Indian Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan: The geopolitical importance of Russia will go down in the times to come. It is in spite of it being a nuclear power. The Wagner rebellion indicates the internal weakness and indicate what may lie in store for the future as far as Russia is concerned.

1. Is this just me, or did India just ditch russia !?

2. India talking smack! I love it!

3. Is he a florist on the side?

4. Maybe they finally realize sidiNg with the west is a Better option and the morally right option .. ussr past support for India isn’t worth continuing to side with Russian aggression. European stability is more important than closer ties with Russia..

5. India is making decisions that are best for India. Russian supplies them with cheap oil and weapons – both important given their own tensions with China and Pakistan. Maintaining the relationship works for both India and Russia in the short term. But neither are oblivious to the long term power dynamics they will be facing.

6. The world sees how cowardice Putler is, how weak he truly is. Flees every time there’s trouble led his military into a coup. Russia MoD is a circus 🎪..

7. While most weapons and equipments are Russian.
   The officer corps are trained in Western / Commonwealth style and they can see the actual linings on the ground and where the winds are blowing…
   Infact not just the officer corps but even some higher ranking bureaucrats can see it and are slowly slowly giving hints…
   Of course the local civilian and politicians rhetoric means it still won’t be out in the open so much for now..

8. Somebody’s pissed about the 36 month shipping delays on their orders

9. Those flowers should be on fire

10. Hard to understand him but ” the geopolitical importance of Russia will go down in the times to come” is in my opinion well and truly underway. It is good to hear a Indian Chief of Defence say it and reference the Wagner rebellion. This speech certainly will not be reported by that sickening Indian mouthpiece for Putin, the Hindustan Times.

11. His assessment is correct.

12. [removed]

13. So much for BRICKS

14. We landed on the moon…you didn’t, haha~

15. Casket with flowers, gr8. he came prepared.

16. Video conferencing from home while not wearing pants, just going stealth.

17. No point in using the words “Russia” and “future” together.

18. Well, Russia is an authoritarian fascist regime. It’s extremely fragile and dependent on the few ontop with all the power. This causes an incredibly inefficient, rigid, stupid government, military – rife with corruption and no tools to prevent or get rid of corruption since the regime cant handle any sort of opposition and therefor does not allow freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom pf assembly, journalism, independent and free trade unions – and no free elections. None dates, have the ability tp speak up about problems, inefficiencies and no way to put pressure the regime to deal with it.

19. Relying on autocratic totalitarian regimes for your weapons supply was always going to be a bad idea.

20. concerning “what may lie in store for the future as far as Russia is concerned” I think Russia is taking precautions.

21. Oh burn 🔥
