I think the point is that's a little bit more complicated than you make it out to be. The USA is also "supporting the war effort" by buying fertilizer, etc from them.

If it is just whataboutism, then why bother.

India is a major US military equipment importer today by slowly pivoting from USSR tech & also a significant business partner to the US. Many multiples higher than its trade with Russia. Thats real $. We could similarly argue India is supporting the US efforts by supporting its revenue.
