Russian oil

Scott Bessent's latest condescending post reveals Washington is now presenting temporary access to Russian oil as a humanitarian favour, even though the global energy disruption itself was triggered by America’s own unwarranted war with Iran.

Trump already threatened that Cuba could be the next nation to encounter US troops and wants the "honour" of "taking" it.

Moscow's shipments were halted by Western sanctions, but Indian giants such as Reliance's Jamnagar, the world's largest refinery, devoured Urals grade and turned it into aviation fuel that ironically powered Europe's fleets affected by the restrictions, bringing in $6 billion in refined reward.

The only thing more glaring here than the obvious lie that the US controls India’s oil purchases is the sheer hypocrisy of the US government to insinuate that their sanctions are a blessing for the world, and when they pretend to un-sanction their own sanctions, it is again for the benefit of the world.

A sovereign nation’s policy works on sovereign interests. Sanctions or tariffs are just geopolitical hiccups that need occasional recalibration and working through. Be it crude oil, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), rare earths or any other commodity, the current global order is an intricate mesh of supply chains and logistical mechanics.

At the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that India has committed only to not increasing Russian oil imports. This "additional" caveat allows New Delhi to maintain energy security while navigating US trade pressures and domestic political criticism.
