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.
