Globalist EU to Poland: you don’t need Russian gas.
Polish PM to Polish towns: you don’t need Russian gas.
Some Polish towns: do we look like dog meat to you?
Not to worry I hear from other Freepers there’s no need to be concerned.
"What’s Keeping China From Buying More Russian Crude?"
“If Russia now needs to move the same amount of oil not to Europe but China, the first logistical problem it faces is that it can’t load Urals onto VLCCs in Primorsk or Ust Luga because those ports aren’t deep enough to dock VLCCs. Russia will first have to sail Aframax vessels to a port for STS crude transfer (ship -to -ship crude transfer) onto VLCCs,” Pozsar says.
The STS transfer takes weeks, and after the transfer is done, the VLCC will sail two months east, discharge, and go back to the Baltics, which is another two months.
“Conservatively, Russian crude traveled about a week or two before it fueled economic activity (the time it took to sail smaller Aframax carriers from Primorsk to Hamburg) and now will have to travel at least four months before it fuels economic activity,” Credit Suisse’s Pozsar notes.
“Worse, it’s not just the time to market that’s getting worse, but we also end up with a ship shortage and a corresponding surge in shipping freight rates,” he added.
According to OPEC’s analysis in its latest Monthly Oil Market Report published this week, “Tanker markets are being broadly impacted by uncertainties related to the conflict in Eastern Europe, which is expected to affect trade patterns.”

Russian exporters are currently bagging $1,7 billion a day - the biggest since the end of Cold War.

On Ukraine, the World Majority Sides With Russia
“Out of 195 countries, only 30 have honored the US sanctions on Russia. That means about 165 countries in the world have refused to join the sanctions. Those countries represent by far the majority of the world’s population. Most of Africa, Latin America (including Mexico and Brazil), East Asia (excepting Japan, South Korea, both occupied by U.S. troops and hence not sovereign, Singapore and the renegade Chinese Province of Taiwan) have refused. (India and China alone represent 35% of humanity.) ...”
The best and the brightest. LOL.
An economic whiz bang who confuses revenue with volume. The current high prices won’t last forever.
#9 goes for you too.
The recent fire at the Sakhalin Thermal Electric plant affects the Sakhalin Vladivostok gas pipeline to China...a strategic target it turns out.
Coal as the final energy source which traffic has been to the west has been piling up since sanctions we’re imposed. Coal accounts for fully half of all Russian train traffic...more problems keep piling up....
Population of the NATO countries combined is about 950 million.
Add Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan for another 230 million.
That is 1180 million out of a global population of 7750 million or about 15%.
Why?
And economic voonderwhiz you are not. Population does not really matter. For example, the US and the EU have 1/2 the population of India, but they have a GDP 16 TIMES that of India. Only an idiot would choose the higher population as their preferred target market.
From your link:
Thus the near-term opportunities for a rapid shift of energy exports to the east are limited. For every fuel, logistical problems and transportation constraints get in the way of expanded exports to China. It will take a decade—if not more—for these obstacles to be overcome.
Russia’s energy infrastructure was built to supply markets in Europe, and required half a century to construct. As Europe turns away from Russian fossil fuels, both for reasons of climate and security, this vast system will now have to be pointed toward the east. But that goal can only be achieved at great cost in capital and time. It will not happen overnight.
OK, we know what Poland has suffered under the Russian government hands.
But caution should be applied to this “news” source.
From the video itself: “TRT is a Turkish public broadcast service.”
There is no news from inside Turkey. All the media is compromised.
Nothing but State Approved Propaganda comes from inside Turkey. FACT.
The other critical factor in Siberian oil and gas utilization was the early departure of the big western companies servicing the necessary high tech; Halliburton, Schlumberger, and Baker and Hughes, all gone. Almost two months ago.
Critical to keeping the flow.
This is propaganda. Japan is not "occupied" by US military. Nor is Taiwan. They are both US allies and business partners. But with the current US regime in power, the enemy of Freedom is within the walls of DC.
The Chinese have the rapid construction know how we once had. Iirc the Empire State Building went up in 9 months or so.
I have pointed that out several times. The Western super majors pulling out is going to have a very crippling effect on Russian output.
