President Joe Biden told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that buying more oil from Russia was not in India's interest and could hamper the U.S. response to the war in Ukraine, U.S. officials said.

Myth of consensual oil trade

🇮🇳: I consent

🇷🇺: I consent

🇺🇸: I DON'T!

      Even the liberal (kinda progressive?) Congress party is friendly towards Russia, U.S will not be able to break that relation through regime change but yea.

        Modi is not going anywhere. If modi somehow gets democracied, a worse hindu nationalist will come to power. The country is fucked to the core now thanks to the bjp.

          Idk who could be even worse than Modi. Ig they could install someone who wants total genocide of non-Hindus but Modi isn't against pogroms either.

            Yogi Adityanath, currently chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, a state larger than Germany. He's being groomed to be Modi's successor and he is way more mask off than Modi.

              He will likely be the "successor" to Modi, yes, but I don't think there is that much ideological differences between them, just that one is more vocal in his rhetoric. If Modi weren't Prime Minister, his language wouldn't be that different from Yogi's.
