🛢 Oil sanctions on Russia signal how out of touch US is with reality

💬 “If you…restrict the supply of critical thinks such as energy and fuel into the US, the price is going to go up. It’s basic economics,” veteran political analyst Dr. Greg Simons told Sputnik, commenting on the situation on oil global energy markets after the US’s sanctioning of Russia’s biggest oil companies.

The US’s “obsession” with “economic warfare” and the idea that Russia could be strongarmed into submission don’t match up with reality, Simons said.

📍 “You have a certain sense of ideologically-driven policy and this messianism inside that, but absolute and utter ignorance concerning the predictable results and effects,” the Daffodil University journalism professor emphasized.

🇺🇸 “The US still seems to think and believe that they are this unchallenged, absolute hegemon that emerged in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union,” Simons noted. “This is no longer the case,” with the US in “serious trouble,” but unable to temper its ambitions based on its actual material capabilities.

👉 When it comes to trade and economic warfare, “the US needs Russia far more than Russia needs the US,” and if push comes to shove, Washington could be left without “critical supplies” it needs to keep its economy going, Simons stressed.

🇺🇸 🔥US sanctions on Russia backfiring on global markets

"The effect of sanctions against Russia’s two largest oil companies is already being felt — oil prices have risen by 5%," Lebanese energy analyst Mark Ayoub told Sputnik.


🔊 "This rise will put pressure on the US economy in the coming months, especially given existing problems like the government’s partial shutdown and rising inflation," he warned.

📍 Ayoub noted that sanctions take time to show results, but Russia has already adapted to Western restrictions.

He added that Asian markets are being hit hardest as Washington pressures them to stop buying Russian oil and switch to more expensive US energy supplies.

🎤 US and Russia united by traditional values — Dmitriev

RDIF head Kirill Dmitriev states Moscow shares more common ground with Western conservatives than differences:

▫️ Agrees Trump is "savior of Western civilization"

▫️ Calls Biden's immigration/transgender policies "crazy"

▫️ Sees Europe's migration policy as "suicide of European civilization"

▫️ Says Obama's Russiagate created "fake narratives" about Russia

"I think we all care about our families. We all care about education of our children. We all care about having good economy, good growth, and we are much more similar," Dmitriev said.

🚨🇷🇺 Putin: Russia’s response to any Tomahawk strikes on its territory would be serious — if not stunning "This is an attempt at escalation, but if such weapons are used to strike Russian territory, the response will be very strong — if not staggering. They…
🗣 Giving Ukraine Tomahawks would close the door on peace - observer

👉 Tomahawk cruise missiles in Ukraine “would be a serious escalation on the part of the US and Western countries,” and a step that would “further confirm that the chances of a political settlement of this issue are very slim,” Lebanese international affairs observer Mahmoud Alloush told Sputnik, commenting on President Putin’s warnings about a “powerful” Russian response to the missiles’ potential deployment.

🇷🇺 President Trump likely “understands that Russia will not yield to military pressure,” and that it is “capable of resisting any Western pressure,” including sanctions, Alloush said.

🔥 The Ukrainian crisis is “not between Russia and Ukraine, but Russia and the West…Any solutions that do not address the underlying causes of the conflict will not lead to significant results. Russia is a superpower with great potential, having withstood the toughest economic blockade. Therefore, any new military or economic steps will not be able to put pressure on Putin,” Alloush emphasized.

🛢 As for Washington’s new US sanctions on Russian oil exporters, the observer stressed that even today, energy sector ties between Russia and Europe remain “significant,” and that therefore, “provoking” Moscow, on the eve of winter “at this time is both wrong and unwise.”

🔥 Europe is heading for economic disaster — Russian special envoy

Kirill Dmitriev warns Europe's accumulated policy mistakes are creating a perfect storm:

◼️ Energy crisis: Rejected Russian supplies, now deindustrializing

◼️ Immigration: Politicians afraid to acknowledge failures

◼️ Growth: Russia at 4% vs EU under 1%

"Orban is a voice of reason... Politicians are afraid to acknowledge mistakes. And those mistakes accumulate"


Dmitriev predicts the situation will "evolve in the worst possible way" over next 5-7 years unless Europe changes course.

👀 ‘Hurting Russia’: Dutch PM says quiet part out loud about true purpose of EU’s new asset seizure scheme

💬 “I hope…that we come to an agreement on the technical workout of the reparation loan because financially it’s gonna be important, but also politically it’s important to hurt Russia,” Dick Schoof said at a press conference Friday alongside Britain’s Keir Starmer, NATO chief Mark Rutte and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky.


👉 The so-called “reparation loan” concept proposes taking existing EU-level efforts to skim interest on Russian assets frozen in the bloc’s jurisdiction to the next level, using the assets directly to loan Ukraine up to $163.3B in new support.

The bloc failed to agree on the idea amid fears of the potential consequences, with Belgium demanding “burden sharing and coordination” with EU and G7 leaders.

Russian officials have repeatedly warned that the seizure of Russia’s assets would undermine foreign faith in Europe’s financial system.
