Show some respect to Putin. man is breaking economic boundaries despite all the sanctions from EU/nato.

Your ignorance has been noted, with all due respect

Russian millionaires is not Russia, and American millionaires is not America

Russian millionaires wealth is tied to oil price while American millionaires wealth is tied to stockmarket

Wealth of Nations is measured by GDP and Russia got poorer by 2.1% while America got richer by 2.1%. Those are the facts, not the headline this clown OP put out

Next time make sure you know what you are talking about before you quote me.

HornyTave1:
according to Economics law by Ibime 😂, Russia should taking this move because they are poor and not any country in the West, cause the West are very rich.


Money na figure and paper, what it can buy is the real worth.

There is something called Purchasing Power Parity that measures the purchasing power of the average citizen in each Nation. Feel free to look it up and compare nations

For most globalised trade items, prices are the same. If you want to buy 1 tonne of cashew from Mozambique and I want to buy the same, we will pay the same wholesale price. Where our retail price will vary is mostly found in the cost of labour for distribution and sales.

I make it Nigerians buy Indomie for N100 and British buy it for like N250. You will be very happy to pay 2.5 times the price if you earn 100 times the income. The truck driver that delivers the Indomie also earns 50 to 100 times the income of a Nigerian driver, that's why I paid more for the Indomie. You don't see people in Switzerland complaining about paying the highest prices for goods in the world. Thats because they still maintain better purchasing power with their income.

These Indomie are made in Ukraine and hit our shelves at 24 pence (N200). 1 hour of minimum wage will buy 50 of these. A Nigerian minimum wage of N30k worked over 168 hours affords less than two Indomie.

Alamkir:
Which other half? What are u talking about?

I believe you have access to Google like I do

300b.of 600b was seized, half remain

What does West have to do with Sudan?

It's even Wagner Group arming the rebels. Multipolar world indeed.

The West did most to oppose the jãnjaweed (now RSF) that are causing the chaos while Bashir supported them till they came back to bite him. Even the rebel held goldmines are controlled by Wagner group.

Appleyard:
Truly, you ain't worth the debate. Once a kid, always a kid. You are so emotional.

You dodged the fact that you were caught lying about Russia selling it's entire oil at $49, but price of Russian ESPO shipment to Asia proved you wrong.

You lied by passing Urals as the benchmark of Russian oil export, which is not. ESPO oil proved you wrong.

No one was arguing about whether or not there were down turns in revenue this year compared to 2022. Heck, even Saudi-Arabia experienced downturns in revenue due to market fluctuations.

But the goddamn Russkies were still making profits from their oil sales in the face of western economic sanction wars.

Even the price of Urals rallied above the price cap in April this year, and you're still talking about March?

Here is an excerpts from Reuters this month:

"Russia is enjoying stronger revenues vIa sale of oil despite western sanctions and price cap.

Russian Urals oil cargoes that loaded in the first half of April are mostly heading to
India and China who have snapped up the vast majority of Russian oil so far in April at prices above the Western price cap of $60 per barrel, according to traders and Reuters calculations.

That means the Kremlin is enjoying stronger revenues despite the West’s attempts to curb funds for Russia’s military operations in Ukraine.

The advocates of the cap have said it reduces revenues for Russia while allowing oil to flow, but its opponents argued it is too soft to force Russia to backtrack on its activities in Ukraine.

The latest data from Refinitiv Eikon suggested that Russian Urals oil cargoes that loaded in the first half of April are mostly heading to India’s and China’s ports.

India accounted for more than 70 percent of the seaborne supplies of the grade so far this month and China for about 20 percent, Reuters calculations showed.


Meanwhile, lower freight rates and smaller discounts for Urals against global benchmarks nudged the daily price of the grade back above the cap earlier in April from a period of trading below.

India and China have not agreed to abide by the price cap, but the West had hoped the threat of sanctions might deter traders from helping those countries buy oil above the cap.

Average discounts for Urals were at $13 per barrel to dated Brent on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis in Indian ports and $9 to ICE Brent in Chinese ports, according to traders, while shipping costs were $10.5 a barrel and $14 a barrel respectively for loadings from Baltic ports to India and China.

That means the Urals price on a free on board (FOB) basis in Baltic ports, allowing about $2 per barrel of additional transport costs, has been slightly above $60 per barrel so far in April, Reuters calculations show.

