Russia May Halt Oil Supplies On Ukraine Theft
First it was concerns over whether Ukraine would 'steal' gas supplies bound for Europe as it passed through pipelines in the country and now, as bills remain unpaid, a Transneft unit is threatening to halt Ukraine oil products supply due to pipeline theft.
- *TRANSNEFT COMMENTS ON OIL PRODUCTS PIPELINE IN UKRAINE
- *TRANSNEFT MAY STOP WORK OF PRIKARPATZAPADTRANS PIPELINE SYSTEM
- *TRANSNEFT: $62.7M IN OIL STOLEN FROM UKRAINE PIPE OVER 5 YRS
As Bloomberg reports,
57.9k tons of oil products have been lost from theft in Ukraine and "Transneft expresses hope that the Ukrainian authorities can evaluate the risks of the current situation and not allow a negative scenario to develop."
More boomerangs?

Obama: Senkakus ‘within scope’ of U.S.-Japan treaty
President Barack Obama—for the first time as an incumbent U.S. president—clearly stated the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture are subject to Article 5 of the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, in a written reply to questions submitted by The Yomiuri Shimbun.
“The policy of the United States is clear—the Senkaku Islands are administered by Japan and therefore fall within the scope of Article 5 of the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security. And we oppose any unilateral attempts to undermine Japan’s administration of these islands,” the U.S leader stated ahead of his visit to Japan starting Wednesday.
Article 5 stipulates U.S. defense obligations to Japan, which apply to territories under the administration of Japan. Obama’s comment therefore means the United States will defend Japan in the event of a Chinese incursion on the islets, over which China also claims sovereignty.
China is NOT a happy camper with this statement...
Asshole is going to get us into WW 3 yet the way he is going.
Well he pissed off Russia with the fake Ukrainian revolution... and now China with this disputed islands BS... If I were China, as soon as Obama said this crap, I would have sent the navy to take over the islands.

Looney
$12 Mil a year, that's what maybe 200k barrels tops - hell we probably burn that in 15 minutes.
I think this refers to siphoning off the pipeline.
The amounts that were metered and just not paid for is well beyond this.
For example the Odessa refinery was cut off in January for non payment, which is not the same as theft -- sort of.
I am sure the Russians have known about this for years. They now have the excuse to do something about it with backing from the Vlad.
one difference with oil is that it is easily transported compared to natural gas.
but hang on a minute, isn't it illegal to export oil from the US?
Some guy posted this morning on an oil blog:
Ukraine consumption 320K barrel/day. Less now that Crimea is gone.
Refineries in Odessa (small) and a big one in east central Ukraine. The Odessa refinery has not been paying for oil.
Ukraine has some oil production. 80K bpd. All of it comes from the east part of the country.
The EU and US are INSANE to be trying to hold onto the west part. It has nothing.
Where are the wheat fields? Open question.
I found link and posted it yesterday.
lemme get them:
The short answer is east and south. The west grows nothing but "sugar beets". Corn, Wheat, Barley, everything else is east, central and south.

Arab centric because Ukraine is 4th largest grain exporter in the world and most goes to the Middle East.
Thanks for the info. Most goes to the Mid East eh? I heard Ukraine supplies Europe with - conservatively - 1/5 of their grain. That's a huge bread basket.
Well, if you want some more eyebrow raising, there's another link floating around
says China has agreed to lease XX million hectares of east Ukraine farmland for 50 years. Largest non domestic Chinese farm complex in the world.
50 year seem outlandish to some, but I was offered 50,000 Hectare farmland lease for min 20 or more year in Volga regions..so this long term to China coulld well be. There is longer term thinking here than Americans short planning...
very low cost or freepay....Putin Administration was basically doing what Great Katerine had done...when invited Germans into same regions to farm and banking
All the progress was terribly destroyed by Bolshevik/Soviet terror and depradations...Recent Russia has effort for restore production on these long abandoned super fertile lands.
US Great Plains, Argentina, etc. ukraine will ALWAYS be willing to trade grain for nat gas and oil and at a disadvantage - where are the gas driven tractors, the grain dryers, the diesel locomotives...
Not in the west.
"It has nothing."
Eggzachery
Nyet...west, especially far west......it has too many crazy russian hater poles and other ranging from violent killers to not much smart...
otherwise lots of good people also unfortunately, who either was not in on this from the start or awaken by now...
No way will there be any fair election...
He says whatever the prompter tells him to say. Have you seen this guy off-script. Its almost as horrifying as watching him throw out the first pitch in a baseball game, or riding around the Vinyard on grannies bicycle and in her denim pataloons
He's just as bad as Bush was:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wS8B1Qp5kQ
And his State Department pissed off Europe with the "Fuck the EU" comment.
Well, if China was still on the fence at all, that should
put them firmly with Russia.
I can't believe Obozo is this stupid, so it has to be
deliberate mendacity.
i duplicated your sentiment exactly below.
Article 5 of the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty
How many countries support this two country closed deal? I don't think many.
So Obama can go back to the hole where he came from and let the Chinese take some islands.
If i were China I first would dumb some 250 billion of USA greenshits within minutes and then I would send the military to grab the Islands
Obomber would eat his own shit the very minute
He's got to look manly, otherwise he'll be critized for being soft on them godless commies and next thing you know we'll all be driving small pansy cars and eating Chow-mein with chopsticks (which is what those westcoast liberals have really always wanted anyway).
After seeing that picture of him on the mountain bike there is no hope of him ever again looking like anything that resembles a man.

