The leaders of Russia, China and India met at a key regional summit in the northern Chinese port city of Tianjin on Monday as they navigate tensions with the United States.

Amid this thicket of tensions, the cozy optics at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization gathering appeared a clear signal in the face of U.S. pressure.

Weeks after Trump and Putin made headlines with a protocol-busting ride in “The Beast” at their Alaska summit, Modi joined the Russian leader for a drive in the back of Putin's own armored limo — a not-so-subtle statement of defiance just days after the U.S. doubled tariffs on India to 50% as punishment for buying Russian oil.

Terribly sorry, Trump is not taking messages at this time. You'll have to talk to his chatbot until further notice.

I read another headline today that India is now the 1st provider of Diesel fuel to Ukraine.

IASIP - playing both sides

That was pretty much India’s Cold War strategy, right?

Love my Indian government the started adding ethanol about 10 - 20 % percent to diesel and petrol, but not lowered the price. I know It will be good for earth and environment but atleast give a choice for non compliant vehicles. And other countries like bhutan get petrol from india via exports but still have lower prices?

Ethanol is often not more environmental, it's just a farming subsidy with more steps.

As a farmer, I think ethanol is the least efficient form of solar energy that one could come up with on purpose. It's fucking stupid in a world with cheap solar panels and LFP batteries.

Its all politicians blowing government winds in their own sails. The 2 companies minting money from ethanol blending are headed by sons of a minister.
