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.

There is no hyprocisy.

India does not blame and vilify countries that merely traded with Britain during colonial times. Now India expects to be treated the same. It is pretty consistent.

Nonsense. 

When through years of struggle you have gained independence from a colonial power and now support another colonial power to deny another coutry ITS independence, you are a hypocrite. 

Also hypocritical: India acts as if it plays no role in this war, it pretends to be neutral. 

Meanwhile they are cynically profiting from this war by buying up cheap oil. They have Ukrainian blood on their hands and are a big factor in the continuation of this war. 

They deserve to be villified and they deserve all the tariffs.

India is neutral. Maintaining normal trade relations with both sides is neutrality.

They have Ukrainian blood on their hands and are a big factor in the continuation of this war. 

Are all countries that had trade with the USA responsible for the death of every Iraqi and Afghan? In that case, every country, save for perhaps North Korea, has Iraqi blood on their hands, since they traded with the USA in the 2000s.

Nonsense

Ukraine is not being forced to buy diesel for India tho?

Ukraine have Ukrainian blood on their hands and are a big factor in the continuation of this war and they deserve to be villified and they deserve all the tariffs for it
