Humor me -- different how? India should ignore US support of a nation that sends terrorists to target their civilans... but should proactively care about a war happening thousands of miles from them? That too, to the extent that the entire country shifts to a much more expensive source of fuel, burning bridges with their longtime ally... I don't really see why they should do that. Edit: Rephrased my point to be argumentative instead of accusatory

  > different how? Constantly disputed since the partition of India. > India should ignore US support of a nation that sends terrorists to target their civilans... but should proactively care about a war happening thousands of miles from them? Straw man. India should care about both. Get the US to pressure Pakistan and ensure the US knows the expense of not buying Russian oil and that is covered by tariffs. I still think India is better off choosing to make iPhones than buying Russian oil.

  Your longterm ally supports the pakistans off other harrassed democracies and is actively taking territory. Its allied to india simply on divide and Conquer algorithmic terms. Then again the us is decaying down to this and its exterior policies were defined by whatever piggy ran down the headlines at home.

Really. India looks like a standard harassed by imperialist, genocidal islam scenario to me? Sudan, Nigeria , israel, Indonesia, Pakistan, syria, Bangladesh , the pattern is always the same. Its just invisible to western eyes, because of the built in biases.
