good then they wont miss it
Id also review our tariffs that we have with India
nothing personal its just business
India has decided that getting Russian oil is more important then trying to persuade Putin not to attack other nations so they should understand
how would pulling $110 million in aid and imposing tariffs on India be business just because they decided to buy Russian oil at discounts? It wouldn't. That actually sounds like quite the opposite- sounds like an emotional or personal reaction- and not business.
You do realize how stupid that sounds, no - when basically all of Western Europe is still buying oil & gas from Russia. Today. How about you pull aid and impose tariffs on EU countries while you're at it?
US is the moral arbiter of nothing and no one. We have stacked way higher dead body counts and have more blood on our hands than just about any country in the world. If we want to impose bans in the US from importing Russian oil, that's fine. We can't tell other countries what they can and can't do and then act all
emotional like a bunch of females when they don't do what we tell them to do.
India is the 3rd largest consumer of oil in the world as well as the 3rd largest importer of oil in the world behind only China and the US. They consume
a lot more oil than they produce. They only produce around 627k barrels of oil per day- they consume almost 4.5 million. It's not realistic or fair to tell them they can't buy oil from Russia because we said so. Of course they are going to buy it- and of course they'll buy it at discounts. They literally have to- they have no other choice as they import around 85-86% of their total oil consumption.
I think India government official said it best in that article....
“Countries with oil self-sufficiency or those importing themselves from Russia cannot credibly advocate restrictive trading,”
