That price per barrel breakeven is likely due internal sales, rather than international sales. Most refineries are inland unlike the US with most near the coast.
Of course, tight shale crude in the US was already going to take a hit with drilling budgets slashed ahead of 2025. It's not just that some Arab nations have turned on the spigot, but that there are new fields coming online this year and next year globally. 1 million more barrels here, another there begins to add up. If Libya gets its shiite together it will be even lower.
The recent Russia-Venezuela pact doesn't make a rats arse, Rosneft has been in Venezuela for a decade and still hasn't been able to increase production appreciably. The Chinese have been there just as long with the same results.

Russia was planning the 2014 invasion since at least 2007

It is beyond ironic that Gabrielius Landsbergis would be a citizen of the USSR if it weren't for the US "worldview." The fact he so easily forgets that speaks volumes.
Do you mean Reagan's small wars and crashing USSR's economy with getting the Saudis to pump more oil and crash the price? Do you mean because Gorby allowed Soviet states to have control of their destiny and voting to leave the USSR?

You pay too much attention to YOUR media outlets. Putin's speech in Munich of that year all but said, we are getting all those nations back. I have found that the vast majority of journalists are clueless but good writers or look good on TV. The same goes for the vast majority of bloggers. It matters little what political ideology they have
There was more than enough capacity with Brotherhood Pipeline system to expand a little to supply Germany and much less expensive than building Nordstream. The problem for Putin was that it mostly went through Ukraine.

So you're saying Gabrielius Landsbergis should be grateful, not to the US, but rather to Mikhail and Mother Russia for his freedom? Good Lord dude!

Did Putin, Medvedev, or others warn of a Red Line regarding any of those countries and NATO? No?
This has zilch to do with media outlets or your favored sources. It has to do with facts, and history.

Do you believe the “coup d’etat” happened and then Russia came up with their plan to take Crimea and openly move into the Donbas?

If you believe Russian plans predated the coup, yet we were so unaware as to presume we could be openly hands-on in the Maidan Nezalezhnosti events, it's a hell of an indictment against our intel and MIC communities.

Russia had plans to take Crimea before the overthrow. The speed in which it sll happen indicates that,
And who had any faith in Obama and our intelligence agencies?
You give them more credit than I do.

JB is trying to divert attention from the war; I guess there’s little real war news.
