India’s decision to continue purchasing Russian oil has ‘driven the Americans crazy’

Political analyst Joe Siracusa claims Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s insistence on purchasing oil from Russia due to the cheap price has “driven the Americans crazy”.

“Nations tend to favour the economic solution to the military ones,” he told Sky News Australia.

Mr Siracusa’s remarks come after Mr Modi visited China for the first time in more than seven years, where Russia’s Vladimir Putin was also in attendance, which has sparked some questions as to how the United States may react.
