India buys cheap Russian oil then refines it and sells Diesel to Ukraine?

The spirit of Marc Rich lives ...

They are hypocrites. 

After fighting for their independence from a colonial power, they are now more than happy profiting from a war in which a colonial power wants to deny another country its independence.

My favorite is when they use US support for Pakistan as justification in response to India being called out for their strong support for Russia.

I mean the USA was going to nuke india and help pakistan win the war. Thats a pretty huge thing.

The russians saved india.

Yeah it was pretty bad, just like it’s pretty bad to actively support an imperialist aggressor state that engages in genocide.

Instead of pointing fingers at others why don’t NATO puts boots on the ground and help Ukraine?. Or EU/US could couple stop total trade with Russia. It’s shameful that west can’t handle their own problems and drags others into this mess.

Nobody is being dragged into it, it's just the west acting in its own interest if they pressure India. Something Indians also always use as a justification, just doing what's in their own interests.

"In my own interest" isn't a justification to kill the competition in the market by sanctioning every competitor.

Yep you frequent Indian subs. I get it man, just admitting your country is hypocritical just like the “evil westerners” is difficult.

u/Stock_Outcome3900 1d ago

Of course I do, and the "evil western" is lacking braincells here to understand what in my own interest means.

so maybe ukraine should stop buying diesel from india and stop genocide in ukraine instead of blaming india.

and it's also pretty bad how USA is actively supporting genocide in gaza

I remember this one time where western powers invaded a country under false pretext of nuclear weapons. I think lots of EU folk helped out too IIRC.

Oh well there you go, that makes it okay to support Russia!
