i can't help but be (more than) a little offended by all the screaming and whining and sh@ting on india for continuing to buy r*ssian oil

1. india, as a poor wretched developing nation that even in the best of times is only barely scraping by, would be CRAZY not to get oil at the lowest price it possibly can

2. """europe""" (g rmany, especially) is fully complicit in funding putin's misadventures, to the tune of trillions, by making itself COMPLETELY dependent on russian oil (despite being repeatedly advised against that)

3. India sh@s on itself enough as is.

4. Finally, Eur*pe is still buying Russian oil by the tanker as well.

The unabashed hypocrisy is simply astonishing.

I, for one, can't fault India at all for taking advantage of Putin's stupidity and grabbing oil at cheap prices by the fistful while it still can.

like, come on

this is just being smart lol

https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ukraine-reacts-after-india-defends-russian-oil-purchase-morally-inappropriate-101670342827454.html

Absolutely nonsensical take.

With all due respect, off. India is the least of Ukraine's worries right now.

for better or worse, right now russian oil is india's best option

if the """w*stern""" powers had any more than an ounce of collective wisdom they would offer india a SUPERIOR alternative to russian oil, rather than just whinging and condemning and being obnoxious hypocrites

big w for india tbh

i mean, india's usual source of oil is the middle eastern producers, whose prices have skyrocketed in part because europe is rapidly replacing russian oil with saudi oil

so india, a poor forlorn third-world state, is priced out of its usual market because of skyrocketing demand

while russian oil is now pennies on the petrodollar per plummeting demand

you'd have to be NUTS to condemn india for taking advantage of russia's utter desperation lol

Also, fun fact: we're now 300 days into Putin's "Kiev will fall in 3 days !!".

y'kno

as an *merican, reading news like this makes me breathe an uncomfortable sigh of relief

I mean, it's evidence that our extremely high military investments actually are now paying off, at least on some level.

It also lends credence to the age-old meme that the American economy needs and is fueled by everlasting war and that's the only way its crazy high military expenditure could possibly make any sense. I have never been fond of that meme.

Any good news? It seems we've hit a bit of a stalemate, hopefully not for long.

The winter makes it hard for ground forces to do much in that region so it's likely to be a bit of a stalemate until spring
