Insulting customers is a suicidal business strategy. Oh wait, its from Russia, its OK then. /s

What this means is in the that long term Europe has a reason to look at energy independence and reducing Russian energy imports. Germany is already looking at this. China and India are working toward greater energy independence, so there is limited growth room for Russian exports there. Short term, this winter is going to hurt. Long term, it will hurt Russia more.

I saw a gas station that had regular unleaded for 3.75 a gallon, but it had sanctions on it.

The one across the street had it for 33.75 for regular - but there were no sanctions, and they were flying a Ukrainian flag, too!

After I put in a half a gallon, I had a warm feeling, which continued when I had to get out and push my car the last quarter-mile home, after I ran out of gas on the way there.

“Honey Badger don’t care.”

• 85% of world is not sanctioning Russia
• the western world is busy converting from real energy to imaginary unicorn dust
• Russia will be in good shape with a strong hand in energy, fertilizer, a history of doing without.

As the saying went in the space program, we spend billions and they shoot guys into space in a tin can.
