    This is the same transition that the West had on China a few years ago. When it becomes clear that you won’t become another puppet of the West and want to carve out your own interests, the West immediately flips on you.

      So you’d be chill with a bunch of white bogans moving to China then marching down the street while chanting crap about how they want a Christian nation? You’re fine with the USA assassinating foreigners who say stuff they dont like? Are you on board with the Bush/Trump era anti-islamic oppression?

        If India was weaker and more compliant with US demands, these stories wouldn’t be getting past the editor. You can look at coverage on China in the 2000-2015 period and compare it to today.

            India assassinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is a byproduct of knowing that Canada has burned all of its geopolitical relevance and that the US won’t come to Canada’s aid.

            Canada had built up a ton of goodwill in the past, but a good chunk of that was burned up aligning with the US in increasingly inane military operations.
