#Oil Shockโ€™s Tentacles Grip #WorldEconomy: โ€˜This Really Is the Big Oneโ€™

Countries already walloped by a breakdown of the international #trade #chaos brought on by #Trump #tariffs, #war in #Ukraine & chaotic #US policymaking are facing lasting economic damage.

He noted that the price of Russian #oil had been rising since the #war in #Iran started, & that it was likely that the #sanctions relief could be extended indefinitely.

โ€œI do worry that this is effectively the destruction of the oil sanctions on #Russia,โ€ said Mr. Fishmanโ€ฆ.

About 130 million barrels of Russian #oil is currently at seaโ€ฆ.

The move by the #Trump admin could further divide the #US & #Europe, which has been skeptical of Trumpโ€™s attack on #Iran & has expressed a desire to continue to exert economic pressure on #Russia.
Fishman said he did not think that easing the Russia oil #sanctions would lower prices, noting that the move last week to let Russian oil be delivered to India did not have any impact.

#TrumpsWar #Ukraine #law #geopolitics #economy


The lifting of #oil #sanctions represents a sharp reversal from last summer, when the admin doubled #tariffs on #India as punishment for its purchases of oil from #Russia.

โ€œIn one fell swoop weโ€™ve undone a huge amount of pressure on Russia,โ€ said Edward Fishman, a senior fellow & director of the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.

โ€ฆTop #Senate #Democrats assailed the #Trump admin for easing #sanctions on #Russia, saying that it was done to mitigate a #war of Trumpโ€™s own making.

โ€œThis war has resulted in huge spikes in gas prices for Americans, who are now paying more at the pump than at any point in either of President Trumpโ€™s two terms,โ€ they wrote in a joint statement.

#Russia has faced punishing #sanctions from the #US & the rest of the #G7 advanced economies since Moscowโ€™s invasion of #Ukraine in 2022. Those sanctions have included a price cap on Russian #oil & a crackdown on Russiaโ€™s โ€œshadow fleetโ€ of unmarked vesselsโ€ฆused to evade sanctions.

As #TrumpsWar with #Iran has unfolded, his admin has looked for ways to mitigate the economic pain. His admin temporarily freed Russian oil last week that was sitting at sea to be delivered to India.

#war #Trump


The exemptions, which were issued by the #Treasury Dept, will be in place until April 11. Treasury Secy Scott Bessent estimated that freeing Russian #oil could add hundreds of millions of barrels of crude to global markets [& enrich #Russia], curbing prices that have been hovering near $100 per barrel as a result of the #Iran #war.

The decision was a significant turning point in Americaโ€™s effort to punish Russia for its war in #Ukraine.

The other option? Donโ€™t attack #Iran. Idiots.

#Trump Removes #Sanctions on #Russia to Help #Oil Flow Amid Iran #War

The #US on Thursday temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil that is currently at sea, allowing it to be shipped to buyers around the world as the Trump admin scrambles to contain #energy #prices that have been soaring because of the war in Iran.

Orban is afraid of democracy.

Orban is a puppet of Putin, wreaking havoc and making the EU #parliament dysfunctional, by blocking and delaying #EU resolutions, including crucial aid to #Ukraine.

"Mr Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of russia and china... You turned your country into a banana republic! You robbed your people and enriched your family and friends."

"Under your rule #Hungary has become one of the poorest and officially the most corrupt country in the EU."

Thank you, Moritz Kรถrner for stepping up to the bully. Now, #Hungarian people should do the same. Otherwise, Hungary will turn into another Belarus, or worse yet - russia.

US President Epstein has urged other nations to send ships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, the critical chokepoint for global oil supplies disrupted by his Mideast war.

"This the same president that thinks its #EuropeanUnion allies should shoulder the entire burden for supporting #Ukraine, has repeatedly denigrated their military contributions to past American wars of choice and has threatened to invade Danish territory Greenland."
