USA throws India under the bus again

[fitpOsitive]

India is taking advantage of everything the USA has, but it seems like India is not happy, never happy.

Exactly! America is so benevolent.

India has extracted over $350 billion from the US since 2000 and taken in millions of Indian immigrants.

They expect compliance in return.

Exactly! America is so benevolent.

From jobs to exports to industry shift from China to India, and India is ranting around always.

India will have to buy the expensive US crude. That's the result of being subservient.

It reminds of east India company having Indian soldiers serving Brits at frontlines of every colonial war.

India is not a puppet of the USA.

India faced US pressure over Iranian oil but continued buying it for years, stopping only in May 2019.

But take example of Pakistan, meanwhile, had already stopped Iranian petroleum imports much earlier, around 2009 due to the USA pressure.

And after 2022, despite Western pressure, India continued buying Russian oil. That shows India makes decisions based on its own strategic and economic interests—not simply US instructions.

Do you even understand what this premium is ? It's spot buying of the ' oil on the sea ' ... Indian refineries are not equipped to refine light crude , they are optimised for heavy orals crude.

Yeah.. refineries capable to refine Heavy crude can't refine Light crude. Wow very smart theory, smartest Pakistani on forum .

According to market tracking data from Kpler, India’s overall crude imports jumped 13% in September. However, the distribution among its top suppliers shifted noticeably as Indian refiners diversified their barrels: [1, 2]

• Russia (1.74 million bpd): While Russia held onto the #1 spot, its volume dipped to a five-month low. This dip was primarily caused by aggressive Chinese competition for Russian barrels and scheduled refinery maintenance. [1, 2, 3]
• Iraq (579,000 bpd) & Saudi Arabia (570,000 bpd): Middle Eastern suppliers stepped in significantly to fill the gap left by tighter Russian flows, with volumes from both nations surging compared to August. [1, 2]
• UAE (483,000 bpd) & Kuwait (333,000 bpd): Made up the remainder of India's top five primary supply channels for the month. [1]

I had made this comment 10 days back. So maintenance is not something unexpected event .

Our refineries are also running above 100% level. Need to slowdown and take some rest or something will break at wrong timing.

India’s Refineries Run at Up to 108% as Diesel Demand Surges | OilPrice.com

Indian refiners are operating above nameplate capacity and shifting production toward diesel as domestic demand rises and global middle-distillate supplies remain severely constrained.
