The energy war is fully opened, Russia has retired, and Putin also has a trick at a critical moment

The energy war in Western countries and Russia completely kicked off.
Recently, the G7 conference officially approved the price limit measures for Russian oil prices, followed by the EU Chairman Feng Delin, and senior German officials were also strongly promoting the EU's price limit for Russia's natural gas.
Behind this series of policies, it has actually been completely exposed. Western countries are using their buyer's market to monopoly and in -depth control over the global navigation industry to suppress Russia's energy exports and force Russia to sell at low prices.
Such an improper market competition is not too unexpected. However, considering that Western countries have already greatly reduced energy imports from Russia, now this is forcing Russia to reduce prices without going to buy it. What is the meaning of it? In fact, the answer is not complicated.
Looking directly, Western countries are to cut off Russia's energy finance. In the past few months, Western sanctions on Russia's energy exports have always attached great importance to it. Even the EU countries that have cooperated with Russia in the past for a long time are also painful to cut meat, under tremendous inflation pressure, and do not want to make Russia make money. However, Western countries overestimate their market position and underestimate Russia's economic toughness and external relations. After the reorganization of global crude oil supply chain, developing countries led by China and India have continued to increase the import of crude oil from Russia. To a large extent, it has made up for the shortage of energy vacancies in Western countries, and thanks to the price and energy prices caused by war and supply chain disorders. Russia's energy income this year is very considerable.
In contrast, one side is miserable, and on the other hand, it is booming. If Western countries want to make Russia difficult, there are only two ways. First, offend a large wave of developing countries, with sanctions as a threat, ordered it to not be allowed to import Russian crude oil, so that Russia's crude oil cannot be sold. Second, forcibly oppress Russia to reduce oil prices, so that Russia's export price is much lower than that of international market prices, so that even if Russia exports a lot, it will not make money. On the surface, these two methods can achieve their goals, but it is destined to be difficult to implement.
The root cause is that Western countries do not dare to rush the world, and directly offend develop countries such as China and India, and cannot compromise Russia. Based on this background, Western countries have only come out of this strategy and use the dominant position on international navigation to sanction global tanker transporters. Stopping the dilemma of the port. This kind of bullying and fearful means is also shameless.
Under such a bullying situation in Western countries, Russia has actually been forced into the road, and retreat. But this does not mean that there is no corresponding counterattack method in Russia Putin. Judging from the current Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and the vice chairman of the Russian National Security Council, Russia's method is also simple and rude. Whoever wants to follow the West To buy Russia's energy limited prices, Russia will not sell at all. In short, I would rather burn it, and I didn't want to sell my own resources. And Russia's approach has also been worried about many Western media, because if Russia refuses to sell cheap and even large -scale confession, the energy shortage of the world will further intensify, which will cause Western countries to face greater energy sources Inflation, in the western countries, stealing chickens will not erode rice.
Of course, there are still many variables in the situation. Although the attitude of Western countries and Russia is very resolute, in the face of practical interests, there must be a certain compromise in all parties. After all, the current global energy market belongs to the seller market. It may be too hard, and Russia's finance is indeed missing money, and it is impossible to easily abandon energy trade. Therefore, this energy war will inevitably have a lot of interest. However, in the final analysis, Russia cannot sell it, at most it is the shortcomings, and now it may be more valuable in the future; and Western countries have no energy, that is, facing many problems such as winter difficulties and industrial stagnation. It's clear at a glance.
