If you want transport that isn’t affected by an oil crisis, get a battery electric vehicle. It’s that simple.

SEN. KELLY: How many times have Vance and Rubio been to Ukraine? Zero. Has Trump been to Ukraine? No. He invited Putin to United States, but he still failed to send anybody at high level in his government to visit Ukraine. Have Kushner or Witkoff been to Ukraine? They have not.

Cost of the Hormuz crisis in Selected Asian Countries So Far (annualised cost): 1 Thailand: $11b, 2.2% of GDP >$6.5b import bill rise 2 South Korea: $36b, 2% of GDP >$38b import bill rise 3 Japan: $77.4b, 1.8% of GDP >$42b import bill rise 4 Singapore: $8b, 1.6% of GDP >$4.5b import bill rise 5 Philippines: $6.16b, 1.4% of GDP >$4b import bill rise 6 Indonesia: $8.4b, 0.6% of GDP >$4.5b import bill rise 7 Malaysia: $1.76b, 0.4% of GDP >$1.5b import bill rise True sovereignty is impossible in a fossil-fuel-dependent economy. Meanwhile, the price of wind and solar fuel is zero and neither solar nor wind can be blockaded or tariffed: Renewables ARE national security [Methodology integrates 3 variables: >Net Import Reliance: Total share of oil and gas demand met by imports >Proportion of imports passing directly through the Strait of Hormuz vs. alternate routes >Fiscal Subsidy Exposure: Burden placed on national budgets to shield consumers from soaring fuel prices, which creates severe structural distortion even in resource-rich nations such as Malaysia]

After fuel prices in Crimea spiked, fixed prices have been set at fuel stations. However, it doesn't matter what the price is if there's no fuel for sale at stations. Expect what little fuel makes it to Crimea now to only be available on the black market for inflated prices.

😏 Fuel crisis hits St. Petersburg Welcome to 21st-century Russia’s “cultural capital”: at Tatneft gas stations, private drivers are now limited to just 20 liters of gasoline per car. Corporate cards? Unlimited, of course. Another chain already introduced a 50-liter limit. Imagine having to queue up for fuel rations in 2026 like it’s the Soviet Union again… except for the elites.

Crimea. Operator is complaining that the gas station lines are too long and too thick now. Apparently, one line is for people trying to get gas using coupons, and the other is regular line to buy it. ​The occupiers are welcome to fuck off back to russia and get their gas there.
