Russia is selling more oil and gas than ever before. The only difference is India and China are selling it at a premium and taking a cut. They're the middle man is all.
Bingo, and the Biden crime family is a middleman for Ukraine. High oil and gas prices is both a blessing and a curse for them, they get rich, but Russia is also getting rich.
West is suffering, both from high oil and gas prices, which makes everything more expensive, but also from a shitload of taxes being wasted on Biden's war against Russia.
Trump proved we can be an oil exporter, that is what he means. Nothing isolation about having enough to feed your own industry and enough left over to sell to others.
They're also smart enough to import energy when prices are negative on a windy day, this allows them to fill up their water reservoirs so that they have plenty of both energy and water once energy prices goes up and export is beneficial.
Their oil fund is currently valued $1.4T, one of the largest funds in the world. Money they could spend whenever they want to, or keep there and cash out the huge interest they earn from it.
It was smart of them to not instantly remove all the taxes, soon as they found oil. They kept them as high as before, making the oil income an extra bonus income which they reinvest into stuff that generates more money. As of now their welfare system is incredibly generous and their taxes are gradually lowered over time.
Why? He's on board with the destruction of the US. He's on team CCP. Team North Korea.
He's said communism is like Christianity. His own words.
He got our uranium thanks to dnc corruption. He won't upset that apple cart. Him speaking about what is happening to Trump is putting his thumb on the scale for a dem victory. He does the same shit the Dems do to his opponents.
which certainly increases the relationship status of these countries. we couldn't be more stupid as a country to actively support policies that weaken us strategically.
And that's the problem, The Biden crime family don't give a fuck about American interests, he's trying to enrich himself and his crackhead son, even if it leads to WW3.
2022 was the most profitable year in the Russian Oil Industry Every in part thanks to higher prices. This year Russian Oil Revenue is down 43% according to the Russian Government, but that is putting them at level similar to that prior to the War.
Same with Keystone, one of the first pipelines Biden "put an end to". Look at what happened, more oil and gas being shipped by train at 2x the cost. Mega trains were all corners are cut for maximum profit which leads to more derailments and spill of hazardous chemicals.
Yep, it's been like that ever since the world wars, ever since the creation of the federal reserve. Europe alone united would a be strong economic force, capable of trading with whoever the fuck they want without anyone saying anything.
Then of course they had to make EU a "democratic" union, as if it wasn't bad enough sending the worst scum from "elected" parties in individual countries, all with anti European interests and most importantly anti nationalist interests, they can now spit in your face and laugh while saying "you voted for them".
After the end of WW2, Germany was divided between the US, USSR, France and UK, these 4 countries would manage their on part of Germany for the following 99 years, preliminary ending in year 2048. Few years later, France and UK pulled out, making it only US managing west Germany and USSR handling east Germany.
Then USSR fell and now Germany is basically a puppet state to the US. They may have their own elections, they're allowed to use the €uro as currency, but they can only trade with whoever the US allow them to trade with.
There's also rules for the military, Germany is not allowed to have an army large enough to defend itself from the 100 000 stationed US troops at the Reimstein base for instance. Lot's or stupid rules, but to sum it up, Germany is a slave state with a fake illusion of freedom.
That said, many Germans are getting aware of this and see the parallels to the Wiemar republic, were basically the same shit happened. Nordstream itself was Germany's way of giving the finger to the Tyrants and an attempt to create energy independence. Sure some might say they'll be dependent on Russia, but for them that's probably better than getting fucked by the Biden regime.
Either way, I don't think it's a good idea to push around the Germans too much. All it takes is an Austrian painter to guide them and they'll rise up against the tyrants. Germans together are strong if they want to, not the enemy anyone wants. This time the US won't be able to convince Russia to invade Germany, most likely Germany and Russia will be allies, and if that happens the Biden regime is fucked.
One might also ask why Russia haven't said anything or taken out revenge yet, after all, natural gas exports is 45% of their economy. Germany can always find gas elsewhere, it's gonna cost but it's doable. Then it's Sweden, also not saying anything. Who knows what these countries are secretly plotting together, perhaps a counter attack on DC?
Whatever happens I doubt Biden will get away with this. Russia waited 8 years before they finally had enough of being provoked by Ukraine, they can wait years before they nuke DC. Soon as they gathered enough resources and allies DC is fucked.
Cargo ships on international waters can utilize slave labor and ignore workers rights, that's why it's cheap. They also refuel where oil is cheap. Baltic sea has some of the worlds most expensive oil, and you have to pay your workers, insure them, care for their rights and so on. That's why Nordstream was built, it was cheaper than ships.
