Sure - trust the politicians, they know what's best for us. How many boosters are you on now??

@ClownCarCoup LOL that's true on its own but the point of the oil price cap was explicitly NOT less of the product. It was to minimise Russian revenue but without impacting the volume magnitude exports. No, it's charisma my dump stat :)

Yeah people like him are why Russia invaded Ukraine.

The rest of the world outside of the West looks at Nordstream and listens to the Western narrative on Ukraine and becomes ever more sympathetic to the Russian/Chinese point of view. If you're advocating terrorism, Russia can also cut subsea cables and blow up pipelines and deny it was them, just as unconvincingly as the Americans can.

Sure. And if you go down that route, Russia starts sinking Western ships and cutting the Atlantic cables. What then? Nuclear war? Or West backs down?

Plenty of people pointed out the oil price cap would backfire, all it did was antagonise oil producers. When he says not working as well as expected, he means as he expected.

@ClownCarCoup LOL So a price cap on a resource puts upward price pressure on the market! Have you heard of economics? You should look into it.

@ClownCarCoup I didn't really answer your question which oil producers did it antagonise. Well most of OPEC+ but most noticeably, Saudi Arabia. Which now looks to be permanently lost as a US ally. Look at the expansion of BRICS+. This is overwhelmingly the result of sanctions. For example the Indonesian government explicitly said the danger of sanctions is why they needed to move away from SWITCH.

@spencerburke It's hardly the economic collapse the advocates of sanctions predicted at the start of the war though is it! Yeah ordinary Russians have to pay more now for their phones and cars. But Russian armaments production is up heavily since the start of the war, even the NYT admits it.

@AjayTiwari-en9nz If the US sanctions India, India just says f. you to the US and looks for closer ties with Russia and China ... and Iran, Brazil, Indonesia etc. India is too big to bully.

@milesb2111 He said India gets most of its oil from Russia, not that Germany did.

Because their economic is built on natural resources and engineering, whereas the US economy is built on lawyers, diversity consultants and unfunded liabilities.

The lesson Ukraine taught the world outside of the Western media propaganda bubble is that underestimating Russia gets your country wrecked.
