A shadow fleet of oil tankers is forging ever-closer ties between Russia and Gulf states like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. These tankers emerged in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, allowing Moscow to skirt the West imposing a price cap on its oil. So why have more shadow tankers moved towards these Gulf nations?

I like Russian oil, they are good people and leaders.
What do you expect? The world is tired of America playing judge, jury, and henchman on other countries.
Money laundering at a whole new level.
They are failed to Blame India
Now they are Target becomes middle East 😂
Nato: You can't sell to us anymore
Russia: ok we'll sell it to them
Nato: You weren't supposed to do that.
We Germans still buy Russian gas. But not via a cheap pipeline. We now buy it in India, where the Russian gas is liquefied and then transported to us by ship – at ten times the price in terms of money and environmental impact.
60 bucks a barrel. They never wanted this to end. It’s way to profitable.
Just shows how ineffective are Western Sanctions, Granted there have never been Southern or Eastern Sanctions to compare them to
Do you think that these sanctions have had any effect on Russia at all? On the contrary, they have made the Europeans poorer. There is even an exodus of companies in Germany, which are flocking to foreign countries because of the high energy costs. Has this helped Ukraine at all? Not at all. They will continue to lose valuable people and in the end they will be left alone. Do you think the EU will give back the emigrated women and children? You can forget that. Look what happened to Bulgaria, Romania and the other countries. They will face huge problems with an aging society in the near future. The same applies to Russia,
The planet uses 100million barrels a day and prices are determined globally at the margin. The “margin” is about 5-7 million barrels. If that gets interrupted or gets quickly removed or added to the market? Prices collapse or spike! Neither scenario is good for any country or anyone’s economy. Be they friend or foe. So for a POS country like Russia that goes rogue? They are allowed to continue selling their oil through “alternative” channels and means……..to keep prices stable. It’s agreed upon at the UN in a smoke filled room by oil producing countries. Or at Davos!

Oil is not illegal, ai supercomputer tyrannies are.
The US need a strong leader, Biden was a mistake.
Have any of you watched Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Putin? It's intriguing how media narratives can be manipulated.
It's time to admit European sanctions were a collosal failure.
Wars brings BUSINESSES!😂🎉😢😮😅😊
US is buying fuel from Russia and selling it to Europeans. You have to be stupid to believe US "honesty".
The only people suffering from sanctions against Russia are the countries that imposed sanctions on Russia , for the rest of the world including Russia its business as usual (minus the Russian rebranding of many products that come from the same exact factories the western products came from )
the emirates know exactly what they really doing, they’re exporters doing imports. They’re doing it safe in the knowledge that Western countries don’t want to have the diplomatic fall out