The population of these two countries alone is more than the whole of foolish Europe put together, so the more oil Russia is shipping that way, the more revenue it makes. While the damn Europeans rebuys same oil at a price more than Russia sells to them. Who is the fool here?

These are facts, emotions don't count.

You are just arguing with yourself at this point. I know the price of Urals in April. I even showed it to you. It is not hidden data. Urals is the benchmark of Russian oil dumbo, ESPO is only 10-12% of its output on any given day.

Writerng brought some foolish propaganda about March sales as below. You opened your foolish mouth to praise the result. I asked you what you are shouting about when those barrells were sold for $49. Now you are telling me about April result which I know. Did we talk about March or April? In April, OPEC reduced production, bringing up both Brent and Urals, but Ural still maintains its discount.

Now look at the two infographics I provided below and tell me who is foolish. In March, when Brent was selling for $60-$70, Urals was selling for $49. In April when Brent is selling for $80, Urals is selling for $60. Whether you like it or not, the price cap will have a discount effect because India and China can call shots because Russia will have nowhere to turn. That doesn't mean if Brent goes to $200, that Urals won't sell at $180. Like I told you, there will always be a ~$20 discount between them.

I told you March sold for $49 and it did, you are telling me about April, trying plenty foolish words, when I already showed you the April price. I showed you the 40% decline in oil & gas revenues YoY to buttress this point and the budget deficit, and you are yarning about April and ESPO. Stephen do better.

⚡️🇷🇺 Russian oil exports back to pre-Special Operation levels despite West's crippling sanctions.

Crude oil and oil products exports were at highest level in March since April 2020, increasing by 600,000 barrels a day - International Energy Agency (IEA).

Moscow's revenue from oil exports last month stood at $12.7 billion.

Appleyard:
Sanctions in deed. It's Europe that is suffering.

People are shocked at working 150hrs per week…. I had 3hrs sleep per day for about two years…Doing two jobs to pay fees……That shiit is crazy.

Part of the sacrifice of japa

TalabiAudu:
But are these people blind??

Gallagher would be playing like a 12 years old virgin boy in the midst of adults

And yet these managers keep using him, I just don't understand

Go and take your UEFA coaching course so you can see what managers see

FBS:
Na which kind cluelessness you dey display like this huh?
If you couldn't deduce what I meant by "your type of players" then oga abeg, free my side for now. Please, biko.

A "type" must be characterized by similarities right? So what do you mean by type

Ballzproblem2:
can't even win wolves 🤧

Tuchel failed to win Wolves in his first game and won UCL

Keep hope alive 🤞

Kilishihunter:
Winks no dey ball anything senior man, Watched him against Roma last week and he was still ineffective, Luckily for him he will go back to Tottenham if or when sampdoria gets relegated

You watched him last week no mean say you know more than those watching him each week

FBS:
lol
But you should know his type of players nah - Winks, Gallagher and that former ManCity player- wetin be him name sef?
According to elder ib.ims, those guys can do no wrong even if they score own goal.

You are just showing your ignorance in 3D

Winks and Gallagher are two totally different type of players. And who said Winks is my type?

Winks may be a leprous fingers type - very good technique with physical weakness

ToyinDipo:
Would check it out. However I find reading difficult in these days of ebooks. I'm much accustomed to paper books.

I stopped reading books years ago. I just listen to audiobooks and fit them around my day

larride:
I even heard you have to understand and speak French well as a lawmaker in Quebec. (I’m not entirely sure of the veracity of the claim).

French is the official language of Quebec, so of course

A001:
Chimanmada Adichie is another writer I hope can win the Nobel prize in the near future for her works. But she needs to do much more better.

Chimamanda will never top Half of a Yellow Sun

If Khaled Hosseini, Paolo Coelho and co never smell Nobel, who dash Chimamanda

Nobel Prize is just whatever narrative they pick. Bob Dylan of all people won it into 2016 for songwriting

basilico:
Ibime does not miss the point, The guy donated to Democrats massively therefore can do no wrong according to Ibime.

We don't operate on the same frequency in our understanding of the world, so I can't bring myself to how you think. Investigators will surely do their job on the matter, not bozos like you with zero understanding that scream conspiracy childishly.

