Picking allies

According to Alexey Muraviev of ‘Strategic Policy Analysis’, India has given Russia the ability to deploy forces on Australia's doorstep.

India has been grasped as an ally by the Albanese government in defence (of all things!), education for their students, and preferential immigration opportunities for its people.

India temporarily veered towards Russia after the Raj folded. They backed off for economic reasons, but they have retained a long-standing relationship with Russia, seemingly unnoticed by the Albanese regime.

Now, they have made 29 agreements worth $US100 billion with Russia, including some military ones that could threaten Australia, including visa relaxations and Russia's ambition for a “long-term” anchorage in the Indian Ocean.

A ‘Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Support’ agreement ratified on 3rd. December, allows Russia access to India's defence structure and bases.

Russia can now “extend their strategic reach to Australia's maritime theatre”.

India already has a permanent foothold in Australia ! The real question is are they currently partnering with Islam or not, they do however have the same goal !

Indyvidual,

Hindus are not going to partner with Muslims; PM Modi is known for giving Muslims a hard time in India itself.

Indians in general are all out for themselves only.

India seems to be a very fragmented balkanized society. But they have strong families at least. If they can get their population under control and separate the different ethnic groups into their own territories they might be able to slowly become more stable.

China seems on the other hand to be full of slave drones. Perhaps caused by the cultural revolution. It's not fragmented like India but it's seems somewhat souless.

Indyvidual,

I would prefer no migrants, or just those we absolutely need. I would prefer those migrants to be Anglo and European; those with the same values we have. Asians, Middle Easterners etc are not those people. I have nothing against them, but I prefer them in their own country.

CM,

Try having a conversation with most Indian immigrants. The English they have is barely understandable; their English went out the door with the Raj, and their accents are very guttural. Not all. But certainly the bulk of them, who have to work with deaf old people in domestic care jobs, taxis etc. I'm a deaf old person, and I hope to drop off the perch before I'm too feeble to look after myself and have to rely on Indians. I will say that there are plenty of nice, friendly Indians, but for practical purposes they are not much use.
