LOL the Russians sell us fighter jet engines and helicopters and these Indians want us to believe that AK's weren't sold. Stupid silly bastards.
Because India is on a roll on portray Pakistan as a menace to world peace and not just a problem for India?
Your India didn't do much of a splendid job at ICJ and on the 27th I can assure you. LOL at menace to world peace. Ask Donald Trump who is dying to see Imran Khan at the White House.
If your India really means what it says it should try blocking other more important Russian defence sales to Pakistan. Silly bastard.
LOL the Russians are playing these numbnut Indians like never before. Very easy to get these rapemaniacs excited LOL
The reality is, Russia (along with the West) always sees India as a hedge/balancer against China, no matter how good the relations between Moscow and Beijing are. All P4 countries are wary that China will one day become too powerful for them to contain. Therefore all of them all trying to prop up India. Russia envisions a multi-polar world where India would play a big part along with China (and itself, of course). Russia's biggest fear, besides NATO, is that China, with all of its economic and military might would be able to annex the resource-rich Siberia; or just buy it out, essentially turning Russia into its vassal state. Therefore, while Russia provides military hardware to China (to counter the US in SCS), it also provides India with same equipment in hopes that it would counter China. But we all know where most of India's military procurements end up i.e, near Pakistan's border. India, unlike Pakistan, pisses itself when thinking about fighting a much more powerful neighbor.
In short, Russia values its relations with India far more than it does with Pakistan. So forget about acquiring high-tech or offensive weaponry from Russia for a very long time. The only meaningful thing Pakistan can provide Russia is access to the Indian ocean via the Gwadar port. But for that, a peaceful and stable Afghanistan (under Pakistan's influence) is the key. And that's a tall order for a country that has been mired in conflict for nearly half a century.
Everyone is playing everyone.
You think this rule of propping up only applies to India? India has nothing on offer. In fact by admitting that China is a danger to the West you are already admitting Chinese superiority and Indian inferiority. After all, one only gets fearful of someone if a nation possesses the means to pose a serious challange. Secondly, India is not even a second fiddle, but only a pawn which certain countries abuse to their advantage to contain more powerful nations. Why else would the West trust a piss poor rapist nation like Hindustan that rapes white females at every opportunity it gets. Besides, where did it get the West/Russia with supposedly propping up India? LOL Today China is a bloody gigantic economic behemoth. Poems could be written to glorify Chinese magnificence.
What the Russians might be doing to China, the Chinese are also doing to Russia and others multiplied by a factor 10. Welcome to the world of realpolitiks. China didn't get this big and powerful by acting like a silent lamb. The best the West is achieving is by stoking more anger and resentment against China. That in turn is turning China more powerful and exceptionally vigilant. That's the power of a dragon. You cannot tame or contain a dragon. You can only piss it off more.
Wanna see what real clout looks like? Look at the West begging Islamic nations to condemn China LOL When the Western nations write a politically motivated letter at the UN to condemn so-called oppression against Chinese Muslims, the very next day many more Islamic countries write a letter in support of China. That is clout by virtue of power.
As for Pakistan Russia relations, we would rather have better than strenuous relations. This is already a massive win for Pakistan. Especially considering how Pakistan wrongfully sided with the West to unleash a Cold War against former USSR. To come back from such a non-existing and toxic state of relations to normalizing ties is nothing short of miraculous. We might not be getting S-400 or Su-35, but we are getting Russian jet engines, more economic trade and most importantly TRUST between both nations. That is good enough for Pakistan because China provides the rest anyway. Whatever India gets from Russia, China gets from Russia on a scale multiplied by 100. Pakistan is not missing out on anything.
