The point is we're squeezing from lots of directions.

That wasn't the point you made in your prior post. You were trying to claim you were right about the tariffs. But that's wrong, if you look at what happened:

Trump imposes punitive tariffs on India last summer because they import Russian oil.

Dope: We have leverage on India, so I think these tariffs will work to force India to reduce their Russian oil imports.

Albaby: I think that's wrong. I think punishing an ally like India with that ultimatum won't work, and might even drive them closer to the Sino-Russia sphere.

India then proceeds to spend the rest of the year not only maintaining their Russian oil imports, but actually increasing them to a near-term record high through November 30.

Towards the end of the year, OFAC imposes new sanctions on Russian oil companies, causing Indian imports to fall in December for reasons entirely other than the tariffs.

Dope: See! I told you tariffs would work!
