OPEC has increased the production by around 0.1%. Americans have been releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) like there is no tomorrow. The Biden administration ordered this, because he knows that his party is fucked for the November elections. The issue here is that, once the election is over this gimmick will stop and the crude prices will be back to $120-$130 level. And in the end the American public will suffer. Because they are getting rid of the reserves in SPR when the prices are <$100 per barrel. And most probably it will be refilled when the prices are at least 30% higher.
I don't know what can save the Democratic rating, for example, apart from unleashing an armed conflict with China to protect the freedom of democracy in Taiwan. The war will write everything off. |

This is very important news, I don't know why you guys missed this. This post proves that Russia has imperialistic dreams and they won't stop on Ukraine! They want to rebuild USSR.
If you misbehave and disrespect the Russians, we will again elect Dimon "Fierce" Medvedev as president. You will then remember Putin as the lamb of heaven and Mr. polite adequacy.  |

A strange performance in Kyiv was staged by the relatives of the captured Azov militants who died from the HIMARS strike on Yelenovka. Can anyone explain what this means? |

BTW, NATO is getting more and more desperate. They asked Azerbaijan to attack Armenian forces in Nagorno Karabakh, to create another front against Russia. From what I heard, Azeri forces captured a few villages and a number of Armenian soldiers were killed in drone attacks. There are thousands of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh. If the Azeris attack them, then it is not going to end well for Azerbaijan.
I'm more concerned about the outbreak of ethnic conflict between Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo. Russia is weakly involved in the Karabakh conflict emotionally, but the Serbs and Russian brothers are forever, and if the Serbs begin to be cut in Kosovo, this will probably result in a direct conflict between Russia and NATO. If NATO wants to fight Russia, they know what to do. |

What is that thing Russia is needed to end the war? What is the main thing Russia is needed to end this war? I am really tired of hearing Russia and Ukrain war. This war has been on for about 7 or 8 months or there about. It is that the war is giving them what they want? Why the war? What is the war all about? Russian President should call off the war because war is bad, it displace persons from their original homes. And makes life unbearable. Ukrainische Soldaten nicht kapitulieren. |

The war between Russia and Ukraine had a bigger impact on world economy then i was thinking it was gonna have. Inflation raised a lot in all of the countries around the world and i think Europe lost a lot with this war. In my country a lot of prices really went up. For gas i dont want even to talk about how much the price went up. Hopefully when things get to normal maybe the economy will recover.
Of course, the applied sanctions simultaneously hit the countries that impose them. But their meaning is to, through some voluntary restrictions, cause significant harm to the economy of the state, which will be subject to sanctions. In this case, it concerns sanctions against Russia. But for some reason you do not mention the consequences of the applied sanctions on Russia itself. In a year or two, Russia will turn into a third-rate country with a backward economy. Most likely, it will also not have oil and gas, because the central Russian part does not have them. Russia exploits the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East, from where it pumps their oil and gas. In the aftermath of the military defeat in Ukraine, they are already raising their heads to free themselves from the dependence of the Kremlin. And they will most likely succeed. Having unleashed a war of conquest in Ukraine, Russia itself has signed its own death warrant. They apparently forgot that all the wars Russia won only together with the Ukrainians. Why wait a year or two, even before the sanctions, Russia was a third-rate country with a backward economy. Now it is not yet obvious to an idiot that the sanctions have made Russia stronger, and it is Europe that suffers from them. But the main problem with sanctions is that they are not able to stop the Russian military special operation in Ukraine. What rate and size of economy will Ukraine be in a year or two, when it is already bankrupt? |

You can now say anything. But the fact remains that oil is getting cheaper, Russia is rapidly losing high-priced markets, and the European hydrocarbon market is falling out of Russia's hands. India and China will not help in any way, because. redeem the surplus at a dumping price ... Here, for example, is a real fact - Russia began to stupidly burn gas, which they decided to undersupply to the EU, as part of economic terrorism  Idiot terrorists understand that conservation will mean the destruction of the well, because Russia is a technologically backward country, and without Western technologies it will not reopen wells I read your posts like a humorous magazine. Summary: Russia is falling apart, children are drowning in toilets, grandmothers are praying for Putin, and the Buryats are running out. |

