The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Trump, writing in an Aug. 6 executive order, said India’s government is “currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.” “Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent,” the executive order states. Last week, the president announced a 25 percent tariff against India, one of the largest U.S. trading partners. Additionally, India would face another penalty over its purchases of Russian energy and military equipment.Of course China buys even more Russian oil, and even turkey buys a large amount. So why is President Trump going after India, and not Turkey. Obviously he has already significantly adjusted tariffs on Chinese products. Or even the EU, which imports refined products from India, in a transparent attempt to evade sanctions on Russia. Yeah...that sounds nutty, but such is the hypocrisy of Europe. How much Russian oil does India buy?
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, India became the biggest buyer of Russian crude due to the diversion of traditional supplies to Europe, which officials in New Delhi said was a “necessity compelled by global market situation”. In that first year, India imported as much as two million barrels a day of Russian oil, accounting for roughly 2 per cent of global supply. China and Turkey were the other major buyers. In 2023, at the same time as India’s import of Russian crude oil more than doubled year-on-year, its export of refined crude to the EU grew to a record level. [bolding mine]
So the EU is going balls-to-the-wall in its support of Ukraine against Russia, and would dearly love American boots on the ground. At the same time they are buying Russian crude that is partially refined in India, and which pumps much-needed foreign currency into the Russian economy. Increasing the tariffs on India makes sense, but it is clearly only part of the picture, and risks driving India away from America and into the waiting arms of China. India has already said that they would continue to buy Russian oil, but there are real economic repercussions, which suggests that India will ask for more of a discount from Russia. Putin's intransigence with respect to the Trump-driven negotiations are driving these economic blows, and while Russia's economy was doing okay, recently it has shown significant slowing. Can Putin weather this storm, or will he be forced to be more accommodating at the ceasefire talks? Who knows? But the negotiations are unlike most others, because Russia is a nuclear power, and Putin has already threatened, through his subordinates, to use tactical nuclear weapons. That's all the more reason to keep our troops out, and to allow Europe to take the lead in supplying Ukraine. Or...a pox on all of their houses!

It's insane trying to stop a valuable internationally traded commodity from being traded, short of an explicit military blockade (which would be an act of war).
You can impose some additional costs on the Russians, as they search for third-parties to put disguised Russian oil into the world market, but you can't stop it completely.

Unlikely. The Indians hate the Chinese, and v.v. In the old days, post-WWII, when India was playing the "non-aligned" nation game with China, they were willing to pretend they liked each other, but they no longer are. They view themselves as locked in a mortal contest with China, and there can really be only one winner.
China is its own worst enemy. They manage to alienate absolutely everyone.

It's almost as if the world is full of nations and people who act in their own near term self-interest as opposed to acting for the "greater good", or what's moral or even in their own longer term interest in many cases.
Does this mean humans are inherently corrupt, short sighted and mostly immoral?
And if so, what are the longer term implications of that?

I bet it's a lot easier to trace when you have a network of global satellites watching every port and pipeline and you know which countries are actually producing oil at scale. It's not like India is getting oil from Botswana, there are only a few sources.

India will not align with either side, since it views itself as a mover and shaker in its own right. They will do what is good for them, so it's incumbent on us to make sure doing what we want is the best thing for them. It sounds like Trump is trying to do that. However, that won't make India and China friends. India's military has two concerns: Pakistan and China.

Ukraine is less than half that ($21,000).
One of the main reasons why Ukraine has not been accepted into the EU is the assumption that much of the remaining labor force in Ukraine would decamp for Western Europe, given the opportunity.

And if so, what are the longer term implications of that?
Posted by: proudvastrightwingguy at August 07, 2025 11:10 AM (Ovc06)
Humans are inherently corruptible. Most people have a price.
Humans tend to have short term thinking. That's why they'll go into debt for bullshit.
Humans tend to have morals but the morals that others have aren't, necessarily, the ones you have. If, for example, you believe that you're born into a distinct caste which you cannot escape during your life it produces a different morality than we all arose from ooze and there's no meaning behind anything.
Recognize these things and act accordingly. As for the long term implications... YOLO, baby!

Pakistan is a visceral, cultural hatred. And it will go hot eventually. And that might be good for the world. A western-adjacent country kicking the snot out of a Muslim country with nukes? That would be one hell of a slap in the face to Islam.

How much better would life be for the EU without Ukraine?
EU-types are mocking Hungary for having the lowest per-capita income in the EU ($49,000 using purchasing power parity).
Ukraine is less than half that ($21,000).
One of the main reasons why Ukraine has not been accepted into the EU is the assumption that much of the remaining labor force in Ukraine would decamp for Western Europe, given the opportunity.

However, despite sanctions, the U.S. continues to import some strategic materials from Russia. These include enriched uranium (valued at about $596 million in early 2025) and palladium (around $502 million), both of which are essential for nuclear power and catalytic converters, respectively. These items are exempt from full sanctions due to a lack of alternative global suppliers and national security considerations.

India has for my entire lifetime been a Russian pet; starting with the "Non-aligned Movement" and continuing through to the BRICS nonsense.
They bought almost exclusively Russian goods, weapons, and took direction from Moscow while pretending to be fair to all. They are a socialist shithole that still manages to have a severe caste system.
Good points: Are relatively close to Diego Garcia so we won't have a long plane ride to bomb them when the time comes.

India has relatively little domestic oil and they consume way more than they produce. I don't blame India for acting as a middleman for Russia to the EU. It was just a few months ago the leadership of this country was encouraging them to do it.
Energy prices have been skyrocketing in the EU since the start of this war and the corrupt Biden administration and the equally corrupt leadership of the EU had to keep the EU in the war.
It's not like they were going to get the oil from us under Biden.

