China and India can’t buy Russian oil with these new sanctions.

And Russia, being the veteran sanctions-survivor it is, will just route its crude through the “shadow fleet”—tankers with more flags than a UN conference and less insurance than a teenage driver. The oil will flow, and more middlemen will make money along the way. ----- Sean Ring

So happy that Happy is happy about this. Looking forward to multiple posts with sources. When you've time, of course.

In the meanwhile, here is an article with source hotlinked:

Oh this is exciting. If you follow a "content creator" -- who is in New York, by the way -- you'll see some "lol" stuff to whip you into a frenzy of joy.

Nice underscoring too. And yeah, the various clip pieces and "camera angles" and more make is s delightful fake for those who get excited about such things.

AI Overview
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy led a strategic response that proved far more resilient than Vladimir Putin’s planners had anticipated. Instead of fleeing, Zelenskyy rallied his nation and the world through a savvy communications strategy, a courageous refusal to capitulate, and effective leadership that fostered a fierce national and international resistance.
