"...Russia, in exchange for this incursion into Ukraine would get the Chinese market for the energy transitions."
From whom would Russia get this payment for the Ukrainian special operation? What are 'energy transitions'?
"Part of the global partnership arrangement between Russia and Germany was the rehabbing of housing in Russia providences to energy efficient buildings, it didn't state if those regions were inside or outside Russian borders but we know that Russia thinks what isn't inside it's borders is theirs anyway."
What? Are you referring to some treaty or something?
"...in exchange for provocations that would force the world into the start of their planned energy transitions that Russia would be guaranteed a market three times the size of the one they currently serve."
'In exchange' refers to a transaction. With whom would Russia be exchanging provocations for energy markets? There's a couple different potential obligors in such theorized exchange. China, whom is the energy market. The USA, who has deranged Ukrainian government and is pouring money into it to keep hostilities going to the last Ukrainian. Germany, who you have referred to earlier, but who sure seems to be losing the war in the Ukraine at the moment, and, my favorite, the WEF, who is benefiting strategically from the destabilization of Europe and the world by the means of sanctions justified by opposition to Russian military action in the Ukraine. Whom do you mean?
Also how you could say with a straight face that Russia lays claim to clay outside it's borders and fail to mention the USA in that context is somewhat startling. At least Russia is jerking countries on it's borders around (and only after the USA and HATO have destabilized them), and not invading countries on other continents.
"...people just kept right on insisting that Europeans were going to freeze this winter."
By people, you mean the EU, the Greens of Germany, and HATO, right? Because that's who is cutting Europe off from Russian Gas and stealing Russian sovereign funds to jack up the price of gas they can't do without.
At least until the USA put paid to NS2 as promised, but that's HATO, so, yeah.
"...light crude ... was being converted to LNG..."
Methane, sold as LNG, is one of many resources that are extracted from the Earth, when oil is, or all by itself, and not something oil is converted into, like plastics, fertilizers, or innumerable chemicals are, AFAIK. If I am wrong about this, I'd appreciate a link to some explanation of the conversion technology and some of the companies doing it. I once owned a piece of Methanex, the gorilla king of the LNG market at the time, so I had some idea of what they sold and how they got it. At least I thought I did. It's not that methane can't be made from oil. It can. It can be made from poop, from corpses, from almost any organic source, including organic chemicals like oil, but it erupts from the ground in geysers all by itself, so no one bothers turning straw and soil into methane. It's cheaper just to pipe that natural gas from natural sources to wherever it can be profitably burned.
"...which is why people paid outrageous amounts for gasoline this summer."
Biden's destruction of the US energy sector is the reason for that, killing Keystone XL on his first day in office, and so deprecating the industry that I've read that no refinery will ever again be built in the USA after Biden. Seeing as LNG is a side effect of oil extraction (and from pure natural gas wells), that conversion of oil to methane would not be causing gasoline prices to do anything at all, because no such conversion is being undertaken. It is simply the destruction of the US energy industry that is causing gasoline and diesel prices to skyrocket, because of Biden being a mindless thrall of the banksters that have taken over the USG with the help of the intelligence community and their wholly owned corporate media.
"...Demand increases prices as we seen with our gasoline prices this past summer."
Supply and demand regulate prices in a free market (which we do not have). Demand for oil hasn't increased by 100% in the last two years. Prices did. The other pressure on price besides increased demand is reduced supply - and that's what's increasing prices. Biden groveled to his bankster masters and destroyed the oil industry in the US, put political pressure on the EU, and particularly Germany, to quit buying Russian energy, and then blew up NS2 to put a cap on it.
Supply shortages increased energy prices, not demand increases.
"Light crude was used to convert it to liquified natural gas..."
No, that's not how methane is produced for sale. It comes out of oil wells, and gas wells that don't produce oil, and does not need to be made from oil. I actually know people in Texas that get royalty checks quarterly for gas wells on their property. Methane comes out of holes in the ground, not refineries making it from oil.
"Chances are better than not it was also why we seen such high exports of oil to China and India..."
