    Yes. This is hot on the heels of the US punishing Brazil and attempting to split them off of BRICS. Come to think of it, the recent bullshit of giving Boers asylum may also be aimed at disrupting BRICS.

    India is not likely in an economic position to tell the US to go pound sand, nor do I think they are likely to fully cave. They will attempt to thread the needle, but doing so will require some harm to Russian interests.

      Indian economy is not dependent on exports to USA. Losing the whole trade would hurt but not as much as ruining the time tested friendship with Russia.
