CAASTA and India Russo relation a headache for India

It's a concern, but nothing major. CAATSA has major ramifications that go way beyond Ukraine. The State Department will keep the CAATSA files far away from Biden's desk for as long as possible. We abstained even from a resolution brought forward by Russians. The US itself abstained on that.

Biden-Harris got the message.

Russia will remain an important partner for a lot of other natural resources. Alrosa has direct contracts worth billions to directly export uncut diamonds to our largest association of diamond processing companies. If oil prices from OPEC+ continue this way, we will sign long-term contracts with Russia for special discounted pricing further and continue engaging with them as commercially seen fit.

CAATSA is a sanction of a bygone era that affects smaller countries with heavy dependency on one side of the world, á la Turkey, whose almost entire trade is tied to the European Union, which is firmly in American control.

We are not NATO treaty allies.

Just see the face of Jaishankar, and Arindam Bagchi looking at Jaishankar.

I wonder what was Russian side saying. Did Russia just say they are going to nuke Europe ?

Looks like Russkies are getting serious in their relations with India, they are sharing stuff they were not interested in earlier

What do you mean? Wasn't the whole manned mission supposed to be with them? I read somewhere that IAF pilots have been sent to Kazakhstan for training.

You must be really not monitoring the speculator and forex traders' forums then.

Russia sits on some of the most coveted resources on earth. They have an advanced industrial base that can be ramped up at any time. The only reason why their heavy engineering appears weak is that China, Japan, and South Korea gobble all the limelight.

But things are changing as no one anticipated:

• Now Putin is demanding oil and gas payments to be in Rubles.
• China buys its entire oil and gas imports in Yuan and Rubles.
  • Not to mention the massive soybean exports that China changed from the US after Trump's trade war took a backseat after his loss in 2020.
• If OSINT is reliable, Germany, France, Hungary, Slovakia, Greece, and the Netherlands have quietly opened Ruble accounts in Gazprombank and are paying for the imports in Ruble.
• Austria and Czechia have rejected to veto Russian oil and gas from being imported into EU.
• India has already signed the Rupee-Ruble mechanism and given in-principle approval. Nirmala Sitharaman went on record to say that we have ordered oil & more is to come.
• Indonesia's PT Pertamina (oil company) CEO Widyawati said that her company is in talks with Indian banks to pay Russians in Rupee.
• Brazil and Mexico are the biggest importers of Russian fertilizer for their massive agricultural economy while they export massive amounts of beef, pork & other meats to Russia. All this now will go either Ruble or gold.
  • If Nirmala Sitharaman is smart, she can have a chat with both Brazilian and Mexican Finance Ministers and convince them to route their payment in Rupees while selling us Reals and Pesos.
• Saudi Arabia has already started exporting oil in Yuan to China.
• South Africa, Nigeria & Angola are also considering Ruble/gold payments as they import grains, fertilizers, etc. big-time from Russia. The South African government is under public pressure to buy discounted oil from Russia under the BRICS mechanism.
• See the oil tanker tracker here: Russian Tanker Tracker

In short, Buddhan-Harris have to be very, very careful in the coming days. One more hard push and the US$ will start becoming toilet paper.

Some European countries are rationing gas and oil while grocery stores and bakeries are running empty due to grain shortages. They will not sacrifice their people for American whims as European countries are prone to violent revolts when people suffer.

Macron is already up for election this season and the last thing he wants is to hand over the crown to Marine Le Pen or Mark Zimmour, both of whom are openly sympathetic to Russia. that would crash his Napoleonic dreams of leading Europe.

Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania are already open to cooperating with Russia to stave off the shortages. Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has an ax to grind with the EU for meddling in their internal affairs.

Say whatever you want, but Vlad knows how to play this game. He's been planning this since 2014.

They don't call him the Boss Man for nothing:

Levada Center (some Russian NGO) surveyed 1600+ Russians for opinions on who they considered to be Russia's enemy or friend thus ally.

66% of those surveyed felt the USA was an enemy of Russia.
Interestingly, only 13% of those surveyed felt India was a friend/ally. Still that meager 13% managed to give India the 5th highest percentage. Russians must feel very alone.

Belarus is not surprising, they view Belorussians as brothers. Same with Armenia, they view Armenians as their historical brothers.

With China, they only talk about Chinese companies and believe it to be an economic partner. With India, it’s the same, although many bornbefore 1995 remeber Indian movies anddances

Imagine if we both went nuts on this INSTC project and connected multiple port cities and railway infrastructure across the country with this, it would be a tectonic shift from the Suez. Europe will be forced to normalize ties with Russia because trade > principles and as we can see, Europe is more concerned about energy and economy right now than dabble in American politics.

The more EU countries can reduce their logistical costs, the better their exports will fare in the Eastern world. This INSTC will also feed into the BRI, which violates our territory, but the other benefits for now are quite good. 10 countries in between benefit from this.

Apparently, IAF is planning to take drastic measures - going to indigenize stuff that is not in the contract. Basically pull a PLAAF. At least that's what an article on IDRW said.

I think the Russians are sneaking by and setting up companies with their Indian counterparts and make the parts and set up a second line of manufacturing so they can sell those parts to other countries through India. There's more to it than the eye,

Source for this? of all the three services the Imported Air Force seems least likely to do this.
I guess we do need a thrashing at war to get the uniformed class, the khadi jacket wearing class, and the "defense scientist" class to all start behaving and performing.

Ruskis should shut their holes.

Did America also force PLA to amass 100,000 troops on India's border at the peak of COVID?

Russians have no other option but to suck Chinese C*ck. They shouldn't expect similar behavior towards China by India.
