Reply to comment by HouseOfSteak in US to renew efforts to reduce India's oil, military 'dependency' on Russia by Falls_stuff

The US is acting neutral in India vs Pakistan by supplying weapons and aid to both sides.

But it is expecting India to act pro-US in the US vs Russia when India is neutral.

To me, it seems the US is expecting far too much for offering far too little. And also anyway, most of the US things you mentioned there were bought by India (as in it was traded, not aided).

It's not so much "pro US" as "pro geopolitical stability". When nations just start annexing each other willy-nilly it becomes vastly more difficult to have stable world trade. The point is to demonstrate to anyone else with similar ideas (China) that they risk becoming an economic pariah on the world stage.

Currently India is undermining that object lesson and, instead, demonstrating that there will always be some nation willing to trade with the aggressor regardless of how heinous their crimes.
