The Oil Rebellion. Four Years of Sanctions Have Turned Russia into an Invulnerable Smuggler and the West into a Helpless Observer.
Four years of trying to suffocate the Russian economy. Four years of sanctions packages churned out by Brussels and Washington with obsessive persistence. The result? Russian oil exports haven't just survived—they've grown by 6% above pre-war levels. Western politicians are furious: their vaunted "price cap" has proven to be a leaky bucket, and Russia's "shadow fleet" has become the planet's primary trading fleet. Welcome to reality, where sanctions only work in the imagination of their authors.
