    1. Not surprised they will first wait for TACO to actually do something. Also weird how he is singeling out India and not mentioning China at all

      To the surprise of absolutely no one as they keep on supporting Israel too.

    3. Not a surprise because there’s no deal on the tariffs so its back to the usual modus operandi.

      Will the EU or US cut ties with Pakistan or China if either ever attacked India?
      Absolutely not. They’ll keep dealing with them. That’s your proof that these alliances are completely one‑sided. You want India to sacrifice its interests for you, but you’d never do the same for us. That’s not friendship, that’s servitude.

      I feel bad for Ukraine. Just like I feel for the people of Palestine. The West calls out Russia for genocide but is happy funding Israel’s war machine with billions while it bombs children and wipes out generations in Gaza. If it’s about morals, then be consistent. Otherwise just admit it’s about power, money and who controls the narrative.

      Now let’s talk oil. India used to buy from Iran. You sanctioned that. Then you asked OPEC to increase supply. They didn’t. Now the US is hoarding and pulling oil off the global market to protect domestic prices. Where exactly is India supposed to get its energy from? We have 1.4 billion people to take care of. Not tweets. Not hashtags. Fuel. Jobs. Growth. We aren’t here to starve just to look good in the eyes of people who wouldn’t even stop selling weapons to countries that threaten our borders.

      And before anyone gets on a high horse, here are the facts. Russia’s exports are still flooding global markets. In 2024–25, Russia exported around $348 billion worth of goods, mostly oil, gas, metals, fertilizers, and grains. Here’s who’s buying and how much they’re actually paying:

      Top Countries Funding Russia (2024–25)

      Country Est. Import Value (USD) What They Import

      China $128 billion Crude oil, gas, coal, metals, electronics, cereals

      Netherlands $42 billion Petroleum products, LNG, fertilizers, metals

      Germany $29.6 billion Crude, LNG, refined oil, aluminum

      Turkey $26.4 billion Crude oil, diesel, grain, fertilizers

      Belarus $23.1 billion Oil, gas, industrial goods, chemicals

      Italy $25 billion (est.) Crude, LNG, metal products

      South Korea $13 billion Gas, coal, nuclear fuels

      Japan $12 billion Energy products, metals

      Kazakhstan $11.6 billion Oil, minerals, heavy industry goods

      United States $15.4 billion Fertilizers, platinum, rare metals, chemicals

      So don’t point fingers just because it’s convenient. India’s imports are mostly energy — around $4–5 billion per month in crude — essential for keeping our economy and society running. That’s not support for war, that’s survival.

      Meanwhile, Europe continues buying Russian gas and LNG through indirect channels — Belgium, Hungary, France, Netherlands, Slovakia. No one says a word about that. The US itself imported $15.4 billion worth of Russian goods last year — including fertilizers and strategic metals.

      Stop expecting others to die on your hill when you won’t even speak up for us in ours. We’re not going to ruin our economy and kill development just to look good in the eyes of people who wouldn’t even stop selling weapons to countries that threaten our borders.

    5. The funny thing is, this isn’t even a retaliation. Despite what the title makes it sound like. They can’t afford not to. According to my contacts there, fuel prices are already high, and disconnecting from Russian oil will only make things worse.
