I don't know why you care so specifically about Blind. Is it because they're not in full psychosis-induced cancel-mode?

There's support everywhere for NOT collectively punishing the Russian people, and Russians in general, inside or outside of Russia. Leave the innocent people out of this.

I think the India and Russia have historically had good relations.

And in particular in this conflict. Indian media has been going after Ukraine hard for racism based on some incidents at borders and has taken a lot of Russian propaganda at face value about Indians being held in cities as human shields. I think Indian media generally is very friendly to Modi and this has been to justify his stance. Somewhat related, this clip of an Indian host berating his Ukrainian guest is hilarious https://youtu.be/qK9mcp_hDxQ

weird thing is Indian and China hates each other, why if they both like Russia?

It is reasonable for A and B to not like each other, yet both A and B favor C. The moment we reduce reasonableness to consistency, we run into issues. That's why we have judges, courts, etc; otherwise, just an algorithm would solve problems.

I don't support Russia at all and condemn the invasion, but I am critical of those that blindly trust current media as we have seen such narratives around other wars.

You can only speculate about the motivation about coinbase. They might be forced to comply with sanctions or face strict regulation.

Economic sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine. McDonald's, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc all shut down their Russian operations.
