Yeah, China isn’t going to side with the US/EU, and the rest of the Asian countries are too small to matter, including Japan/Korea.

In fact, China has stepped up their efforts to aid Russia.

The next few weeks will be history in the making. Pay attention.



India are far from small, bu they did not condemn Russia.


Yeah I actually have no idea where India stands geopolitically and I had totally forgotten their considerable impact. I wonder how their government views these events?


They did not condemn it but they also did not signal support like China did - I suspect Modi expected Putin to stop at Donbas and sees his best option right now as a ceasefire, which is what he's openly asked for as well.

Unlike Russia's allies other than China, India cannot afford to be shut out of the US and supported by Russia, and unlike China, Europe and the US can impose fairly strict sanctions on India in the short-term.


Are Russia and India tight?


Unknown but India and China are most definitely not tight