It's hard to tell if he's stupid or a puppet. I think the evidence points to stupid puppet.
I don't know if he's stupid or not, but he's definitely an INEFFECTIVE puppet. Saudi Arabia must be so pissed off at him that he can't get a simple war off the ground in Syria.
I think the proof of him being a puppet was his first actions upon being made President. These were to keep the Bush Economic Team in Place and to Keep the Bush Intelligence Team in Place and to Keep the Bush Defense Team in place. These facts are a clear evidence that Obama simply took over the empty suit Bush filled for the real masters of Washington DC, and it ain't the voting public!
Hey, Natalya,
I just love it when you say "Bush"
Is that wrong !:O(
Does that make him a Muppet?
And that's the point, isn't it? Big eared psychopath is in a corner.
"Nobody puts Bobo in a corner."
I know, and he's to dumb to figure out that it will be extremely bad for everybody.
We will sell BLM land cheap to the Chinese in NV but we will defend a TINY island 5000 miles away with overwhelming force and debt. Make sense of that !
lol, hot on the heels of Tony Blairs laughable comments this morning re the middle east,
this is becoming a fckn horrific parody,
Did he say somebody else has the Weapons of Mass Delusion?
a flavor of his crazy speech this morning,
'Having been through Iraq, Afghanistan and so on, I know what the difficult consequences are of intervention. But if you look at Syria, you see the consequences of non-intervention, and I think non-intervention there is, I think, something for which we will pay a very heavy price.'
In a major speech in central London, Mr Blair listed nations where he says there is an ‘essential battle’ to be fought against radical Islam, including Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
actually, sorry, it wouldn't be so bad if he were crazy, the fact that he's not makes that fckn warmongering shite the worse, especially as he and his buddies are the fckn cause of most of it,
Yikes, the world would be a better place if his head were to accidentally fall off.

