“Russia on Tuesday weighed into the growing spat between India and the U.S., with the Kremlin saying New Delhi is free to choose its own trading partners”.
I agree.
Choice is theirs. Russias pitiful economy, our ours? Choose wisely.
Eff India and their H1B invaders.
Lol
According to Russia, only India can choose its trading partners, not the effing U.S. We have no such freedom. We must do as Putin says.
According to not-crack brained logic, freedom is a two way street. A willing seller AND a willing buyer.
Of course, crack-brained logic is different. According to crack-brained logic, only the powerful are free. The weak don’t have freedom.
Check your Nietzsche people and answer the question: are we Americans going to stand up to Putin and are we going to be his slaves.
No one is forcing india to do anything. It can get the tariffs or buy Russian oil
Yes, of course.
And the US is free to choose its own tariffs on goods entering it.
That’s right.
People forget that after Biden/his handlers imposed the oil sanctions against Russia, Russia sold their oil to India at a high price and India turned around and sold the Russian oil to Europe at a higher price. The Europeans got the weanie.

Yes. And we can choose our trading partners as well.
I take this stance not out of any support for the execrably corrupt Ukrainian government (who only feigns friendship with the USA for our money, they are not our friends) or any hatred of Russia, but because we are STILL sending money to that bottomless piece of crap area on that side of the world, and the sooner it stops, the sooner we can stop finding excuses to send MY tax payments over there.
And I do have sympathy for both Ukrainian and Russian men being fed into the meat grinder, as I do believe Trump does.
If they (India, China, and Iran) won’t cut off the funding for the war on both sides, Trump can make it harder for all of them to contribute to funding it (with their energy expenditures paid to Russia or Iran) and I am good with that.
India exports $71B to the US.
India exports $2B to Russia.
If you were India, which would you choose?
They do and sovereign nations can chose how they trade with other nations, sadly for Russia it has little to trade for
I also have sympathy for the people on both sides of the Russia Ukraine war.
A generation lost, and for no good reason.
And for certain-I don’t hate Russian or Ukrainian citizens any more than I hate Chinese citizens which means I don’t hate any of them.
I have no doubt meeting with them on a person-to-person basis, I would largely find the interaction both enjoyable and entertaining.
It does bother me that these people are bring scooped up on both sides by Zelensky and by Putin and thrown at each other.
It is nauseating.
Do not trust any russian or chinese you come in contact with.
The main land chinese for the most part are and have been indoctrinated so much that they lie, steel and graft at the drop of a hat. They will steel for their government, they will graft for their government, they will lie for their government and that may be just a side hack to their own steeling, lying and personal graft. They cheat in business, the cheat in school, they cheat each other.
It' been stamped on their genes. It is a law that every chinese any where are under the direct control of the chinese government "ccp'. Oddly the russians are pretty much the same, years of communist rule and their intellectual rape of their own citizens has take it's tole. Like the chinese 'ccp' the russian 'kgb' has done the same thing and corrupted their people so much that if they are not steel try aren't trying.
So keep mouthing the fellow traveler guide books useful fool sayings if yo wish but I would warn you to keep your hand on your wallet, wife and kids when either a russian or chinese is around.
I deal with people on an individual basis, so I base my impressions on a personal interaction whenever that is possible. If it is not possible, I resort to a group impression.
If you do otherwise, that is on you. I don’t judge you, so I would appreciate it if you refrain from judging me.
OOOPPPPPSSSS!
Playing you democrat card?
I did NOT judge you, the word judge does not appear in my post any where. I did say you were and you are wrong.
Here’s an example:
You: I want to stick my hand in boiling water because the bubbles look nice and inviting.
Me: No that’s wrong....
See that not judging, that’s just trying to look out for you. The judging if any, that would come later at the emergency room...
I gave you the best caution I could give you when dealing with those commie types. That was all.
I will admit tho when, not if but when you come back crying about be ripped of or being used and thrown away like last weeks tissue I will laugh.
I kid, I kid...........
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
You are new here, unless you are a retread. Let me ask you: why do you come here?
