This will fire back. India proofed to be only interested in itself and incapable to play a bigger role in international diplomacy. But I guess this is choosing the lesser evil to fight china…

India backed Armenia while it was being invaded so India is trying to play bigger role. While the European nation instead bought gas from Azerbaijan and Usa just made a statement of discontent without doing anything.

It does not work like that and it is not like we like to trust the US either, as they are in bed with Pakistan which makes them an unreliable ally.

When will Redditors start to realize that decision-making in diplomacy is not dependent on their personal opinions

At least they don't try to further self-interests in the guise of furthering international diplomacy, or transparently advocate for a non-diplomatic, violent approach. Assuming of course that the notion of India "only" interested in itself was true, and had it not given aid to AF, Ukraine and Sri Lanka going by recent memory alone.

In democracies opinions of the voters impact diplomacy as they grant the leaders their powers. That is not to say that arguing in Reddit makes any difference on anything, but opinions do matter and they can change things rapidly. For example prior of Feb Nato was a non-issue in Finland and majority of citizens either opposed it or considered it not relevant. That changed over night as the general sentiment changed and in just few months the application was sent.

I have no idea whether it is or not; it certainly is not the venue where the decisions are made. But given that in some cases the content reflects the populists rhetoric it may very well reflect it at least in some cases.

JPR_FI t1_iucua2w wrote
I have no idea what the case even is ? Point was just that opinion do matter and even with its flaws Reddit reflects some aspect of them.

You know what's not understandable, how most of Europe doesn't support Armenia and keeps funding Azerbaijani blood gas. There's an inconvenient truth for you to think about. Or not, because it goes against your narrative.

xdesi t1_iudveyz wrote
You are wrong on Russia's capability and motive, and on what you imagine is India's change in position.
First, on RF - I hope you were being sarcastic because your label of bad performance does not gel with RF taking out a third of Ukraine's power supply in a few days. On motive, R sees it as an existential threat and the US knows it but still decided to get Ukraine into NATO. See William Burns communication to Condoleeza Rice in 2008. And that was not surprising if you read George Kennan on expanding NATO. So, bottom line: there is no way Russia is walking back on this one.
India's position has been consistent. On China, India and the US are on the same side to a large extent. India is worried because it is next door to China, and the US is worried about losing its paramountcy in the coming decades. India has no reason to take sides between NATO and Russia, not least because NATO never aided India in thwarting Chinese aggression in areas China claims. So the US "aid" to India, rather generously assuming it to be real help is not because the US is concerned about democracy but about China dethroning it.
So, you should stop thinking of such India/US news as a change in Indian policy.

the foreign policy blob has never given a shit about what voters care about since they are a permanent civil service and think tank apparatus that operates largely without any public oversight whatsoever. while you saw daily meltdowns about uyghurs on reddit, 6% of democrats and 2% of republicans consider xinjiang a major issue with china

Let me get this straight. You want the US to help China to invade India because India (among many European countries) is buying oil from a country which is presently invading it's neighboring country?
Do you even know how crazy that sounds? Why not just attack Russia and cut the middleman? Oh wait you can't because nobody wants another world war.
Do you genuinely feed bad about a country getting invaded because similar attacks are happening in the middle east but the US is still buying oil from there. Otherwise, you are just a racist guy who doesn't care what happens to people with brown skin

The world should do something, it's immoral to do nothing and let innocents get hurt right but the world still won't do anything, China already gives you all the cheap things it is a manufacturing hub the west won't dare to sanction them same way as Russia. USA would care to an extent and give India weapons but only because China threatens their position as the top dog other than that India will have fend for itself as it has been doing for the past 75 years. Like it or not countries work in the intrest of their people not morals.
