Hitler sent to extermination camps the nazi defined racially inferior Slavs, gypsies, Jews, homosexuals and dissidents. Black pows ( French and American) were sent for summary execution . Stalin was a Slav himself, and due to paranoia and German intelligence work showcasing competent Soviet generals and leaders as traitors, sent them to concentration camps. Most of his purges were due to paranoia and fear of traitors and spies. Stalin's purges was mainly due to his lack of education ,which Trotsky had pointed out, and poor judgement on his part with respect to character. Stalin was sympathetic to the anti-colonial movements in Asia, Africa and South America due to his communist conditioning. His approach to race was dictated by Marxist ideology, which framed racial issues through the lens of class conflict, identifying capitalism and Western imperialism as the source of racial exploitation. The Soviet Union under his rule officially promoted anti-racist rhetoric and provided support to international anti-colonial movements. Obviously since Asia, Africa and latin america constitute over 80% of humanity and benefitted from communist support with respect to their independence and development, Stalin cannot be put in the same league as Hitler as a tyrant.

Geopolitical writer and commentator Arnaud Bertrand has praised India for its political courage which EU lacks, as per his perception. He also praised India for upgrading its diplomatic ties with China. https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/india/story/modi-has-the-political-courage-europe-lacks-entrepreneur-says-eu-lacks-will-courage-shame-for-giving-in-to-trumps-demands-490405-2025-08-21

The soviets had diplomatic and economic treaties with the germans in the beginning of the war and adhered to them for the sake of appeasement, similar to the other western allies. Soviet invasion of poland was not brutal as that of the german invasion which saw the poles as racially inferior Slavs and hence subject to total extermination. The soviets created a communist system and administration amongst communist poland , abolished private property and was even welcomed by the jews and other non-poles finding them better than the germans. Soviet invasion of parts of finland was due to appropriation of territory which they felt was necessary for their security. I am not justifying them but they were following a pattern of aggresson as shown by the european colonial powers themselves, including the americans who had themselves invaded Canada and mexico and other central and south american countries. If Brics coalesces into a military alliance, then nato can forget about russia. Both india and China have the two largest armies on earth with nearly exhaustible manpower and resources at their disposal. This is true. A nuclear war and holocaust can wipe out the US, Russia and Europe from existence and make them a nightmarish radioactive landscape of them forever. The two world wars which similarly originated in europe had similarly come out of military alliances. But the stakes are high this time around, due to the potential use of nuclear weapons which can wipe out millions in the blink of an eye. If you are admitting to corruption in nato based leadership, running parallel to the statistically proven heavy corruption in Ukraine as well ,then obviously it is not correct to state that nato is championing incorruptible democratic standards and values while Russia is not. Former president Jimmy Carter has also lamented about the US becoming an oligarchy as well. The west obviously has to get its own governance standards right before it can throw stones at others.

I think what you mean to say is that the Russians ended the dictatorships of Napoleon and Hitler and freed Europe of Nazi tyranny. As long as they were doing the heroic stuff , Russians were the golden boys with the rest of the europeans being enthusiastic cheer leaders. But after they get the job done, the rest of the europeans descend to complaining and nagging. The whole of EU gdp in 2024 is equivalent to the Chinese GDP alone itself, forget about the rest of the BRICS members. All the brics members are growing economically at a fast pace, especialy India and Brazil. India itself is projected to have a GDP of $34.2 trillion by 2038, which would make it the world's second-largest economy in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This growth is expected to be driven by factors such as a young population, strong domestic demand, and ongoing structural reforms. Europe is ageing with low fertility rates, and its constant warmongering is the reason why european authorities are liberal with immigration from Asia and Africa in order to replace the native manpower lost in ageing and low fertility, war and conflicts. This is also important to ensure the economy is not deralied by manpower shortages. You mean to say that EU and Israel due to money power can pocket America. But wouldn't this be an admission of plutocracy and bribery on their part itself which is contradictory to democratic principles ?

