Issue is that India started new trade with Russia, it is not dependent on it (like Europe, I don't know what the heck US is doing), they just jumped on opportunity. And Europe works hard on stopping that, but it is a bit hard to stop e.g. gas import if your own supply won't be able to heat people homes (it is not India, in Europe we are just starting spring, but still temperatures can hit freezing point).

I didn't know about Greece, I was wondering how in the world was Russia transporting that oil and wheat.

In other words, Europe continues to buy from Russia so as to not to inconvenience its own citizens (need gas to heat people’s homes). But India shouldn’t buy from Russia to keep a check on fuel prices in a poor country.

Seems like you don’t care as long as someone else is inconvenienced.


fuel vs freezing to death, not quite the same.

And Europe is not filled with rich countries.


It's EU and NATO who fooled Ukraine. Your complains are misplaced.


like russia didnt keep the nation in a boa constrictor for centuries. Rebellion was inevitable, expecially with access to the internet, outside the good propaganda.


I don't see a problem in trade with Russia. We certainly don't have the moral high ground, also trade is good for peace and living standards.


Europe also thought that trade is good for peace, but it is not if you trade with some countries with long history of double crossing others.


Yeah, expanding NATO everyday post 1989 was a great idea for trade?


Yes, it was, Russians didn't attack NATO members. And countries desperately want to join so they won't be attacked by Russia.

NATO will loose its purpose when Russia disappears.
