“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.

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.

India exports $71B to the US.
India exports $2B to Russia.

If you were India, which would you choose?
