They invade, bomb and kill people for no reason other than to install their own puppet government. Its annexing by a different name. Afghanistan was in annexation for 20 years, the sham eventually came to an end. Wordsmith doesn't change what happened.

The United States doesn't really care about free elections, heck ask Italy.

Once the Taliban took over in Afghanistan the United States froze all the central bank assets, why? Well, the puppet regime put into place by the United States fell, but the United States had already signed an agreement to assist in rebuilding Afghanistan.

Wordsmith.

The United States clearly has taken over those oilfields in Syria, exactly what do you call that? Its just words. Annex, taken over, captured, stole, etc. Does it really matter?

We should poll all those Russian men fleeing Russia and ask them if America or Russia is better these days.

What's stopping you from polling them? Based off all these Twitter posts that you and others have been sharing then they shouldn't be hard to find. Right?

Well, anyone can make up some stupid thing like that. Let's poll people burning stuff down in 2020 i.e. BLM and ask them if America or Russia is better. LoL

Apps, polls, twitter, US media, etc isn't going to change the facts of what the United States has been doing. The only reason why American thinks its great is because its the global banker, although most Americans have no idea what Betton Woods II is.

What is your point? Ask the world who is better, you are not going to like the answer.

This chart fails to tell the whole story.

Russia now selling their Urals oil to China, India and Turkey at a $20 to $30 discount per barrel compared to what it sold pre-war.

So, yeah, the sanctions are crushing Russian oil revenues.

Good point, and the price of oil definitely hasn't gone up since last year.

WSJ story showed estimates from a firm stating their revenues next year would be cut in half on oil sales.

Every conflict you mentioned here is intended ti have Russia stretched out over multiple fronts in the hopes of draining Russia to the point that it returns to the levels of 1990s under Yeltsin.

Intended by whom, Ras? I mean, we're good at stirring the pot, I'm not sure if we're that good. Every one of these has had ethnic/religious/territorial wars in the past and tensions bubbling beneath the surface for years, decades, just waiting to boil over. Russia is already stretched and has their hands full, so I would agree it may be a consequence of that, that other countries want to take advantage of the timing.

Everyone's revenues are going to cut next year. LoL Wait till you see Europe here in a few months, eventually this all could end up in a very bad place for the world.

Europe is toast for basically the next couple of decades... you can't print energy. The United States is causing chaos... well, chaos is what the world is going to get. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Everyone will have a 50% drop? That is your belief?

Perhaps more disturbing is the long-term situation with Russian natural gas. For the foreseeable future, Putin has managed to cut off his primary customers, and made his 2 European pipelines effectively worthless.

There will be an economic crisis this winter... in Russia.

I do not agree.

Well, you can disagree all you want but if economies are not using more and more energy, well, good luck. Its called a hard recession, Europe will probably be heading to depression. I have a hard time seeing how Europe gets out of this.

We were already heading to recession/depression even before all this, than you got peak commodity prices.

That is why OPEC+ is saying production needs to be cut just like I said would happen last week.

Oil Rises: OPEC+ Considering A Substantial Production Cut

Why is there too much oil? Well that is easy, you're heading to hard recession if not depression.
