Oh look . . . guess who replied to me within 4 minutes.

Lmfao!

Brent crude is currently trading at $64.39

That means that the price of Urals crude is currently trading between $51 - $49 today, given how it trades at a discount to Brent. - - - It's nowhere near $60, let alone $65.49 as was claimed by an ignorant poster.

It's shocking how terribly IGNORANT some Cal alums can be.
Shocking!





It is adorable how you pretended to ignore me, yet you continuously have the need to call me names and pretend like Ural Crude is stuck at $50. It isn't. It dipped near there briefly. There are times when Brent and Ural are at the same price.

For some reason which I will never comprehend, you seem to be a lightning rod for criticism.


It's pretty simple.
It's a classic case of Dunning-Kruger effect.


I certainly agree that you suffer from a lack of self-awareness and incredible condescension.


Oh wow…

We've got an "I'm rubber, you're glue" on our hands!

THIS is exciting!

For those that aren't aware of Dunning-Kruger effect.
This describes Trump and many of his followers (like the kid that obsessively follows me around here everyday) to a T.

Growing up I made the observation that it was often the case that the people who exuded the most confidence seemed to have the least basis for having any…..and the people that were really good questioned their ability and were driven by fear of failure.

I also observed that it appeared a lot easier and less stressful going through life stupid, never stressing about, or even being aware of, the minefields to your left and right.

Ladies and Gentlemen, submitted for your consideration, one Donald J. Trump.

The U.S. is the world leader in propaganda and memes. Foreign countries can't match American left wing propaganda or American right wing memes.

Why should they trust Zelensky after he (and our Democrats) blew up the earlier White House meeting?

If we made steel on the west coast, possibly powered by nuclear power, we'd cut the pollution from both coal and filthy bunker fuel used to power tankers back and forth to Asia. Same for cardboard, why not use our own recycled product here? Think local.

Trump is learning International Affairs on the fly like a freshman.

Donald Trump has warned that if Vladimir Putin attempts to conquer all of Ukraine, it will lead to the "downfall" of Russia, while also criticising Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a Sunday night post on Truth Social.

"I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!" Trump wrote in a social media post, adding, "I've always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that's proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!"

Earlier on Sunday the US president told reporters that was he was "very surprised" that his Russian counterpart had intensified the bombardment of Ukrainian cities despite the US president's efforts to broker a ceasefire.


Pressed by a reporter to say if he was now seriously considering "putting more sanctions on Russia", Trump replied: "Absolutely. He's killing a lot of people. What the hell happened to him?"

FOOL

Didn't Trump originally say he would end the war before he even took office?
Then it was "the first day in office", right?
Then he needed sixty days.
Then, within his first 100 days.

Gosh, it's still going on. I haven't seen anybody post, "Promises made. Promises kept." lately.

Maybe he should sign another Executive Order; that might do it!

The accusation here is whether the Russians have been targeting civilians, they have not. This war has been an absolute bloodbath, but the proportion of civilians killed has been remarkably low, around 1% to 2%, a remarkably low percentage, arguably the lowest in a large conflict in modern warfare.

Contrast with the Israeli war on Gaza, where well over 90% of people killed have been civilians.

Putin should reply to the last line of that message with a Beatrix Kiddo reference:

"I'll be waiting."

False. Zelensky met with key Democrats right before meeting with POTUS, and they urged him to dig in and rebuff the President. His own handlers put their heads in their hands real time, shaking their heads in disgust.

Democrats, the MIC, lobbyists, the EU and NATO all want this war - at any cost. It's sick and dangerous. Ukraine is permanently wrecked and have over 1 Million KIA and 200K amputees. It's a historically lopsided victory for Russia.
