If the United States pressures India on certain issues, India will retaliate. At the current price of oil, I think the people of that country need a little help in reducing the price of oil. I think the situation in India will get better soon.
Exactly how is India going to retaliate ? that would be amusing. and pretty futile
I hope the states do sanction them, with the blood oil they purchase. Every country is going thru tough times. the world stood by them when China attacked their borders, but they are not standing with the world in support of Ukraine.
India play smart. - that is one thing I like about them. They are having good terms with USA and on the other side they are buying oil from Russia and selling it to EU. Isnt that smart? HOwever they are also giving oil on less prices to their locals .. and they are giving subsidy to the people for the purchase of solar panels. Great move though!
