India just snapped up 7 million barrels of Russian oil at deep discount

Now I'm more and more sure you're a troll. You've always posted pro Chinese Communist Party propaganda and defended American born athletes who betrayed their country and competed from China. Now you are supporting Russia's aggression against Ukraine and refuse to criticize Sleepy Joe for his restrictions on oil drilling here at home which is the true cause of the high gas prices.

You can add all 3 together, multiply by 20, and still be below the US.

Yes, take 3 BILLION people in the world and they don't produce what 300 MILLION people do.

While you're at it, take their $450B annual defense spending and tell them suck on our exhaust pipe.

This is what a real leader/bully would do.

You cannot compete with us economically.

You cannot compete with us by force.

Leader = let them feel good about negotiating something face-saving.
Bully = go kick India's ass and tell China & Russia to do something about it.

If those 3 countries - and any that choose to "join" them wish to break off and operate under whatever rules they wish - go for it. Their GDP is still less than the US alone.

The rest of us will be more advanced and civilized and not attack each other by force to get our way.
Easy gomer… if a hot war ever started with China better to have 1 billion Indian bodies on your side than not. It’s much easier to arm India and provide air support than try to take a much smaller American army there.

There is a Spanish American in FlORIDA ,he has sons who are Olympic swimmers and they compete for Spain,not USA,cant recall the year,but the year Spain hosted Olympic.
NATO is the problem ,it is so PASSE,without NATO,there wont be this stupid war !
Ask yourself,why do you invest in Russia if you think it is going to invade you?
BP,XOM,CHV,VW, etc all invested in Russia.
No one wants to go back to USSR style of government,the Russians do not want it,no one wants it.

That isn't accurate. China is the one producing almost everything tangible. What exactly are you stating we are producing here in the US. I know we do produce weaponry, food, and internet content.

China, India and Russia are the three most pollution producers on earth. Do people not see the forest through the trees?

And. The Green New Deal. EV’s for everyone in the US.

While…….

Pollution, IS, NOT……. OUR, Fault!

Wake up left-leaning people.

That is all.

Carry on

If they would have "stepped up", they would have been stepping up on Russia's side.
