Okay. So what? Is this supposed to be the thing that pushes Putin into the winners circle?Spiking oil prices means more money for Putin, the last thing Zelensky wants. Spiking oil prices also mean it will be impossible to enforce the G7 oil price cap
But this oil spike is transitory.Spiking oil prices means Trump's tariffs will no longer have their inflation masked by lower energy prices. Also the oil price cap is enforced no matter what the price of oil is.
Nuland's plans aren't working out.
Israel-Iran conflict may not end so quickly, even though Israel has a need for it to.
North Korea has now announced it will provide military support to Iran in the current conflict.
I read that as meaning Iran won't necessarily run out of missiles anytime soon. I also more deeply read that Nuland & Co who started Russia-Ukraine war to keep Russia preoccupied and unable to poke its nose into Middle East, have once again neglected all potential possibilities, as Iran has had a history of relations with North Korea too, and has now reached out to it for help.
Iran and North Korea represent a dual problem. The US collusion in the sneak attack on Iran can only tip off North Korea that a similar fate awaits it, just as Libya's Qadafi rudely discovered in the past. Hence, North Korea's motivation to intervene while the odds are better.
This North Korean support does not appear to have been in the contingency planning of Israel or USA. Which means that Israel/USA will now have to lurch into some new ad-hoc stunt to deal with this new development. Could that mean a new military coup in S.Korea? (As we know, the most recent right-wing coup there failed, when their entire citizenry revolted against it.) But leave it to American Cold Warriors to act like a Bull-in-a-China-Shop and trample on yet another country in ham-fisted style, thus further straining their ties with the rest of the world.

Pressure of the western hegemon? Russia invaded Ukraine, thinking the small, weak neighbour would be easy to overcome. Right? Ukraine has proven not so easily overcome. Right? If this fiasco proves disastrous for Russia they have only themselves to blame. If that invasion proves to have been a blunder it will be on Putin.Your arguments also holds for Russia: every day that Russia does not collapse under the pressure of the western hegemon is a victory
Wrong.
Propaganda.
Does Pigtoria sound better then? Because she is indeed a War Pig.Woo hoo! Another double shot!
He won't hold any elections, because he knows he can't win. So he intends to wield power like the unpopular dictator he is.
Elections mean leaving Ukraine's future up to the people, which is something he and his backers absolutely cannot allow.
It might mean the people having the chance to rid themselves of this war they don't want -- and he doesn't want them to do that.
He intends to keep ramming this war down the throats of the people until they're all gone.
He will still keep himself alive, of course, because he dearly loves his own life, even while sending others to their deaths.
If he cared about the lives of the people, he'd seek peace. But he doesn't, and neither do you.
That's why you need to ram this war down their throats, without allowing them any say in it thru elections.
You hope. It does not look like Iran will be exporting any oil for quite a while.But this oil spike is transitory.
Ukraine's Constitution does not allow elections during an invasion. Also Zelensky's approval is over 60% in Ukraine and would win any election they held. Russia needs to hold real elections with more than one candidate but Putin imprisons or kills anyone that opposes him. Putin has murdered a million Russians and shows no sign of stopping. How many Russians must die before the people rise up and rid themselves of the worst mass murderer since Stalin.He won't hold any elections, because he knows he can't win. So he intends to wield power like the unpopular dictator he is.

Even in her retirement, I like how much she frightens you.
The Russians are the recipients of aggression by Nuland and her newly reanimated Cold War Deep State./all sanman threads

Why do you continually side with Putin who murders children?This pesky little Middle East war that's broken out has had a little side-effect -- making OIL PRICES SHOOT UP
