Actually they do - when Putin sells to other nations they’re not buying from the western sources. If the supply has been damaged it’s why you’re seeing price spikes now.

Also - in spite of the attacks and damage, Russia’s output has actually increased from the start of the war. (Which is part of the reason prices went down)

Not directly but perhaps indirectly. If some supplier is reduced in the market another supplier could seize the opportunity. Overall market prices and US prices could be affected.

Sanctions also devastate western Europe. Acceptable collateral damage I suppose?

It comes as Russian exports funding Putin's war have been hampered by repeated drone strikes on oil facilities, blamed on Ukraine.

Why would they feel the need to say "blamed on Ukraine"?

"BTW, these have no effect on US gas prices, since Russia does not export to the US"

Stupidest thing I have read this morning. Oil is a global commodity that is fungible, meaning that a decrease of supply in source raises prices everywhere unless new supply replaces it. If supply of oil to China from Russia is curtailed then China has to purchase it on the world market thereby increasing demand and prices on the world market.

You are either very ignorant or deliberately lying.

Skywise debunked your first statement.

This source debunks your second.

"After the invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. banned the direct import of Russian oil. However, other countries that then started buying that oil can legally refine it and sell it to the U.S. That's the refining loophole, and that's what we're trying to change."

This statement is prim facia evidence that you are a neophyte who has no idea what he is talking about. The price of crude is set by supply & demand, production costs, and market sentiment. Now a country certainly has the right to undercut that price, but they rarely do so. When the do so, it's an indication that there is an oil glut in the marketplace.

What Determines Oil Prices?

This is how you tell the world how dumb are, without telling the world how dumb you are.

Ukraine joined NATO today. Guess what happens next? People who are stupid and easily led will start demanding that we go to war against Russia. And guess who they will sned first to die? Those people who still think Russia is the enemy. And they will send their children to die. This is an attempt to rid our country of any vestiges of “America is the best”.

It does affect World Prices on Oil.
It’s called supply and demand.
Less oil. Higher oil prices.

There was a scene in NF’s Three Body Problem where a government big wig asked a Naval officer about this big new Arleigh Burke class-like ship and what he thought about it.

“It was built for a non-asymmetrical ware between huge players. I’d have taken the billions this thing cost and bought thousands of drones instead.” Even a ship with multiple CIWS would have trouble getting a huge drone swarm

Funny how all bashed you instead of commenting on the article you wrote.

You should start your own “Bash Canuck” thread. Should be enjoyable.
