I’m not sure if they were necessarily promoting it, but I also wonder just how much oil India, China, and all of these countries around the world are actually buying and if they are low-balling it.
And shame on Europe still buying Russian oil. They need to end all buying immediately.
“And shame on Europe still buying Russian oil. They need to end all buying immediately.”
They can’t. They (Germany particularly) have dug themselves a “green” hole and now are absolutely dependent on Russian supplies. There are some Middle East pipeline deals up through Turkey to Europe, but mostly not yet running. That leaves Europe needing tanker supplies from the Middle East and the Saudis, etc., are not going to give them a price break against what global prices to Asia will fetch.