That's like saying its cheaper to buy a battery than hook your house up to the electrical grid. If you are just looking at having the lights on today, maybe.
Overall costs for a cargo ship is cheaper. Cargoships are absurdly efficient.
Hell, it is faster to transfer data via hard drives on a cargo ship than the 400 terabit transatlantic cable by 2 orders of magnitude. 400,000 tons of hard drives, 5000 hard drives a ton, 22 terabytes a drive, 8 bits a byte. And 7 days from New Jersey to London...
35200000000 terabits over 7 days via cargo ship
241920000 terrabits over 7 days via wire
58201 terabits a second via cargo ship, 400 terabits via cable.
And tha isnt particularly efficient with the cargo ship - I went with 22tb 3.5 inch drives not 8tb M.2 SSDs - that could be 15 times more efficient for the cargo ship
using data to measure cargo ship efficiency is silly. you could have a pigeon shit in your hand and count the immense data output in DNA compression via pigeon...and that still is not relevant to a conversation about cheapest way to move oil and gas.
Russia is selling oil to China at 50% the price of the oil they sell to the West. Why is that? Because China pays in gold. The real price of gold is around $4000 now, not $2000.
You mean after depositing Rubles in a Western financial institution (impossible) and paying exchanges fees (to non-existent currency exchanges) and premiums plus 30% sales tax and delivery fees (via legally sanctioned, non-existent bank accounts) to get it back to Russia (through export sanctions)? God, you are stupid. Maybe they could just use bitcoin, ahahahaha. Gold is real money, dollars are permission slips for goods from Western corporations, printed by western governments.
Oil and gas is always traded in dollars because every country has dollars. Problem now is that India is not allowed to buy oil and gas from Russia, using dollars due to sanctions.
India also cannot pay Russia in rupees because then those rupees would end up in Russia where Russia would have no use for them, and India wouldn't be able to get them back, this is because Russia doesn't import enough goods and services from India.
Therefore gold makes more sense, barter natural resources basically. And no bank in the world can stop them.
Let's just say, the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because of the pro Biden and anti-Trump propaganda. They use the war as fear mongering. Ukrainians are brainwashed completely for over 8 years, then they flee to other European countries, speak to locals and spread "first hand" anti Russian propaganda.
The instant they put the 'ban' on, anonymous ships were going out into the ocean and transferring oil to them and then bringing them in. Russia went from like number one supplier to this anonymous supplier being the top importer of oil overnight. Virtually same numbers. They just lied to the retard public and they ate up the slava ukraine bullshit.
Die Grüne gets pretty damn close tho. But you're right, Germany have leftists and they have green Muppets segregated. Biden takes both those shit ideologies and combine them.
The primary reason why we invaded Iraq a second time to get rid of Saddam Hussein was to get Iraq oil registered back into OPEC.
A CARTEL can only set its prices IF IT KNOWS ITS INVENTORY.
If the inventory is not known, then the price you try to set becomes wonky - it ends up being unstable - and bounces between too high and too low in terms of where YOU the CARTEL set and expected the price to stay at any given time.
Saddam Hussein with the help of the Russians was selling oil outside of OPEC in the years leading up to the invasion - and it pissed off OPEC and of course our own Bushies here at home - a BIG OIL family. Saddam was undermining the CARTEL's ability to control the price.
(That's what all those Russian aluminum tubes were there for...)
Three days into the invasion - it was discovered that BOTH France and Germany were buying Iraqi oil off the black market. When caught by the US, any protest by both governments to the invasion suddenly vanished - and news stories of this fact got wiped from all the big mainstream media websites.
European countries for decades have been trying to get away from US-OPEC Cartel oil dependence and negotiate their own price with an independent supplier.
Russia is selling more oil and gas than ever before. The only difference is India and China are selling it at a premium and taking a cut. They're the middle man is all.
Bingo, and the Biden crime family is a middleman for Ukraine. High oil and gas prices is both a blessing and a curse for them, they get rich, but Russia is also getting rich.
West is suffering, both from high oil and gas prices, which makes everything more expensive, but also from a shitload of taxes being wasted on Biden's war against Russia.
This is why we need oil and energy independence. We're basically funding whatever they want by purchasing their oil.
Isolationism is bad for certain industries, which is why it'll never happen.
In a globalized economy, we have to care about the foreign entanglements Washington warned us about.
Trump proved we can be an oil exporter, that is what he means. Nothing isolation about having enough to feed your own industry and enough left over to sell to others.
added bonus we drive down profits of our enemies by flooding market with our energy products. Russian profits were in the tank under Trump
They're also smart enough to import energy when prices are negative on a windy day, this allows them to fill up their water reservoirs so that they have plenty of both energy and water once energy prices goes up and export is beneficial.
Their oil fund is currently valued $1.4T, one of the largest funds in the world. Money they could spend whenever they want to, or keep there and cash out the huge interest they earn from it.

