India’s finance minister defended the country’s stepped up purchases of discounted Russian oil, saying that the government is simply doing what was best for the economy

Nirmala Sitharaman said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Plus, “I don’t see any sanctions on oil,” she said, pointing out that Western European countries continue to purchase oil, natural gas and fertilizer from Russia.

Globalisation is gone. The world is now splitting into two sides with vastly different values. On one side you have democracies with functional legal system, separation of powers with checks and balances in place. On the other side, you have would-be North-Koreas.

Boycott India.

How shameful. India knows all too well what it's like to be occupied by a foreign country. Yet they choose to support a war faring nation with blood money.

West didn't put military in Ukraine, kept buying petroleum for Russia, preached too loud to others to boycott Russia, its sanctions ruined non-Russian economies first and invited a recession. This turned the debate into Western selfishness against others'. Timing was the key!

The only real way to c9mbat Russia is to provide alternative supplies of which the US has plenty.

India will be held accountable.

Doing only what is best for the economy strips one of the moral judgement. One would expect that India based on its religious roots would be a moral authority, however that is clearly not the case in the political circles.

Ultimately it’s what matters most.

1- India has military cooperation agreements with Russia 🇷🇺, hypersonic missiles 2- India should be reminded what it expects from other countries with its border problems with China 🇨🇳 and Pakistan 🇵🇰

When one country blocks oil from Venezuela, Iran, Libya and now Russia then non oil producing counties are not left with much choice right Same country blocked vaccine base material. You can’t be a global bully in globalised world.

I'm afraid that India's right-wing Hindu Nationalist Narendra Modi is not a friend of Western democracies. Eventually he'll figure out the BRICS alliance with autocrats like Brazil's Bolsonaro, Russia's Putin, and China's Xi does not serve India well.

Yes she should stop defending. Europe , Ukraine & Russia is not our monkeys & it is not our circus. A Sovereign nations owes no explanation for its decision to outsiders.
