India will never pick a side. It’s a 6000 year old civilization. It’s seen this movie before. US actually buys more from Russia (rare minerals and fertilizer).
Sheesh. If you want to debate and discuss with people online you have to be a little sharper. Choosing and picking a side means they either pay the tariff by continuing to buy oil or they choose not to trade with the U.S. it doesn’t mean they have to pick a side in the war. The only decision they make is whether or not trade with the US is still worth it at 50% tariffs or if Oil from Russia is still worth it if it means trading with the US is lowered. It’s entirely up to them. They are sovereign but the U.S is also sovereign and can choose this route as well.
