Extreme discount?

A Price Cap or Smoke and Mirrors? How Much Does Russian Oil Actually Cost?

A quick check suggests the discount is about $14 a barrel relative to Brent crude at the moment, which is a lot by historical standards. Russian oil is of relatively low quality, but the usual spread relative to Brent is a few bucks a barrel. It's fair to call it 'huge' or 'extreme' in context.

What is this naval war of which you speak?

China is building ships like mad. They want Taiwan back, but the Seventh Fleet is in the way. Put enough ships in play, and the US Navy has little choice but to capitulate rather than fight. It's that or end up in Davy Jones's locker, which isn't much of a choice.

I would argue that "I don't kill or imprison you" was the only substantive concession Prigozhin was likely to get, after packing it in that early.

Give him 6 months in Belarus until we see his death reported on the news.

Cant get over this bizarre and strange day.
Now Lukashenko, a man hovering between life and death, apparently brokered a peace deal.

He had best hope that either he finds a deeper hole than Trotsky could find in Mexico, or that Putin dies or is removed in the interim.
