India is more Western inclined than Eastern in my opinion..kind of sitting on the fence atm. India fell for the Russian trick of being supplied with cheap armoury which is why they are not fully pledged to sanctions against Russia. Cricket-mad? Chicken Tikka Masala? No brainer.

it’s only for show nothing serious

Everything to avoid probe in to his lies and everything to sell his arms

Boris Johnson full of it like India going to breakaway from BRICS!

Nothing to do with Russia. India has recently deregulated it's defence industry and everybody wants a piece. Any person who thinks the West cares about Russian aggression over profits lives in lala land.

There should no defence deals anywhere in the World. Defence deals mean war deals planned. There is no strategy for peace if there is strategy for defence in another word War

Nothing burger. Bozo Johnson is only there to get away from the heat back in the UK.

Are weapons the modern day currency?
