Very very naive and shortsighted.

While the world is watching Zakoski on awards shows in the US, Pakistan is about to blow up. Khan just blocked a vote of no confidence that surely would have passed. The country is drowning in chinese belt and road debt which is causing 15% inflation. They have 220 million people, AND UNLIKE UKRAINE, they do have nukes. They are bffs with china and Khan was on the phone with Putin the day they were walking into Ukraine.

All this.....and we threaten the one ally we HAD, India????

Simple question, how much oil is India buying from Russia and at what price? Why didnt we sell the reserves to them at the price they were getting from Russia, we sold the reserves to china the last time. How much oil and gas are Europe buying from Russia....oh yeah thats a different story....how so??|?????

Modi may not like chini, but the US has certainly shat the bed on this, and it could have permanent effects on the world stage.

Well when you are intentionally taking a blow torch to foreign policy, you might as well come with a flame thrower.

It is intentional, look at it from that angle. The U.S. cannot exist as it is today and globalization happen.

And neither did we with chini, but it made a heck of a statement by selling them some, and we could have done the same with India.

The reserve sell off is a joke and unfortunately most Americans dont realize we consume 17 million barrels a day and one million barrels a day is akin to the 50 grams of fat and bread the german troops got rationed in Stalingrad, it was a wee bit short.

Trying to strong arm an ally, when you have no leverage, is quite embarrassing....and dangerous.

India is the only economic market seriously capable of competing with China. In a world of either or, which is the only thought process our betters are capable of thinking in, we must pick sides.

Liberals hate Indians.

They are full of melanin and are the highest earners.

Indian American Families are the highest average earners in the US. They are dark skinned. They pretty much disprove the whole you can’t make it if your brown.

China is hemorrhaging manufacturing and supply chain to competitors. The biggest threat in that arena would be India. So if I had to guess what exactly "we" gain from threatening India, I suspect "we" get more Beijing money for The Big Guy.

We're also involved in some frickery in Pakistan. Maybe the Brandon asylum enjoys playing "what would it take to cause a nuclear catastrophe?"

The Brandon regime is beyond wreakless and incompetent. These frickers are evil.
