Now that Russia is being heavily sanctioned, they may be forced to trade more in Indian Rupees, thereby pushing strongly in the direction of Soviet-era trade-relations. The Rupee trade came to an end with the collapse of the USSR (see ‘Requiem for Rupee Trade’ by R. G. Gidadhubli, 1992), following which, both countries effectively subordinated their economies
The Russian anti-war movement succeeded in ending their government’s role in WW1, paving the way for the Bolshevik revolution, and how were they repaid? With endless Western aggression in the form of foreign intervention, the Axis invasion that killed 27 million Soviet people, and NATO expansion to their borders over the past three decades.

Over the past year, the Ansarallah (Houthi) backed government of Yemen, based in the capital Sanaa (the Sanaa government), has advanced on all fronts, reaching the northern gates of the Saudi-coalition held garrison-town of Marib in March this year.
The Yemeni national resistance is rapidly consolidating control over Jizan province in Saudi occupied Arabia, and are now gunning for King Khalid airbase further north which was recently attacked by Yemeni drones.
There’s two possible ways of solving the Israel-Palestine conflict. Two-state solution.
