Another agreement that putin makes then reneges on. Big surprise, that
Maybe the UN can give Russia some more demerits? Maybe the EU can put a price cap on Russia's oil. Wait, they already did that.

The way Russia is acting they are pretty sure of the cards they hold (or they're bluffing).

Maybe Europe can get dark and cold this winter unless we cut our own country short and run prices through the roof after the election. I'm betting Ukraine won't be near so popular with the folks of western Europe if they are freezing in the dark.


Europe won’t freeze in the dark this winter. Will it be more expensive for them? Yep and for us also.

The price cap target for Russian seaborne oil to be in effect is late November of this year and not now as you’ve said.

Unlike your boy putin The EU is abiding by the prices for energy according to existing contracts.
I hope we can stop the village idiot from sending any more of our fuel to Europe or China. If we are importing fuel at great expense and drawing down our emergency reserves it is crazy to let any other country have our oil, gas, and coal. Or uranium.

As to Putin, when other countries start making economic war on him, all agreements are annulled. It's war.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
