but they should not be surprised if there are consequences. There are consequences for Germany with respect to its commitment to Russia. Caveat emptor.
The USA invades and, for all intent and purposes, annexes other countries and yet you expect others to hold and value our currency?

We really need to pull the plank out of our own eye before pointing out the splinter in the eye of another.

I rank the USA leadership up there with Putin when it comes to corruption and egoism.
Are you kidding me? No one way is our government as bad as Russia's. No way.

Biden admin threatens response if China militarizes Solomon Islands

President Joe Biden’s administration on Friday threatened to “respond accordingly” if China establishes a permanent military base in the Solomon Islands after the two nations signed a security agreement last month that will allow China to maintain armed police and resupply its visiting warships.

“If steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power-projection capabilities, or a military installation, the delegation noted that the United States would then have significant concerns and respond accordingly,” the White House said in a statement on Friday.

That's playing with fire on Putin's part.

In peacetime, our government was more corrupt and egotistic than Russia's. But since Russia appears to be entering a crisis war earlier than we are, the equation is now rapidly changing.

You have never been to Russia or anywhere else by the ignorance of this statement. You are blessed to live in the US. You would not survive living in the places I have had to live. Now all you need to do is grow up.

Um, no. You obviously don't know what you're talking about here. While there certainly is corruption in the US government, it is nothing like Russia where you have to support the government to avoid being murdered. The crisis in Russia isn't the people, it's Putin and his ego.

Please stop saying dumb things.

A Crisis Generation is just that, an entire generation; not just one person. You haven't learned from John's lessons on Generational Dynamics.
