War Criminal

Vladimir Putin’s birthday triggers a well-orchestrated process within the Kremlin to carefully select official gifts. These offerings typically encompass artwork, sculptures, tapestries depicting pivotal moments in Russian history interwoven with Putin’s life, alongside various items such as vases, tablecloths, and models of industrial complexes. Furthermore, members of the Siloviki, a faction encompassing security and law enforcement agencies, presented gifts to the Russian Fuehrer. In the course of composing a thank-you message from Dmitry Medvedev to Vladimir Putin, the former also crafted a speech featuring phrases like “Beloved Vladimir!” Nevertheless, certain text passages deemed inappropriate were omitted, particularly those expressing enduring hatred and resentment towards perceived enemies of Russia. This particular birthday event marks a significant departure from previous ones, as it is widely believed to be Vladimir Putin’s final birthday. His life’s achievements are truly remarkable. From empty nuclear treats to sparking wars and betraying entire nations, he’s a real role model for chaos and treachery. Over the years, he has evolved from a young and charismatic leader, welcomed with open arms in the West, into the most universally reviled individual. His dream of a Russian empire now lies in ruins, resulting in Russia being ostracized as a pariah state. Putin harbors profound animosity towards himself, those in his inner circle, the world, Ukraine, and the transformation he has undergone. It is a stark irony that he commemorates his birthday as a wanted war criminal, for his actions have inflicted immense suffering upon the people of Ukraine, yet he places blame on the entire world while refusing to accept responsibility for his deeds.

Russian Oil Price Cap

The Foreign Policy article, “The Russian Oil Price Cap Can Work Again” by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and Steven Tian, receives a strong endorsement from The Rich TVX News Network. The article explores the collaborative efforts between the U.S. Treasury Department, G-7, and EU member nations in establishing a unique oil price cap in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The primary aim of this cap was to restrict the price of Russian crude oil to a maximum of $60 per barrel, with the overarching goal of maintaining global market stability. However, recent analyses and discussions have raised concerns regarding the ongoing effectiveness of this price cap, leading to proposals for its abandonment. Notably, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Steven Tian, and their team at Yale were instrumental in advising the Treasury Department during the implementation of this price cap. They vehemently oppose the notion of discarding it. Indeed, while it cannot be denied that the cap has experienced diminishing effectiveness over time, the rationale for this phenomenon is readily discernible. The rise in global oil prices has forced Russian President Vladimir Putin to develop creative strategies to evade the restrictions imposed by the price cap. One notable approach includes the formation of a covert “shadow fleet” of tankers, strategically positioned outside the G-7’s regulatory reach. Consequently, Russian oil prices have steadily approached the well-known global benchmarks, such as Brent crude, ultimately surpassing the designated limit of $60 per barrel.
