  Tuesday it is.....
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.
