Youre funny on this bullshit. The effects while long terms, are also immediate. That was your argument about oil prices... takes time you said, but the effects to raise the price was near immediate, you blamed Putin. You tried to have it both ways. Russia makes diesel, yet the tanks litter the street and yall sit here shouting how amazing the Ukraine is and how Russia must make them from paper mache or some crap. More likely, fuel which on some days you or one of your little gang also shout about. Putin cant even get fuel to them, so poorly planned... blah blah. You would think he'd have a surpuls with all the cancelled contracts due to sanctions.
Putin has his own refineries so the cost of fuel to him is nothing, pump it, refine it, ship it off to the war and burn it in the tanks.
The cost of oil to the rest of the world depends on the markets it's traded at, we are at the mercy of the futures markets that greatly influence the price of oil.
These are 2 very different things. Local supply and international supply for sale.
Clearly you understand very little about world economics and markets.
You must also be dreaming to think that like the west, Russia will have stock piles/reserves of oil for it's own use in an emergency.
BTW, NATO isn't near, on or around the Crimea peninsula so that argument is also mute. You really are starting to sound like another Putin apologist. Invading a country (but calling it a special military operation to your own people) because of something that may or may not happen in the future is just a ******* poor excuse.
I love an underdog in a good fight so I'm gonna cheer for Ukraine no matter what.
I'm also European by birth, so what goes on there (and what could potentially effect my extended family) does keep my interest. My Grandparents survived living under occupation by Hitler and I'm sure we are going to survive this tyrant as well.
