What Makes The Latest International Economic Sanctions So Dangerous For Russia?

“Try learning the new information, instead of holding up old reports like a security blanket, Linus.”

So you think trading that has been in successful operations for a couple of years is going to just stop because someone says it is? The information I gave you is less than three months old and I didn’t even start to cover the countries that were trading with Russia and getting kickbacks for aiding to make up the deficit they lose from direct trading with Russian petroleum products.

You have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to world trade, back business, and the buyoffs and compensation awarded for middleman purchasing and reselling. Let me help you:

The story begins in Siberia, which holds the majority of Russia’s oil reserves. Russia produces 9.6 million barrels of crude oil per day, its single most important source of revenue.

And it sells that oil to countries outside the U.S. and European Union, including China, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and India, home to the world’s largest oil refinery, the sprawling Jamnagar refining complex.

Before the war in Ukraine, Jamnagar imported almost no Russian crude. Today, Global Witness found about one-third of its monthly crude imports are Russian. At Jamnagar, the Russian crude is blended with other foreign crude and refined into gasoline, diesel, and other products that can be legally bought by American companies.

It’s then shipped with vessels like the Balzani through the Red Sea, into the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean, and, in this case, New York’s Upper Bay. And this is just one of the four locations mentioned and there are others I didn’t mention in more countries than displayed.

That is what makes preferred nations and just waving hello at them is not going to mean anything. Compensation is what counts and the deal is very sweet for anyone that plays. And the US is no better than Russia is as we know it’s happening so we’re contributory to the lies. You shouldn’t buy what the media tells you. They are owned by someone.
