Is anyone else trying?

Didn't answer my question though.

Chrome, it's very difficult to accept that our President is being blackmailed, but look at it logically.

It explains Trump's fear of and obedience to Putin.

It explains why he treats Ukrainians and their government as he does.

It explains why he acts against everything our country stands for and has been standing for since our Independence.

It explains why he consistantly defends the biggest war criminal and terrorist of the last 50 years.

It has everything to do with the war in Ukraine.

Thanks for the reply.

Didn't Trump say for the EU to take the lead in matters of Ukraine?


Yes. He didn't really mean it, though.

Just like he said Europe needs to pay for its own defense, then Rubio has to go warn them to not think about not buying American arms.

Incorrect. You post more political stuff in this thread than you do War stuff. What is comical......I never see you post on the political board. You are a coward that needs his safe space to post off topic material because you can't defend yourself on the proper board

Exactly what it is. He doesn't have the balls to post on the PB and leave his safe space. You will never see half of this crowd post on the PB again. This whole thread should be on the PB.

Russia REQUIRES near $50 per barrel to breakeven. When Brent price is around $60 it is either breaking even or losing money.

News media dwells on how many Billions per month Russia is selling which may be at a loss or a profit. I can go to Lowes, and buy a pressure washer, with a credit card, then take it to a pawn shop and sell it, to get cash. Now much money did I make or lose?

The news media either misquotes him or partially quotes him out of context since 2016. This is not an excuse but the point is news media is not exactly reliable without full context.

The actual sho nuff Ukrainians, who I know personally, one even served on the front line in 2014 & 2016 and as a drone operator in 2022, don't know how to take him. The one who served in combat is now in the US due his wife needed cancer treatment she could only get here (with expedience needed) His employer since before 2014 is a US company who has been trying to get him to move to the US since before Feb 2022. (BTW, illegals piss him off because he is spending a lot of time to do everything the legal way for he, his wife and daughter)

Exactly, but the budgetary estimates have not caught up yet.
quote:

This year’s budget framework assumes that the average export price of Russian crude oil is $70 a barrel. The 2026 budget assumes an average export price of $66 a barrel. The ruble’s average exchange rate this year is assumed to be 96.5 rubles to the US dollar and 100 rubles to the dollar next year. Under these assumptions, the budgeted deficit for the public sector would amount to 1.7 trillion rubles this year and 2 trillion rubles next year (a deficit of about 1 % of GDP each year).

The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that the export price of Russian oil averaged $63 a barrel during the first three months of this year. Russian crude carried an average discount of $12 a barrel compared to the benchmark of North Sea Dated. If the discount on Russian oil remains the same, the average export price of Russian crude would be about $55 a barrel this year and $53 next year. For January-April, the average RUB-USD exchange rate has been 91 rubles per dollar, which is somewhat stronger than budget assumption. If the ruble’s average rate remains at its April level until the end of 2026, it would average 86 rubles to the dollar this year and 83 rubles next year.

If the Brent oil price as predicted by futures markets would materialise, the discount on Russian oil would remain unchanged and the ruble’s exchange rate would stay at its current level, Russian budget revenues would decrease substantially. The oil price calculated in rubles would be about 30 % less than the budget assumes, meaning that oil & gas revenues raised in 2025-2026 could be about 30 % below budgeted. Without additional measures to reduce the budget shortfall, the budget deficit would rise by about 3 trillion rubles in both years, to a deficit of about 5 trillion rubles (2.3 % of GDP) each year.[/b]

While the the ruble-denominated deficit would be substantially larger in ruble terms than in recent years, it would change little in size relative to GDP.


So with a 3 Trillion ruble deficit in both 2025 and 2026, where will the money come from? Well, we all know that answer:

Would you STFU with your stupid lies. You have already been proven wrong on this topic multiple times.

Russia's production cost per barrel of oil is estimated to be $5–$20 per barrel for most of its oil fields, based on industry analyses and data from sources like the Institute of International Finance and Rystad Energy. This range reflects marginal costs (operational expenses like labor, maintenance, and energy) for mature, conventional fields, which dominate Russia's output. For newer or more challenging fields, such as Arctic or shale deposits, costs can rise to $30–$40 per barrel, factoring in capital expenditures (e.g., infrastructure and drilling).

These low production costs are driven by Russia's mature oil fields, depreciated infrastructure, and a weak ruble, which reduces local operational expenses in dollar terms."

Bullcrap. That is because Grok is searching doofuss inputs.

Per the former Finance Director of Gazprom is around $50 per barrel

Comprehensive Analysis

Russia's oil production cost per barrel is a critical metric for understanding its economic resilience, especially given its role as a major global oil exporter. Based on recent and consistent data from 2025, research shows the average production cost is around $15 per barrel, primarily driven by the efficiency of mature, conventional fields. However, costs can vary significantly depending on the field and extraction method, with some estimates ranging from as low as $5 to as high as $40 per barrel for more challenging projects. This section provides a detailed survey of the data, sources, and factors influencing these costs, ensuring a thorough understanding for readers interested in energy economics.

Data Sources and Methodology

The primary source for the $15 per barrel figure is the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), which published monthly analyses in February, March, and April 2025. These reports consistently state that Russia's average oil production cost is USD 15 per barrel, reflecting operational expenses like labor, maintenance, and energy for mature fields. To verify this, additional searches were conducted for data from international bodies like the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), but no conflicting figures were found in the 2025 context. The CREA reports were cross-referenced, and their consistency across multiple months supports their reliability."

Another CitizenK BS made up story with no verified links or sources. You know everyone knows you are a Fraud Right? Your fan fiction stories without any evidence is comedy in this thread. It also shows how delusional you are along with the other NAFO Trolls
