(Bloomberg) -- Of all the wild, unprecedented swings in financial markets since the coronavirus pandemic broke out, none has been more jaw-dropping than Monday’s collapse in a key segment of U.S. oil trading. The price on the futures contract for West Texas crude that is due to expire Tuesday fell into negative territory -- minus $37.63 a barrel. That’s right, sellers were actually paying buyers to take the stuff off their hands. The reason: with the pandemic bringing the economy to a standstill, there is so much unused oil sloshing around that American energy companies have run out of room to store it. And if there’s no place to put the oil, no one wants a crude contract that is about to come due. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-drops-18-low-global-222817793.html
Yep, typical propaganda from someone who has never been to Russia. This board is full of Russian experts who have never been to Russia, know nothing about Russia or don't even know anyone from Russia.
Russians and their regional neighbors are quite familiar with Russia's disinformation campaigns. I wonder how much you really know about Russia.
Yup....I'm assuming you're an "expert"? A supposed Texan who claims to know the exact locations of all the exotic car dealerships in the Moscow area?
Your Prime Minister knows what's up: Unlike U.S., Canada plans coordinated attack on foreign election interference Ahead of the October election, Canada finds itself on the front lines of the war on disinformation and hacking. By ALEXANDER PANETTA and MARK SCOTT 09/04/2019 05:01 AM EDT Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election rattled America’s next-door neighbor so badly that Canada spent the last three years developing the most detailed plan anywhere in the Western world to combat foreign meddling in its upcoming election. ... https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/04/canada-foreign-election-meddling-1698209
Well why don't you just start asking a few questions and I'll see if I can answer them. After all, you're an expert on Russia so you know what to ask. Let's test your Russian knowledge....what statute faces Bolshoi Theater?
What would that prove? There is no relationship between statues and Russia's operations to interfere in western societies and politics.
Well, if you say so. I don't claim to be an expert on Russia anyway. But I do know that they have been meddling in our society and politics.
You don't know any of the most basic things about Russia but you are an expert on the tradecraft of election meddling by Russia.... whatever . You should apply for a job with the corrupt FBI and CIA.
My Prime Minister ! Oh come on Vader - ride another Horse - & YOU and I know that the Leaders of Canada & the USA are elected by the people, sheeple, brain washed Zombies. (or whatever else you want to call them) who vote for them The Canknucklese are nice enough but the Obsequious Squeak they have for a Prime Minister simply makes them Auxiliaries to the Empire - & besides YOU ............................................................. know that I am "A Stranger In This Strange Land" That old shtick 'Russia elects OUR leaders' Crap does NOT fly very high anymore. In Fact - I'll be surprised if YOU can get it off the ground. - People are going to laugh .................. at YOU if YOU try and use that now in decent company - It's been DEBUNKED ! .................................................................................... over & over & over & over again & again ad nauseam Now if YOU really want .............................................................. to it get off the ground YOU would do better to ask YOUR new buddy Zoom_copter666 ............................................................ for a Helicopter Ride - He's a flying Cow - Did Ja Know ! ..................................................................................................................................................................... gets his Blacks & Whites mixed ...............................................................................................................................................................................
I know you would rather call the vast majority of people 'sheeple' and 'brain washed Zombies' than accept realities that you don't like personally. You're also misrepresenting the reality, which I suspect you do even at a pathological level (i.e. to yourself) when you speak of Russia "electing our leaders." We both know that is not quite the issue here. The issue is Russia flooding our news media and social media with disinformation in order to influence how our people think, both to try and get what they want and to cause all manner of infighting and disruption to our respective societies and political systems. Russia has been setting and spreading fires in our grass roots in order to sap the strength and resolve of our nations. They have been working like demons, playing the long game, to destroy us from within. Tragically, it is working. Look at how crazy the right has become, at how they embrace such a vile and absurd "leader" as Trump today, how they embraced birtherism and other conspiracy theories during the Obama years, vicious lies about the Clintons and now about the Bidens, and so on, and on and on! What they do is terribly effective, too, or they wouldn't invest in it. Every person they turn becomes another autonomous weapon against their own country (and against NATO and the EU, and everything else that represents a threat or inconvenience to Putin's regime), and like zombies, each one goes on to infect others and create more zombies. So, if you want to talk about zombies, first realize and accept that it is you who are a zombie, infected with a terrible mental virus of conspiratorial paranoia that you constantly attempt to spread to others with posts such as this one I'm quoting!
The war on real news is certainly a part of their operation. It's disturbing that they have an ally in the so-called president of the united states.
It proves **** all....it's probably one of those "pre-canned" questions. He probably googled it himself earlier and tried to use that line. It's along the same lines as what's in a can of SPAM? It's BS.....
Ehm ... in the moment it looks more like a backfire that hits the US much more heavy as Russia, eh? In football (soccer) this is called to be an own goal https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-20/the-oil-price-crash-in-one-word-inelasticity But I know ... all the guilt of China, Russia, Iran ... maybe the WHO and all those who don't believe the fake news of Donald Trump, right?
Even I know it's karl marx. It's across the park & the street. Not sure, but wasn't he the sixth Marx brother? The unfunny one?
You'd think the comrades would know more about their god & the mother country. However, on any given day they're also internet lawyers.
