Russia launches invasion of Ukraine - MASTER THREAD

[Beercules]

Venezuela and Iran have their own oil reserves, why would they buy from Russia something they themselves sell?

Syria or Iraq might buy form them, but they won't buy as much as Europe. Even China is not buying from Russia as much as Europe.

Putin miscalculated and he now is starting to realize that.

I'm not with Russia. Do not get me wrong.


He ****ed up.



but now everyone is paying, literally.


Don't rely other United States to fix these problems.

Venezuela is a CIA state and much like Cuba. They are fine with their own oil.

Happy with Russian aid too.

How will they make more money from selling at a discounted price?

Because the discounted price will still be higher than where it was before the sanctions.

China will work around the sanctions

To get round the restrictions, Chinese companies are using open accounts that allow the customer to buy goods on a deferred payment basis, with a requirement to pay in full up to three days after the cargo is loaded, the sources said. They could not be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.

and India to increase Russian oil imports...

India is said to be working on the mechanisms that would allow it to purchase cheaper oil from Russia using its national currency, the Rupee, according to sources familiar with negotiations. Last year, Russia's oil shipments to India averaged 43,400 barrels per day (bpd), a marginal amount when compared to the 4.8 million bpd in India's total oil demand. That might soon change. Bloomberg reported that the country's top refiner, IOC, bought 3 million barrels (bbl) of Russian Urals crude via tender for May delivery -- its first purchase of the grade since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.

Also, Turkey has no plans to cut out Russian oil, and will likely increase imports...

Russia is a bum country because their bull**** government steels all the money. 10s of millions don’t have a toilet ffs.

Putin needs to go

Joe Biden keeps saying what USA will NOT do, instead of shutting up and or saying what we will do.

Even if we had no intention of putting boots on the ground, and or closing off the airspace in Ukraine, you don't announce those things openly. Its such a weak move. Would Putin ever announce what he wouldn't do? The latest show of weakness is not transferring old soviet planes to Ukraine. Super weak, Putin won't do sh it if that happens, and all it does it shows fear and weakness, its very frustrating.

During this whole thing America has led from behind, because Biden is weak. Europe actually were the ones who took charge and started levying the toughest sanctions first, Biden just followed suit.

I actually agree with Biden making it clear that he wont go to war over this. The prospect of war sends the markets in a frenzy, and since he wont do it, what would be the point of going through empty threats? Other leaders have also made that clear by the way, not just Biden. Its the whole point of NATO, we not going to war over countries we not allied with. Bombing Russia aint the same as bombing Iran.

Russsia's GDP was smaller than South Korea's before this war despite having 3x the population. Their massive military is the only reason they were viewed as a superpower, now we are seeing the majority of their equipment is scrap.

They mean well, buy all they are doing is fanning the flame. Kyiv is already being shelled now.
