The other problem with milk in the US is that they sell things like non-fat, 1%, 2% milk which people think is healthy. However, contrary to expectations, they are not. When you remove butter fat from milk then the milk does not taste good at all and the US dairy companies add something else - sugar water and other ingredients. Even regular milk has other additives which are dubious in nature. A1 milk is not good for those who are lactose intolerant, those who are not still have issues. Milk drinking in the US hikes up blood glucose levels.

All cheese making in the US use rennet an enzyme from the stomach of cows. This is a meat product. So all cheeses on pizza are effectively meat based. Even the tomato sauce has beef stew or chicken stew in them. Most products in the US are meat based and getting a vegetarian base is quite hard.

I don’t get it: the oil demand doesn’t go away magically by putting in tariffs. If EU joins in, doesn’t crude just become more expensive for everyone including EU? Indian crude consumption is not insignificant…

What does India do if EU do decide to join in? I wonder if they would have so many exemptions that the impact would be small…

We are just being made examples of. Trump won’t dare tariff China.

Tanaji saar,


EU was surviving on russian crude that was imported and processed by India which then exported petrol, diesel, and ATF to the EU at reasonable prices, until the stooopide euroschumucks decided to rock the boat by pissing India off. They raked up the issue of India buying russian crude and how immoral it was for the war in UKR. They gave India till december to stop the import, all the while they were importing massive amounts of oil and gas from the same russian sources.

They also sanctioned the nyara refinery at vadinar because rosneft had a 49% stake in it

You have to remember that these are all ex colonialists who think that they "know" how to deal with the India that was once colonized by them. They forgot that this was the new India

India has since diverted this stable supply chain to markets in cheen and africa, leaving these smug euroswine literally reeling.

This was not how they had gamed it

Their alternate is expensive trump oil shipped from the you ess

trumpwa will not dare sanction cheen because they already taught him a very bitter lesson by shutting down the REE pipeline.

I think the Europeans will eventually join US and put secondary sanctions on us. Isolating Russia did not work. They are unable to isolate China. They will try isolating India next. How many countries will stand with us? Will Russia stand with us? Will China? China stood with Russia because they know they are next. India did not go all out against China for the same reason. Will China return the favour?

What will Brazil, BRICS and other south - south countries do when the US signs trade deals with them and try to isolate India? Will the coalitions India built last or is it every man for himself?

The unspoken thing in the international diplomatic community-- nobody, but nobody is happy with Trump's penchant for tariffs. It is a threat to governments, industries, multinational corporations, and stock markets alike.
...
India will remember who stood with it and who with Trump in these trying years. Other countries know this.

But the west seems to think it's all or nothing. The only way to live in this world is by ruling it or not live at all. The west is as irrational as the pakis.

One of the things to understand about India-US relations and how much US values its relationship with India is that US still does not have an Ambassador for India after 6 months of the TanTrump administration.

It was the same situation during the first couple of years of previous admin, to be fair to Biden, you cannot blame him. His advisors liberally using the Robopen probably forgot as well.

I don't buy American cheese. I only eat European made cheese which these days has gotten quite expensive.
Interestingly in most grocery stores American "cheese" like kraft or whatever are in a separate area from imported cheese .

I think the next target will be the Indian pharma industry - this will be under guise of India not respecting patents and a demand that India outlaw forced patenting (even though it has been rarely used). Trump has threatened US pharma with pegging them to MFN status unless they reduce prices.

There will be blowback to Indian pharma at some point. It doesn’t matter what percentage of US medicines we supply- US pharma already doesn’t like generics - they will pay off Trump to target Indian pharma

A lot of American cheese would not be legally called cheese in EU
