The Shadow Tankers Sneaking Russian Oil Past Western Sanctions | WSJ

@@jonr6680 absolutely no . UAE for instance had no economic interests from Russia prior to Sanctions since their relations were Coordial . Russia is not seen in the same lens in Asia as what West propagate.

@@jonr6680 Another instance is India which was the only western style democracy in Asia during 1970s yet West chose to support China in its war against India in 1962 and Pakistan in its way against India in 1971 and then in 1999 . In both cases Soviet and Russia backed India in the absence of US support and they won .see after all these do they find fault in them relying ir trusting Russia over West . Problem is every one don't have an "easy to forget " memory like what Westerners have.

In 2023 , an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 0:32

When Trump was president, the US was a net exporter of oil and prices were below $60.

[@sunspot42]

U.S. crude oil exports in the first half of 2023 averaged 3.99 million barrels per day (b/d), which is a record high for the first half of a year since 2015, when the U.S. ban on most crude oil exports from the United States was repealed.
