→India situation
This is beyond ridiculous. "US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly called on the EU to emulate his country’s “secondary sanctions, or secondary tariffs, on India because of their consumption of Russian oil”.

Yah, right. India buys ''more'' Russian oil than it needs, and resells it to [[Europe]] at a mark up. So Europe is supposed to put "secondary sanctions" - a [[tax]] on the end [[consumer]] in Europe - on the Russian oil Europe [[import]]s from India. Wow. Makes sense. In a [[democracy]], people probably wouldn't stand for it. In [[totalitarian]] [[Europe]], [[government]] [[bureaucrat]]s look for any way to [[rape]] the people out of more of their hard earned money.

So Europe is supposed to put "secondary sanctions" - a [[tax]] on the end [[consumer]] in Europe - on the Russian oil Europe [[import]]s from India already at an [[inflated]] price. Wow. Makes sense.
