President Joe Biden told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that buying more oil from Russia was not in India's interest and could hamper the U.S. response to the war in Ukraine, U.S. officials said.
It's a fascinating contrast. Everyone hated Trump but at the end of the day absolutely none of the US' vassal states in Europe ever stood up to him or his admin. Now with this war, at least we have some countries in the global south telling Biden to pound sand. I love it.
