I speak to Indian expat colleagues here in Germany and they are all against the anti-Russian politics, against the sanctions, pro-Modi in a very differentiated way.

I speak to Chinese and Taiwanese colleagues, also to South Korean colleagues. All are against the Western-led anti-Russia war.

We are in a bubble here. A huge bubble and we believe that we are the only right people with the only right opinion.

> All are against the Western-led anti-Russia war.

Do they support Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

What did Russia think Europe and the US were going to do? Russia seems to have gambled on the idea that Europe and the US would let the invasion happen unimpeded. It turns out Russia was wrong about that.

Russia also seems to have been wrong about the effectiveness of their own forces and the resistance they would face from Ukrainians.

Isn't the simple solution here for Russia withdraw from Ukraine, pay reparations, help with the extradition of those soldiers who have committed war crimes, and work on restoring international relations?

>Western-led anti-Russia war.

I would too. But that is not what is happening, instead we have Russian-led war against Ukraine.

> the Western-led anti-Russia war

Russia invaded neighboring sovereign nation with the goal of annexing the territory. Dichotomy is simple: If you want to live in a world where this is okay, you can support Russia.

[midislack]

It's not necessary to support either side. India's neutral for now...

[bsaul]

i think you must be confused. The only real war happening right now is led by russia on the ukrainian territory.

What the west is doing is taking anti-war measures to actually make it stop.

[sschueller]

But the west is not doing anything other than supplying an endless supply of weapons. This is not anti-war. It's pro war on the side of Ukraine. At this point it looks like it will go on indefinitely. Where will we be in 10 in years?

Anti-war is to do everything to stop the war specifically diplomacy and talking to the enemy. Making deals, even if the enemy is an absolute psychopath.

[sidibe]

Have you considered your colleagues are going to agree with their colleague's obviously strong political views just to avoid any hassle?

I do think Chinese and Indian media are largely pushing the same narratives as you and Russia, but polling colleagues about politics isn't going to be very accurate

[mlindner]

Why would you say that we're the ones in the bubble? Isn't it those other countries that are the bubbles?
