They also passed a resolution recognizing the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.
Actually this is going to be interesting. While the EU has not yet specified what that price cap number is going to be, Russia has been pretty insistent that they just will not sell any oil to anyone who participates in this.
That could lead to another round of oil price increases. The last thing we need...:-(

LOL, and I am imposing a price cap of 19,999 on new Ford F-150s. I will not pay a penny more.
Wonder how long delivery will take?

THE EMPIRE OF PIPELINE BOMBING
CAN’T EVEN BOMB A PIPELINE PROPERLY
Confirmed by Gazprom:
Line B of Nord Stream 2 was NOT damaged by Pipeline Terror last week.
Nord Stream IS a marvel of technology. Even Line A of NS2 and both strings of Nord Stream were only PUNCTURED. The pipes are tremendously strong.
All that is part of my upcoming column.
“Gazprom is working to depressurize Line B of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to reduce potential environmental risks from possible gas leaks. If the decision to start gas deliveries via Nord Stream 2 string B is made, natural gas will be pumped into the pipeline.”
That opens a whole new chapter. Everything will hang on the German government being forced by General Winter to grow a pair, act on their national interests and screw the Empire.
What if Putin retaliates by cutting off uranium to EU? (Thanks, Ms. Klinton / Uranium One).
The EU believes that it is a magic princess making magic princess proclamations.
The EU is in denial about cause and effect.
Interesting information about the drone attack on Kiev (about 4 hr. ago)
🇷🇺 By being hit by kamikaze drones in Belaya Tserkov. This is the first time Iranian drones have been able to reach this far from the front line.
More than 130 kilometers from the nearest section on the border with Belarus to the city. Moreover, this area is densely saturated with air defense systems covering the capital.
From the front line in the Nikolaev region - more than 320 kilometers.
From whichever of these directions the drones are launched, it is already clear that they are capable of operating in the deep rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that “Shahids” (the Russian name is “Geran-2”) can cover distances of up to a thousand kilometers.
🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️According to our information, We hit the military barracks and the airfield. There are losses among Ukrainian officers and manpower.
This is the crisis the Green Nuts have been awaiting.
Let’s get ready for endless pontificating by Brandon, Blinken, Granholm, Mayor Peter Eater, Vietnam Kerry, and the rest on this “Great Opportunity to Get Off Fossil Fuels Forever (GOGOFFF)”.
Not good. Israel had better get ready for these things being sold by the Ayatollahs to Hamas/Hezbollah.
DEVELOPING⚡️
Footage shows base of Ukrainian military facility in the city of Bila Tserkva, Kiev region UP IN FLAMES after being hit by Russian forces at night, 6 Iranian kamikaze drones Shahed-136 (Geran-2) allegedly used in the attack.
But not before a radioactive liquid is pumped in to identify any leaks in the pipeline near NATO countries. Maybe Japan can sell its Fukushima water in exchange for fuel.
According to the Ukrainians the world is on the cusp of another concerning “crisis”...though I’m not sure why the war would create a world deficiency in metallurgy.
The global crisis in metallurgy is already very close, especially if Ukraine is added to this map, where 80% of the capacities are not working.
As of January 12, 2022, in Ukraine, out of the main operating production facilities, 17 out of 21 blast furnaces, 7 out of 8 open-hearth furnaces, 12 out of 16 converters, 5 out of 15 electric furnaces and 16 out of 17 continuous casting machines were in operation. Now 20% are in working condition, which work at half their capacity.

Vladimir Putin may address the nation today & change the status of the special operation - source Readovka
The President may issue a new address to the nation today. According to the source of Readovka, it will concern the change in the status of the special operation.
Security Council Secretary Patrushev said that in Crimea, due to the increased level of terrorist threats, security gaps must be immediately eliminated there. The head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, in turn, previously suggested that after the accession of new regions to Russia, a counter-terrorist operation would be carried out there.

Russians must be laughing themselves silly over that...
The irony of all this EU wankdom is that down the track it will be the U.S fighting the EU on the battlefield. If Ukraine ends up a member, the U.S will be fighting it too. I ‘ve always wondered how the EU with its german masters would get into a war with the U.S
This should work out well in conjunction with a dramatic decrease in OPEC production...
I’ve imposed a price cap on the new Jeep Wrangler I want to buy. I marched into the dealership and informed them of my price cap. I haven’t heard back from Jeep, but I expect delivery in a few months.
