Indian refiners purchase Iranian oil, pay in yuan - The Times of India

100% They have voted to keep Mitch McConnell in the senate for over 40 years despite having no good reason to keep him there.

Unfortunately you’re right. We absolutely will.

Your country would too if they had money. You’re not special.

A lot of us knew this was bad from the start and tried to stop it but they didn't listen to us 😭

“…than shoes size…” That must be that high IQ you were talking about.

Well, it’s true. Are you too dense to understand?

I've gone out when I have been able to. So many people just don't care, they don't even try to come up with excuses. It's so defeating and makes me angry, but those of us trying have to keep trying. I have a debilitating medical disorder and have pushed myself to go out countless times now. Saying an entire population/race/people/whatever is responsible for something can be extremely dangerous thinking when applied to many scenarios, in my opinion. There's absolutely a large portion of the population that is responsible and voted for him, 100%, but that discredits those that are actually pushing for change. Just because that change has not happened does not mean there aren't people trying to get that change to happen.

Must be nice to feel superior for doing nothing at all, not even the attempting the most basic understanding of the reality Americans live in. GFY

We've led 2 of the largest marches in American history? What the f*** are you smoking?

You don’t know that. You don’t even live in the US. You go to Listnook for your news. Stay in your sphere of ignorance. It’s not like you’re doing anything about it. It’s the whole globe’s problem and what are you doing other than complaining on Listnook? Exactly. Not a damn thing.

I agree they are. I’ve never said every Russian is an idiot for electing Putin. I know there is a lot more behind it. You’re just generalizing everyone which is the same issue you’re complaining that Americans do. However, if I voted for Harris, then calling me an idiot saying I elected Trump is just not true. If someone came down the road speeding and swerved around your car pulling out of the driveway, smashing into another car. Do we blame the person speeding down the road or the person who was pulling out of the driveway? You had no control over someone speeding and crashing. So don’t say it’s my fault for electing him when I didn’t want him.

So the alternative you suggest is that we let America burn it as they are doing right now ?

That only holds if the superpower is responsible  At this stage Americans have shown us they just want to be the ones doing the burning

Yes. Like what they've been doing for decades in many part of the world. About time they experience the same thing they keep doing to others.

That wouldn't demonstrate BRICS is the driving force behind tariffs and wars or that they've been causing chaos

Not sure what the article is talking about. You can see by [open trade data](https://oec.world/en/profile/country/irn) that India was the destination of nearly 10% of Iran's exports in 2023 and a much higher share of Iran's energy exports (coke, oil, and LPG).

>The sanctions impose trade penalties on those violating them, they don't require military force to enact. Economic threats are more or less bogus if you don't have hard power. If you want to convince me otherwise then find me an instance when EU imposed sanctions on some middle economy country. If India and China together stop medicine supplies due to US imposing sanctions on them, what happens then? Does US have the economy to absorb the price shock or the military might to get BRICS to bend the knee? US needs to understand that it is not 1990s. US applied tariffs on China, China blocked rare earths, multiple F35s without radar now, US had to step back after theatrics.. My point was that US is picking fights across all middle economies including its so called allies. If we add up the economies of all of those economies, it will be bigger than US, so, all of them getting together to deal economically with each other is just a easy solution. I'm more concerned about a hurt mad lion lashing out militarily when economic theatrics fail. As US military has been slowly declining, they don't have the power. US is one wrong war away from the dismantling the invincibility halo in most people's head. US can't endure another Vietnam. Note: The above is a hypothetical as India China have their differences but if after World War Germany and France can get together to form EU and under the NATO umbrella then we can't reject any hypothetical with hand waving. When US imposed tariffs on India, there were voices in India who considered to make a deal with China and allow it passed through India into the Arabian sea, effectively giving it another leg in belt and road. So, anything can happen.

Yeah, no self awareness. 

That’s a fair point! Yeah construction didn’t begin in earnest until several decades later while at the same time, new technologies made the project more viable (or changing politics made the downsides less of a concern.) I wasn’t intending to say it took 100 years to build. That is sort of my point too though, which is, countries that have been around for a long time can make slow changes today that will make more sense in the future. My main point is that the US needs to stop acting like an angsty teenager that spends all day online and thinks it knows everything, while really only having the ability to shit its own bed as a threat… sincerely, someone who doesn’t want to be the clean up crew.

The full buildout for the Three Gorges Dam (1994–2012) took three times as long as Hoover because it is 6x longer and used 10x more concrete. It also generates 10x the power. Entering a pissing competition with China over infrastructure building is certainly a choice.

1 Why did you only answer one of my questions and ignore the rest? Maybe everyone can think about why that is. 2 Plus, the answer you gave to that one question is still pretty much the same as your original one, and the logic is still flawed. 3 I guess we’re on different levels. You’re way too advanced for me, and I don’t think I’m qualified to talk to you. I don’t want to waste your time, so I’ll leave it at that.

Bruh Iran has not been using USD for oil sales since 2007. Literal nothing burger article. You people are so gullible

Iran is asking payment in **Yuan** not in INR₹ , **L**.
