Putin the Checkers Player

Saudi Arabia is scoring record profits while Putin is selling at 40% discount just to keep some oil flowing. India and China have Putin bent over in the prison shower. His military equipment is substandard while his troops are poorly trained and strategy is soooo WWII, with advances getting chopped up after gains are made.

Russia is a very good argument for term limits.

Yay! Does Saudi making an 80% surge in profits mean I can start paying even MORE for gasoline, now?

... and rumored to have leukemia. Not a very stable situation

I’m just going to play it safe and assume the cancer thing is fake news, and that all we can do is guess and render expert opinions that suggest he’s in store for epic fail, but equally as possible is a scenario wherein as far as he/they are concerned, things are going relatively as they expected (or perhaps had contingency plans for most of these situations), and there are elements of the overall war plan that have yet to be executed which are more effective strategies that they’re reserving until key times a bit later in the game.
Since we’re only speculating, figured someone needed to throw caution to the wind with an against the grain take.

When is the last time you saw a solid Russian economic policy in place?

This entire topic is filled with nothing but rumor and innuendo when it pertains to this board. Speculation about Putin's health, who's " winning " , and whatever other nonsense can be argued over is just par for the course.

The oil part is not speculation. Both China and especially India both have Putin bent over and putting it to him. Income from oil has dropped substantially for Russia while it has soared for China.

IMO, cancelling Keystone XL is the main offender. Gulf Coast refineries sure could use that heavy crude. They are maxxed out on home much of the tight shale crude they can refine. Drilling onshore will help Europe, not here,

So the Ukrainian military does not need the $40 billion we are sending them?
Awesome.
Awesome.

Neither is the part about his forces getting chopped up and his getting pushed out of the Kharkiv region.

Of course. I’m aware. Was only submitting a bit of a different take on the speculation as to current situation on the ground for Putin and them. Also with the kicker opinion that when it comes to war maybe the more prudent assumptions are that the game’s completely up for grabs all the way to the final whistle. If I may.

Russian Oil Revenue up 50%

Keep me posted on when you'll break down the Russian military strategy for the board. Thanks.

Forgot to mention russia is getting paid in rubles for their oil and the ruble is the best performing currency in the world vs the dollar in 2022

Seems like propaganda. They are selling a lot to India at 40% discount, when they sold none before, which has been well documented, and China at 35% off. Europe is stupid enough to pay full price, but the increase in tight shale production here forecast to be 1 million BPD extra will likely all go to Europe. We also know that 2 million BPD is shut in due flaring at those big wells is not occurring.

Thanks for posting. I was skeptical but was willing to give the other a chance to provide a link. This makes a lot more sense. Obviously if they were selling at a 40% loss while others were selling at enormous gains, it would create a flood of profitable middle men to bid on the discrepancy, and close the huge gap.
