Except that Russia's pipelines are mostly all to the west. And to transport crude or refined products to China and India, they need to go by ship. Hmmmmm... where to load them? Oh, and a big fat nyet from the Suez Canal, Bosphorous (maybe?) and all the logistics of global shipping, marine support, repair, navigation, companies etc that will not risk being subject to sanctions for dealing with and funding the Russian terrorist state. Oh, and don't forget environmental and other liability insurance. No fucking way ANY insurance will do business insuring Russians or Russian ships that will not be able to be maintained due to sanctions.All that will happen is the EU will buy more oil from the middle east, and Russia will sell more oil to their asian clients. China and India will buy more Russian refined products and sell products from their own refinaries and a HUGE premium.
But now... please tell me how Russia and China will form their own insurance companies! lol! Like there is anyone left who would trust Russian and russians (or Chinese) to pay for any losses. Both countries well known for blatant lying and never accepting responsibility for anything.
With the huge price hikes this will cause, Russia will make more money from selling less product. Since I own a lot of oil stock all I can say is Danke Ursula. South Ossetia will probably wait until the Kherson referendum is ready to roll.
Yes, ironically russia will get the same or more money for selling less oil and gas due to the war.
