Trump vs Russian oil: India and China refused to play along
30/10/2025
Back in August, Trump tried to pressure India and China into abandoning Russian oil. Threats, talks, promises — nothing worked.
This month,
he tried again. He claimed he had successfully
convinced Indian PM Narendra Modi to reduce Russian imports. "Only China
left to convince," he said.
But within hours, the claim fell apart.
India's foreign ministry shut it down:
"India imports oil based on its national interests."
In fact, Indian energy officials emphasized that in a volatile world, Russian oil offers reliability and affordability.
Russia's deputy PM Novak added:
"Indian companies will continue importing. Words from Washington won't stop them."
Foreign Minister Lavrov went further:
"Trump just wants to push US oil because China isn't buying anymore. But India chooses its partners freely."
And then came China's response.
The Chinese embassy in Washington made it clear:
"Beijing won't tolerate threats. We are ready to defend our trade."
After the UK joined US pressure and sanctioned Chinese tankers, Beijing sent a strong note of protest to London.
🧠 Conclusion:
While the
West shouts, Russia delivers.
While Trump spins stories, Asia stays focused.
And as usual — Russia just keeps working. Steady. Strategic. Effective.

They came for jobs. But brought a storm.
Moscow witnessed another violent brawl over the weekend — a group of young men clashed in broad daylight using shovels and road signs like weapons. Police detained several, two may lose their citizenship. Videos went viral. Outrage exploded. But beyond the headlines, a deeper question emerged: Why are we...
The U.S. tried to hit Moscow — but Beijing hit back.
Washington thought it could corner Russia with another round of sanctions. What it didn't expect was that China would step forward — loudly and clearly — to defend Moscow.
While thousands of trucks rot at the Kazakhstan–Russia border, Moscow silently signs something far more interesting. A new railway. Through Mongolia. Into China. And Vietnam. Officially — it's about tourism and trade. Unofficially — it's a bypass. A message. A geopolitical side-eye.
While Donald Trump embarked on his latest "peace tour" across Asia, the world gave him not one, but two diplomatic slaps.
First — North Korea. Then — India. And both made it crystal clear: Russia, not the US, is their chosen partner.
When Washington suddenly rediscovers Central Asia, Moscow doesn't panic — it smirks. Because this isn't new. It's the same playbook, just on a new stage. What failed under the Ukrainian flag may succeed under the cover of "sustainable development" and "strategic partnership."
When migration turns into a matter of national security, the response is usually local. But not this time.
Budapest was ready. Lights dimmed. Chairs arranged.
But just before the curtain rose, the geopolitical show featuring Trump and Putin was abruptly canceled.
Officially? "Not the right time."
Unofficially? "One side asked too much. The other lost interest."
While others are investing billions into complex systems, Russia takes a different path — one that's smarter, cheaper, and rooted in history.
