Wait, wait, wait.

Are you saying that in order to sell, someone has to buy?

Wow - you really have a **** handle on this thing, dude. Amazing.

India and China will continue to buy from Russia if it hare-lips the governor and turns Trump a different shade of orange, child.

You're one funny imbecile!
Yet, you're completely unaware of how Trump's edicts have affected Russian oil sales, so let me educate your stupid self once again:

India's state refiners halt Russian oil purchases:
Hindustan Times By HT News Desk 8/1/25

India's refiners have not purchased Russian oil for the last week, marking a dramatic turn in one of Moscow's strongest energy relationships since the onset war in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

Over the past month, India along with China and Brazil, has been at the centre of criticism from the West, for its purchase of Russian oil. Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum Corp, Bharat Petroleum Corp and Mangalore Refinery Petrochemical Ltd are the state refiners in the country that have not acquired Russian crude in the last week or so, four sources, who were aware of the refiners' buying plans, told the news agency. India, the world's third-largest oil importer, is the biggest buyer of seaborne Russian crude, a vital revenue earner for Russia. Russia, is India's leading supplier, with around 35% of India's total supplies.

Why India halted purchases of oil from Russia.
The action follows narrowing price discounts on Russian crude and renewed threats from US President Donald Trump to impose punitive tariffs on countries buying oil from Moscow, the agency reported. With discounts now at their lowest since 2022, India's economic rationale for importing from Moscow has weakened. India is substituting Russia with alternative sources to meet the supply deficit, sources said.

Indian state refiners halt Russian oil imports as US threatens penalty:
State-run refiners in India have halted Russian oil purchases in the past week due to shrinking discounts and mounting pressure from President Donald Trump's threats of tariffs and sanctions.

Beijing slams Trump's call for NATO countries to stop buying Russian oil, hit China with heavy tariffs

Britain's taken action on Russian oil trading

The US and its allies are seeking to show a firmer degree of resolve against Russia.

Britain took steps to penalize the trading of Russian oil, including a ban on 70 vessels allegedly used in its transportation. The UK also sanctioned 30 individuals and companies, included businesses based in China and Turkey, that have supplied Russia with electronics, chemicals, explosives and weapons components.

In his Saturday post, Trump said a NATO ban on Russian oil plus tariffs on China would "also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR."

He said NATO members should put heavy tariffs on China and withdraw them if there's an end to the war.

"China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia," Trump's post says, and powerful tariffs "will break that grip."

The US has already imposed a 25% import tax on goods from India, specifically for its buying of Russian energy.

So that trade talks could proceed, the US lowered its tariffs against China to a still-high 30%, while China took its rate to 10 per cent.

So genius, are you ready to give it up to Trump for the successful policy to starve Russia's revenue in order to bring them to the negotiating table to end the war? Or can we expect your insane hatred of Trump to continue unabated simply because you're a lying, uneducated moron?
