Will they scratch our backs, if we scratch theirs?

"The US doesn't want to see a 'rapid acceleration' in India's import from Russia of energy and other commodities prohibited by global sanctions regimes and there will be consequences for countries that attempt to circumvent the embargoes imposed following the invasion of Ukraine, US deputy national security adviser Daleep Singh said," HT. What "consequences"? We understand that 'Brown Sahib' has to bend his knee to his white massa, even though US President Joe Biden's cognitive decline is obvious to the world. "Earlier, about 40 Republicans demanded that Biden take a cognitive test and release the results to the public. The 79-year-old politician refused the test," BS. Singh "cautioned India against expecting Russia to come to the country's defence if China were to violate the Line of Actual Control (LAC) since Moscow and Beijing are now in a 'no limits partnership'." Then President Bill Clinton, also a Democrat imposed "tough economic sanctions" on India, BS, following tests of five nuclear weapons at Pokhran in May 1998, wikipedia. Democrat President Barack Obama supplied F16 fighter jets, night vision goggles and smart bomb equipment to Pakistan, TIE. Pakistan used those F16s and American supplied missiles to attack India in February 2019 after India hit terrorist training centers at Balakot in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, (POK), The Week. Surely, if India is not to deal with Russia because the US says so, then the US must not supply anything to Pakistan without asking India? Singh cautioned India not to expect any help from Russia if China attacks along the LAC. What sanctions did the US levy on China when Chinese soldiers brutally murdered 20 Indian soldiers in an ambush at Galwan Valley in Ladakh in March 2020? HT. Russia is offering oil at $35 discount to India. "However, it is no more opportunistic than Europe continuing to buy Russian gas more than a month into President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. India may still end uup testing US and European Union tolerance if it agrees to rupee-ruble trade using Russia's communication channel SPFS to move funds. That direct challenge to Washington will not be in Delhi's long term interest," wrote Andy Mukherjee. However, China has already said it "won't join the United States and European governments in imposing financial sanctions on Russia," abcnews. "Reportedly, China has already started building an effective alternative to CHIPS -- the Clearing House Interbank Payments System. In addition the nation is rumored to be making its own Cross Border Interbank Payments System (CIPS)," nasdaq. Biden is hell bent on reviving the nuclear deal with Iran, first signed in 2015, Politico. Biden should worry about the recent visit to Israel by the foreign ministers of Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco and UAE. "Much of what bonds these countries together is a common stance on Iran, especially as negotiations to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal reached an advanced stage," CNN. Saudi Arabia wasn't there but is known to be anti-Iran. Can Israel and Arabs together attack Iran's nuclear installations? The price of oil would zoom to over $200 per barrel and Biden would go down in history as the man who single-handedly destroyed the global, European and US economies. Will the US scratch our backs if we scratch theirs? It's only fair.
