Putin seeks emergency petrol as Russia runs on fumes

Russia has reportedly asked Kazakhstan to supply it with petrol as Ukrainian attacks on its refineries force it to import gasoline.

Kazakhstan has been asked to set up a reserve of 100,000 tonnes of gasoline, equivalent to 845,000 barrels, to supply Russia should shortages arise, Reuters reported.

I should apologize. I am home, a day off and I can't help but notice my beliefs, which are based on facts, are winning out on these threads. Therefore, I am having a lot of fun posting.

How Reagan and Thatcher would have defeated Putin in Ukraine

by Robert Pittenger and Oleg Dunda | 05/03/24, 7:30 AM ET

her-would-have-defeated-putin-in-ukraine/

Sadly, many Ukraine-supporting democracies have not done enough to wean themselves from Russian energy. For instance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India acknowledged that the Ukraine conflict is “causing great pain in the region.” What he didn’t say is that India received more than one-third of its oil imports from Russia in 2023, after buying no Russian oil before the war.

No free nation would have purchased iron ore or ball bearings from Hitler during World War II. Tougher sanctions requiring democratic nations to turn off the spigot of Russian energy are the first step to breaking the Putin regime economically and ending the war.

The second step of economic-driven victory over Putin’s Russia is boosting military spending. Thatcher increased the UK’s defense budget by 15 percent between 1982 and 1985. Reagan’s budgets proposed increases in military spending of 7 percent per year between 1981 and 1985. These decisions pressured the USSR to spend on its own defense at an unsustainable rate, and siphoned resources from the rest of the Soviet economy. Likewise, high levels of defense spending will pressure Russia to keep up in ways it cannot afford.

The United States, by contrast, has a nominal GDP of $20.89 trillion—roughly 14 times the size of Russia’s economy. And nominal GDP per capita is $63,413. Even three U.S. states have larger GDPs than Russia: California ($3.1 trillion), Texas ($1.78 trillion) and New York ($1.7 trillion). Note that California has more than twice the GDP of Russia.

I live in one of those states, Texas, where the GDP is mostly squandered on doodads and thingamajigs, the foolishness and stuff that Russia can scoff at as irrelevant to winning a war. In stark contrast, Russia is spending its much smaller GDP for stuff to carve Ukraine into little pieces. Russia won't stop until some larger economy re-orientates its industry to give Ukraine much more stuff to carve Russia into little pieces. Russia is methodically destroying Ukraine's power plants but Ukraine cannot destroy Russia's because no country with a large GDP is providing the hardware similar to Russia's to do to them what they are doing to Ukraine.

After WW2 America rebuilt all of Europe. I'm sure we can help rebuild Ukraine.

The cost for the US, assuming the EU doesn’t help, to rebuild Ukraine is around four times higher than the US contribution to rebuild Europe after WWII:

The United States transferred $13.3 billion (equivalent to $173 billion in 2023) in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II.

The postwar reconstruction of Ukraine will cost about 500-600 billion euros ($525 billion-$630 billion), World Bank Vice President Anna Bjerde said. The cost goes up $billions every week the war continues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan
https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-war-reconstruction-500-billion/3216128
2.html

The Marshall Plan's accounting reflects that aid accounted for about 3% of the combined national income of the recipient countries between 1948 and 1951, which means an increase in GDP growth of less than half a percent.

Russia's Central Bank suspends trading in dollars and euros after US issues new bank sanctions

Long lines formed outside exchange kiosks in Moscow as the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) suspended trading in dollars and euros as a result of new US sanctions targeting banks facilitating sanctions-busting trade with Russia on June 12.

The CBR unexpectedly changed the start time for the start of trading on the foreign exchange market on June 13, pushing back trading to 9.50 am, instead of the usual 6.50am.
