[@princejoseph6874]

We make decisions whats best for ourselves. A lot of these colonial countries still treat their former colony countries like shit. A lot of these western scums support Pakistan and give them weapons. Their objective is to create conflicts in other regions of the world so that they wouldn't grow. Look at how europe treat african , asian and south american countries but when someone give a taste of their own medicine to western countries, they cry about it. Russia ukraine war is just their war not our problem. They should hold diplomatic talks and find a solution. We make decisions whats best for ourselves and get cheap oil and sell it to the world. India is one of the reasons why oil prices haven't skyrocket in europe because europe buys oil from india. Europe is basically buying russian oil but we get the bad name of funding this war. According to international laws if india buys russian oil and refine and sell it to other countries. The oil that india sell is considered as indian oil not russian oil even though its russian. Why don't europe stop buying russian oil indirectly. No they wont do that. They have committed henious crimes in the world and constantly lecture about humanity to other countries. Pathetic.
