He was being racist against the geopolitical enemy, which is fine and normal, but did he consider that he might accidentally have been racist against people on his own side of the border as well? This is unforgivable.

motherfucker you're on BRICS, who the fuck are you trying to impress by shooting yourself on the foot with the gun that makes you racist

I don't think he forgot.

“Y'all know how bad this place be smellin”

Losing Rafale fighter jets must be a huge embarrassment for Modi. After the 2019 flare up, where an Indian mig-21 pilot was shot down, captured, paraded and then returned back to India. Modi made a public speech and he said "If we had Rafales this would not have happened!". Well, 2025 and 3 of his $250+ million Rafales got shot down by Pakistan's Chinese J-10CE.

Saw a thing on RT talking about Russia wanting to restart RIC (Russia, India, China) and yeah that's not happening. There are structural reasons too for that like the greed of Indian capitalists and the fact to really sate that they want to destroy China's role as a world manufacturing hub and take it for themselves with all the attendant profit. Hence all these kinds of boycotts and anti-Chinese products rhetoric and protectionist measures. They're not interested in trying to do Juche so for them to grow stronger they need China to grow weaker. It's very zero sum to them regardless of on the ground supply chain situations that go back to China at present.

To me India remains the odd child in BRICS. They have massive religious and capitalist driven inequality (caste system and capitalism), they started in a similar spot post colonialism as China yet are much further behind because they're not run by a communist party, they have religious extremists in power and nuclear weapons pointed at a segregated religious-ethnic state of Pakistan which exists as a result of a religious split. They buy all kinds of military stuff from the west but also Russia. They're only kind of held to BRICS by their traditional fondness for the USSR.

Compare to China, we already know the situation there and it's good. Compare to Russia which is former USSR, lots of problems, growing reaction but also a kind of Soviet-drawn pragmatism to world affairs. Also they unlike India have finally been burned enough by the west's duplicity to kind of understand who they are and why they must be with China and BRICS over the west. India still have I believe delusions of being accepted by the west and integrating, things which the west actively encourages for now as they did with Russians in the 90s. Unlike Russia though India poses no threat of domination over any place they care about (Europe in Russia's case) so there's no reason for the west to turn on or attempt to hem them in with a NATO type structure unlike Russia.

South Africa obviously is a state with issues but it did free itself from Apartheid and has revolutionary communists not that far from the levers of power as well as very recent educating experiences on racism and western complicity that leaves them less amenable to hurting other BRICS members.

Brazil I can't say much about here I suppose. But within the context of at least RICS, India is and will remain the problem country, the one most likely to hurt other members, to believe in the west's lies, to for selfish reasons seek to engineer pain for China out of a belief it benefits.

Epicanthic folds are distinctive and elegant! End of story.
