      It’s already doomed. This will just accelerate it.

          2.5% of India’s GDP is dependent on exports to USA. 40% of oil import and a major chunk of defence import is dependent on Russia.

          The numbers do not favor Mr. Trump.

            That’s because you’re assuming trump is working for USA’s interests.

      India is in it for India. If it is better for India to trade with the US than Russia, they will.

    No matter how many things Trump does that are hostile to Russia they will continue to call him a Russian asset. It’s fascinating.

      Because Trump didn’t put tariffs directly to Russia, doesn’t matter that it doesn’t make any sense to tariff someone that you sanctioned instead you pressure the countries that trade with it.

        And I guess they think the sanctions are just natural and there’s nothing Trump can do about them.
