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.

Answer-

I feel sad that older Aussie's must feel that they are in a foreign prison with the care they get. Those with dementia must think they have been transported to India in their sleep. You can't expect people from other cultures to care about people from our culture. They are just opportunist's, but their opportunism relates to some of the most vulnerable people. Very concerning that the government is running multicultural experiments on people that are least likely to experience positive outcomes. So much for whatever the market will bear, politicians think that manipulating the market is so much more effective. Strange and usual punishment indeed.

To be fair I was saying that Indian's should fix India, and Chinese should fix China, rather than hiding long term in another land away from their territory, effectively homeless, or trying to take someone elses territory, and making them suffer the same regretable fate

To paraphrase WB Yeats: Australia is no place for old men.

ttbn- Continuing in the theme...

Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unageing intellect …

Hindu attitude to moslems goes way back to the 7th century when the
Arabs after they conquered Israel and Egypt and Nth Africa invaded
Persia and India. In their campaign there it is believed they tried
to kill all who refused Islam and killed 8 million Hindus.
A crime like that takes a long time to be forgotten.
Hence Pakistan & India tensions.
