In the end, without Russia the world cannot function.
Let us remain calm.
The Russians are Orthodox Christians like us Greeks, they are the strongest nuclear power in the world, they have the largest land area in the world, they possess the most nuclear weapons and they possess incredibly cheap oil and natural gas in enormous quantities, and now they are on the right side of history.
Especially oil is at the center because of the foolish war of the United States and Israel against Iran.
The Strait of Hormuz closed, sending oil prices to 103 dollars per barrel. No economy in the world that does not possess oil can withstand such prices.
Therefore oil truly is black gold, literally.
We write all this because Trump, the American President, found an excuse to lift sanctions on Russian oil but stressed that he will reinstate the sanctions. Obviously this is an absurd spectacle since the lifting, even temporarily, opens the path to their complete abolition.
Russia has won everywhere, it is remarkable, exceptional and unique.
Trump: I lift sanctions but I will restore them
The President of the United States, Trump, announced that he will reinstate sanctions against Russia related to oil. He clarified that he will do so only when energy prices stabilize, which had increased due to the American attacks on Iran.
“Once the crisis ends, the sanctions will return,” stressed President Trump.
According to the American President, the easing of sanctions is connected with the fact that he wants affordable oil for the world.
The United States will purchase Russian oil until 11 April 2026
The United States has approved the purchase of Russian crude oil and derivatives loaded onto ships starting from 12 March.
The license, issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department, allows only the transactions and activities explicitly mentioned in the document.
Any other actions are prohibited, including those related to Iran, its government, or goods and services from that country. As stated in the general license, transactions with Russian ships are permitted “until 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on 11 April 2026.”
They want supply and increased reserves
According to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, the U.S. government decided to ease sanctions on Russian oil in order to expand supply and increase the global reach of existing reserves.
To increase the global reach of existing supplies, the U.S. Treasury Department is providing a temporary exemption that allows countries to purchase Russian oil that is currently stranded at sea.
The United States emphasized that all this is only a short term measure and will not bring Russia significant economic benefits.
Sanctions will return
The senator from Kansas, Roger Marshall, stated in turn that the United States could reinstate sanctions against Russia just as quickly as it lifted them.
He noted that the global energy situation, amid the war with Iran, is “very sensitive.”