Well China is way more stronger than Russia both in terms of military and financial strength while Tiawan don't have depth in there country like Ukarine. I don't think this conflict may last for week or two as tiawan even with help of usa can't withstand China military might.
In my opinion, both the overestimation of China's military power and the underestimation of Taiwan's defensive capabilities are misleading (especially since defending is always easier than attacking). The soldiers and officers of the People's Liberation Army of China have a lot of training experience, but no real combat experience at all (and training experience is not always successfully extrapolated to real combat operations), and China has not yet completed its rearmament cycle, calculated until 2024, although it has managed to do a lot in this direction. If in the event of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, time is more likely to work for Russia, then China needs a lightning-fast blitzkrieg in Taiwan. If China gets stuck in Taiwan even for half a year, its economy may not survive. |

Japan will not be willing to engage in war, they will just be minding their own business because war is expensive. the ones who got the appetite for it are the rich countries who can dictate where economy is going after a global recession.
Japan is the number one candidate for this war. Japan has a long-standing score with China, Japan openly supports Taiwan, Japan is heavily dependent on the US, Japan has disputed islands with China, and Japan does not have nuclear weapons - so instead of an open US-China conflict, a indirect Japan-China conflict is more likely. ps Japan's Defense Ministry said five out of nine missiles fired by China today landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone. |

Uranium reserves are unevenly distributed across the planet and even more unevenly distributed across the planet are uranium enrichment capacities. Germany's refusal to develop nuclear energy looks less populist and frivolous when viewed from the aspect of dependence on enriched uranium imports. To reduce dependence on Russian gas in order to become dependent on Russian uranium is a dubious deal in the long run. Even the United States cannot now refuse Russian enriched uranium, so you will not find uranium and the state corporation Rosatom on the sanctions lists.
Interesting argument you raise, I had not heard it until now. So what do you think could be the solution for Europe to have enough energy supply? Hydrogen. More precisely, a mixture of 80% hydrogen and 20% natural gas (because hydrogen itself is a very volatile gas). For this mixture, the existing infrastructure of gas pipelines and underground storage facilities can be operated without changes. Moreover, two years ago the European Union published a hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe. Of course, the covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have pretty much confused the cards, but the EU has no other strategy on this issue. |

Germany screwed up. They closed nuclear power plants because of the disaster in Japan, coal fired power plants because of the climate, and now natural gas is scarce and very expensive. Their green plans don't meet demand, and short term that leads to very high prices.
Natural gas is now 10-15 times more expensive than it used to be. But recently, when I washed my hands after visiting as toilet at a gas station, the water was hot instead of cold. They're now limiting airco usage, but still waste energy elsewhere.
I have posted on this topic (nuclear energy) a lot of times. It is the cheapest and cleanest form of energy available. But for some unknown reason, the green party moonbats want to close down all the nuclear powerpants. I am glad that in my country we are actually trying to cut down on thermal power plants and at the same time trying to increase the share of nuclear energy. I believe that there is enough Uranium in this planet to keep the nuclear power plants running for another 1,000 years (230 years according to the NEA, but I believe that it is an underestimation). Uranium reserves are unevenly distributed across the planet and even more unevenly distributed across the planet are uranium enrichment capacities. Germany's refusal to develop nuclear energy looks less populist and frivolous when viewed from the aspect of dependence on enriched uranium imports. To reduce dependence on Russian gas in order to become dependent on Russian uranium is a dubious deal in the long run. Even the United States cannot now refuse Russian enriched uranium, so you will not find uranium and the state corporation Rosatom on the sanctions lists. |

...very briefly, one piece of news, easily verifiable: production, dada, not sale, namely gas PRODUCTION, in Russia has fallen by more than 25%. The process of conservation of wells has begun. These are billions of lost dollars. And it's still the EU has not abandoned oil and gas, from a terrorist country, even by 10% Well, the "icing on the cake" - at the moment, Russia does not have the technology for the re-entry of previously mothballed wells. But even if someone suddenly shows pity and sells to them (and the probability of this is actually 0), this is a VERY expensive complex and time-consuming project! You can't get up in the morning and "get the plug out of the well", this is approximately commensurate with new drilling. By the way - drilling technologies to depths of 500-1000 meters in Russia ... also NO! Greatness in Russian it is! Are you talking nonsense again? The decrease in gas production is not associated with the costly process of well conservation, because gas is not oil. You can easily screw on the valve and then just as easily unscrew it back. And the increase in gas prices due to its shortage in Europe more than compensated for the decline in production. Gazprom produces less, but earns more. |

Meanwhile, the allied troops of the LDNR and Russia seem to have changed tactics in the Donetsk direction and, instead of trying to surround Avdiivka, they are now storming it head-on. The tactic is strange and suicidal in the absence of numerical superiority on the attacking side, yet it is successful.
In the southern direction, the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Kherson is again postponed, so it looks like Russia will have to attack again.

