MarkyMax! How the hell are ya, bud?

We’ve missed you over the past few days! I was beginning to wonder...

While I got ya here, did you hear about those refineries blowing up in Hungary & Romania? You probably did and forgot to mention it. That’s ok. I’m sure someone will try to blame (checks notes) Putin for expanding the insurgency into NATO countries - two countries who are having second thoughts about this whole EU/NATO thingy. After all, we blame Mr. P for everything else. It certainly wasn’t caused by any blue and yellow flag-waving war hawks.

Anyway, that’s for keeping us updated with your fair and balanced reporting.

Yes, there should be a sarcasm tag to this whole post, but I seemed to have misplaced it. If/when I find it, I’ll add it later. Everyone else can probably figure it out.

Toodles,

jimjohn.

I applaud Trump for doing this. Wish he had done it sooner.. but better late than never.

Even brain dead Biden did not Sanction Russia’s largest oil companies. Why? It would disrupt the world’s oil markets, creating price increases and localized shortages.

We shall see how President Trump’s plan pans out. Let’s hope the U.S. stays “ insulated”.

No confirmation from India yet, but the new sanctions (and China’s announcement) are already causing a rally in oil price. Of course we have seen Trump’s sanctions can be quickly reversed. Or not. Meanwhile, China and India will certainly pursue workarounds to continue getting Russian oil at a nice discount. We’ll see how this works out in the long term. Trump should announce secondary sanctions on Europe for their Russian oil and gas purchases. Say, $10/barrel and $.50/MMBtu, with sanction money paying for US weapons. That should get a reaction...

China is going to need a lot more oil! They will buy all of Russian oil because they have expanded their export base even without the US market. Price will go up for oil and Russia will profit. Just follow the charts. We are so silly in what we are doing to ourselves, just like the EU has done.

.

Farmers and coal miners must have a lot in common these days, two groups that Trump pandered to and then promptly forgot about.

If this ia all to make Putin bow his head in submission — will have the opposite effect. An off ramp has to be placed before Zelensky and Putin. These are delicate egos on the world stage we are dealing with.

The British press is as controlled as the Soviet press was under the Communists. MI6 has control over what comes out of the British media. The mainstream media in this country is also dominated by leftists but occasionally they will allow the truth to come out, usually inadvertently.

This is a win for the US and Russia oil producers. A barrel of oil is already up from yesterday. If it goes up pass 60 dollars a barrel it will also be a win for the oil shale producers who could start profitable operations again. the losers are the US consumer.

Putin is paying the bill here for playing games with the Budapest summit and wasting President Trump’s time.
