Oil, War, and Western Amnesia: How the Kremlin Buys Time to Reload

, , , ,

Russia’s wars run on oil. Not metaphorically— literally. Every tank shell, every drone, every missile barrage is funded by the price per barrel. And every ceasefire or “peace negotiation” is not a step toward peace, but a strategic pause for rearmament, perfectly timed with a drop in oil revenue. Let’s rewind to 2014. Russia invaded Crimea in February. Brent crude was at $110 a barrel.

OPEC+ has agreed to raise oil output by 411,000 barrels per day in June, continuing a strategy shift aimed at disciplining quota violators and responding to global calls for lower fuel prices. The decision mirrors a similar production hike for May and signals the bloc’s growing willingness to tolerate lower oil prices, even at the expense of short-term revenues.

Genocide is the core of Russian culture – Ukraine has only one chance

For Ukrainians, there is this one choice, one chance. To stop fighting now would not mean peace— it would mean silence, subjugation, and the slow suffocation of an entire nation under the weight of Russian imperialism.

This is how Russia wages war. More disturbingly, this is Russian culture.
