The usuals are getting desperate and unleashed a meme barrage, slightly more effective than Russian AD. 😂
Desperate about what? The Russians liberating Volchansk and Pokrovsk?
😂😂😂😂
The hypocrisy is oozing around here!
Only zeepers can make this sh*t up !!
Eyes glazed by hopium.
The oil market is now almost too well prepared for Russian seaborne exports to be cut off. Prices are dropping so low it threatens continued drilling in the USA.
It is almost necessary to soon cut off Russian supply, as the Global supply has surged every month since April (thank you President Trump, for coordinating that with the Arabs, first thing upon taking office). President Trump has also prepared the oil market for the sudden loss of Russia’s oil, by depressing Chinese demand for oil - slowing its economy with tariffs. The impact of the Bone Crushing Sanctions, just as Russia’s refineries go offline, will leave much of Russia’s oil no where to flow.
Just in time for the hard freezing in Russia’s oil fields in November. Flamingoes with Tomahawks, and swarms of Winter drones replacing the Summer’s mosquitos in Siberia.
Conditions set, tools available, waiting on weather - Won’t have to wait long, Siberian weather being what it is.
OilPrice.com (15 Oct):
“Oil prices recovered slightly in early Asian trade on Thursday after a steep drop that pushed WTI and Brent to five-month lows the day before. The rebound was fueled by renewed optimism over U.S. pressure on India to curb its imports of Russian crude, which could tighten arbitrage flows and compress margins for buyers...
...The price rise came after President Trump said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to stop buying Russian crude, a development that could ease oversupply fears. Trump then indicated that he would now attempt to make China do the same thing...
...The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that the global oil glut may be larger than expected in 2026 if production from OPEC+ and others continues to ramp up. Meanwhile, U.S.-China trade frictions continue to cloud demand expectations, with the risk that heightened tariffs could erode growth in both economies.
Compounding the uncertainty, U.S. data showed a sizable spike in crude inventories, suggesting that domestic stock builds may already be pressuring the market.
Should India curtail purchases of discounted Russian crude, it could reduce seaborne offerings, especially those sold under the G7 “price cap” mechanism, thereby propping up global balances...
...Bank of America has recently joined the chorus of bearish voices warning that escalating U.S.–China tensions, coupled with sustained production from OPEC+, may push Brent crude below US$50 per barrel under certain downside scenarios.”
Presidents Trump and Zelensky, meeting soon to talk about a new Ukrainian offensive. I am guessing it will include Strategic attacks, deep in Russia’s rear.
Kyiv Independent (16 Oct):
“U.S. President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky will discuss Ukraine’s desire to “go offensive” in the war against Russia during their upcoming White House meeting, Trump said on Oct. 15.
Zelensky will meet Trump in Washington, at the White House’s invitation, on Oct. 17. The visit marks the leaders’ fifth in-person meeting since Trump returned to office in January. Zelensky and Trump last met in New York during the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 23.
When asked about the agenda for Zelensky’s impending visit, Trump said they’d be discussing Ukraine’s strategy of taking the war back to Russia.
“They want to go offensive,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I’ll make a determination on that, but they want to go offensive. and we’ll have to make a determination.”
Trump didn’t provide details on what “offensive” tactics might look like, though he has previously floated the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Tomahawks, long-range cruise missiles capable of striking targets at a range of 1,600 to 2,500 kilometers (1,000 to 1,600 miles).
Trump said the U.S. was also “looking at other options” besides Tomahawks. He did not say what those options were.”
😂😂😂😂
What a clown.
