As soon as the words fell, the Indian freighter was attacked, and this slap in the face came too quickly!
Two days ago, India publicly announced that in response to the Houthi attack on merchant ships and to demonstrate its superpower status, India intends to send an escort fleet to the Red SeaWhat is surprising is that India's voice has not yet cooled down, and its own cargo ship here has been attacked by the Houthis in Yemen, which is simply inappropriate for India!
According to the reference news network, citing AFP Washington on December 24, the United States said on the 23rd that an Indian-flagged oil tanker in the Red Sea reported that it was hit by an attack drone launched by Houthi militants in Yemen. The tanker sent a distress signal to a US ** ship in the area.
It is no wonder that India has been hotly discussing the issue of sending troops to escort the country in the past few days, and it turned out to involve its own business. As we all know, since the Russian-Ukrainian war, India has sold a large number of Russia's low-priced ** to Europe through re-exports, using its unique geopolitical advantages and the so-called non-aligned movement as a guise to make a lot of war profits.
According to the statistical analysis of relevant sources, as many as 10 fully loaded oil tankers arrive at Indian refineries from Russia every day, which is equivalent to nearly 2 million barrels per day**, and India's oil orders in Russia have increased 22 times in 2022, with a net profit of $3 billion per month. Although the EU senior ** frequently accuses India of such behavior as extremely immoral and shameful, it still can't stop India's impulse to make money!
As the saying goes, there is no ism, only business!India's business is hurting at this moment, and this is absolutely not allowed. Previously, Indian fans confidently sighed: Yemen should not try to provoke India, and now the slap in the face is too fast!So how exactly will India respond now, and whether it has an idea, let's wait and see!
The Houthis have banned Israeli ships from navigating the Red Sea
