Ant the payments are in Rubles (worthless) and Rupees (that can’t be exported from India)
. How should We treat India? Do you support the Tramp´s tariffs on India ?
India and the so-called "Global South" decry British colonialism, yet actively fund
Moscow’s imperial war machine by buying discounted stolen Siberian oil. While preaching justice, they fuel Putin’s wars in Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, EU and beyond.
That’s not neutrality—it’s complicity.
But pressure is mounting. Every dollar cut from Urals crude means fewer bombs on

Ukrainian cities. Putin’s war economy runs on petrodollars. Starve it, and the empire cracks—just like in 1917 and 1991. Today, Moscow needs $42.4+ per barrel to survive. Anything less grinds the gears.
This is the heart of Trump’s peace plan—a modern echo of Reagan’s oil strategy. Strategic energy warfare weakens not just Russia, but its proxies: Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas. The axis of chaos begins to unravel.
India can’t play both sides. If it opposes colonialism, it must stop enabling one. History is watching.
The Moscow empire is now offering India a $3–$4 discount per barrel on Urals crude compared to Brent—up from just $1.
