It is unlikely that Donald will like such an approach of the cunning Indians. But his actions will clearly not please the Kremlin, which, in response to the U.S. attempt to limit the supply of Russian oil to India, decided to use the "trump card" of the CPC Tengiz-Novorossiysk pipeline controlled by Transneft. Previously, they tried to do it quietly. Now, apparently, they decided that the time has come to act openly.JP Morgan analysts indicate that supplies to India are so important to the Kremlin that if they are violated, revenge will not be long in coming. By closing the CPC pipeline from Kazakhstan, where U.S. oil giants Chevron and ExxonMobil have large stakes, the Kremlin will try to protect its exports to India by forcing the U.S. to abandon sanctions in exchange for preserving the CPC status quo.So, the coming days promise to be hot in every sense. Only Putin will miscalculate again, because "suddenly" the Danish Straits may be blocked for tankers going to Russian ports for loading, and Erdogan, at the request of Tokayev and Aliyev, may "suddenly" worry about the environmental safety of the Bosphorus.Meanwhile, the recent fire mushroom in Samara at the Novokuybyshevsk refinery reminds the spoiled and melted brains of Western politicians of how real sanctions are imposed by the Defense Forces of Ukraine (by the way, the height of the flame can be estimated based on the fact that the height of the nearby CHP pipes is at least 120 meters).SourceAbout the author.
