  India is still going to buy it all, even if it's "normal" price because others will charge more due to increased demand.
  India gains nothing long term, but if they'd take the short term lose we'd all be better off in the long run
context: "Comes into force on Feb. 1, 2023". That's... optimistic planning horizon. Accidents happen. >
  
  That's some low energy trolling.  Of course Elon Musk licked it up enthusiastically >
  
  That's president in waiting Musk to the likes of you! >
  
  He would need a coup for that as he is not Anerican born >
  
  Maybe read what I was replying to? It was literally about a coup/break away states lol. >
  
  None of the countries that imposed the cap buy Russian oil though. Wait why am I expecting anything Russia does to make any sense >
  
  On paper they don't but there are a huge number of off shore ship to ship transfers of oil happening these days which allow circumventing of the rules. >
  
  Oil laundering >
  
  I feel for the poor sod who has to file off the oil molecules' serial numbers. >
  
  You joke, but oil has a distinct molecular fingerprint that’s hard to obfuscate. >
  
  Distinct in what context? Is it which oil field it was drawn from? If my GCSE chemistry is correct: crude oil is just a bunch of different hydrocarbon chains. I suppose there may be other molecules kicking around. Is it just the composition of theses molecules in the crude that demark it. >
  
  Correct. Trace elements. I’m less certain about refined products since at that point you’re essentially doing purification. >
  
  Only countries that have the ruling rings can buy their oil >
  
  "...neither living nor dead..." >
  
  So nice of them... thats gonna make sure the money i spend on gas wont end up in russain hand, thanks putin! >
  
  The desperation is delicious. >
  
  Seems like Russia should be worried about having to cap wells that will be too expensive to restart. >
  
  Indeed a bad time to have to reduce production during winter, where the damages will be maximized. >
  
  I ban selling oil... to countries that aren't buying! >
  
  I do you one better! I ban women from my life! >
  
  My man has got 6 months tops >
  
  Don't forget to read Putin's new book: "The Art of Self-Sanctioning" >
  
  Banning all the countries that don't want to buy from you anyway >
  
  He is selling under cap just becouse he doesn't want it to look like he is complying....4d chees. >
  
  Yeah, that'll save your economy, banning potential customers. >
  
  Thanks for making that cap $0 Vlad. >
  
  Tuesday it is..... >
  
  Welp guys he got us, Putin playing that 4Dfchess by sanctioning Russia himself... 🤣🤣🤣
  What's next on the list, Russia blowing us it's own airbases lmao >
  
  They are already the number one donor of weaponry to Ukraine. Which is being used to fight the Russians in this war...
