A US decision to remove newly implemented sanctions on Russian oil purchased from India is an abomination that benefits Russia to the detriment of both America and our ally, Ukraine.
The sanction relief proposal aims to curb high oil prices as a consequence of the Iran war. However, this proposal coupled with skyrocketing oil prices will boost Russia’s oil revenues so they can continue their genocidal war in Ukraine. It also sets the stage for further relief for Moscow. By helping Russia, America is sabotaging its own interests, having spent $188 billion to help Ukraine defeat Russia.

Just as Russia’s economy was on the verge of collapsing, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessentt erroneously assessed “the financial impact for Russia as minimal.”
If this is true then why are Kremlin officials cheering? It lends the appearance that America is rescuing Russia’s economy to the detriment of not only Ukraine, but America as well. Moreover, the proposal came right after Russia provided targeting intelligence to Iran. It is unconscionable that Washington would consider rewarding Russia for helping Iran amid evidence that Russia may be culpable for the deaths of seven US serviceman.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has stated that the deaths of these US serviceman resulted from a powerful “Iranian weapon.” He also stated that “Russia and China are not really a factor.” This dismissal of Russia’s culpability miscalculates Russia and Iran’s powerful axis of evil. They have increasingly traded financial and military favors coupled with satellite imagery intelligence and drone targeting strategies so Iran can strike at Americans and their allies – just as Russia has been striking at Ukrainians.
