Which means they can buy more, which can end up increasing the revenue to Russia.

Paying less for Russian oil must be very exciting for Russia.

Trump slapped sanctions on India for buying Russian oil, thinking he’d force them to back down. Instead? New Delhi laughed, went back to Moscow, and negotiated even bigger discounts on crude. Now India is paying even less for the same oil.

So India pays higher tarrifs and Russia sells their oil even cheaper and this is a win for them? How?

Selling more oil is exciting for Russia, since a glut of it has been building up in storage tanks.

Yes, selling oil for less is very exciting. Putin probably told Trump to do that.

It can be, when youre also selling oil that was not being sold at all.

Good for them, now they'll be able to afford paying a double or triple tariff percent.

The US and Europe are still doing billions of dollars’ worth of business with Russia despite years of war​

Trade between Russia and the US has fallen by about 90% since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but last year, the US still imported $3 billion worth of goods from Russia, according to the latest data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and Census Bureau.

Meanwhile, the European Union – which has been the Americans’ partner in sanctions against Russia – imported $41.9 billion (36 billion euros) of goods from Russia in 2024, data from the bloc’s statistics agency shows.

And I defended neither. I'm not sure why you believe yours is a proper rebuttal. I should note though, Russia never threatened us other than when Hillary threatened them first.
