No, I just accuse you and Barron of being Ivans.
Winston, OM, Texag and others aren't Ivans, just you and JB.

As for what cheap oil does for the US, it makes goods and services cheaper. Gasoline cheaper. It helps to lower inflation. All of this benefits consumers
But we are the biggest oils producers in the world. You are talking about rending 10% of gdp largely unprofitable and blowing holes in several state budgets. $45 oil would be no bueno for our economy.

Putin is upset that Trump threatened him with tariffs and asking Gulf nations to cut prices which would destroy Russia's economy. Has this been discussed yet?

You don't give 2 shits about America, you are just another in the long line of Russian troll farm posters that have graced the thread.

Vol is not an Ivan. He just doesn't support Ukraine. JB is not from Russia. His mother was a whore in Fort Smith Arkansas. He maybe getting paid by the Russians though because he has been pushing their talking points for months. Like within 30 minutes of a new Russian talking point hitting Telegram or X he is posting it here.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov answers journalists' questions after his press conference at the Foreign Ministry:
??Russia has no illusions about Trump, but in itself his desire to establish direct communication between Moscow and Washington is commendable;
??The dialogue between Russia and the U.S. will be restored if the Americans take into account Russia's interests;
??Russia is ready for dialogue on Ukraine on the basis of the 2022 agreements, taking into account the realities on the ground and Vladimir Putin's statements of June 2024;
??Kiev and the West are doing nothing to show a real willingness to negotiate with Moscow;
??China and Brazil's initiative on the Ukrainian settlement is dictated by "the best intentions";
??Pressure on the Russian Orthodox Church is "one of the core components of Russophobia in the West";
??The Eurasian security architecture should replace the Euro-Atlantic one. Its main principle is "regional solutions to regional problems" without negative interference from outside;
??Russia is ready to discuss with the new Syrian authorities the functioning of its military bases, which can temporarily become "humanitarian hubs";
??Russia will protect its citizens and peacekeepers in Transnistria;
??Russia warns Chisinau against using the energy crisis to solve the Transnistrian issue by force;
??Russian-Armenian relations are going through a "difficult period" due to Western actions;
??Normalisation of relations between Russia and Georgia is in the interest of the peoples of both countries

This is not shocking. Trump being given false numbers is not going to help negotiations.
The U.S. are concealing the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to improve Kiev's position for negotiations, according to NYT.
? Western intelligence agencies have been reluctant to disclose their internal calculations of Ukrainian casualties for fear of undermining an ally.
??American officials have previously said that Kiev withholds this information from even the closest allies, writes the NYT.

Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky has sparked controversy by calling for President Volodymyr Zelensky to be removed from office, claiming the leader’s mental health is in decline.
Did Oleksandr issue this statement from jail or did he bail out?

Son, I asked Grok about the @Zlatti_71 account.
quote:
How likely is it that @Zlatti_71 is a russian bot account
Determining whether @Zlatti_71 is a Russian bot account involves analyzing various indicators of bot behavior and cross-referencing with known tactics of disinformation campaigns. Here's a breakdown based on available information:
Indicators of Bot Activity: Volume of Posts: @Zlatti_71 has an extremely high volume of posts, with over 92,000 tweets specifically about the Ukraine conflict. This level of activity can sometimes indicate automated or semi-automated posting, a common trait among bot accounts. However, human-operated accounts can also post frequently, especially if they focus on a niche topic.
Content and Messaging: The account often shares pro-Russian viewpoints and critiques of Western narratives regarding the conflict in Ukraine. This aligns with known Russian disinformation strategies that aim to sow discord or promote specific political agendas.
Cross-platform Presence: @Zlatti_71's presence on Telegram with a similar focus and content type could suggest an organized effort to disseminate information across platforms, a tactic sometimes used by bot farms or coordinated influence operations. However, this alone doesn't confirm bot status since many individuals use multiple platforms.
Engagement Patterns: While specific engagement metrics like retweets or likes aren't detailed in the search results, the account's high follower count and the nature of its content suggest it engages with a community interested in Russian perspectives on global politics.
Detection Tools and Methods: Bot Detection Tools: Tools like Botometer can analyze account behavior, but there's no direct mention of using such tools on @Zlatti_71. These tools look for signs like repetitive tweeting, lack of personal engagement, or unnatural follower-to-tweet ratios.
Stylometric Analysis: Research has shown that bots often have a more structured or formal writing style compared to human users. However, without access to the specific content's style, this cannot be directly assessed here.
Evidence from Web Results: General Tactics: Web sources discuss how Russian bots operate, focusing on misinformation, promoting divisiveness, and supporting Russian government narratives. @Zlatti_71's content aligns with these tactics, but this is circumstantial rather than definitive evidence of being a bot.
Conclusion: While @Zlatti_71 exhibits some behaviors that could be attributed to a bot or part of a coordinated campaign (high volume of posts, focus on pro-Russian narratives), there isn't conclusive evidence from the available data to label it definitively as a "Russian bot."
The likelihood of @Zlatti_71 being a bot account would require more detailed analysis, such as: Direct use of bot detection tools. Examination of account creation patterns, follower authenticity, and engagement quality. Cross-checking with databases of known bot accounts or operations.
Given these considerations, without specific bot detection analysis, the assessment leans towards "possible but not confirmed" based on the information at hand. It's essential to approach such accounts with a critical eye, understanding that even if not a bot, the account might still be part of a broader influence campaign.

F**k Russia. This is America's world. You do as we say or we make you pay. Lavrov should be begging us not to drive oil prices down too much.
