Putin visits India to boost energy, trade ties

My guess is tha Putin old boy went to buy lots of Indian Kamagra to boost his energy!

The president is seeking new markets for Russia’s natural resources as its economy reels under US and EU sanctions

So quite normal situation - If Europe refuse cooperate with Russia - only one decision - to look in other directions.

Russia act as a part of Europe from the beginning of 18 th century

From the times of Peter I the Great

But Europeans never treats Russian as a part of their community

Two world wars when European allies and enemies alike scornfully treated Russia ,

NATO created after second WW and moving east after 1991 call in the question suggestion that Russian are

part of Europe

So this "sanctions" - this is the END

Russia is too big and too different to be a part of European gay parade

There are Turkey, Iran, Arabian countries, India, Vietnam, China, Korea (Korea is one) not far away from Russian borders
