ok I'll ask it in a different way

If Russia is still selling oil to the world even if its different buyers the world supply of oil has not changed

so how does this affect the price

the only way price would be affected is if theres less oil on the market

if Russia continues to supply oil to the market the over all supply will remain unchanged so why is price affected

EU imports nearly 30% of their oil from Russia. Can China really take a bulk of that 30% - even at a discount? The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Italy, Finland, and Slovakia buy a ton of their oil from Russia.

And if Russia doesn't have as many buyers buying as much oil, they'll have to decrease production which would also decrease world supply. And if they have to keep selling at massive discounts- it could become too expensive for them to keep producing the oil.

Putin has been pretty clear that he wants to topple the existing government, and his military actions thus far are completely consistent with that.

He says he doesn't intend to occupy it.  But he's going to install a puppet government which will result in Ukraine effectively becoming a Russian satellite state once again, so if the Ukrainians truly want to govern themselves, it'll be a long, ongoing insurgency.

Dumbest post....ever?


A - no amount of armed citizens is going to hold off a 21st-century foreign power from taking over
B - the argument for armed citizens is to defend against it's own tyrannical government
