We a year ago I wrote about what inevitably will come the moment when Russia will block its main sources of foreign exchange earnings and then will come the hour of truth.
Such confidence was due to the nature of the country's leader. Huge country agreed that they will rule the yard punks and street kids. When money came, people took it is manna from heaven for scraps from the master's table. Moreover, pathological eaters cleanings and scraps and boasted of his unique position. Being deindustrialization, commodity by country, Russia was in a number of such raw powers as Emirates, Arabia and Libya. But there greed has reasonable limits, but because in any of these countries, people receive a much bigger piece of the pie, than in Russia, Venezuela or Iraq. But Russians are a people of unpretentious, and put up with the situation, which in the UAE would be considered shameful for employees from India.
So it was, until the punks didn't want to be a "noble pillar," and wanted to be a "vladychetsey the sea". The West is not once or twice hinted at Putin, saying, not by rank take, man! However, he launched into an anti-Western rhetoric. Tellingly, all this self-assurance that Putin is itchy in some places, and all the saber rattling is fully provided with money that the West has allowed Russia to earn in their markets, buying her oil and gas. Sane seller always behaved very politely with the buyer, especially with big. Putin decided that the buyer needs to crawl before him and beg for handouts. Psychiatrists have a definition of such behaviour, but we in medicine are not going to sink.
And so, when Putin was a shim globally, warned him one last time, and when he did not understand the price of oil, and then gas went down. If Putin is sane leader, he would give a signal to buyers that was not right and would be filed in resignation, for the prospect of looming catastrophic. New people came to power, piled all the blame on Putin personally and Russia would be the chance. But hooligans are hooligans and Russians began the game of "who blinks first" with the increase in rates. And the right would come up with something original, but after Ukraine they suffered in Syria. And then there was a fatal change in the situation, Putin and Lavrov have run into a personal insult of the Arabs, that is, not only a stupid political battle, but personal insults.
We should mention here that the States of Russia clipped the wings of its own. Shale oil and gas is tightly closed to U.S. suppliers. A huge amount of non-liquid fuel put pressure on the market and he went down. For some time the situation kept China, buying up the excess fuel, but very soon China has filled in under the top, and the economy began braking. This means that the increase in fuel consumption stopped. Fell 2 times, the market stopped because the States have played all his trumps oil, but they remained in the Gulf, and they were in no hurry to play a sharp decrease and then was launched the mechanism of lifting the sanctions against Iran. By itself, this factor is very important, but we will return to it later.
After Putin in Syria got into the game of Qatar, Emirates and Arabia, and especially after Lavrov mate sent Minister of Saudi Arabia, patience is exhausted and that could not make the States now begin to do the Saudis. Ahead of the release on the market of oil and gas of Iran, the Saudis decided to yank on the largest fuel market after the U.S. — Europe. Previously, they did not, because he acted a gentleman's agreement under which the largest share of the sales belonged to the Russian Federation. The Arabs have a huge tanker fleet and carry oil and gas anywhere, and Russia has nothing of this, but she has a pipeline to Europe. The tanker can be deployed, and the pipe is not. The way it worked as long as Putin did not destroy relations with the Arabs. The agreement collapsed, and now every man for himself. And that's a huge tanker with Arab oil began calling at ports of Northern Europe. Today, a tanker of Saudi oil is unloaded in Poland, which goes with the Russian oil and Saudi is only the beginning! Tellingly, the price of tanker of oil was much lower than in the pipeline!
If in the past a fallen price dealt a severe but not mortal blow, now we are talking about squeezing Russia out of Europe. The ugliness of the West, which the Russians curse on a daily basis, suddenly decided to take the curse seriously and to buy oil and gas from someone else!
And the small chest opened simply. When the States went the slate, I had not to laugh at this, and to prepare for the changes, and therefore to reduce the price and ease conditions for consumers with the fact that in case of bad developments, consumers will go to competitors. Moreover, if at the beginning of the era of oil shale, the price was dropped below its cost, the topic died out before it began. N all boils down to the basic features of the punks: the greed and professionalism.
Putin's greed is expressed in a specific figure of its state, which became the largest in the history of mankind. And the incompetence shown by the fact, whom Putin has set to lead key state agencies. Gazprom is managed by people who have no professional and even technical education. Rosneft is managed and novelist. It is therefore not surprising that the Ministry of defense manages people, not serving military service who have not completed a single military school, but has already become a field Marshal. It is a peculiarity of the country, run by the street kids.
The Russian people soon will feel on their skin the price of your servility. The question is not whether it is, the question is when, before the New Year or after. That is why the Russians right now it makes sense to choose a category for themselves and the leadership of the country from the folk wisdom:
The avaricious pays twice.
A fool pays three times.
The sucker pays in life.
This is despite the fact that Russia has some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves, so the country just sitting on a treasure chest.
