Oil price cap is a joke. So Russian oil that is sold to one jurisdiction and refined, then resold to the EU/US is no longer considered Russian oil and can be sold above the price cap. How is this good for the consumers in The West? Instead of us being able to buy directly from Russia, we have a middle man that will tack on their own markup and sell it to us. Just stupid.

OFAC Preliminary Guidance on Implementation of the Price Cap Policy for Petroleum Products of Russian Federation Origin

Once Russian petroleum products or Russian oil are substantially transformed (e.g., subjected to any of the refining processes listed below) in a jurisdiction other than the Russian Federation, they are no longer considered to be of Russian Federation origin, and thus the price cap no longer applies: distillation (crude – atmospheric, crude – vacuum), thermal processes (delayed coking, fluid coking including flexicoking, visbreaking), catalytic cracking (hydrocracking, fluid catalytic cracking), catalytic reforming, catalytic hydrotreating (desulfurization), alkylation, isomerization, solvent extraction (de-asphaltizing, lube solvent extraction), de-waxing, or other refinery processes involving chemical transformation, separation, conversion, or treatment.

Russia vs Ukraine 30 members of NATO

Had it been a straight up fight, you know what the outcome would have been. Let's stop pretending.

Russia has needed:
1. Iranian drones
2. North Korean troops
3. Wagner mercenaries that make the CIA’s special operators look like Care Bears. At least until they get on social media and give HIMARS operators their location.

Russia’s failure to “win” rests squarely on the shoulders of one person, Putin. He completely shat the bed when he thought the west would look the other way as he continues to try to get the old CCCP band back together. Russia may not want NATO on its doorstep. But NATO doesn’t want the Soviet Union part deux on its doorstep either.

Russia’s War Could Make It India’s World

"Nonetheless, India is in no mood to cut ties with Mr. Putin’s Russia, which supported the country with weapons over decades of nonalignment, while the United States cosseted India’s archenemy, Pakistan. Even in a country starkly fractured over Mr. Modi’s policies, this approach has had near universal backing."

“Paradoxically, the war in Ukraine has diminished trust in Western powers and concentrated people’s minds on how to hedge bets,” said Pratap Bhanu Mehta, a prominent Indian political theorist. “India feels it has the United States figured out: Yes, you will be upset but you’re in no position to do anything about it.”

Now lets think about this, if Russia was really losing the war in Ukraine, would you see countries like India and Saudi Arabia hedging bets or even directly opposing the US and standing beside Russia? Who wants to stand behind a loser?

I've seen this Jaishankar guy speak on several occasions and he is an intelligent individual and a straight shooter.

“I would still like to see a more rules-based world,” Mr. Jaishankar said. “But when people start pressing you in the name of a rules-based order to give up, to compromise on what are very deep interests, at that stage I’m afraid it’s important to contest that and, if necessary, to call it out.”

The new system will be the end of the Anglo-American hegemon and usher in the age of the sovereign nation states... where each country is able to make decisions based on their own interests and not of the interests of the US. And this will be a good thing for us here, as well. We are slaves to this corrupt system ourselves because none of these foreign escapades and antics are to the average Americans direct or indirect benefit.

The North Korean troops is a new one. You would think that North Koreans would stand out in eastern Europe and be pretty hard to hide.
