> Maybe start with punishing Europe then where the trade increased after the war
Importing the same amount or even much lower amounts of oil/gas at much higher prices would result in higher overall imports yes.
Also Russian a lot natural resource exports were/are exempt from sanctions due to practical reasons so what are you trying to say?
> India and China haven't even agreed to sanction ever.
Yet their companies will at least more or less outwardly comply with them because they want to continue doing business with western companies. It makes zero sense for Air India to ship GE engines to Russia without getting an exemption.
All of that is completely irrelevant of course since the airplane in question is already back in India...