As of now their welfare system is incredibly generous and their taxes are gradually lowered over time.
You are not suggesting that the US nationalize its oil industry like Norway did in 1972??? That is the definition of socialism.
We have 800 military bases around the world and a finger in every pie.
Energy independence is not isolationism.
Even if we were energy independent, we would still be mucking about in the Ukraine in order to deny leverage and resources to Russia.
Yes, but we wouldn't be suffering at home while we did it which would actually work in their favor since we would be blissfully uninterested.
America last, for the big guy
10% for the big guy. 🤡🤡🤡
China making money on one side and their stooge Biden is raking it in on the other
Biden and Clinton crime families took millions from corrupt Russians, connected to Putin. Same with xi connected CCP commies.
This war isn't about ideology or land. Dems are in on it.
That's why it couldn't happen when Trump was in office.
THESE FACTS TRIGGER LEFTISTS WHO LARP HERE
I wish Putin would just info dump everything, like how Hillary orchestrated the sale of American uranium mines to Russia.
Why? He's on board with the destruction of the US. He's on team CCP. Team North Korea.
He's said communism is like Christianity. His own words.
He got our uranium thanks to dnc corruption. He won't upset that apple cart. Him speaking about what is happening to Trump is putting his thumb on the scale for a dem victory. He does the same shit the Dems do to his opponents.
Whatever side he's on, he has a common enemy.
Freedom. Try speaking out against the war in Russia.
I saw an old lady attacked and thrown off a bus for merely complaining about the boots the boys get.
He's on team Biden and Clinton. He's against freedom.
Putin himself threw her off the bus? Lmao
The war enriches our enemies, as it was designed to.
which certainly increases the relationship status of these countries. we couldn't be more stupid as a country to actively support policies that weaken us strategically.
And that's the problem, The Biden crime family don't give a fuck about American interests, he's trying to enrich himself and his crackhead son, even if it leads to WW3.
I agree but it’s deeper than that. Our entire government, media has been subverted. The enemy is inside the gates.
2022 was the most profitable year in the Russian Oil Industry Every in part thanks to higher prices. This year Russian Oil Revenue is down 43% according to the Russian Government, but that is putting them at level similar to that prior to the War.
Why don’t they just use a pipeline?
Oh…wait….
Same with Keystone, one of the first pipelines Biden "put an end to". Look at what happened, more oil and gas being shipped by train at 2x the cost. Mega trains were all corners are cut for maximum profit which leads to more derailments and spill of hazardous chemicals.
America simply can't have Europe working with Russia working with China.
Their global dominance would be fucking GONE.
That is the reason for the current insanity.
Yep, it's been like that ever since the world wars, ever since the creation of the federal reserve. Europe alone united would a be strong economic force, capable of trading with whoever the fuck they want without anyone saying anything.
Then of course they had to make EU a "democratic" union, as if it wasn't bad enough sending the worst scum from "elected" parties in individual countries, all with anti European interests and most importantly anti nationalist interests, they can now spit in your face and laugh while saying "you voted for them".
Guess who owns the trains. A guy named Buffet. Not Jimmy.
Yep. I can’t believe Germany hasn’t said shit about us blowing up their pipeline.
It makes a global cabal even more suspicious if an ally blows up a major pipeline and they don’t say shit about it
After the end of WW2, Germany was divided between the US, USSR, France and UK, these 4 countries would manage their on part of Germany for the following 99 years, preliminary ending in year 2048.