Understand the subtext...
IF Moslem = BAD
THEN Joos = GOOD
Got it now..?;O)
So if we had it Tony Blair's way we'd pretty much have to invade every Muslim nation on the planet while simultaneously encouraging the citizens of these countries to come live in our western countries.
Logic left the station a long time ago.
well if China was on the fence at all as to whether support the BRICS against the West ($) or to remain in both camps to achieve the best possible rewards, that illusion is now gone. WW3 lines are being drawn now boys and it will begin with the attack on the GRC$. there is no going back. war is coming, prepare accordingly.
I am surprised.
Something is going on we don't know about.
The administration is walking into very dangerous stuff repeatedly.
Maybe it's just the election.
OR...maybe its the deliberate destruction of US credibility...
Just sayin', like...
Petty theft is one thing. But how about someone getting a wild hair and blowing up pipelines.....in several places.....in Western Ukraine so Russia has to make a really hard decision: do they invade and drive west through Ukraine? There's a big difference between doing that and screwing around in Eastern Ukraine close to the Russian border. I hope some dunce/asshole/smart cookie/geo-political genius/mad man doesn't come up with a plan like that. Just imagine holes blown in the pipelines DEEP in Ukraine. Putin would have a hell of a choice to make then. This could get really messed up.
57 tons is nothing, a rounding error, equivalent to the aggregate weight of say 200 USA biggins....
What is the average IQ of the world? It can't be over 13.
Inside the Beltway maybe.
The SE quadrant drops it down from 40.
Lets hope they do
That would sure be good for Europe's economy. Buy the fucking dip, bitchez!
62 m bucks isn't really allot of money these days (so says Dr Evil) .
yep, sure it's only enough to get ye a couple of aprts in Soho,
Also the fee to suicide a banker.
It's OK, Obama can ship oil from his US stockpile because there is plenty of oil!
/sarc
Ha! Ha!
Kill zee dollar.
If you go back, I predicted this. Toot toot on my tin horn!
by the end of the year you will sea the maidan neo-natzi's begging the u.s. either to stay the hell away from ukraine, or you will see them killing their own people who will be rioting. counter-revolutions can be fairly bloody. i don't think egypt was as bad as ukraine will be. plus, they don't have the killer winters ukraine has. so you can expect this shit to maybe play nice until 9 months from now, when people start freezing to death, or killing one another. cutting wood in the forest is another option. get your axe!
until then, the next few months of delay should be interesting. the smart and 'flexible' ukrainians will do what all fucked people do , leave the country. the headstrong and those with few options will stay and suffer. fight or not fight, they will suffer under this rack torture. you figure after all is said and done neither russia nor the u.s. nor europe will want to take the blame for quartering this country. it will not be a pretty site what happens to these human beings.
Heyyy....stop stealin'ski my oil'ski from the pipelineski!
Yeah.... Russia stole that oil / gas from its people fair and square.
your dumb mother stole your brains bitch??
go suck on Jen Psaki anus fucktard
The current US policy seems to be to begin an end game advance by NATO on Russia's western borders while also launching a full on Military advance into the Western pacific bordering all of China's maritime interests in these seas to the east and south of China.
Like Hitler invading the USSR at a time when he had failed to defeat Britain and North Africa was a failure by Italy, leaving the south also open to allied pressure. Obama and the Neocon rulers of America, most of them based on an AngloZionist agenda, seem hell bent on full confrontations with Russia and China. The expected result of this two front attack does at present escape me. But, zionism works in strange ways, and if this opens a door for a bombing of Iran followed by invasion and conquest, then it would make sense. Under cover of the Russian/Ukraine crisis, there may be a move afoot to invade Syria and install a pro Israeli Al-Qaeda government, and to bomb Iran back to the stone age, inavde it and leave radical muslim terrorists to divide up a fractured Iran. Israel and AIPAC play behind the scenes, but rest assured, no American President or military commander can move in any direction without the American Neocon leaders, who are one in the same with Israel's leaders, approving the operations. Those who claim that America's Neocons are sperate from the Israeli State actors are only fooling themselves. Washngton DC, the Pentagon and Intelligence agencies are as much Israel's as they are American's. The long history of US policies and actions going back decades support this theory. Keep yur eyes on Iran and Syria while we are all diverted to a fake Ukrainian crisis. The whole crisis was created in the CIA and will play out as the CIA directs it.
Mohammad was a Jew. He converted to Judaism in order to ascend from a Jewish holy site to talk to God. God recognized him as a Jewish holy man.
The US has been bled dry.
If a conflict could be started devastating Russia,China,EU and the US , guess who would be left to pick up the mantle of hegemon.
No wonder Israel is building bunkers for their general population.
Is that a twisted enough plot for you Jack ?
Nothing else fits all the available facts.
Invade Iran?
Invade Iran!!!?
Yea, that's not going to happen.
Israel will take the opportunity to flatten Iran if the Ukraine mess blows up
Without nukes, how exactly ?
OT?
interesting story about Senator Obama and Senator Lugar being held for some hours in Perm,Russia in August 2005!
Ha, funny, now Obama is pushing WWIII for personal vengeance.
what?
The real money is made from... Mr. Oil!
Obama ... talks the talk, but balks the walk.
never get between an American and a "we want our land back" problem.
Especially if you're gonna give the Baron Von Steuben types 100,000 acres "to do whatever with."
Looks like the O-BOZO administration is doing eerything they can to get a world war started.
Is this the banksters winner-take-all gamble to stay in power after a crack-up boom?
Many other countries have started wars solely so they could blame their mismanagement on the other side.
If the provocations are connected to the financial situation, then something very bad is really close.
"I drink your milkshake"
From "There Will Be Blood" [where else?]
So, the US/western/banker backed regime ae thieves as well. Who would have guessed? (sarc off)
It is not as if we have not seen this replaid time and time again.
"You can loot all you want as long as you are loyal to us"
oil comes and oil goes in 500 years Crimea is Russia
Russia's government threatens that europeans can't do without russian natural gas.
Russia's state owned gas pipeline operator cries about thefts of only $60M/5yr.
If $60M/5yr is even a (tear) drop in the bucket to russia's economy then Russia needs Europe to need Russia's gas more than Europe needs Russia's gas because 12M/yr is a laughable amount. Heck, Putin steals more than that from his people in a bad week. I guess all those threats that Russia will turn off the pipelines was a lie. After all, Putin needs someone to replace all that money hes stolen.
@nje
you mister smartpants obviously dont get it and twist it to your liking....oooh lord why do you make people like these??
its nothing more but finding the right excuse to cut the gas, dont you get it?? ask zee germans how long would they go on without russia's gas and how long the little hitler merkel would stay in power without zeee rusian gas
