Of course, I do. You’re missing the point. The easiest way lessen the scope of the shortage is to keep that Russian oil flowing into the global supply. You do realize C is China. China and India will hopefully give the world’s oil supply an end run around the devastatingly stupid western sanctions. Oil is at $122 today. It was a ridiculously high of $88 on 2/1. Putin has been selling oil at a 20% discount to BRICS member states. Putin gets 80% of $122 or $97 AFTER the sanctions. China can buy all the oil that Russia can export at market minus 20%. Who really takes the hit, bears the brunt of the burden for the “let’s get the damn Russians” sanctions? You and I, hemorrhaging at the gas pump, are the real losers here.
Well stated indeed!
