All Indians Should Be Ashamed
The so-called largest democracy in the world bear-hugs totalitarian Russia.
BFFs. Isn’t it sweet?
Indian Prime Minister Modi Narendra is an embarrassment to Indians all over the world. If this is something Indians fail to understand, then I say to them: Ni hao ma (how are you in Chinese)? It’s time for us to go big on buddying up with China and scare the hell of the worms in this image.
India has long been trying to straddle the fence to maintain beneficial ties with the West while kissing up to the serial killer Vladimir Putin. Fearing that Russia would become too close with India’s Asian rival China, Modi was at “his good friend’s” palace outside of Moscow for some tea and probably dried apricots (“kuragA” in Russian).
I’ll bet that Putin’s tea is traditionally made in the antique samovar heated by a fire beneath it and flavored with pine cones and other delectables from the forest. It is a truly magical way to enjoy tea and something I miss a lot. Many an evening at the dacha was rounded out by such tea, fruits, nuts, and unhurried conversation after a good steam in the bathhouse. Lucky you, Modi, but my nostalgia does not excuse that you are a piece of s*** for embracing the most murderous leader in the world.
