From OpIndia (archived link)

In a new low of diplomacy, the Ukrainian advisor to the President of the war-hit country made bizarre claims about India and China in an interview that came days after the successful organization of the G20 summit in Delhi. Mykhailo Podolyak said, “What’s wrong with India, China, and so forth? The problem is that they are not analyzing the consequences of their steps, these countries have weak intellectual potential, unfortunately.”

Mykhailo Podolyak further said, “Yes, they invest in science. Yes, India has launched a lunar rover presently and is now trekking on the surface of the Moon, but that does not indicate that this country fully comprehends what the modern world is about.”

Low intellectual potential lol. Yet India knows that playing nice with the west to get its support and weapons is more than enough to keep China at bay without joining aggressive US military alliances and risk war

Although Cuba is much superior compared to Ukraine, it does remind me of how much Cuba flexed its muscles when it had the backing of the USSR. But after its fall, and everyone became too scared to support Cuba, they shifted their focus to survival and diplomacy. Looks like Ukraine is on its bravado arc after letting the Javelins and Abrams go to their head.

I do not see this happening tbh, Ukraine has shown it will keep fighting no matter how hopeless its situation

The two countries that were once invaded by more powerful enemies, then transformed to nuclear powers with front row seats to the world stage don’t understand anything about the modern world, unlike the once powerful Soviet republic that now gets couped, invaded, and manipulated by the CIA and FSB for decades

Ukrainian Embassy in Delhi stated that it was his personal opinion

Love when my personal advisor goes on national TV and spews his garbage, and suddenly he’s no longer a representative of my government

Podolyak accused Russian propaganda outlets of taking it out of context to distort the meaning

PUTLER MADE ME LOOK RACIST BY PUBLISHING A VIDEO WHERE I CALL A BUNCH OF ASIANS GENETICALLY STUPID!!

He defended his statements saying, yes China and India have regional geopolitical goals, but global geopolitics is more complex. Doesn’t address the “low intellectual potential” part though.

After the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany praised Bandera and justified his massacres, the Ukrainian government recalled him, apologized to Germany, Poland, and Israel, said the ambassador’s views didn’t reflect the government’s views, then promoted him in a high level domestic position

that does not indicate that this country fully comprehends what the modern world is about.

The modern world is all about dragging your entire country into a unceasing void of war and suffering!

modern, intellectual statecraft is when you lobby for your country to become the fuzzy squeak toy lobbed into the middle of an internationally televised dogfight.

who's fucking nephew is this horse's ass?

"Mykhailo quick, we're losing the support of the American people! Say something to get them back on our side (or at least sending untraceable money again)!"

I'm sure the countries with four or five thousand years of history are malding over being called dumb by a country that probably won't exist next year.

yea India should give up its long term ally because?

Like, USSR was the first country to recognize India's independence, months before it was made formal. USSR also provided aid to India in form of technology transfers and industrial development. Many of early heavy industrial projects in India were built with Soviet aid. The first Indian man went to space with the help of USSR as part of Interkosmos program.

Meanwhile the west has always considered India to be inferior and fucked the country over numerous times with structural adjustment programs.

I would say it is more depressing that India is getting closer to the U.S. against China. Its not going to end well for the working class of the country, though I'm sure the monopolists will benefit tremendously.

Says the guy from a country that is being sacrificed to put a few bruises on Russia, all for a few donuts from Nuland lol. Maybe he does know the game and is playing along, it's not the Ukrainian elites and their children being sent to the meat grinder, I'm sure when this war is over, these Ukrainian elites will have millions stored in offshore accounts
