Western propaganda is running on high cocaine levels now. They have banned all sources of news from Russia at the same time writing negative manipulate articles about it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Slave trade in the US is just the tip of the iceberg. Both Nazis and the British carried out horrific atrocities on North African populations, a lot of which is hardly talked about.


Also, the second Gulf War had very little to do with the 1991 Kuwait invasion.


My point was claiming all these atrocities find no place in history is flat out wrong. And I don't even get the idea in many ways. Is the Holocaust taught about in any significant way in India? From 1st hand info, I can tell you no. And why would it? There are other chapters form history which matter more to India. Each culture and civilization teaches what matters to it. The West teaches the Holocaust because it matters to them.


And btw... I went searching for Tiananmen protest pics yesterday. I needed them for commercial use, meaning to put on my blog. Surprise, surprise! None of the stock photo websites had pics! Imagine that! News media does, but I cannot use those. China has succeeded in erasing those images from being distributed.


Point is... West ignores some of these, America mostly doesn't. Then there are cultures which force people to pretend ir never happened.


With re: gulf war. 1st Gulf War was in response to Kuwait invasion. Saddam became an enemy of the West after that. So yes, Kuwait invasion had a lot to do with 2nd gulf War also.

Well, india wasn't directly with involved in anything related to the Holocaust. On the other hand, the West committed the atrocities on Africans. So the two aren't exactly the same, isn't it?


The first Gulf War occurred when Saddam went ahead with the Kuwait invasion after getting an assurance of neutrality from April Gillespie, the US Ambassador to Iraq. Later, the US flipped and turned against him. Also, the second Gulf War was mainly for Haliburton and Exxon interests. Apart from the fact that Iraq was thinking of stopping oil trade in US dollars.

In their defense that's what everybody in Ukraine thought


I heard that the local people believed that, they didn't expect this war at all at this time... They thougt there might be some skirmish in the border, that's all


Even Ukranian Gov downplayed the threat,..

The only learning from here is that in such cases one has to trust their own country's Embassy/Ministry of external affairs and no one else.

These students are so disgusting. The way they were talking, I felt like slapping them, especially the first guy. The Indian Government should have no obligation to save these morons. These kind of people should stay in Ukraine only.

Government is for the people, by the people. Not the other way round.

I don’t think anyone was expecting it to escalate so much. Infact , some believe even Russia wasn’t originally planning to go so far.


Dhruv explained how it played out regarding the Indian students.

Even if they didn't expect it to escalate, that's not the way to talk about a war like situation. Their tone and what they said was pathetic. They don't deserve to be pulled out from Ukraine. As simple as that. They behaved more like Ukrainians than Indians. A bunch of dumb, entitled, rich, spoilt brats. Indian students in Ukraine go there not through merit. But there are these paid offers by Ukraine that their rich parents pay for and get these fools to somehow graduate.

I wish they are shown this clip now and I want to see their faces, what they have to say now.
