Guess I just gotta pony up for Doomberg... (_stackers don't pay me enough?!_ #1592058) I do love their energy-first, no-bullshit content.
In May, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer—suffocating on terrible poll numbers and staring down the barrel of a diesel and jet fuel crisis of his own—enraged London’s spreadsheet dwellers by daring to carve out a sanctions exception allowing imports of Russian crude refined in India.
slavery, with extra steps.
"Despite the firestorm, the exception remains, and a full accounting of just how much shadow diesel has made its way to His Majesty’s islands is unlikely to adorn the front pages of the Financial Times anytime soon."

...European Union leaders en route to whatever meaningless talking session they might have been attending on Monday morning...

His failure to end the war in Ukraine swiftly upon taking office and the disastrous decision to go to war with Iran have compounded error upon error, and there is a direct line between these broken campaign promises and the electoral pickle in which he currently finds himself.

You cannot tolerate continued sales of Iranian and Venezuealan and Russian oil and gas paid for in Yuan, if you want to keep the petrodollar afloat.
With the Saudis and UAE joining BRICS and mBridge the challenge to petrodollar hegemony had been accelerating at an intolerable rate.
The collapse of the petrodollar empire looks imminent but Trump can say he did all he could to forestall it.
Europe has of course every right to source energy however it can given the failing and traqic mess created by Trumps desperate measures.
Europe's energy policy: ban Russian gas in public, buy Russian LNG through the backdoor in private, then lecture the world about morals.
136 of 140 LNG cargoes from Yamal, $7B to Putin's war chest, while preaching.
You can't sanction physics. Diesel doesn't care about your press release.
