It’ll be very interesting to see if Europe caves to US pressure and imposes those tariffs on India.
We should. India is buying wayyy to much from Russia and fueling their war economy
Would have made more sense to coordinate this from the beginning. The entirety of the EU does as much trade with India as the US does.
EU should tbh and i hope UK does as well but we’re pretty spineless tbh.
Don’t get fooled by Trump. He just wants us to buy American products and increase Europe’s dependence on the US
Is this because their own tariffs just got ruled illegal?
Trump ruined the QUAD and decades of relationship building, and now wants the EU to do the same stupid thing.
I think it makes sense but it would only be reasonable that if the EU puts tariffs on India, the US does something in return for the EU (like dropping tariffs).
India investing billions into french aero space
Didn’t France and Germany talked about secondary sanctions recently? If Europe is serious, they would do it and starting with India isn’t a bad idea.
After the Alaska meeting, Putin said, in front of Trump, that he was happy that the US had increased its trade with Russia by 20% since he took office. We also learned that Exxon and Rosnet were having secret talks to have the former return to Russia.
If Krasnov wants us to impose tariffs on India, it is surely not because they are buying Russian fuel but because it is a convenient pretext to force us into submission.
This sub: TACO is a Russian asset zOMG!
Also this sub: omg you want us to sanction the largest purchaser of Russian gas that helps fund the war in ukraine?? Nooooo ew
A portion of India’s oil imports come from Russia, which is purchased at a price cap set by the ‚Price Cap Coalition‘ (G7 + EU + Australia). International customers (including some EU countries) purchase refined petroleum products from India at market prices.
In 2024, Russia represented about 12% of global oil production and 18% of oil exports. What do you think would have happened if 1/6 of global oil market supply was suddenly cutoff? A basic understanding of the core concepts of supply and demand in macroeconomics would be beneficial.
India’s increased purchases of Russian oil, rather than undermining global sanctions, have served as a critical market stabilizing mechanism that has prevented far more severe economic consequences. By absorbing nearly 40% of Russia’s oil exports, India has maintained global supply availability, preventing catastrophic price spikes that could have triggered $150 per barrel oil prices, and avoided additional inflationary pressures.
With alternative major suppliers Venezuela and Iran constrained by illegal sanctions and OPEC+ spare capacity insufficient to replace Russian volumes, India’s pragmatic energy procurement strategy has inadvertently protected the global economy from the full shock of removing a supplier representing over 18% of world oil exports. This „laundering“ process, while politically controversial, has maintained global refined product supplies and prevented even more severe price increases in gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel markets.
Having said all of that, I condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I also believe that realpolitik ultimately rules in a country’s decision making process. This is true in a democracy, a dictatorship and a hybrid.
US tariff on India has actually nothing to do with Russia. He is just doing this out of spite because Modi snubbed him about resolving India Pakistan issues publicly.
Stop buying Russian oil via India or however else. Sanction India they are undermining our sanctions against Russia and prolonging the war in fucking Europe, it’s that simple.
Victor David Hanson wrote this yesterday – he’s rather pragmatic on Europe from a university standpoint at Stanford :
Victor Davis Hanson: Europe’s Cracks Are Showing
In a recent video lecture, historian Victor Davis Hanson lays out what he sees as Europe’s three biggest crises: illegal immigration, energy policy, and the slow collapse of the post–World War II order. His argument isn’t complicated—Europe is running out of room for denial, and the consequences are piling up.
1. Illegal Immigration and Border Breakdown
Across Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and France, immigration has become a lightning rod. Hanson points to Angela Merkel’s 2015 decision to admit roughly one million migrants—mostly from Muslim-majority countries—as a turning point. The result, he argues, has been a dramatic demographic shift and growing tensions around assimilation, crime, and law enforcement.
In Britain, many now feel that immigrants are not being held to the same legal standards as citizens. Whether that perception is accurate or not, it’s fueling mass protests and political instability. Hanson’s blunt message: without secure borders, nations risk unraveling social cohesion.
2. Europe’s Energy Gamble
On energy, Hanson doesn’t mince words. Europe’s push for a “net-zero” carbon future, he argues, has been driven more by idealism than realism. Germany shut down its nuclear plants, doubled down on renewables, and moved away from fossil fuels. The unintended result? Soaring energy bills that punish citizens and cripple industries already struggling to compete globally.
When heating your home or keeping the lights on becomes a luxury, something is fundamentally broken. Hanson suggests a hard reset—return to natural gas and oil, re-invest in nuclear, and stop pretending wind and solar can shoulder the entire burden.
3. The End of the Post-War Order
For nearly 80 years, Europe leaned on the U.S. to guarantee its security. From the Marshall Plan to NATO, America built the scaffolding that allowed European nations to focus on social welfare states instead of defense.
But Hanson argues that this arrangement is dead. The U.S. can no longer subsidize Europe’s defense while also handling China, the Middle East, and its own domestic crises. Trump’s demand that NATO members meet their 2% defense spending commitments wasn’t just bluster—it was a wake-up call. Today, even European leaders quietly admit the post-war security model is collapsing.
Hanson’s Prescription
If Europe wants to avoid a darker future, Hanson argues, it needs to course-correct:
• Secure its borders and enforce immigration laws.
• Rebuild reliable energy capacity with natural gas, oil, and nuclear.
• Scale back the “socialist state” that relies on U.S. protection while ignoring its own defense obligations.
Whether or not one agrees with his politics, Hanson’s critique touches a nerve. Europe is at an inflection point. Pretending otherwise won’t make the cracks disappear.

Not happening, even then France will do everything against it, Germany will very most likely do the same as they were gonna sell submarines.
