We are going to recap the first week of October. Because holy hell what a week. This week alone saw a great deal of crazy. From everyone knowing that Russia attacked their own multi billion dollar producing pipelines. As if! Also, the damage to one of them wasn’t as bad as originally thought and can be certified should Germany choose to do so. The bridge outside of Crimea was attacked with a fertilizer bomb just like Oklahoma City Bombing. What other horror happened? OPEC+ is cutting their production down dramatically. Below will be links as usual. Let’s go!
NORD STREAM 2
Here’s a good place to start. Thursday Russia informed Germany that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline wasn’t damaged as originally thought and it is usable. Germany has got to certify it and pay for the lng up front and in Rubles. Less than 72 hours later the following happened. announcement.
CRIMEA BRIDGE ATTACKED
Yeah! Apparently it was a truck with a fertilizer bomb much like Oklahoma City Bombing back in the 1990s. That’s what it reminded me of. Just didn’t have the bang because less then 48 hours ago the Crimea Bridge was operating once again. Seriously! So the attack on the pipelines was a bust and so was the attack on the bridge. Funny! I don’t know who they are trying to intimidate but that wouldn’t intimidate our cat. After this there was supposedly an attack on a German rail service. Couple of lines were cut. This was less than 48 hours after the pipeline
OPEC+ REDUCES OUTPUT
This is huge y’all. It means our supplies will dwindle. However, they are entering into a petro products swap with Russia. Keep in mind that Russia is part of the plus part into OPEC. Overnight US Lawmakers have sworn revenge for this slight. Calling the cut of two million barrels a “hostile act”. It was called a recession prevention act. The OPEC members have said they are concerned about the on coming recession. I have said this before and I’ll keep saying, their product, their business. Amazon has no right to tell Wal Mart how to run their company and vice versa.
GOING FORWARD
Here’s what I expect to see. PETTINESS! Mainly from America and NATO/EU. Their cheap lang is gone. America called the lines going down an “opportunity”. German officials have slammed this attitude. Calling the profiteering distasteful. Now will Germany continue to provide Ukraine with arms. I don’t know. There is one official who made it clear Germany will support Ukraine whether Germany citizens like it or not. Now how will they feel? Better yet, wait till they are eyeball deep into Winter to see if they are still going to support Ukraine at their cost. Cost of everything they need is in abundance but financially out of reach. I only hope more of the European citizens start stepping up and make it clear they don’t support this insanity. What will the consequences be for the attack on the Crimean bridge? That will come in time. I don’t think it’s going to be much longer either.
