From objective facts. Such as us increasing our oil imports from Russia.
We are importing oil because it its cheaper compared to other sources. We are not importing oil to support Russia government.
More important most oil purchase we made from Russia are pre-invasion commitments.

🤣Lol name me ONE Russian who has come out in support of India during Pulwama or Galwan
Not to forget recent Russian comments on Kashmir that were allied along Pakistani propaganda.
Not to forget how Russia is cozing up to Pakistan to form a new axis of evil PRC-Pakistan-Russia.

Russians are just jealous that their Chechen, Uzbek, Afghan mercenaries who ruthlessly slaughtered them in Afghanistan and Chechnya get eliminated yearly in Kashmir.

Russia needs money. West wants everyone to stop giving Russia money. We are buying more from Russia than we used to. This is called tacit helping. We have made post-invasion commitments to Russian oil too.

This demented idiot is going to bankrupt the country. Everything he sends
is destroyed by Russia.
I have a different thought on this.
Such acts are like a stimulant to US economy. Every time their is a war US economy expands (its like a a booster shot given to US economy).
If you look at the aid, US is not giving money but material worth 33 Billion USD, material that are manufactured in US by US companies.
It will boost US manufacturing. For a country with 16 Trillion USD GDP 33 Billion is like peanuts.

Those peanuts add up my dear.

For a $16T economy with above $30T in debt whose sole saviour from impending economic doom- the petro-dollar under threat with higher rate of inflation and increasing social spending, that $33B isn't peanuts.

Weapons and aerospace products are 2 categories that the US makes inhouse. Wars are definitely are a booster for their economy ... Wont help their common people but definitely will look good on GDP numbers.

This video is why I think the Russians are in the right here because they certainly display more empathy and compassion for other humans which Ukrainians themselves cannot display and who seem hell bent on resurrecting the Nazi regime and its atrocious practices.

Fake video.

US designs and manufactures almost all of their defense material mostly locally. Most of the sub-systems are also made locally.
They don't loose money on import of defense equipment unlike us. For them its like making investment in their MIC.

This logic works for a country like India that has hostile neighbours and is forced to import weapons.. building our own weapons and keeping money in the country increases our wealth. The US on the other hand does not need this outsized military .. It is like a building a flyover that goes nowhere.
You can argue that their military maintains the connection of dollar to energy trade but on that aspect they are happy to shoot themselves in the foot with sanctions.
