      He is a dictator who the US govt & some EU govts are currently appeasing, by ignoring his ongoing genocide of Muslims and Christians in India. These appeasements have emboldened him to carry out religion-driven political assassinations in foreign soil. Modi uses systemic violence against religious minorities within India (& now outside) for his personal political ambition, as it makes him look like a Hindu strongman for his Hindu supremacst followers. His religious extremeism driven politics & dictatorship has enormous support among Indians living/ working/ studying outside India. Their voices are the loudest on social media and they support him and his religious extremeist political party monetarily, socially, and politically.

      The Atlantic has summed up the situation in its article https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/09/canada-nijjar-killing-india-trudeau-sikh/675383/

      The appeasement of dictators doesn’t work. They didnt work against Hitler, failed against Putin, and has turned countries into banana republics… But the leaders of the developed democratic west continue to be idiots who follow a failed script. They refuse to speak & act against dictators.

          Yes I agree one caused a war on lies and deception, the second caused the pushing of another regime to openly support the same terrorists it was covertly supporting initially, while the third was only racist.

        Well he’s slightly more. I mean, when the Pakistani government protested extrajudicial killings in their country by the Americans, the Americans didn’t whine and retaliate politically like little crybullies, they basically said “yeah we hellfired some terrorists in your ungovernable backcountry. Whaddayagonnadoaboudit eh?”

          Well that was Pakistan and it was US when is ever the world going to sanction US or is going to support a country supporting terrorists like it is doing now with India and Canada which is supporting a violent terrorist organisation that has caused frequent attacks on opposing journalists, politicians, places of worship, consulates; bombing of an aeroplane.

          Well not because America gives so many opportunities to do it. They get by so many atrocities that would get any other country sanctioned to oblivion.

          • Overthrowing governments
          • Starting wars under false pretexts
          • Genocide for commercial purposes

          The list could go on. America is not the example of a saintly country it projects itself to be.

          This is not whataboutism, I am just saying he is just as much an asshole as any other world leader. I also believe just like any other leaders mentioned by me he too should be prosecuted if allegations are proven. This even after knowing that the other world leaders won’t be touched even after having a lot of proof against them.

            When did Biden as a president overthrow a government? Start a war under false presences? Committed genocide? If you don’t fucking notice, the post is about Biden and Modi, not Bush or Obama.

            Modi compared to Biden is a complete fucking asshole and a psycho. Modern Indian foreign politics compared to modern US foreign politics is fucking insane.

            When you have to bring up shit that has nothing to do with a current topic, its whataboutism.

              The post is about Modi and Biden but my comment was in response to a comment saying Modi is an asshole, not a top comment.

              I am merely pointing out he is no more an asshole than any of the other world leaders.

              Modern US foreign politics is selling arms to Saudi Arabia who has killed a US journalist and who is using those arms to massacre Yemenis.
