    Ah yes, an aspirational dictatorship admiring another dictatorship. India has managed to jail members of opposition parties, just like Russia did.

    They claim corruption, which may be true; but there is evidence of corruption within the ruling party too.

      Not admiring. It’s just “tit for tat” and strategic diplomacy. And positioning is likely to be same irrespective of party in power.

      False, and also reductio ad putinum.

      They claim corruption, which may be true; but there is evidence of corruption within the ruling party to

      Whataboutism.

      Better luck next time.
