@DefMon3 What's wrong with a little carrot and stick. The maximalist approach of the technocrats clearly doesn't work. No one in the west wants to risk escalating the conflict, and we need diesel. Europe is sending $50b for gas this year, because they need gas. The rage is hypocritical.
@Ken_Swe I could give two shits about Russia. They can collapse. It's important to still base reality on facts. They were #2 exporter, now a massive importer. It's a global supply system, and pricing globally is impacted by this fact. Whether they deserve it or not is irrelevant.
@Ken_Swe Looks like March is when prices started shooting up. Right as Ukraine took out 40% of Russian refining capacity.for western clients. Reminder: Hormuz is mostly open and the west released reserves while Ukraine destroyed capacity.
@Ken_Swe No, attacks on a large scale didn't start in November, liar. Peak was July right as the retreat in prices from hormuz in the previous image you showed proved. Ukraine's peak coincidentally was the month Russia halted exports. Hormuz is practically open, it's all Ukraine now.
@Ju_C101@Ken_Swe@NOELreports Nice try bozo. The war started in 2022, arguably 2014, and the US warned Europe of its dependence for over a decade. Look at these arrogant, smug, retarded technocrats giggle. And you blame Hormuz and not the utter failure of my Europe? Whatever helps your ego.
@Ken_Swe@NOELreports "I'm only talking about that thing that makes us look better, while ignoring the shit that doesn't, so I can continue to play narcissist and shame countries helping Russia even less financially. Force them to defend themselves to deflect from our failings"
Ftfy
@Ken_Swe Wild you don't show refinery attacks as well. You'll notice after the US attack, the price was half way back down, and then what happened in July bozo??? After an uptick in Ukrainian attacks diesel spikes. Let's just ignore that fact to satisfy your TDS.
@Ken_Swe Russia was the second largest source of diesel exports globally and now imports. Iran caused the Hormuz crisis, not the US, though we control it now, and barrels passing thru are at pre-crisis levels. We also released reserves. Sweden remains irrelevant & can only lecture. TDS
@kyliandad@IgorKi64621@azovtolik@NOELreports Yeah unfortunately the world moves on despite your problems. Maybe you should go in after the buyers of Russian ckmmodities in Europe. It's much easier to have TDS, I guess.
@attywoo15625@NOELreports 50 BCM in 2026 = $50b+, substantially more than this deal made during a diesel crisis.
And it doesn't include rerouted Russian oil through Turkey and India that's Russian origined and masked.
Dummy
@marcins7710@NOELreports It's been over 5 years and the US spent 15 years warning Europe about the dependence.
No, we don't need this diesel. We are helping calm world prices by absorbing more of it so that the west doesn't get more restless.
And it's a fraction of what Europe sends Russia STILL.
@Ken_Swe@NOELreports ...and how convenient to get an exemption! There's a diesel crisis, I think an exemption here is warranted too, no? Or is it rules for me, not for thee? Typical European mind.
@Ken_Swe@NOELreports Whatever you say to soothe your ego but you're wrong.
$50b (50 bcm worth) of nat gas is being purchased from Russia in 2026 by EU nations including France and the Netherlands. And that doesn't include the masked/rerouted Russian deliveries from India and turkey.
@IgorKi64621@azovtolik@NOELreports 2026 = 50bcm = $50b of nat gas being bought directly from Russia.
Now include the Turkish Indian and other rerouted sources.
Yet Europe tosses shit when we buy $7b (for the global mkt, not us) during a diesel crisis.
@IgorKi64621@NOELreports What year is it bozo? 50 bcm of nat gas = ~$50b. And that doesn't include the rerouted gas and oil from turkey India and others.
@azovtolik@NOELreports You can do more damage by getting the Europeans to stop buying their oil and gas through Russia and intermediaries. 17% of their gas comes from Russia directly, still. Not to mention all the "Indian" and "Turkish" sourcing. Europe is a land of hypocrisy.