The Americans and Europeans happen to be the largest groups of trophy hunters of endangered animals, and it is important to create awareness programmes on the importance of animal welfare and ecological conservation of nature. Interestingly, the FBI considers cruelty to animals as part of the Macdonald criteria, which determines the propensity amongst children for violent tendencies and future serial offenses. https://www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/europes-largest-hunting-fair-opens-despite-dangers-faced-wildlife-worldwide

Would that also accomodate western exploitative colonialism in Asia, Africa and south america and the atrocities committed over there ! Racism against Africans is still well-instituted in the west, and communists under Marx had supported Lincoln in the american civil war for the freedom of the African laborers and in the civil rights movement for the political empowerment of the underprivileged and downtrodden blacks in the USA , as well as against apartheid in south africa. The US on the other hand designated the Nobel peace prize winning Nelson Mandela as a terrorist until 2008. This is one of the reasons why the African union is mainly supporting Russia in the present conflict. alongside most countries in Asia and South america. Do keep in mind that Nato countries including the US represents only 12% of the world population.

Nazi Germany and Austria was part of western europe. You cannot state that they were not part of the west. Anti-semitism was rampant in the west including the US at one time. Also . Romania allied with Nazi Germany during World War II. Romanian leader Ion Antonescu was a fascist dictator and an enthusiastic proponent of the Holocaust. I have read of Romanian soldiers taking part in the nazi invasions of the eastern slav nations and took part in the anti-slav/jewish extermination campaign. They were not part of western countries opposing nazism. After the Russians defeated the Nazis and advanced to Berlin triumphantly, the Romanians quickly switched allegiance to the western allied powers including Russia, which were hitherto their enemies, and proclaimed the losing nazis and fascists as their new enemies. For his role in the allegiance shift to the Russians and western allies , Romanian King Michael was awarded the Soviet "Order of Victory" by Stalin.

Russia and China are not selling their governance models to other countries here, but spending money to sway elections so that pro-russian and pro-chinese leaders are installed. This maybe wrong, but it is still superior to the western practice of installing military dictators in south america under operation condor to remove democratically elected governments that instituted mass and poor-friendly policies which were not aligned with the exploitative policies (leading to high profits) of western companies operating there.

The Chinese and Russians were not interested in exporting their governance models to the west. They were interested mainly in building up their economies. Russia was a part of G8 till its protests over nato expansion (ignoring promises made to Gorbachev and Yeltsin ) made the west-centric G7 chuck them out. The Russians went on to create BRICS which is superior to G7 in terms of GDP and population coverage. The two world wars, created on the basis of military alliances originated in europe, killing over a hundred million people and which continues to traumatize europe at present. The Nazis saw the Eastern european Slavs racially as subhumans and attempted to exterminate them with horrific atrocities till the Russians put an end to the Slav genocide which killed 25 milion Slavs as well as the Jewish genocide which killed six million jews. Even social metrics like rising numbers of homelesness, deaths due to hypothermia due to rising fuel prices, higher cost of living,spiralling healthcare costs, poverty , terrorist attacks, mass shootings, rising disparity of wealth between the western upper and lower classes shows that it is only a few of the sheltered wealthy and rich that lead a materially prosperous life in the west. The third world war which can result in nuclear war and holocaust can turn the US, Europe and Russia into a nightmarish radioactive wasteland forever. If you think this is a heaven on earth, you are seriously deluded.

A report has linked european trophy hunters to more than 80% of cheetah deaths around the world. https://the-european.eu/story-46267/exclusive-european-trophy-hunters-linked-to-more-than-80-of-global-cheetah-kills-report-warns.html

The west have only gained in wealth recently due to the industrial revolution and exploitative colonialism . For milleniums, India and China were the leading world economies as per economic historians due to their high productivity and trade till they were reduced to penury by western colonialism . They have now emerged as fast growing economies, and India is now projected to become the second largest economy in PPP terms by 2038, with a projected GDP of $34.2 trillion. In the west, its the minority capitalists who own much of the wealth and the majority lacks the same, with inflation, homelessness and rising health care costs and cost of living among the main concerns. Also fixation with wealth and power and competition over colonies lead to the two world wars in europe which killed scores of millions of europeans and continues to traumatise them. The western standard of prosperity, with a rich man owning mansions, private jets and fleets of cars is not practical for the rest of the world to aspire to , considering the havoc already perpetrated on the fragile environment leading to global warming and natural disasters on an amplified scale which can lead to major disasters and catastrophies in the future. As GAndhi himself stated, " Earth has enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed." So obviously a standard of prosperity which is compatible and friendly to the environment and society, and is holistic in nature, should be aspired to, rather than the present lopsided one.

