If you mean the Central Asian pipe system then nope, it is working close to max capacity as it is.

He said it would be more complicated, not that US is unable to support two allies at once. Also, the context of backwards justifying exit from Afghanistan. This is why you don't take people's editorializations and paraphrasing at face value.
Japan is special case due to its highly reliable used and new automobiles.. even the newer highly computerized model is modified.
Russia can get rid of Germanic engineering but i am not sure about Japanese as vehicles from various countries will still be imported. and they need parts and trained mechanics.
These kind of vehicles are tested by Royals in tough long duration use. Saudi women got it for there first rally.
Look, price controls don't work. They always lead to shortages. When Maduro fixed the price of paper in Venezuela, paper vanished from supermarket shelves. The West put sanctions on shipping of Russian oil above the price cap, so the amount of oil shipped with those ships will decrease or vanish completely. It is as simple as that. Same deal happened with Nixon fixing prices. Producers do not like working below market price. And producers do not work for free or at a loss with no good reason. Less of it all in a conflict like this.
So a certain amount of oil will vanish off the global market. The average price of oil will increase as a result because the other oil producing countries have minimal leeway to increase supply, and might not even want to, OPEC has already manifested itself to be against price caps on oil, and they might try to counter the practice as a matter of principle.
Because the market is now asymmetric and Western countries no longer want to import Russian oil, Russian oil price will go down, and other nations oil price will go up. This basically taxes Western countries energy imports, while countries who balk at the sanctions will pay a lower price. The current sanctions are already pretty close to an embargo. The West will likely try to apply secondary sanctions or do an actual embargo next. But the thing is you cannot replace an oil exporter the size of Saudi Arabia just like that. The non-Western countries will not want their economies to implode without oil to the benefit of wealthy countries. There will be friction that is for sure.
Russia can export some of the gas via LNG. And the gas is still flowing West via Ukraine, Blue Stream, and Turk Stream.
There might be like 80 bcm on balance they aren't exporting that would have otherwise. I have not looked at the numbers lately.
Power of Siberia 2 is supposed to take care of 50 bcm and the rest will be able to be exported as LNG once more capacity goes up.
Arctic LNG 2 first string will come online in 2023. You will likely see more come online two years after that. And in 2028 we might see Power of Siberia 2. Who knows.
With regards to capital flows from export in 2 years Russia might be exporting 38 bcm or more to China via Power of Siberia. And then there are the possible expansions.
Russia has a huge amount of LNG storage. Several months worth of it. They can fill the storage. And from what I heard they can throttle the output of the gas wells to a degree. They lack a strategic oil reserve thus far, so oil storage is way more limited.
Right. China will start using more oil. While there will be issues shipping Urals because of lack of ships I expect Russia to simply cut production of oil. They will not be selling oil below cost on a situation like this it is as simple as that. In the long run Russia might make pipelines to export more Urals oil into China. As is they already export from Vankor into China to some degree but ESPO is already operating at top capacity.

It's the end of the year and the EU was supposed to stop buying Russian energy completely and they're still talking about price cap...?
You can seal off a well and then restart it.
But it's expensive and the well may not return to previous production.
There's a write up below for a oil well

successful yes but smart? i only observed Musk selfie with people at FIFA final . he may think as more competent conservative but alot of world leaders lose there stability of mind when they get too close to Arabs . Atlantic slave trade is mentioned but Arab trade not. if some one give slightest hint than there is example of Libyan leader end.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is warning the U.S. against carrying out a "decapitation blow" targeting calling it a "threat to physically eliminate the head of the Russian state."
Lavrov made the comments Tuesday in an interview with reportedly in reference to an unverified report in September citing an anonymous Pentagon official saying the U.S. was considering such action if Russia ever launched a nuclear strike.
"Washington went the furthest. … Some ‘unnamed officials’ from the Pentagon actually threatened to inflict a ‘decapitation blow’ on the Kremlin, but, in fact, it is a threat to physically eliminate the head of the Russian state," Lavrov said.
IMHO: The neocon/neolib (i.e.: neofascist) regime in Washington DC needs to be crushed as soon as possible for peace to prevail. After so many wars and coups of aggression over the past 20 years without consequences, the world needs to come together to confront this fascist/totalitarian threat to humanity. In the end, the neocon/neolib USA and its heinous neocon/neolib ideology belong right next to Fascist Germany and Fascist Italy, the dustbin of history.
Is China, India, Brazil, and the rest of the TRUE free world taken this far-right threat emanating from this fascist regime serious ?
