“India brushes off Trump tariff threat over Russian oil”

I suspect that the reason that Trump is sending Witkoff to Moscow is to try to figure out of his self-created Ukraine mess. Seems Trump is learning that the world will move on without begging getting on its knees and begging to us. The problem now, of course, is Russia isn’t in any mood to help Trump at this point.

It’s not healthy to oppose the boss.

Time to put a 100% (or higher) tariff on all Indian goods, to cancel all H-1B visa applications from Indian nationals, and revoke all H-1B visas issued to Indian nationals and give then 30 day to put their affairs in order and go back to India.

It seems the US-India relationships after India lost to Pakistan in the recent war. Trump likes winners.

India is just not going to be intimidated or bullied by anybody.
The oil they buy from Russia at very god prices is great for the Indian economy.

Trump hasn’t even begun to apply pressure to Russia. Your conclusion that there is nothing Trump can do to influence the situation is premature.

Cancel all H1B & Student Visas from India. They can all go work & school in Russia.

You’re either in or your out.

Decide

I guess Trump can try blockading Russia, if that’s what you’re thinking.

“No, thatโ€™s not what Iโ€™m thinking.”

How about telling us, since Trump seems to not have any further ideas.

Stop peeing down your leg and your sock rotting may stop.
Just a thought. Now may you have a nice evening.
