Not vilifying India, just the policy that weakens sanctions by giving them an outlet for oil and inferior weapons sales. Taking a stand to protect other democracies would have been ideal.

Germany and other Europeans countries did when they failed to take a stand in 2014, and this is where it has led.

India's interests are that of its citizens. And that means buying oil at a cheaper rate, even if it is from a country that a certain moral policing nation doesn't like.
