Allowed 😂😂😂 … Does usa have power to stop india from buying russian oil

[@user-mk2op4ez7z]

Yes, yes it does.

[@anoniem4899]

They been begging Bharat multiple times not to buy Russian oil. Bharat wiped that request under their foot, especially because Europe keeps buying from Russia too. And because Russia is no enemy of Bharat. U.S. sees Bharat as a major counter-force/ partner against China in the region. NATO (U.S. led) even pro-actively extended NATO membership to Bharat, something that most countries have to beg for. Bharat refused. I hope this provides some perspectives on why the U.S. has nothing on Bharat.

[@syamalghosh2976]

Also could ask this person garcetti if US allowed China to buy Russian crude oil using Yuan and not petrodollars. US advocates free trade by telling other countries whom they can trade with. Perfect example of free trade.
