I'm realistic. I don't care, because it will never happen.

You can fret if you choose.

Selling oil to the Chinese


After what China is doing to fellow human beings, you'd think the socially conscious types would be up in arms.

Evidently ideology is very fluid.

Loud anti Russia Boris Johnson has went down after succumbing to the financial troubles enhanced by the pointless sanctions. Will Biden follow the steps of his cousin across the ocean?


BJ went down because he helped cover up his people who stole things. It had 0 to with Russia or sanctions.

ETA: Biden will likely be shown the door in 2024. He will be replaced by Trump who was the first to give lethal aid to Ukraine and was extra hard on Russia with sanctions, and recently threatened to nuke Russia if he was POTUS; or Ron DeSantis who is no friend of Russia. Sorry but the west ain’t abandoning Ukraine anytime soon or during Putin’s lifetime.

So you are saying you don't know how SR sale downs work nor do you understand how the commodities markets work.

For once you are actually right about something.

The lack of self-awareness you display by assuming anyone respects your opinion enough to give a frick who you dislike is hilarious.

But in reality he is not right.

Like Obtuse is getting at, oil is a fungible commodity.

Oil is a global (mostly) efficient market. The feds releasing SPR barrels is what matter, not who they are releasing it to.

The feds could ban all export of earmarked SPR barrels and it would literally make no difference.

Compared to your demonstration of knowledge per your posts, it might seem that way. Otherwise not even close

With changes in pipeline infrastructure is has little market appeal except immediate geographical areas along the coast from Sweeney, TX to New Orleans, LA. Granted that is quite a large chunk of refining capacity but much of this capacity is not configured to use this oil. It's too light for their product slate

Name the refineries configured to refine this light crude oil and within pipeline infrastructure to take it?

Name them since you know how and where it is used for strategic reasons.

I’m not an expert in oil, dude, but that’s not the point. You never give the Chinese our special reserves under literally any circumstances.


Google “fungible commodities” and report back.

Wonderful motivating statement to the poor conscripts attempting to prosecute this action for Russia with meager support and materiel.

The implication is that Russia isn't supporting their forces as much as they easily could.

I understand that dictators don't have to worry about what they say as much as leaders who derive their authority other ways, but that's a chicken-shite statement that Putin didn't have to make.

Putin is trying to project that their army is much more capable than what they have shown so far.
