India versus United States

[Charles-Tim]

Trump has been try to deal with countries that are parts of BRICS. They one that I know recently is Nigeria and India. The United States government has badmouthed Nigeria recently but using some facts, telling their citizens to reconsider visiting Nigeria that the country is full of insecurity. It also limits the United States Visa for Nigerians from 2 years (and up to 5 years in some cases) to 3 months. Then make unnecessary move of telling Nigerians that no Visa will be given to those that have intention of coming to their country to give birth. Nigeria is not a BRICS member but a BRICS partner. I knew there is a reason the tariffs for Nigeria is 14% because I thought he might even increased it more.

That is not the reason I created this topic. The main reason I created this topic is that he increased the import tariff to 25% for any goods coming from India. We know the reason but he later said the reason. He said India is importing Russian oil that they are buying oil the country that is killing people. I hope you saw what is presently happening in Gaza right now. The world are really now against what Israel is doing in Gaza, but United States is still supporting them kind of.

According to what I read not quite long, European countries have not finally stopped importing from Russia, some of the countries still import energy from Russia. Also it was reported that United States is still importing uranium, chemicals and fertilizers from Russia. But United States only want Europe to also import from Russia and no other countries. What is going on in the world.

Edit:
50% tariff in total on India. 25% for trade while the other 25% for India buying oil from Russia.

I learnt that of recent, new countries were added to join BRICS but am not sure if Nigeria was part of them, do you have any clue on that.

US is known for something, when they see that your country has great potentials, then they go by bullying at, then followed by digging upon its history to find our about something they can use against the country, so that this will not be a direction opposition, but the way they will both come top reason and aligned making deals together in assisting and covering for each other, so that through such, they can lure in and enter into the country and explore more about its abundant resources.

This is clearly double standard. The U.S. imports from Russia but punishes other countries for doing the same. We’re living in a world where the powerful make the rules.

BRICS has members and partners. The members include Brasil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Iran. While partners has countries like countries are: Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Türkiye, Uganda, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. Nigeria is a partner nation and not a member country.

Most of India's major oil suppliers have been taken over by some European nations due to the sanctions on Russia. Indian economy will face severe consequences if they stop buying oil from Russia. The US would have given India a long time to seek alternative supplies. This is clear hypocrisy, the US buy from Russia but they claim that India's purchase is used to finance war.

Unfortunately, the world is run by hypocritical politicians. They don’t even care about the blatant inconsistencies in foreign policy as long as their interests are served.

The policies of the United States are such that anyone who speaks out against the interests of that country will be punished, especially since Trump as second term president. This kind of possibility has been increasing. A two pronged policy in a country, while that country is reducing financial aid from many countries and imposing tariffs on them, citing human rights and security threats. As Israel has imposed war on Gaza, the US government has been giving them more weapons and sending more weapons to shoot starving people when they come to receive aid, but in that case human rights advocates have been silent and disappointingly silent.

Only by being a member of BRICS, there is an unbalanced tariff policy on those countries. Many countries in Europe, including India, have been importing oil and other goods from Russia for a long time, but Trump has targeted India. If oil imports from Russia are not stop, there is a possibility of doubling the tariff level.

Very hypocritical and to anyone who has a sober non-corrupted mind from the Western Propaganda machine clearly knows how fucked up US policies are to other foreign "partners"

In fact, just look at the war in the Middle East, they are the ones fueling it, they are the direct suppliers of the arms, and yet they are the same people trying to threaten other Countries like Iran that try to defend themselves.

[Dunamisx]

We proclaimed we all line in a modern world where freedom is given and everyone having his right to speak  for what he wants,  but is that the same condition of what we have in reality.

It's abnormal for a country to have abundant natural resources and think of what is next is to be under the subject of the foreign Nations such a way that they dictate on what to do and how to go about doing things.

[passwordnow]

It should be out of Trump's jurisdiction whether India buys oil from Russia or from any other country that's rich in it. But this is how he retaliate so that the countries that are patronizing their opposing countries will be punished with larger tariffs. I wonder if these tariffs are going to take long and for US to see if they'll benefit from it. Maybe they will but once these alliances like BRICS have made the decision to shoo USA, it'll surely feel that action. But as of now, it's acting while it can. Too many countries that it has imposed these tariffs as if they're friends to all. Even Canada that it has a long ties with, didn't like these tariff acts.

As long as you are not in submission to the US for them to extort and control you in a humble way, they will always look for a way to turn around and come out openly to forcefully oppress and intimidate you, because they are more powerful than that country. I call this action abuse of power. The US is currently, against the BRICS nations.
