I’m prettty sure we have. And, I may be wrong, but aren’t they buying gas?
India and China are buying the oil as far as I know.
Corrections welcome.

Better late than never.
You sure seem to care a lot about Russia, though.
Why is that?

That's Quote of the Week material there. LOL.
They don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.
Is RedFreedom's opinion for sale?
Gen. Keane, pick A, B, or C ( both).
A) fool /foo͞l/
noun
-One who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding.
One who acts unwisely on a given occasion.
B) neoconservative
noun [ C )
-someone whose politics are conservative or right wing, who believes strongly in the free market and thinks that their country should use its military power to become involved with or try to control problems in other countries.
C) Both
C is the correct answer.
In an overall philosophical perspective —
It’s essentially impossible to crush an economy that has a central bank that can create money.
The Soviets died because they had a silly regulation on their Central Bank that restricted money creation to amounts mandated by the Interior Ministry. When oil’s price fell, the Ministry’s 5 year plan was woefully inadequate.
In contrast, in 2008/9 when capitalism failed in the US and we faced systemic collapse, Congress passed gargantuan deficits to be funded by creation of money by Ben Bernanke’s Fed, with his newly pushed phrase Quantitative Ease.
That single event was insufficient. He did 3 or 5 rounds of QE. All to avoid the economy being crushed.
Russia can do exactly the same thing. Just create money from thin air, and then wait for oil production depletion in the rest of the world to bring it begging for help.
“then wait for oil production depletion in the rest of the world to bring it begging for help.”
What’s the timeline for that? 1 year? A decade? 30 years?

Keane is a neocon POS.
The Druzhba pipeline (Russian: нефтепровод «Дружба», Czech: Ropovod Družba), also referred to as the Friendship Pipeline and the Comecon Pipeline, is one of the world’s longest oil pipelines and one of the largest oil pipeline networks in the world. It began operation in 1964 and remains in operation today. It carries oil some 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) from the eastern part of European Russia to points in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany.
India is refining the Russian oil and selling it on to the Europeans.
😂😂😂😂
Odds are tricky. Rate of new discoveries has been very poor. Rate of consumption increase has been strong.
Your kids will feel it. If you’re old enough, maybe not you.
Our economy is crashing?
Neocon working at “institute to study war” - run by Victoria Nuland’s sister.
PrinciPAL!
No link no truth
I am so sick of listening to old retired generals who don’t have a clue. 🙄
Only someone with Russian Derangement Syndrome doesn't understand that.
