This is stupidest plan ever.  
- They're trying to punish Russia for invading Ukraine, and limit Russia's cash supplies.  
- India and China say they're gonna continue buying all the Russian oil they want.  

The EU says they're going to buy Russian oil, but cap the price at $60/barrel.

I'm sure they'd love to buy at $60/bbl. In fact I'm sure everyone would love to buy at that price.

I wonder what happens when the price is so artificially low that everyone wants to buy the same item...

Oh yeah that's right, they won't want to sell at that price and there will be a shortage as Russia sells at full price to China and India.

Put a 30% tariff on imports from countries buying Russian oil & gas, and put it in a fund to pay for US support for Ukraine.  Win/win.

I'm going to Costco this afternoon.  
Based on this, I'll just tell the Costco cashier that I'm only gonna pay $25 for a bottle of tequila, because I think that's the fair price.

Link   "According to Bloomberg, China and India are currently buying Russia's flagship Urals crude oil at a massive $33.28 discount to Brent"  Urals is usually just a few dollars behind Brent.  Brent today is $86.44, with sanction busting discount China and India pay about $53.16 today

Link   (2019) "The cost of producing a single barrel of Brent crude oil came in at around $42 for Russian onshore projects, and $44 for offshore projects, IHS Markit estimated."  And I bet that's gone up a fair bit

Without sanctions and at $42 to produce profit would be = $44 ish
After Euro price cap of $60 profit = $18 (reduced 60%)
Sold to China/India after sanction busting discount profit = $11 (reduced 75%)

Russian oil export volume is down a smidge in 2022, so by all measures they are losing a huge amount of net income and a much larger percentage of gross profit

While they try to spin it as punishment for Russia, the world immediately recognizes that this is a symptom of a Europe that is so utterly fucked that they are willing to give money to a man who is openly attempting to invade their continent.

I think Poland should invade Germany and kick their silly asses just on principal.

These dumb fucks deserve to be cold and dark.

Once again the USA cares more about European security than the Europeans.

At a certain point you have to ask, why do we bother?

The EU will NOT match US funding to Ukraine, which is about $100 billion now in total.  The EU will not purchase oil from other places either thereby funding the Russian war machine that we U.S. taxy payers are paying money from our hard labor to help defeat.  

So, we put money into Ukraine to fight Russia.  Europeans put money into Russia at the same time.  That sounds like a recipe for NEVER ENDING CONFLICT!  That is though EXACTLY what the elite want to line their pockets off the misery of the low and middle class and the blood of tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands.

Some insidious and evil people in this world folks. The depravity and greed of the elites is limitless now that to a man and woman none of them believe in God anymore.

That's been Russia's plan all along - starve Europe of energy until they give in.  It's the reason why they've even bothered continuing in Ukraine despite all of the losses they've had, they don't have to win the military battle... they just have to wait until they can win the economic battle.

I think it was Zeihan that suggested the US navy could essentially stop any sea borne trade on the planet if it wanted to.  

I'm kinda shocked the many pipelines running through Ukraine are still intact.   I figured somebody either on purpose or accident would have taken a few out by now.

The theory surrounding the complete lack of attribution for the Nordstream bombing is that if anyone proves that it was Russia, everyone has to stop trading with Russia or the US will stop trading with them.   It's part of our anti-terrorism laws.  

Europe is totally dependent on Russia, so war or not, they're buying Putin's oil and no one will ever officially figure out what happened to Nord Stream.

No wonder that bastard laughs like he does.

There is a sea of oil in the Artic that is now accessible by many EU nations.

They don't need Russian oil.  

Drill in the Artic and your problems are solved Europe.

Problem is they should have started that years ago, because it takes years to set-up those operations. In the interim though they could purchase U.S. oil and the U.S. could increase production.

They would rather though hold to their eco suicide cult beliefs and pretend that getting oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela is somehow "cleaner" for the environment.

Putin's between a rock and a hard place.  Russia can only ship a tiny fraction of their oil production by sea.  They also don't have enough pipeline capacity to make up the loss of European sales to China/India.  They can't store any more oil and if they stop pumping Siberian wells they freeze solid and go offline permanently.  They would need Western oil company expertise to restart those wells which they will not receive.

China/India have no incentive to oppose the price cap because the cap is lower than the discounted price Russia currently offers them.
