NATO has to establish a no-fly zone over the western part of Ukraine to prevent Russian movement against and capture of the last two nuclear power plants. They need to state that a no-fly zone will be established over the west if Putin advances on those two plants. That will start changing terms being dictated from Putin to NATO which is exactly what needs to happen.
These plants can easily be turned into dirty bombs and it's obvious that's Putin's doomsday failsafe should he ultimately lose, and he will unless he commits far more boots on the ground to hold territory as they advance. They cannot do that now. If he's holding the area of the nuclear plants, and blow them up, he can say, and will, that the Ukrainians did it trying to attack his forces. The column that everyone thought was going to Odessa has not turned, but clearly shows they are going for the nuclear plant above Odessa. That leaves two remaining without Russian force advance on it. Those are in the west, not that far from Poland. |

Plus, there’s no effective opposition to Maduro. Ukraine is clearly effectively opposing the Russians. |

But when America was drilling and oil was cheap part of that was driven by OPEC flooding the market to force US producers to cap wells and stop production at the same time demand dropped (COVID)….it appears to have worked. Biden did shut down pipelines, but the US also had a lot of their production stopped and it’s not easy to get that back going. In many instances the producers don’t want to restart because they’re getting great margins on their current production. Biden can act to bring this down by encouraging US producers to ramp up production (he won’t), and reopen pipeline projects (he won’t). |

From the comment section on Twitter.
"These are not sanctions, but a special financial operation": the editor-in-chief of the Finnish edition trolled Putin. The editor-in-chief of the Finnish publication Aamulehti trolled Russian President Vladimir Putin, using the rhetoric characteristic of the Kremlin to describe the imposition of sanctions against Russia. |

Capping a well (stopping production) can happen quickly. Uncapping and restarting production takes time. There was a big Oil thread back during COVID where this was discussed. People here predicted this situation where the production getting cut in the US would have big ramifications to the price of oil. Granted it was exacerbated by Bidens policies and Russia invading…but still. |
