Why is it ok for the US to dictate India’s foreign and economic policy? The very idea is pure arrogance on the part of the US. Instead, if we really want this conflict to end, we should be sitting down and asking Putin what he needs. If we want something, we need to make sure Russia’s needs are met. If the US were in Russia’s situation we wouldn’t compromise either.

The US isn't "dictating" India's foreign and economic policy. We're merely setting our own foreign and economic policy. We have certain conditions our trading partners must meet or we don't wish to trade with them.

“we should be sitting down and asking Putin what he needs”

You don’t think Trump has asked him that? What if Putin wants all of Ukraine is that ok? What if Ukraine doesn’t want that and the war goes on as a prolonged guerrilla action?

I really don’t know at this point if a continually unstable Ukraine is a better solution than the current stalemate? A stable peace is of course the best outcome but it doesn’t appear Putin wants that if it means Ukrainian independence.

As a general rule however, Russian aggression shouldn’t be rewarded in any way and the efforts to cripple Russian military offensive operations need to continue along with the isolation of Russia from the world economy.
