#Oil Shockโs Tentacles Grip #WorldEconomy: โThis 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.
โI do worry that this is effectively the destruction of the oil sanctions on #Russia,โ said Mr. Fishmanโฆ.

About 130 million barrels of Russian #oil is currently at seaโฆ.
The move by the #Trump admin could further divide the #US & #Europe, which has been skeptical of Trumpโs 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.
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.
โIn one fell swoop weโve 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.

โฆTop #Senate #Democrats assailed the #Trump admin for easing #sanctions on #Russia, saying that it was done to mitigate a #war of Trumpโs own making.
โThis 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 Trumpโs two terms,โ they wrote in a joint statement.

Senate Democratic Leaders Release Joint Statement on Trump Administration's Weakening of Sanctions on Russian Oil in Attempt to Dampen Economic Impacts of Trump's Iran War | United States Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
The Official website of The United States Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairswww.banking.senate.gov
#Russia has faced punishing #sanctions from the #US & the rest of the #G7 advanced economies since Moscowโs invasion of #Ukraine in 2022. Those sanctions have included a price cap on Russian #oil & a crackdown on Russiaโs โshadow fleetโ of unmarked vesselsโฆused 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.
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 Americaโs effort to punish Russia for its war in #Ukraine.
The other option? Donโt 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."
Orbanโs election campaign turns to Russia for help in final stretch
The Hungarian president has frequently sought to obstruct the European Unionโs efforts to support Ukraine and punish Moscow for its invasion.Thomas Escritt (The Japan Times)

Russia's drone machine grew while the West watched
During the war in Ukraine, there is a sound that cannot be mistaken for anything else. It is the monotonous buzzing of the engine of an Iranian Shahed attack drone โ the same one Russia has been using en masse since the fall of 2022 to strike UkrainiโฆKarina Buhaichenko (The Kyiv Independent)

What is Trumpโs endgame in Iran as the US-Israel war escalates?
As strikes continue across Iran, US President Trump has articulated shifting goals. But how likely are they?Abid Hussain (Al Jazeera)
At a meeting of the 15-member U.N. SC which is chaired this month by the U.S., Russia and China moved unsuccessfully to block a discussion about a committee established to oversee and enforce U.N. sanctions on Iran. They were overruled 11-2 with two โabstentions.
KYIV INDEPENDENT:
At least 3 killed, 27 injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past day
Russian troops launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile and 126 drones against Ukraine overnight.
