What lower price? They get more than ever, even with a discount factored in. Forget about the oil price cap. Russia is not going to abide it. As a side note, do you know on what budget the USSR caused the US troubles in the 1970s? Russia is more equipped to do so no matter how hard are you trying.
Russian oil and gas revenues are doomed, like Russian officials are doomed to hellfire, for the atrocities they committed, and condoned.
What a foul stain on the soul it is, to have known of the torture and killing, and to have chosen to ally oneself with it. Whoring your integrity for money.
The cap is coming. December 5th. It serves everyone’s interests, except Russia, which is as guilty as sin, and the whole world knows it.
Lower prices are as inevitable as night following day. That is what killed the old Soviet Union, and now Russia speeds toward the same end. Putin has earned it, by giving the country over to such blood thirsty sinfulness.