If you want to crush the Russian economy, drive the price of oil and LNG down by doing everything possible to increase fossil fuel production in the United States.
The purpose of "crush(ing) the Russian economy" isn't the saving of Ukraine. Ukraine could have saved itself by agreeing to stop killing the ethnic Russians in SE Ukraine. The purpose is to enable the west to destroy Russia for the greater glory of GloboHomo.
The EU isn't funding both sides in the war because they give a flying fuck about Ukrainians.

India’s response is expected and mirrors the defensive posture seen in rising economies facing U.S. pressure. Trump's tariff threats are part of a broader protectionist agenda.

If you want the Ukraine war to end, shitcan Zelensky. He was imposed on Ukraine by the Kalorama Kommie Krowd, and without him, the war would end. Yes, Ukraine would lose the Russian-occupied areas. Tough shit.

India's military has two concerns: Pakistan and China.
Posted by: Archimedes at August 07, 2025 11:13 AM (Riz8t)
Agreed. Pakistan is the big one though. How would China invade India? Over the Himalayas?
Pakistan is a visceral, cultural hatred. And it will go hot eventually. And that might be good for the world. A western-adjacent country kicking the snot out of a Muslim country with nukes? That would be one hell of a slap in the face to Islam.
India has had local spats with the Chinese in the Himalaya, but the big one would be if India seals off the oil routes from the Persian Gulf through the Malacca Strait to China. It would be relatively easy to do, and would devastate the Chinese economy.

OTOH, he's in constant terror that someone will be seen as competent and the mobs will come for him with pitchforks.
On the gripping hand, he was recently re-elected in a landslide which even western intelligence agencies concur was legit.

Eva Longoria tried to leave America behind over its immigration policies — but now she's facing a new crisis abroad, as her adopted home country of Spain enforces its own controversial crackdown.

Since then, the actress — who splits her time between Mexico and Spain with husband José Bastón and their 7-year-old son Santiago — has remained outspoken about U.S. policy from afar, even taking to Instagram as recently as June to slam Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation raids sweeping across U.S. cities.
In a tearful selfie video, she called the operations 'un-American' and 'cruel.'
But now, a town in Spain — the very country she chose as a safe haven — has sparked outrage by banning Muslims from using public facilities to celebrate religious festivals deemed 'alien' to local identity.

There are other, less accessible routes, to be sure, but combine a closure of the SoM with other potential choke points, and you can understand why China is so concerned, and is actively seeking other routes, some of them over land.

I'm free to ignore their priests and by their own admission there will be no consequences.
But you cannot ignore their Commandment or literally Hitler will get elected and women and POCs will be murdered in the streets.
Mostly their priests just shriek about that.

A little over a month ago Sen. Grassley sent a letter to Bondi and Kash with detaling a number of things his committees investigation has dug up about Russia collusion and the weaponization of the DOJ. Giardina had a prominent place in that letter.
We finally have a DOJ/FBI that is taking these referrals seriously.

On January 31, 2025, as part of a planned mass termination of federal law enforcement officials under the second Trump administration, the FBI under Driscoll was ordered to fire eight senior executives and compile a list of potentially thousands of other employees involved in investigations stemming from the January 6 United States Capitol attack, closely linked to Donald Trump. Driscoll said that the list of such employees included himself and acting deputy director Kissane. The order came from Emil Bove, a former criminal defense attorney for Trump who became the Trump administration's acting Deputy Attorney General. Driscoll refused to endorse the effort to purge agents and pushed back "so forcefully that some FBI officials feared he would be dismissed." Driscoll was lauded in a message widely circulated among FBI personnel.

Further, on April 29, 2025, I sent a letter to you highlighting the political weaponization by the FBI
against Peter Navarro.3 In that letter I made public FBI emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution
of Navarro. These communications provide a behind-the-scenes snapshot of some of the actions taken by the
FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress and obstruction. The
emails show that Special Agent (SA) Walter Giardina played a significant role in the investigation and ultimate
prosecution of Navarro.4 My office has also been informed that SA Giardina was involved in Arctic Frost,
Crossfire Hurricane, Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation, which he received an award for the latter, as well
as the Dan Scavino, Roger Stone, and Hillary Clinton cases.

It's a seismically active area, and I expect that there is relative movement between Sicily and the Italian mainland. Not a good idea. Think outside the box. How about a captive dirigible ferry? Dirigible large enough to haul half a dozen semi-trucks, or an equal mass of cars, tethered to a slack cable that spans the strait. Enough helium in the gas bags to be positively buoyant at full load. Ballast tanks to be filled with seawater if it needs to travel at less than full load. Hauled to and fro by winches on each side. Basically an aerial analog to a cable ferry on a river.

While I'm sure a few especially dickless Zs have brought parents, there's no way it's as high as 77%. That would mean it would be very rare to interview a Z without their parent.

Maybe that's what they're referring to -- having the parent accompany them to the site, but not sitting in on the interview itself.

No doubt. And car/foot passenger ferries, too, right? But a captive dirigible ferry would not need to have its terminals right on the coast. They could be on high ground, inland a little way.

I don't even want them on my computer. At least when I get an Indian call center, there's a better chance that they understand what I'm asking. Clankers string together words that seem to make sense and refuse to answer something if they have restrictions programmed in.

I've been through the Straits of Messina numerous times. Besides the earthquake risks, there is a lot of bad weather there than can hurt lighter than air freighters.
Earthquake risks can be engineered for, with enough money. Straight line winds are harder to deal with in a blimp or dirigible.

A bridge would be awesome. The ferry is meh (we have done it several times) and taking the train involves a ferry, too. A bridge would be fabulous.
