Still a problem of too much oil consumption. India buys from Russia and alternative sources don't have it to spare for sale to India.

Seems like our policy for dealing with Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been floundering for a long time.

Countries, like India, still buy oil from Russia. At first Trump's higher tariffs against India trying to push India away from importing Russian oil were praised. Now that policy is being heavily criticized for pushing India away from US and toward China.

In a more ideal world, supplying India with energy would work better than trying to bully them into not buying from Russia. Could we have provided oil and natural gas to India for helping them transition away from Russian oil?

Probably not. We (the US) now produce plenty of oil and natural gas for our own needs, but USA can't really spare it, let alone ship it to India. Maybe Saudi Arabia could have helped more, but probably not.

European nations have done pretty well weaning themselves off Russian oil and natural gas, but they still depend on phosphate fertilizers from Russia.

Russia has lots of natural resources that much of the rest of the world is still dependent on.
