> are going to buy Russian oil and not side with the us (sic) in Ukraine
Well,
1. That oil goes to the EU. If there's a buyer, there's going to be a seller [0]
2. It's at margins barely above the cost to extract, which is as big a financial hit you make make [1]
3. As pointed above, China is the bigger bad to India instead of Russia. It's better to keep countries neutral in a future India-China war
> Any development in a country that has not washed its hands of Russia should be illegal for selling in the us.
Thank god you don't work at the State Department. That's how you alienate every country that isn't in North America and Europe.
China would have the pick of the litter.

However, the us is operating from weakness here which is not okay and the situation should have never been allowed to develop to this point. Ironically it may be outsourcing and offshoring in the first place that led us here.
US critical infrastructure development should not be outsourced to countries who have any contact with countries that are we are in a proxy war with.
Any development in a country that has not washed its hands of Russia should be illegal for selling in the us.
In addition, the recent argument with Canada over the killing over a citizen on Canadian soil comes into play here. That is not what s country under western influence does.
