    Dude, it's all over the internet.


    Looks like India had one big month.

    I hate citing CNN but this article seems fine - it's about crude imports

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/28/energy/eu-us-oil-imports-overtake-russia/index.html

    "Russia has found new buyers for its oil keen to snap up barrels at a steep discount — Moscow’s Urals crude is currently trading at $54 a barrel, compared with $78 a barrel for Brent crude, the global benchmark.

    India and China, in particular, have ramped up oil imports from Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.

    Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov said Tuesday that Moscow had successfully rerouted the “entire volume” of exports of crude oil and oil products lost due to Western sanctions, according to comments reported by TASS, a Russian state-owned news agency. Yet the ministry expects Russian oil and gas production to fall this year, with gas extraction hit by the lack of European buyers, he said."





    sounds like Putin is a genius again!
    WTI (West Texas Intermediate from the sweet crude of the Permian Basin) is the standard in the US. Brent crude is a global measure

    WTI used to be more expensive than Brent. But good old USA ingenuity and know how (fracking) flopped that. So the quality of the petroleum is better and cheaper when produced in the US. And no fucking potential for oil spills at sea.

    The spread between WTI and Brent gets larger when there is geopolitical uncertainty.

    WTI dropped below $70. So still way fucking more than Putin's cheap ass sludge but that's because the market is fucked up (Thanks, Cho Bai Den).

    Pretty clear that our hypothetical MBA and PGOS missed a few basic business classes. Who knew that transportation costs and innovative manufacturing gives one a cost advantage. The dazzler still has a hard time with taxes being a cost element. Not sure that PGOS understands "cost element". Might want to pull up some sample cash flow and ROI calcs on the internet.

    Germany's economy was three time bigger than Russia's when this started. For some reason, the Germans aren't interested in defending the Ukraine, but are happy for Uncle Sugar to do it for them. They were also happy to sign on to be dependent on Russian energy. You should appreciate knowledge bombs from your educated intellectual superiors. But when feelings are more important than facts it's off to denial land.

    Germany has provided 14 billion Euros worth of shit to Ukraine thus far, and is also training Ukranian soldiers in Germany in tandem with the US:

    https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/aussenpolitik/laenderinformationen/ukraine-node/ukraine-solidarity/2513994

    I've said all along though, that Germany and France in particular do less with more. They should take on a bigger portion of this stuff.

    But, part of that is because Germany is essentially a modern colony of America. Sucks to lose.

    Lastly, your point about the German economy being 3 times larger than Russia's is an astute one, though not for the reason you presented it. Italy and Canada have bigger economies than Russia.

    Russia has a pathetic economy relative to the population. And it's all from gas.

    They don't innovate anything and haven't since the early 80s. Their top of the line stuff is getting its ass shredded by last generations NATO leftovers.

    Russia needs to come to terms with the fact that it sucks, and start seriously developing a service based economy. It's fucked.

    Maybe. I forget the year, but Putin astutely noted that he thought the US economy was basically just buying and selling each others houses. He's right to some degree there, lots of elements of GDP are fake shit propped up by fake money that serve little utility other than their ability to generate more of each. Gas is real.

    Ah, grasshopper, but Russia like most sh*t holes don't have to do what we desire. So, why don't the Euros take care of Russia on their own? Because of your support for our MIC that doesn't give a sh*t about the Ukraine, but loves the dollars. If someone wants to make the Russians do something, let the Euros do it. They don't want to because they don't give a sh*t either. You still have a lot more feeling involved for a corrupt POS like Zelensky than you do about the US border.

    All this surplus shit rotting away that was built to withstand the great Russian invasion of Europe

    Now, in the hands of Ukraine its stopping Russia at the border

    fucking funny, if you have a sense of humor, which the Tug doesn't on this topic unless it's calling Zelensky short. As if you idiots didn't know Putin is about all of 5'4"

    I hate citing CNN but this article seems fine - it's about crude imports

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/28/energy/eu-us-oil-imports-overtake-russia/index.html

    "Russia has found new buyers for its oil keen to snap up barrels at a steep discount — Moscow’s Urals crude is currently trading at $54 a barrel, compared with $78 a barrel for Brent crude, the global benchmark.

    India and China, in particular, have ramped up oil imports from Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.

    Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov said Tuesday that Moscow had successfully rerouted the “entire volume” of exports of crude oil and oil products lost due to Western sanctions, according to comments reported by TASS, a Russian state-owned news agency. Yet the ministry expects Russian oil and gas production to fall this year, with gas extraction hit by the lack of European buyers, he said."





    sounds like Putin is a genius again!
    WTI (West Texas Intermediate from the sweet crude of the Permian Basin) is the standard in the US. Brent crude is a global measure

    WTI used to be more expensive than Brent. But good old USA ingenuity and know how (fracking) flopped that. So the quality of the petroleum is better and cheaper when produced in the US. And no fucking potential for oil spills at sea.

    The spread between WTI and Brent gets larger when there is geopolitical uncertainty.

    Oil price superiority guy - every board has one.
    Pretty clear that our hypothetical MBA and PGOS missed a few basic business classes. Who knew that transportation costs and innovative manufacturing gives one a cost advantage. The dazzler still has a hard time with taxes being a cost element. Not sure that PGOS understands "cost element". Might want to pull up some sample cash flow and ROI calcs on the internet.

    PS Giving your sh*t away is not in the Revenue category.
    It doesn't take an MBA to see that Russia's economy is far more fucked than Germany's is - which was my point

    I do appreciate the oil superiority guy hot talk, however
    Germany's economy was three time bigger than Russia's when this started. For some reason, the Germans aren't interested in defending the Ukraine, but are happy for Uncle Sugar to do it for them. They were also happy to sign on to be dependent on Russian energy. You should appreciate knowledge bombs from your educated intellectual superiors. But when feelings are more important than facts it's off to denial land.
    Germany has provided 14 billion Euros worth of shit to Ukraine thus far, and is also training Ukranian soldiers in Germany in tandem with the US:

    I've said all along though, that Germany and France in particular do less with more. They should take on a bigger portion of this stuff.

    But, part of that is because Germany is essentially a modern colony of America. Sucks to lose.

    Lastly, your point about the German economy being 3 times larger than Russia's is an astute one, though not for the reason you presented it. Italy and Canada have bigger economies than Russia.

    Russia has a pathetic economy relative to the population. And it's all from gas.

    They don't innovate anything and haven't since the early 80s. Their top of the line stuff is getting its ass shredded by last generations NATO leftovers.

    Russia needs to come to terms with the fact that it sucks, and start seriously developing a service based economy. It's fucked.

    Maybe. I forget the year, but Putin astutely noted that he thought the US economy was basically just buying and selling each others houses. He's right to some degree there, lots of elements of GDP are fake shit propped up by fake money that serve little utility other than their ability to generate more of each. Gas is real.
    Now this is an MBA take

    I don't even know where to begin with this

    it's like coming in 30th place, or whatever Russia is in, and then saying the game sucks.
    The point is, you can only get away with being a pariah state if you sell gas. The culture isn't there to do what you suggest.

    WTI dropped below $70. So still way fucking more than Putin's cheap ass sludge but that's because the market is fucked up (Thanks, Cho Bai Den).

    So to recap. Joey has forced the world to buy shitting sludge from Puty which is bad for the environment and enriches the dictator. Liberal mental illness in action.
