Maybe the libs are right about the whole Russian puppet think, cuz this is such a dumb move, I really don't see how it does anything but help Russia. What alternative does India actually have when it comes to Russia, I'd imagine there's practically none.
The BJP are fascist fanatics but I'd still say India is less of an outright puppet then Europe.
Yeah it's a stunningly dumb move on the part of the US. India invested billions in oil refining infrastructure since the war started. They were doing practically no refining before the war, and now it's a huge industry for them. If Trump thinks they're just going to abandon that then he's delusional. All this is going to achieve is to drive India further towards BRICS because they're going to have no other choice.
He is delusional
indubitably