The fall of FTX led to Republicans losing their third biggest sponsor Ryan Salame of FTX. If I was as stupid as you, I would quickly be whipped up into a frenzy that Salame is being protected. . . the difference is, I have financial education

benalvino3:
You keep missing the point. They did it without consent.

mixing customer funds with counterparties and trading them without explicit consent, according to U.S. securities law, is illegal. It also violates FTX's terms of service.

They stole people's money and traded with it.

There is no requirement to keep 100% of customers funds in liquid form on hand anywhere in any statute books. If this was the case, several of the exchanges who have paused withdrawals this week (Gemeni, Genesis etc) will not need to pause it, and banks won't pause withdrawals if there is a run on the bank

There are capitalisation requirements that are usually percentage based, and Crypto companies quickly fall foul of this when crypto prices move.

benalvino3:
They are not a bank which we all know how they operate.

the Keyword here is consent.

It is a financial institution and is allowed to trade with deposits, it just needs to keep sufficient liquid capital on hand for withdrawals

Undercapitalisation is not a crime, and they could argue they were sufficiently capitalised albeit with illiquid FTT tokens which eroded their balance sheet as it's price fell. Moreso they are not a bank and not covered by capitalisation tresholds, and operate from Bahamas jurisdiction which has different sets of laws

Like I said, everything you mentioned is negligent but not enough to put this guy away for any reasonable time. What investigators will be hoping to find is:

A. Did he misrepresent asset values at any point to hide losses

B. Did he transfer assets to himself or cronies when FTX was going down

This is what they need to get true justice for creditors and depositors, not whether his girlfriend is CEO of this or that, whether he has a board, or whether he capitalised his company with his own token - there is no codified law to penalise him for valuing his Net Assets using the market price of FTT which could easily fall, just like Access Bank can value themselves in Naira which could easily fall.

Lehmann bros was undercapitalised to pay off their liabilities in 2008 and they collapsed. No single person from Lehmann bros went to Jail. Incompetence is not a jailable crime. A or B I highlighted above are crimes.

benalvino3:
It is established, you are not informed. He uses the Customer deposits and trades without their consent... he even loaned out their money.
Customer Deposit, he sends the money to alameda for trading without their consent in Violation of FTX own guidelines.

The Guy is a con artist who uses Media and charity to build credibility as well as Buying colluding with Politicians.

Caroline his appointed CEO Alameda research has no experience or pedigree to hold such an important role in the company.
the company has no accountant
no board of directors
they don't even have any money management system.

He Founded FTE manufactures the FTT token.

All the above is true, do you think your bank does not trade with your deposits or loan them out?

Wait, let the authorities gather evidence against him that will stick properly, none of the above is going to put him away. They need to find illegality that will put him away for a long time, not poor ethics, poor leadership or poor capitalisation/money management.

Against whom do you open wide your mouth

BikeMan:
Even Thiago Silva?

Who remember Thiago Silva debut?

Singapore1:
it's my first time watching guehi play, but omo that was sh!t !!!

Season just start. Relax. That Saka shot na one of those things

BlueAngel444:
Guehi is clearly having an off night but imagine if he plays like that for just a match in a Chelsea shirt. Now, this is the difference; at Palace, it will be easily forgotten, at Chelsea, it could force him to the bench for next game and damage his confidence. vince

Nonsense. How many times Rudiger, Alonso, Chris, Luiz, Thiago done fückup. Guehi > any Chelsea CB not named Koulibaly

Havertz10:
There is empirical evidence that teams with fever British players are more successful than teams with more

You love capping nonsense

In Laliga, Barca and Madrid will always have less Spanish boys than Espanyol and co. Madrid only has 1 Spanish player in their first 11 as things stand

And that's because the rich leagues are International marketplaces where the best in the world go to the top teams

England performance over the last 5 years in International footie down to underage level where they win everything shows you are just spewing nonsense

WhoDeyHause:
Kounde is short but can jump very well. He outjumped soucek of westham in ulokpa. He is also aggressive and good with the ball. But with holy boehly we don't know whether ffp that apari and psg are passing will make him keep an eye on other player.

Jumping no mean anything. Even Kante can jump well. A short man needs space to jump with a tall man. In close quarters, all a tall man needs to do is pin down the shoulders of a short man to prevent him jumping
