"Randhir Jaiswal: India was unfairly targeted by the US and EU for purchasing oil from Russia following the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict. He pointed out that India turned to Russian oil after its traditional supply chains were diverted to Europe during the early stages of the conflict.

At the time, the US had actively encouraged such imports by India to stabilise the global energy market.
India’s energy imports are aimed at ensuring affordable and predictable energy costs for Indian consumers and are driven by global market realities.
The very countries criticising India continue to engage in trade with Russia — and unlike India, their trade is not out of national necessity.
The EU’s bilateral trade with Russia stood at €67.5 billion in 2024, including 16.5 million tonnes of LNG as well as fertilisers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel, machinery, and transport equipment. This far exceeds India’s total trade with Russia for the same period.
United States, continues to import uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV sector, as well as fertilisers and chemicals from Russia.
In light of these facts, he said, targeting India is unjustified. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary steps to protect its national interests and economic security."

Dangers of the Benefit of the Doubt

Just a mild point I want to make, which I have noticed for a while now and been relatively quiet about, because it is relatively minor. But I am certain a number of the community have also had these thoughts.

When speaking of Donald Trump, and his actions as of late (as in the last few months), Mr Mercouris has a rather nasty habit of thinking the best of Trump. It has lost it's glamor as of recently I noticed, but even now he tries to push off the implications that the variety of actions Trump is taking are his decision. That there must be some manipulation or ploy to undermine him.

Harry Truman had a policy: The Buck Stops Here. We can't absolve Trump of his responsibility for everything he's enabling.

Mr Mercouris risks losing legitimacy if he keeps trying to clutch at straws to protect Trump. Same as he is losing, in the eyes of some, legitimacy because he won't talk about Gaza as much as Ukraine. I would argue it's best to stick to what he's ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
