 We are also driving up the price of oil, bolstering Russia’s government revenue and allowing them to put more pressure on Ukraine, and forcing Europe to turn attention away from Russia and Ukraine, and stoking global inflation via increased oil prices

 I hate going to war for Iran. But I’m also realizing that by attacking Iran, we cut off medium crude oil that goes to China. Medium crude is used in industrial and military applications. We’re inadvertently delaying China from invading Taiwan.

A lot of countries are already boycotting Russian Oil exports, I think the only nation that’s buying it is India, and they’re forcing the price down because they refuse to pay market rate. Russia’s economy is already in free fall anyway, it’s not going to magically change course because of this.

Well actually, since China and India have been trying to wean off of Russia by buying from the Middle East, they’re gonna be flocking back since the strait of Hormuz has shut down. And Europe has been relying on LNG from Qatar that now can’t come through there either

Also this doesn’t address global inflation due to increased prices

Russia is still not going to survive, it’s a failed state. They’ve burned through all of their financial reserves, their currency is worthless, any money they make is going to prop up anything left standing. They’re only going to live off of purchased time.
