Russia's main oil product is trading way below the $60 price cap as just a handful of buyers keep up trade with the heavily sanctioned nation

[GinBoy2]

So, to sum up this thread for a couple of trolls, or morons, you choose.

 

1. The entire Western 'free' press is in a vast conspiracy to distort the truth, even though they can rarely agree on domestic news.

 

2. Russia eliminated all independent news outlets since they distort the truth, and only State media is to be believed

 

3. Russia never attacked anyone it was a defensive action against a Nato backed Nazi regime. I had a hard time writing that one without laughing

 

I think those that feel this way should be hot footing it back to Moscow to sign up for the fighting forces in the glorious defense of the Motherland, then head off to Ukraine and check it out for yourself!

So, is your problem my "unusual manner"  or the matter - perhaps for you "unusual"? 

Seems that I was not so far when few posts above I spoke about racism or chauvinism. Wasn't that a reaction on your comment? 

Not unusual for me alone; your written English is definitely subpar.

 

I didn't comment on your racism and chauvinism nonsense because it had nothing to do with the post that you replied to.  It was an obvious, poorly written deflection.

A previous comment of yours:

"If you were able to read a bit news from European countries where there are millions of Ukrainians - and not only women and children - how the citizens are happy to have them around, many of them with thick cars, they see so many around with the UA signs.  (and the unpleasant news despite the strong censorship that's has been established by the EU regimes withing last two years)"  

Whether you believe everything what you read? And giving that as a proven evidence?  Especially, when it's concerning a war.  Haven't we read so much about the recent wars, all nothing but the truth?

 

Same case like the figures of inflation. Just few months ago it was the highest in 40 years. Suddenly it drops substantially.  (It reminds me how some figures can change substantially over night.) Everybody's now happily surprised how cheap the livelihood is getting...

The reason it is not only women and children is: The ban on leaving the country does not apply to single fathers, men who have three or more children, and people with disabilities. Students of foreign universities, drivers of humanitarian aid transports, as well as persons with permanent residence abroad are also exempt from the ban

Please stop confusing him by giving real facts and figures.

Well one of the reasons inflation has dropped, is that Europe pretty amazingly has pivoted from Russian gas to LNG so fast, which I have to say surprised me.

 

So the mighty Kremlin shot another bullet into foot.

 

Russia's economy is basically a one trick pony, Energy.

 

Destroy oil and gas exports and there is not a lot left to keep lining the coffers

 

I'm assuming you are Russian and fully drinking the Cool Aid, but when history is written this will go down as one of those historic folly's, albeit with a tragic human cost

A nice example of the sheepish belief: 

The real facts and figures are surely in the "independent" media... Not as found on the ground of the host countries?