Caste system in India is a feudal system similar to that in Europe, Japan and Korea. (Even now, European aristocrats tend to keep themselves distinct from the commoners and marry among themselves as a rule and pride themselves on their blue blood and breeding.) Also many european countries have a hereditary king or queen as head of state like the UK, which reflects the feudal past, unlike republican India. The US which came into existence two centuries back was populated by poor immigrants of the european lower classes escaping tyrannical feudalism and exploitative capitalism in europe , and is consequently looked down upon by the european aristocratic classes as well. The european-americans in turn, themselves looked down upon the African-americans languishing under slavery around them, even though both groups were christians and equal under constitutional laws. Many african-americans were lynched for superficial reasons or mere allegations. The caste system has no sanction in the Vedas, the original Hindu scriptures which preaches the equality and fraternity of all human beings. Majority of the Vedic sages came from the lower economic groups or professions . The Vedic sage, Satyakama Jabala, who composed portions of the Vedas, was the illegitimate son of a prostitute. He was taken as a disciple by his Guru on account of his character and honesty which the Guru perceived as signs of merit even though he was of illegitimate lineage. This shows that a meritocratic structure existed in earlier vedic times. The caste system came up later on as a social system, in order to preserve, consolidate and develop knowledge systems of each profession. Universities were not wide-spread in ancient times, and it was easier for the father to teach his sons and nephews the technical details of his profession. This enabled a certain specialisation of disciplines and consolidation of culture. For example, mathematics as in the numeral system, zero and basic mathematics used around the world commonly were developed in India. However, an unfortunate side-effect of this was that higher castes adopted snobbish superiority complexes with respect to the lower castes. This is entirely out of ignorance of the basic teachings of equality and fraternity in the Vedas. I am not an advocate of the caste system as it is obviously obsolete in today's world, but it had its relevance in ancient times as a practical system. In todays world however, you can choose any profession, and the best universities in the world teaching that course by virtue of enhanced transportation and logistics. At present the caste system is considered obsolete in the Indian constitution designed by B.R. Ambekar who stemmed from the lower castes, and many of the lower castes have quotas in education and employment under the public sector which has helped to develop the community exponentially. Both the present prime minister and president of India have rose from the lower castes which shows the progress India has made in this regard.

The 9 day religious festival of Navratri is taking place in India at the moment, where the Divine is worshipped in the form of the Goddess . On the eighth day of Navaratri or Durga Ashtami, the rite of Kumari Bhojan takes place. Nine or more young girls are invited to the house by devotees and are honoured as manifestations of the mother goddess. The girls are fed a delicious vegetarian meal, and then given money,flowers and gifts so as to ensure they are happy, and consequently give positive vibes and energies which are considered auspicious. Shaktism is the tradition in Hinduism associated with the worship of the Goddess, with Shakti meaning universal power or energy. Sri Ramakrishna was an enlightened sage and worshipper of the Divine Feminine. Some sayings of his are stated over here in reference to the Divine Feminine so as to understand the core teachings of Shaktism. Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna on the Divine Mother...

Yes, it is the large number of wars between europeans that resulted in the european population never crossing the five hundred million mark unlike the ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations which had crossed the billion mark. New weapons of war like artillery, tanks, chemical weapons were first used by the europeans on themselves. It is the Russians who ended the dictatorships of Napoleon and Hitler. The Russians are europeans themselves in terms of race, religion and culture, and I found many Russian tourists in India speaking fluent english and quite indistinguishable from western tourists. They seem to resemble the Nordic europeans the most due to their blonde looks and large stature. However since the europeans want to have a dualistic perspective with respect to russia, they thus consider them as separate so as to foster hatred against them for the sake of enmity. For hatred to exist, there should be a dualistic perspective. It is hard to hate someone who is the same as yourself so you need to brainstorm and find some differences, no matter how superficial. During the times when Russia was necessary to fight against the French and German dictatorships, the west fondly considered the Russians as their own people. The German Nazis were quite barbaric in their attitude towards eastern europeans as they racially considered the Slav as subhuman and inferior. This is the reason why then embarked on an extermination programe from Poland onwards to Ukraine and finally Russia . Usually when invaders conquer a region, they leave the civilian population alone to gain resources and taxes from them. The German nazis did no such thing and ruthlessly wiped out the poles, ukrainians and russians to ensure living space or lebensraum for German immigrants there. This resulted in the Slav genocide where over 25 million eastern european slavs were killed just because they were considered racially inferior. This is four times that of the Jewish genocide. However the Russian counter-attack from Stalingrad all the way to Berlin ensured that the Slavic race and Jews were not completely wiped out.
