I decided to delete some of the more inflammatory replies prompted by the original (off topic, flawed and misconstrued) instigations and assertions....which will remain up so as to provide context for how the whole flare-up started.
There is sufficient material left untouched in convo chain...
OK man, this is going off topic into TR politics. I'm just saying lot of people dont understand Indian system....and lot of people don't understand Turkish one either.
So there is misunderstanding in applying one to another and trying to rank it.
Anything I will say contrary to this will be "western propaganda".
Or the whole HDP = front for PKK will come out (in fact it already has from lool). i.e any HDP person saying something different to what you just said is some agent or agenda merchant I guess right? (Defeating whole purpose of...

Should have just challenged the different contexts rather than throwing in another asserted equivalency to the mix...
Your argument is also quite flawed here....maybe Joe or another will get into more detail for it.

We all have a rush of blood to the head from time to time in heated conversations (especially ones such as war)....it happens.
But bringing the (foreign to the context) person's country's domestic human rights issue...because he has a different perspective on the original topic (however...
The above 3 replies and this one (and any more that do quote them after this) should be moved to the indian coffee thread @MisterLike et al.
They are off topic to begin with (and will snowball to more off topic stuff) and also contain an immense amount of falsehood + bias to unpack further...
Yah word on street is its downselected to Rafale vs Gripen now for that.

I hope India goes for another Rafale order of 36 more (if something production wise can be worked out and leveraged well with French)....let us...
BTW, don't know if you saw but the paralymics head was censored by China (CCTV coverage) when he started his opening speech by calling for peace in UKR-RUS conflict.
To give an idea of the continued major brazen backing to russian narrative (domestically)...given the inertia built up in CCP for...

On further reading of the lend-lease corridor particulars for the (~ 50% of total chain) route : US ---> Vladivostok ----> Trans siberian railway etc, some matters of further interest surfaced.
