1. It’s Indian Oil.

   Like that Italian olive oil

2. Europe has often disappointed me in this regard. Make a deal with someone who wants to destroy her. When will we learn?

3. Should just call India Putin’s refinery.

4. Yeah, and the profit transfers to India. That is how sanctions work.

5. Don’t really see the issue. Europe has to import oil. Might as well buy through India.

   Yes Europe could pay a premium to get oil from a different source but then someone else would just buy the Russian oil instead.

6. Oh no. What a surprise. Assholes, that gives putler a money still doing it.

7. Russia is forced to sell oil cheaply to India.

   Russia earns less money.

   India earns more money.

   The rest of the world still gets access to critical oil.

   There have been endless articles about this, but it’s precisely what Europe *wants*.

   Everyone except Russia is happy about it.

8. What’s the oil being used for? Could the EU buy less oil and instead invest the money into diverging from requiring oil in the first place?

9. Mental gymnastics in this thread is legendary. People will convince themselves anything to avoid admitting they were wrong.

11. Europe trying to not be hypocrites challenge: impossible difficulty.

12. Some perspective – 200,000 barrels per day bought from India, up from 100,000 before the war. 18.5 million barrels per day consumed in Europe.

13. Wow, europe is the biggest hypocrite out there.

14. We truly are pathetic.

15. Article is from January 2024. And Europe is not a country.

16. Don’t even compare Hungary to the rest of Europe.

17. How can we trust Russia after all this?

18. Let’s just stop with thr oil finally.
