In Major Win For Putin, US Grants Russia License To Sell Oil To India While Strait Of Hormuz Is Blocked

US cannot "grant" anything to Russia because Russia doesn't care and will do as she deems necessary and the US will pound sand. India, on the other hand, in a humiliating move for India, WAS "granted" a license to BUY Russian oil. Cope harder, fanboys. 

Well, Too Bad.

I can sense the frustration, but Trump needs to understand the game--warfare, real one, not some BS from Afghanistan and Iraq. 

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he was “very angry” and “pissed off” when Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership, adding that the comments were “not going in the right location.”  Agence France-Presse reported that Putin on Friday called for a transitional government to be put in place in Ukraine, which could effectively push out Zelenskyy. “If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault — which it might not be — but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,” Trump said in an early-morning phone call with NBC News on Sunday.

Well, I get his frustration, but he seems to not understand the reality still, despite obviously better (sort of) intel he begins to get. Nobody in Russia cares who Trump assigns the blame to--Russians have a very good understanding of the workings of American politics and military. That is why most of the comments in Russian social media as a reaction to NYT piece about US involvement in 404 was met with laughter and even mockery. Trump's time on SMO is running out--he, the US that is, in no position to dictate conditions, Russians are. 

Trump now begins to come across as this "tough guy" who never fought in real war with real enemies. 

He rages inside, because Russia stood against combined West and defeated it. He also doesn't understand the real war, because his "experiences" simply do not fit into the 21st century warfare but he cannot accept reality--this is precisely why the US loses its wars and then champions pseudo-military "excuses" for not winning those. Trump still has some lucid moments, but it seems his nature takes over him, despite the fact that on personal level I applaud some of his actions on the domestic front. 

Speaking of history. 211 years ago, Russian Army entered Paris:

Napoleon abdicated. 

Ah, Those Lovely Double-Standards.

Albeit one has to admit that the US "price cap" thingy is mostly for PR (what's new) since the WH went on record today that it kinda, sort of, will not really "punish" anyone buying Russian hydrocarbons "above" cap price. Sure, when even WSJ comes up with this title...

That tells you a lot. It also gives you a glimpse into the real economic balance of the world and it is drastically not in the West's favor, to put it mildly. Oh, boy! 

Russian liquefied natural gas shipments increased in October to nearly a record, illustrating how the world is struggling to curb its dependence on the major supplier ahead of winter. LNG exports from Russia rose 1.1% year on year in October to the highest level since March, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg since 2016. That is in stark contrast to plummeting pipeline flows to Europe following the deterioration of relations between the West and the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine in February.

Something, certainly, doesn't add up in the Matrix. But this is only for people who continued to ignore REAL economic and other data from Russia in the last 7 years. And now, the only thing which is left for neocon cabal is to continue to push utterly false narrative about Russia "using nuclear weapons" in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable--a defeat of a collective West in 404. Dmitry Orlov wrote a fabulous piece on the matter:

The Cuban Missile Crisis is a malicious misnomer. Cuba never had any nuclear missiles; it temporarily played host to some Soviet ones. The crisis started when Americans put their intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Turkey that posed a new threat the Soviet Union, which responded by placing similar missiles in Cuba, evening the score. The Americans flew into a rage but eventually calmed down and withdrew their missiles from Turkey. The Soviets withdrew their missiles from Cuba and the crisis was over. And so it should be called the American Missile Crisis. What’s happening now couldn’t be more different. Unless you spent the last few weeks hiding under a rock, you have probably heard that some sort of new nuclear crisis is underway because of “Putin’s nuclear blackmail” or some such. Some people have suffered nervous exhaustion as a result, neglecting their duties and generally letting themselves go. Take former British PM Liz Truss, for instance. The poor silly thing latched on to Putin’s words that “the wind rose can point in any direction” (a factual point about the utter uselessness of tactical nuclear weapons). She then allowed the British economy to go into free-fall while she obsessively tracked the wind direction over the Ukraine. It all ended badly for poor Liz. Don’t be like Liz. I am here to tell you that there is nothing going on beyond the usual—the usual Western propaganda fakery, that is.

Are we about to start hearing about US military casualties in 404? They did happen and continue to happen on a serious scale, as is the case with other NATO "volunteers". We may, but don't hold your breath... but Midterms are coming.
