So much for the sacredness of life. Just another classist sell-out.

Wow! Companies have literally no qualms selling stuff like this to Russia while Russia is actively invading another country? That’s some legit scum right there.

On the one side the country faces huge unemployment, poverty now Western goverments want them to stop doing business as well

^ "Doing business" is not the same thing as smuggling...

In a roundabout way you're basically saying it's ok for Russia to invade whoever they wish and we should support them

I'm so shocked! I mean, it's not like India is a member of BRICS or anything... Oh wait, is that what the I in BRICS is for...

What a loaded BS statement. Empowering a country that’s actively invading and murdering their neighbors is not what decent people consider “doing business”.

I actually thought the BRICS arrangement kinda went away as terrible as Brazil and SA are doing economically. Are China willing to prop up all these failing economies up to keep BRICS going?

It's still a thing. India and Brazil opted out of China's belt and road program, but BRICS has actually expanded a bit this year with Iran, Ethiopia, UAE and Egypt joining. Saudi Arabia has yet to make a decision on joining but is in the mix.

Good, the western sanctions are stupid.

It isn't like the US has invaded other countries/assassinated their leaders/failed at assassinating their leaders and other countries still traded with the US.

The unemployed and impoverished didn't benefit from these shady deals.

Smuggling is our business.

Lol, I wonder how these shipments passed the Indian customs check. Oh wait, they don't care about exports XD

Relying on the USD was what crashed these economies in the first place.

Time to put sanctions on Indian and Malaysian companies. Imagine if they go whole hog and ban import of Indian workers or even better outsourcing to India. PM Modi proves he prefers hard cash to living people but not surprising considering the how elitism in India through the cast system works and the elites look down at common folk as expendable slaves.

 

[Kondamin]

What a surprise, never in the history of the world has something like this happen.

SR 71 blackbird goes woosh

Bringing this to a close folks. As a reminder, our focus is tech, not political banter.

Thank you.