Nancy should call Vinnie's bluff and just go. There's no way China would take any military action against the US, they're not suicidal.

It looks like the video with the castration of the prisoner turned out to be a Ukrainian fake. The video contains: a tactical polo shirt of the Ukrainian company M-TAC, a balaclava of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a Ukrainian pixel uniform (all of the above is on the regular list of equipment for SBU and GUR employees). Cherry on the cake - blue nitrile gloves from the first aid kit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and rare Nike sneakers released for the Ukrainian team in 2008. source |

The most promising future energy, cheap, abundant and that may eventually be easy to produce is hot fusion energy. https://www.iter.orgFor reference: the installation is based on the tokamak system developed by Soviet scientists (Toroidal Chamber with Magnetic Coils), developed in the 50s of the last century by academicians I.E. Tamm and A.D. Sakharov. Russia is the initiator of the ITER project. Russia has complete design documentation for the ITER reactor. Russia occupies one of the key positions in the implementation of the international ITER Project. It looks like your hatred of hydrocarbons is stronger than your Russophobia. |

After waiting for a long time for concrete and sufficient radical results from the leaders of Procecutor and Security Service department, President Volodymyrs Zelensky questions their leadership and has suspended the Procecutor General and Head of Security Service of the country accusing them of collaborating with Russia.
Can President Zelensky's accusations be true?
Did the president make the right decision?
I think the reason for the resignation of the Prosecutor General and the Head of the SBU was a productive missile strike in Vinnitsa on the house of officers, where a meeting of high-ranking military officers was held (at least three colonels of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed). Another "precision posting" by the usual trolls. Which colonels were killed.. in "your thinking"? Head of the Armament and Logistics Service of the Ukrainian Air Force, Colonel Oleg Makarchuk, Colonel of the Ukrainian Air Force Dmitry Burdiko and high-ranking officer of the Air Force Konstantin Puzyrenko. Given that Ukraine has long had big problems with regular officers, one can understand the sharp reaction of Zelensky, who fired a childhood friend from his position. So, if they are shown to be alive, that would be a wrong assessment? There does not seem to be any corroboration of any fact stated other that some obscure "sources", seems just like another rumour. Well, it looks like the rumors were confirmed and turned out to be true. Today, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky published another award decree, where among the 92 posthumously awarded are the dead colonels of the Ukrainian Air Force named Burdiko, Puzyrenko and Makarchuk, as well as a new colonel appears - Zagrevsky Sergey Alekseevich. The decree does not say where the deceased served, but users of the LostArmour resource found a document), according to which Zagrevsky Sergey Alekseevich underwent lustration in 2015 when he served in the military unit A0535 - the command post of the VVSU, Vinnytsia. |

This isn't going to affect the world economy because its already at its worst at the ground level since the implementation of so call lockdown and restricted borders for months which struck the everyone so badly. I am not really sure what are the future plans they had to do with the space things but other countries will work it out soon if even Russia really pulls them out of the international space program.
Russia will launch its own space station ROSS. The ISS is physically and morally obsolete and has exhausted its resource. |

Well played, your childish homemade meme will probably serve its purpose against your target audience. Nice to see you know who they are and how naive they are So you think that this is fake? Are you ready to bet on this assumption, like 0.01 btc? I'll found pro-russian news about this, from LDPR official channels and will take your money. If you're not ready - so shut the fuck up. Noone interested in your bs while you are not ready to bet on it The Liberal Democratic Party is an opposition political party in Russia, it's just that its activities are not prohibited, unlike the opposition parties in Ukraine. I'm not saying it's fake, but there is no hard evidence that it's not fake. In any case, your preoccupation with the castration of a pedophile is amusing. But the directed strike by HIMARS on the colony where Ukrainian prisoners were kept is not a fake. 40 dead, 140 wounded - a successful friendly fire, congratulations. Zelensky executioner, ready to fight to the last Ukrainian. |