They cannot allow the cure for what they need you to go through.
Train is more expensive than pipeline but cargo ship is cheaper than pipeline

Would you prefer BDG's as a measurement? You can do that. Their numbers are correct in terms of mass-transport.
Its cargo ships
Now Europe is importing record levels of LNG from Russia, and I think part of that can be contributed to the bombing of Nordstream Pipeline last year
Now what's really greener: A forested, pressurized, sealed pipe or thousands of semi trucks wearing out expensive highways?
Because Germany wouldnt allow a refinery in their borders, they want refined petroleum products delivered by tanker
Also tanker ship is more efficient than pipelines
They had a pipeline.
But now it’s destroyed
The long-term goal (really long-term) is to keep Russia and Germany separated.
Russia is selling oil to China at 50% the price of the oil they sell to the West. Why is that? Because China pays in gold. The real price of gold is around $4000 now, not $2000.
What you just said is nonsense. Yes fiat currency is garbage, but they can still immediately use it to buy gold. Think about that for a second.
You mean after depositing Rubles in a Western financial institution (impossible) and paying exchanges fees (to non-existent currency exchanges) and premiums plus 30% sales tax and delivery fees (via legally sanctioned, non-existent bank accounts) to get it back to Russia (through export sanctions)? God, you are stupid. Maybe they could just use bitcoin, ahahahaha. Gold is real money, dollars are permission slips for goods from Western corporations, printed by western governments.

Therefore gold makes more sense, barter natural resources basically. And no bank in the world can stop them.
Sanctions just create a new pathway for money to flow. We closed this highway, but you can use the service road. Fucking pointless
What are the chances that our allies are about to become our enemies thanks to Joe?
Let's just say, the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because of the pro Biden and anti-Trump propaganda. They use the war as fear mongering. Ukrainians are brainwashed completely for over 8 years, then they flee to other European countries, speak to locals and spread "first hand" anti Russian propaganda.
Once the truth gets out, Biden is fucked.
Considering his terrorist attack on the pipeline, I'd say some already should be.
Thanks to the lefties who cheated him in. Biden is a bigger puppet than Bush.
I f*cking told everyone about this all along.
We are all supporting this war from both sides!
The intended outcome was never victory, it was only attrition and death.
The elite need Ukraine dead for their crimes to remain hidden.
The intelligence agencies need Russians dead to satisfy their globalist ideology - in hopes they can overthrow russias government.
Exactly. Deplete NATO of ammo, secure brics alliances and then the real war can kick off.
You aren't agreeing with him, you fucking idiot. "in hopes they can overthrow russias government." Did you miss that part?
You think people who openly state they want an end to nations are going to spare some just cuz their current leaders are in on the conspiracy?
Who is the idiot here ...
Really good to see the EU and B.R.I.C.S. working well together.... 🤣😂😅

Russia went from like number one supplier to this anonymous supplier being the top importer of oil overnight. Virtually same numbers. They just lied to the retard public and they ate up the slava ukraine bullshit.
So glad we blew up the Nord Stream, only to have Germany get their oil from Russia anyway… Science
gj blowing up that pipeline jackasses, it did nothing
Remember all those predictions that Germans were going to freeze to death en masse last winter? Uh huh.

More specifically, the source is a german newpaper that somehow finally realized this happens... https://archive.ph/LGITJ
It’s to perpetuate the next two decade conflict. Fuel both sides.
But muh biggest sanctions ever!
Yeah, like they were supposed to just shut down all their industry and let their people freeze to death?
Winter is going to be fun this year, idiots.
Unlike Texas and Commiefornia, at least Germany will have energy, even if it's more expensive. Fuck Joe Biden.
The Germans aren't nearly as stupid as a senile Biden (D).
Die Grüne gets pretty damn close tho. But you're right, Germany have leftists and they have green Muppets segregated. Biden takes both those shit ideologies and combine them.
At 4x the cost.
Take that Russ- oh, wait.
I mean that's how the global market works
Yeah but that's how that works. You design the tariff that way so the cost of the tariff makes the indirect route approximately the same amount.
TLDR: Tariffs create black markets.
The importance of Germany not relying on Russia directly was the point. No one gives a shit if Germany buys the oil second hand.
But but but but I thought Europe was all about Ukraine and “climate change”! Why would they buy evil fossil fuels from evil Russia!?!?!
Remember Merkel standing over trump? That's partly what it ws about. And guess what... Trump was right
If they want to essentially fund the "enemy" they are all demanding we pay to fight, why don't they pay for it instead?
This is nothing new.
The primary reason why we invaded Iraq a second time to get rid of Saddam Hussein was to get Iraq oil registered back into OPEC.

Old news...
India saving the world…
Whose oil is Ukraine using to fuel their German-made tanks?
Did they actually ship it or pipe it to India and then back to Germany?
🤣🤣🤣
I guess that's why they all didn't freeze to death eh?
Rubber meets the road and crumbles on sanctions
India again fucking the world over for a handful of funny money.
So greeen!
