NATO's energy and ethics are being called into question due to its selective approach towards countries such as India, China, and Brazil. Europe's vehicle mix, with a high proportion of diesel-powered trucks and vans, contributes to its significant fuel consumption. In contrast, India's predominantly two-wheeler fleet consumes less fuel per kilometre. NATO's current stance on energy and ethics is seen as hypocritical, given its past silence on energy trade with Russia after Crimea. The alliance's rhetoric may ring hollow if it does not hold itself and its members to the same standards as it demands of others.
