The challenges for Indian students pursuing medical degrees in war-torn Ukraine show no signs of abating, as they grapple with increasing hostility from sections of the local population, who perceive India as supporting Russia in the ongoing conflict. The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

    FYI: OP is a tankie who just spams any news he can find to discourage people from supporting Ukraine in the war.

      What does that have to do with the content of the article?

        Some things need more context than a single article. In this case, the context is several articles being posted by a person with an agenda. This knowledge may change some people’s perception of the article.

            I counted at least 9 specifically about Ukraine in just the last 3 days, not counting cross-posts.

                … And improve your reading comprehension. I don’t feel like repeating myself.

                  Maybe stop attacking persons just because you lack any arguments. You don’t seem very patient - maybe take a break?

        Yes, this is what you should take away from my comment. Congratulations, you’re the smartest man alive.

          The point is OP did not write or invent the articles linked. So it doesn’t matter who OP is, whether a tankie or not, we could go straight to the news article and ignore the tankie. You just belittled the racism happening to Indian citizens just because the bearer of the news is opposed to your political belief.

            Knowing that OP is skewing the narrative by flooding the space with articles supporting one narrative is important and cannot be ignored.

            Some contexts go further than the immediate article and no one is asking anyone to ignore what’s written in the article. Rather, what is asked is to be aware that many articles today were posted to support a certain narrative.

            Some people today might end their day thinking ‘boy, Ukraine has been doing a lot of bad things lately’, when the bad things were specifically cherry-picked for their feed.

            Indian people and their plight are being used for OP’s own agenda and pointing this out does not discredit anything that might be happening to them, nor does it mean that it’s not important, as was being suggested.

              Usually what we do is post counter articles, or articles that widen the picture see everybody sees the whole. Not attack the character of the person.

              So why don’t you inform us by using similar articles, that way we can judge on our own if OPs words are noteworthy or trash.

                That’s not at all “what we usually do”. Most people don’t have time to cherry pick articles and post them to “widen the picture”, nor should they.

                Context is important and so is being aware of bad actors trying to alter public perception.

                You’re trying to skew this into something that’s wrong, but it’s not.

            Let me know when you can identify where the simping and virtue signaling happened.

        The argument of deliberately misunderstanding the context and meaning of a comment is indefensible…?
        Or do you mean to suggest that we should completely ignore when someone is cherry-picking news to fit an agenda and spread anti-Ukraine sentiment?

        Because I’d have no problem with this news article being posted, if this same person didn’t post several other very specific articles today.

        The intellectual obsession with logical fallacies was a mistake, and you are a living proof why. People are not perfectly objective robots with infinite capacity for information processing, attention and critical thought. Caring about bad actors, and taking everything they post in the context of them being bad actors, is not an intellectual deficiency. It is a precondition for sanity.
