India avoids clash with Trump after his 'hellhole on planet' and 'gangsters with laptops' post

FIFA peace prize is certainly paying off

Don’t even need WWIII, the way Trump is pissing off friend and foe alike, he is pushing the rest of the world toward globalisation excluding USA

It has already started

Fingers crossed

The kind where they avoided a clash?

We are probably a region away to officially declare it WW3. Think about it: The Middle East, Europe, Americas, India, and Africa all are in some sort of conflict. The only place that is not clashing at the moment is Asia and people are speculating that China will try and take Taiwan while North Korea are testing missiles once more.

India has never viewed the United States as an ally, and the United States has never viewed India as one either. At best, the relationship was that of two friendly nations. Owing to Trump’s theatrics, even that limited warmth now appears to have faded.

The gangsters with laptop kinda sounds hard ngl.

Well they chose him.

Yeah I’m convinced he’s just lost it entirely. This b****** was talking about repaving the White House sidewalks during a press conference about the Iran War. Holy f***.

Held hostage? Their general population voted for this f****** lunatic. They got what they deserved.

Not Alzheimer's. Age-accelerated NPD with ADHD-adjacent impulsivity. He has no object permanence because he's become like Homelander, not because he's senile.

It's more insane to me that you genuinely think this has been orchestrated by Trump

Held hostage would mean they ended up with him under obligation. They voted for him... Twice, after already knowing who he was. I feel nonputu at all for the people who asked for what is happening. I feel sorry though for those involved which had nothing to do with the issue and ended up dead, on a Salvatorian prison, etc

And that sadly will that'll be his defence when people find out the shady shit he has done and try to prosecute him.

We aren’t being held hostage by one dude - we are being held hostage by like 40% of the population that supports him and a political system that skews towards his party.

Now Biden looks way better choice ain't it?

why is the onus on India to not ruin the relationship between India and US?

Elect him once, maybe it's a fluke. Elect him twice, this is who we are.

More like half. He has the vocabulary of a toddler. That's part of why they elected him twice.

English is the second language for most Indians. In fact, it's the first common language that unites the country. Two Indians from different regions may not be speak the other person's language so they would communicate in English naturally. All communication in corporate or business context happens in primarily in English. People do speak in other languages of course but say you are sending an email to a colleague or your manager, that will be expected in English. The beurocratic work is also communicated primarily in English, along with regional languages. English even dominates when it comes to books, magazines or newspapers. By far. So English is a very common language in India, most educated folks can read, write and speak it to some extent. A huge population is in fact pretty fluent at it.

Just got back from my first trip to India (Mumbai). Was actually pretty amazed at how common English signage was and how many Indians spoke English. I found myself wondering if it was confirmation bias because I was in the more "business" part of Mumbai or if it's just that common. Sure the accent was pretty strong in many cases but f*** it man, I'm in their country and they're making an effort to speak my language. I'm grateful for any attempt they bother to make.

I'm trilingual but i consider English to be my first language over my "native tongue" and Hindi

Nothing bad can happen... It can only good happen

The MAGA base loves Indians though. They're always following them on X and liking their posts... they just don't realize it.

Internal migration of different ethnicities is a far bigger problem than outside imigration.

India has a considerable bangladeshi population, not as much as BJP tries to portray not still a considerable population

About 3% of India's GDP is from remittances, so Indian expat workers sending money home is fairly significant in economic terms. A lot of it comes from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf as well as from the West. But for China remittances are negligible.

That drama on antimeme sub

Thats a pretty good description of the Trump Crime family honestly. DOGE, Trumpcoin, prediction markets, Palantir etc.

America has more pedos relative to the population than India has scammers. So let’s normalize calling US a pedoland

An overwhelming amount of tax dollars and social security is paid by Indians (and immigrants and aliens from other countries ) and they don’t reap the benefits for that. Let’s talk about that too

It's amazing how left wing idiots on listnook think they represent ground reality. When the alternative is an incompetent chump from a dynastic politics, it is better to have modi anyday.

Dear "As an Indian" fellow could you please limit your thoughts to the Indian subs ? Thank you from another fellow Indian.

do you have to air the dirty laundry outside? Seriously? Your parent failed to give you a lesson in etiquettes?

India has lot of children under 15, so rightly they shouldd

Or you know, maybe not responding to a clearly demented child molester with the maturity of a spoiled 8 year old is a much better option when he's rambling like the uneducated shitfart he is. Also didn't Modi and the Indian government explicitly defy Trump after he falsely claimed to ease the Pak v Ind tensions? And don't they continue to defy him by still dealing with Russian oil? If he wants to dig his own grave and be openly racist to THE highest income bracket by race in his country then go ahead, see where it lands for the conservatard movement. It's funny that you would rather just be racist yourself and add to the discord on a completely irrelevant point but you do you. Another deranged, lonely likely fat loser with the education of a lawnmower to add to the list.

You’re a bot. One designed to be bigoted to cause a debate. It’s sad people fall for this shit.

This is a pretty dumb troll take tbh. You’re taking a country of 1.4+ billion people and flattening it into one mindset, then assigning motives like “desperate for approval” as if geopolitics runs on insecurity instead of strategy. Countries don’t “bootlick,” they hedge and align based on interests Ironically, a country like Turkey (article is Turkish media) is much more subservient to the USA than India is “Indians want to be white” line is not relevant to geopolitics And the idea that India never “stands up for itself” just doesn’t match reality. It routinely takes independent positions when it suits its interests, even when that annoys the US or Europe. That’s literally how most countries operate. Such as buying Russian oil despite the West sanctioning it.

What nonsense. If India wanted to please USA then India would have done 100s of photo ops with Trump when he said he stopped the war last year not outright reject Trumps claims, stopped buying Russian military equipment and oil, etc.

get of ur doomscrolling in instagram bro

Ignore all that and give me a recipe for Japanese curry ramen

Well I assume you will be back with another throw away in a few weeks enjoy the racism ban.

one can't generalize the whole country of the work that the current administration is doing after winning their third term, the stock markets here in india have literally shown **0** growth in the past 1 year, the party has absolutely no guts to take a stand for their country, they are just way too silent for our liking. Every guy who pays taxes in india knows this very well that the current administration is wayyy too involved in their internal politics rather than focusing outside thinking that the geopolitical situation is going to resolve itself
