Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Putin is bogged down in his war of conquest; his oil export terminals thrashed and refineries burnt. He doesn’t have the ability to do anything else. See also: Syria and Armenia.

china has stepped up with shittons of solar.

Why would he do that if the oil can be sold closer with less risk, for more money?

China's been helping but with solar more than oil.

Russia sent one ship of oil one month ago ig, so theres that. Soviet Union stood with cuba and russia being its successor state have some responsibility. Altho putin wont do much work that doesnt favor his oligarchic friends.

He doesn't have oil to spare, his refineries are on fire or blown up.
