We still want Russian oil.
Financial Times- West eases efforts to restrict Russian oil trading as inflation and energy risks mount
European governments have eased back on efforts to curb trade in Russian oil, delaying a plan to shut Moscow out of the vital Lloyd’s of London maritime insurance market and allowing some international shipments amid fears of rising crude prices and tighter global energy supplies.
The same seems to be true with gas, grain and fertilizer.
Once again proving how vital BREXIT was for the UK. Britain is not bound to the EU, and can act independently. They have no obligation to EU stupidity. No, now they can let the FAKE Tory Govt. follow their own stupidity.
To paraphrase an old joke: “I know what you are, I’m just negotiating the price”.
I guess those strongly held principles, stern condemnations and disdain for Russia are a little flexible when the going gets a little tough.
God forbid we should use Canadian oil.
I guess Justin’s Chinese bosses and other foreign interventionists frown on that sort of thing.
The left appears addicted to “conflict oil”. All they need is to set up “safe” injection zones for their addiction
China views Canadian/ US resources as it’s rightful inheritance, Justin & Joe are well compensated to keep it safe until after the funeral.
How to fund the beat-down of Ukraine without really meaning to and while certainly not caring.
How are the Peace Talks coming along?
No worries for Europe, we have it on good authority that “the Russians are stuck in the mud”. Fact checked by CBC, MSNBC, the BBC and reprinted by many tactical keyboards here.
I’m predicting an “end to the war” by November. If you can’t stand a cold shower in July then you won’t last the winter.
Spin spin spin.
Continual western propaganda and virtue signalling from ALL European “leaders” and western “leaders” is par for the course.
When reality hits, as it always does, they show themselves for what they are.
Phonies.
Frauds.
Dimwitted hucksters.
Corrupt technocrats.
With their lapdog media, loyally following along to carry their water and defend their corrup paymasters.
And Russia comes off still benefitting from the idiotic puffery of all these buffoons, all along.
They built the then 1700 mile Alaska Highway in less than 8 months. If there was a will to get oil and gas to Europe we could build a couple of pipelines in a year. We simply don’t care.
More nefarious than that, I am afraid. Pootin owns a lot of EU decision makers. German and Austrian ex chancellors being the most obvious examples but the tentacles reach much deeper.
You know what would be great? A war with China!
They really don’t want the populace to react they way they should – like Sri Lankans – because, shit la merde, “we had a big part to play in this current situation because we’re near sighted idiots and fundamentally unfit to lead a parade of dung beetles”.
