Putin Making More Profit from Oil Now Than Before He Invaded Ukraine

And the Ruble is at a 5 year high against the dollar.
Good job Joe! You really showed him!

US energy security envoy Amos Hochstein has acknowledged that Russia might be making more revenue from fossil fuels than before its February invasion of Ukraine. Washington has responded with waves of sanctions aiming to crush the Russian economy.

Hochstein made the comments during a hearing for the Senate Subcommittee on Europe and Regional Security Cooperation. In response to a question about whether Moscow was making more money now off its fossil fuel sales, Hochstein said, "I can’t deny that."

I read where his profits are up 30% from pre-sanction levels.

But hey the GOP neocons are just as to blame as the dems are. They found common cause with the dems and their PACs grow fat because of it.....How do you think Tom Cotton has suddenly found the money to be "exploring" a POTUS bid in Iowa/NH this early?

They always knew this would happen.

When was the last time they talked about sanctions to China for engaging in open commerce with Russia?

Uhhh fuckin NEVER.

Sanctions never deter...but they help usher in a great reset.

Controlled, intentional demolition of everything.

Covid wasn't about Covid, just like Russian sanctions are not about Russia.

And the next...and the next...intentional...implosion.

False.

The value of his oil is higher than it was in the past. Converting that to currency though sales is not happening.

Of course they are, the world needs oil and we aren't even close to being ready to even start replacing it.

So as countries try to sound like heroes by saying "were cutting oil production for the climate" they turn around and have it brought in the backdoor. The backdoor is always more expensive than the front door because you're paying for something you don't want everyone to know about.

Make all the sanctions you want, other countries that don't sacrifice their nation will still buy it.

America decided to try and cut oil ties but the problem is we have nothing to fall back on. We have no backup, no alternate source, nothing. We pushed ourselves down a flight of steps that has no railing to grab.
