In a new low of diplomacy, the Ukrainian advisor to the President of the war-hit country made bizarre claims about India and China in an interview that came days after the successful organization of the G20 summit in Delhi. Mykhailo Podolyak said, “What’s wrong with India, China, and so forth? The problem is that they are not analyzing the consequences of their steps, these countries have weak intellectual potential, unfortunately.”

Mykhailo Podolyak further said, “Yes, they invest in science. Yes, India has launched a lunar rover presently and is now trekking on the surface of the Moon, but that does not indicate that this country fully comprehends what the modern world is about.”

    yea India should give up its long term ally because?

    Like, USSR was the first country to recognize India’s independence, months before it was made formal. USSR also provided aid to India in form of technology transfers and industrial development. Many of early heavy industrial projects in India were built with Soviet aid. The first Indian man went to space with the help of USSR as part of Interkosmos program.

    Meanwhile the west has always considered India to be inferior and fucked the country over numerous times with structural adjustment programs.

    I would say it is more depressing that India is getting closer to the U.S. against China. Its not going to end well for the working class of the country, though I’m sure the monopolists will benefit tremendously.
