Since November, we have pointed out many times that the United States has created "Russia's annexation of Ukraine" with the intention of robbing Russia of its energy market in Europe, and to undermine economic cooperation between Europe and Russia, laying a discordant wedge on the geopolitics and harming others and self-interest.
If the world believes that Russia is going to fight Ukraine, it will maximize the interests of the United States:Yuan Yuwei, public number: Takitao global macro vigilance against the "Ukrainian war" made by the United States (2) | Takitao Global Macro
- Nord Stream 2 was halted, and what could have been a more intimate Relationship between Russia and Europe broke down;
- Europe is more dependent on U.S. exports for energy;
- Deepening U.S. political influence in Europe;
- Russia was hit hard;
- The demonized Russia is also a great loss to China. The economic or military alliance between China and Russia is an important threat to the United States.
The data that followed also confirmed our prediction that U.S. natural gas exports to Europe would reach a new high, blinken would propose to Europe to export energy to replace Russia, and ask Japan to ship the natural gas that had been sold to Japan to Europe.
We have long known that the US imperialists are shameless and do not want to face, but today we are still shocked...
Let's take a look at 3 news:
First, due to NATO sanctions, demand has decreased, and the 100,000 tons of crude oil shipped by Rosneft to Rotterdam have been delivered at a price of 7.25 US dollars lower than Brent crude oil, and the premium has reached the highest since 2021.

The United States will not sanction Russia's energy sector, including Russian oil giant Rosneft.
Feb 24 (Reuters) - New U.S. sanctions on Russia are not expected to severely target the energy sector, with Russian oil giant Rosneft (ROSN. MM) not likely to be a target of the new sanctions package, Politico reported on Thursday, citing sources.

Third, U.S. refineries are importing crude oil from Russia at the fastest rate in eight months!
Summary:
- U.S. natural gas exports to Europe hit a record high due to NATO sanctions on Russia (before Russia declared east Ukrainian independence);
- Due to NATO sanctions and reduced demand, Rosneft shipped 100,000 tons of crude to Rotterdam at a price of $7.25 less than Brent crude.
- The U.S. will not sanction Russia's energy sector, including Russian oil giant Rosneft.
- U.S. refineries are importing crude oil from Russia at the fastest pace in eight months!
Did the officials find anything strange?
THE US-LED NATO, NOW SMEARING RUSSIA FOR ANNEXING UKRAINE ON TRUMPED CHARGES, AND THEN ECONOMIC SANCTIONS RUSSIA TO REDUCE ENERGY PURCHASES;
→ U.S. natural gas has taken advantage of the void to seize the Russian market in Europe;
→ Russian crude oil wants to discount a new high on market prices;
→ U.S. economic sanctions against Russia, but "spared" the energy sector;
→ The United States imports discounted crude oil from Russia.
After the energy trade flows in the three regions cancel each other out, the actual effect is that
- The United States prohibits Europe from buying low-priced energy from Russia,
- The United States buys energy from Russia at a lower price than the market price and then sells it to Europe at a high price.
I know that the US empire does not want a face, and I am mentally prepared, but I do not know that it is so faceless... Still shocked...
Europe's leeks and cannon fodder are still shouting for US imperialism and overthrowing Russia... The French foreign minister even publicly threatened Putin that NATO has nuclear weapons...
I know that The European White Left is stupid, and I am mentally prepared, but I don't know it is so stupid... Still shocked...
