America says jump india asks how high

India has yet to offer up its bases for US arm forces.

Our Foreign minister is a Muslim right now.

And most Muslims in India support Pakistan in cricket matches.

We're paying money for Iranian oil, and getting Iranian oil.

The USA was forced to give us a "wavier" on sanctions anyway, since they knew we weren't going to stop buying Iranian oil, and that any financial sanctions the USA put on us would hurt them more than it would hurt us.

Considering things like this:

Hillary Clinton pleads with China to buy US Treasury bonds - Telegraph

When Hillary Clinton is pleading for us to lend them more money, then how are they supposed to put financial sanctions on us?

This is true. US has no need to put the waiver exception on China. It would happen without saying as US has no capability of sanctioning China thanks to all the spending liberals we have in the white house and capital in the last 25 years.

If Iranians accept Yuan and your banks have no problem in transferring the fund, then why are you also slashing oil imports from Iran.

Until US has no need for China to buy T-bonds, than US would never sanction China in regard to trade with Iran.

Read the BBC source I posted, it said the cause was haggling over price.

And your source only says "may".

The real question though, is why is India cutting Iranian oil exports the most, even though they have a waiver from the USA?

Funny chinese jumping around like monkeys in a thread about India and Iran with their fake sympathies for Iran and lust for their oil at sanction ridden cheap rates.

India has yet to offer up its bases for US arm forces.

And most Muslims in India support Pakistan in cricket matches.

You know how many Indian Muslims play for the Indian cricket team numbskull? you are an idiot trying to besmirch their patriotism and love for their own country.

as for US bases come and jump around when that happens until then shut it.

Read again, your imports from Iran are down by 21 %

Beijing opposes the U.S. and European sanctions on Iran and views them as unilateral moves made outside a United Nations framework. Even so, last year China cut imports from Iran by 21 percent versus 2011 to 438,448 bpd.

The real question though, is why is India cutting Iranian oil exports the most, even though they have a waiver from the USA?

Th waiver is dependent on decreasing oil imports from Iran...to get enough time to reconfigure refineries processing Iran crude to adjust to other grades. You are also slashing imports to get US waiver.

Officials in Iran's top customer China, which cut its oil imports by 3 percent from the previous waiver period, also expect to have their country's waiver renewed.

The BBC source already explained it was due to price haggling between China and Iran, and it is no longer a concern.

China now buys the vast majority of Iranian oil exports, and it is going up every month.

Would India vote on Iran's side or America's side in the UN?

What part of 'retain US waiver' that you do not understand. Can you post any source that shows China's imports are increasing from Iran in 2013.

Our Side.

Our Side.

India does not have a side. The two sides are US/Western and Soviet/China. India will be distrusted by both if it does not choose a side.

...........more like pakistan/north korea/china alliance .....

And Russia would soon be part of that. US do not trust Russia and China. As a result, these two countries will come closer together, as you can see now. Unless the US change its mind, that is how the world is shaped.

India has not sided with anyone since independence unlike say a country like China who had sided with USSR or USA since 1971/72 or Russia in the more recent times trying to strengthen the SCO. It has only provided issue based support to various countries. But that does not mean that the countries do not trust India. Russia has trusted India as seen by Russian help in several defense related projects. Likewise US has brought India out of the nuclear isolation.

But that trust has its limitations. Would Russia trust India with everything on PAKFA? Or that India would not side with US against Russia in UN? I don't think so because India is trying to have one foot on one side and another foot on another. The result would be haphazard foreign policy that is inconsistent. This just make India a untrustworthy country.

India is not in a rush to align itself in an absolute manner with a particular country. The day it decides it needs something from a particular country it will decide on aligning with that country and history shows that. For example, India was ambivalent in its relationship with USA and USSR since independence but when it felt it needed the diplomatic support in UNSC in 1971 after it decided to intervene in the Bangladesh, it signed the friendship treaty with USSR in Aug of that year and the result? USSR vetoed the US resolution in the first week of Dec 1971 asking both India and Pakistan to stop the Indo-Pakistan war. The end result is a stunning Indian victory in 3 weeks.

Russia has provided Nuclear Subs to India that can attack China and has helped us build Indigenous Nuclear Submarine who's target can only be china I dont think any more proof of 'Trust' is required.

Time of US-Russia cold war is Long Gone....today its a Multi-Polar world where large nations make up their own temporary alliance to suite the threat of the day.

India has both its feet in India ....and everybody in the world knows that. We always form alliance that is in our best interests.....be it with Russia, with US, with Israel , with Japan .......maybe tomorrow with China . The World trusts India to take decisions in its best interest. That makes India Very Very Trustworthy in the comity of nations.
