Russian War Crimes (Part 1)

Yes, this is what is happening now. Negotiations already underway with the Emirates. Lots of deals that I won’t like will have to be made because it is a situation in extremis. Agree. This is true. I can only agree and I think I know now without reading the rest of the bullet points where this is going. I think gas is the main issue far more than oil, but fair enough. I note that India imports currently 2 percent of oil from Russia. There is more than enough oil though. We won’t see…

So coming back to this topic @Magnus

@Magnus

. If one is neutral, one accepts what Russia is doing by default and so should be criticized.

Again. You are not looking at the realities, There are things that entities have to do to ensure their subject’s livelihood etc. You continue to see things in black and white. India cannot do anymore than this. India’s reality is that they’ve to import more than 85% of their fuel and gas to ensure that their population is taken care of.

Your point on isolating Russia is well noted, however, what India is purchasing is but a very small amount of what their total purchases.

Also.

This by itself means that the trade isn’t happening to Russian terms.
