Russian oil trading at 86 dollars a barrel now, up from 81 dollars when I posted on this last week. Check that link for the graph. They will be at 100 dollars per barrel very soon, mark my words.

It's working.

Also funny considering...

In November 2022, political analyst Dmitry Drobnitsky appeared on top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov's television show and said that Kazakhstan could pose a threat to Russia. "Let's note that the next problem [after Ukraine] is Kazakhstan because the same Nazi processes that were happening in Ukraine could begin there," Drobnitsky said.

Don't do it Kazakhstan, Russia will pretend to be your ally now but not in the future.

These posts about the oil situation seem to contradict each other.

Crude vs Refined.

Russia is exporting crude oil still, Ukraine is blowing up the refineries which turn crude oil into refined oils like gasoline, Russia needs a lot of that refined oil for domestic usage, so they will have to buy gasoline from Kazakhstan as their capability to turn crude oil into refined oils decreases, in the future, they will have to sell more of their crude oil if they can't refine it or just have it sit there.
