The CHICOMS just backed out of a $500 Billion gas deal with Russia. Why buy the cow when you can buy the milk at discount from a customer desperate cow owner?
Do you have a link for that backing out? Anyways, the CCP wants to pay less. Buy Rooskie gas and oil at the same discounted price that India gets. Don't take it personally Pooty Poot. "It's just business". Obviously the EU was and is paying full freight for Rooskie hydrocarbons. One thing about Rooskie oil, is that it is light and sweet. Easier to refine. Venezuelan oil is the heaviest and worst to refine. When I buy roofing tar it comes from Venezuela.
