  1. India doing what India does, looking after themselves first, last and always.

  2. BRiCS shit. nothing new. we should sanction india as well, if we’re not already doing that.

  3. I mean this was part of the plan.

    India is paying greatly discounted rates for Russian oil that eventually makes its way to the rest of the world.

    It essentially a price cap on Russian oil.

    The real issue is Saudi Arabia/OPEC artificially manipulating the price of oil. If they wanna be big boys, maybe it’s time to cut them off the western teat and they can deal with Iran with Russian support. One sure they can get pointers from Armenia on how to make it work effectively.

  4. India is china but 40 years behind. We should NOT invest more industry in their country. Cut out the middle man and go to africa or SEA. We are just repeating history by siding with this tyrannical regime.

  5. The West could also simply try to reach an agreement with China at the expense of India and Russia…. then the two one-legged nations can limp along.

  6. That’s misleading. EU “increased” trade with India is a result of EU buying Russian oil from them. Everyone perfectly knows where “Indian” oil come from

  7. India should also be included in Nations that are sanctioned. Hell, just because they harbor all the damn phone scammers alone.

  8. I was about to say India will soon become an enemy for NATO and the west, but I changed my mind quite soon. I think it’s probably more plausible they will have a war with China or even russia instead

  9. Laugh’s on the Russians, though. They were hoping to get paid in something valuable, like Chuck E. Cheese tokens or Kroger coupons. Imagine their disappointment when they had to accept payment in rupees instead.

  10. How’s this for a radical idea? Bring manufacturing back to Western countries, and screw the fat cats who don’t like it. It’s the only way to ensure security going forward.

  11. Much of India is super competitive and it’s every person for themselves in order to survive. They also want to stick it to the west for past grievances and to prove their power. The west needs to realize what China, India, Saudi Arabia/OPEC and others are doing is taking this opportunity to damage the west and increase their own power. We are in an economic world war and the only way to end it is stop russia. No red lines, no hesitation. MAGA Republicans support for russia is treason.

  12. But isn’t india reselling the refined oil to Europe? EU could just sanction refined oil from India to stop the demand if they want to.

  13. Pretty sure this has cropped up before but India buys with Rupees which moskovia can’t spend anywhere internationally apart from with India, so they get cheaper oil and other stuff for free ……

    Easy

  14. I wouldnt blame India they are in a tight spot. while nobody seems to care that another despotic tyranny Saudi Arabia as it is closely working with Russia to pump the prices up. Paying billions for soccer players by us buying their oil for our cars doesnt bother anyone I guess

  15. We would get more cooperation from India if the West tightened travel/work/student visa requirements.

    I mean really, if India wants Russia as an ally, why can’t Indian elites also vacation in Russia or send their children to university there.

    As far as I’m concerned India can be friends with us, or they can be friends with them, but they can’t do both.

  16. Don’t rely on a country on the edge of famine to be a reliable partner. The pressures on India dictates it MUST play all sides to its advantage. Still shitty, don’t get me wrong, but understandable.

  17. India is going to be out of useful friends when China comes knocking

  18. India is long overdue for sanctions. Their actions will set them back for decades.