India and China have long had demand for oil they could not get supplied because they couldn't pay for it. Oil costs blood. The USA has paid the iron price for oil from the Middle East, and China and India have not. Since Europe won't buy Russian oil and gas anymore, now China and India get all they need from Russia at prices they can pay. China is even getting more than it needs so it can sell it to Europe at a profit, so the EU, the German Greens, and HATO, can pretend it's not buying energy from Russia, by buying it from China after China buys it from Russia. It's entirely a scam engineered by the banksters to collapse the global economy and monetary system so they can replace it - build back better - with nothing...er, I mean completely sustainable fairy dust and unicorn farts...er, I mean plentiful wind and solar (which isn't plentiful, reliable, or greener, because manufacturing rare earth magnets needed for wind turbines is horrifically environmentally harmful, and solar panels also need rare minerals just as nasty to manufacture, as do lithium batteries to store electricity because solar isn't available at night (or in winter, spring, and fall) and the wind is variable too. Worse, there just isn't capacity to replace oil, gas, and coal with fairy farts, and never will be, so the whole idea is just a scam - that does more damage to the environment than oil, gas, and coal - to begin with.
"...because they, also in these global partnerships, have built the infrastructure needed to convert oil to natural gas..."
Again, that's not where natural gas comes from. Note the name: natural gas. It's naturally produced, not refined from oil or made in factories.
...whereas the US didn't have the refining capacity due to shutter refineries during covid who refuse to open back up because they know that the US is getting in on the game and building refineries in Africa."
Covid is a scam and no political action taken was because of a deadly pandemic because there was no deadly pandemic. Political oppression was committed and corrupt minions of the WEF pointed at SARS2 and claimed it was deadly. Putting people under house arrest doesn't affect pandemics. Closing mom and pop businesses doesn't either. SARS2 is just the common cold with some New! Improvements! from Ralph Baric, Anthony Fauci, and Shi Zhengli, and it is not deadly. It isn't, and the jabs are. It's scams on scams. Endless scams, everywhere you look.
"The only way for the US to compete against China and India for Europe's business..."
What? The US has handed Europe to the BRICS on a platter. The US created Europe. First the US bombed it into ruins and ashes, then built it into an economic power through the Marshall Plan, and then profited - until the banksters' counterfeiting so deranged the global monetary system that system completely collapsed in 2008, and they resorted to QE, which is just printing massive amounts of money and delivering it to debtors that owe more money than actually exists (because in a debt based monetary system money is created by loaning it to a borrower, which creates the principal of the loan but does not create the interest, leaving huge unpayable liabilities because the money to pay them does not exist).
Creating more money in a debt based monetary system to enable those interest payments to be made just makes the problem worse, because money is only created as principal in loans, and every time they make more money, more interest becomes payable that they didn't make when they made the principal of the loans that spawned the new money. They just kick the can down the road a little bit, and in 2019 the whole counterfeiting operation was literally falling apart.
So they crashed the economy with lockdowns pretending they were to protect us from a virus. The lockdowns actually were to prevent money from being diverted from the banksters' corporations so they could conjure more money than previously existed and really kick the hell out of the can. Most of the money that exists has been created since January 2020.
They just made the problem that much worse. The immense wealth of the banksters is all derived from that counterfeiting operation that has been ongoing for centuries (the FED since 1913), and they are now attempting to convert their fraudulent fiat into SDRs (special drawing rights, that we can't afford), removing the source of the problem that, if they don't convert their stolen funds into non-debt based money, will simply make their financial wealth utterly worthless, leaving them bankrupt and jumping out of their office windows (which would be a fitting end for the entire industry, IMHO).
Donald Rumsfeld once said "If you have a problem you can't solve, make it bigger." By doubling and doubling again the size of the economic destruction, the banksters make it our problem too. By doubling and doubling it again, they make us dependent on their fiat money. That's the point of UBI, and welfare. Now their problem of their counterfeiting fraud being unsustainable and collapsing is our problem, and it's a problem that leaves us utterly economically destroyed, because we took the free money and depended on it.
Enter the Ukraine. Along with the plandemic, the sanctions deprecate the economy. Blatant sabotage of essential industries like agriculture, energy, medicine, etc., makes it worse yet. Jabbing billions with clots of death exacerbates it further. Productive civil society takes a lot of killing to put it down, it seems. The WEF needs to so freeze, starve, and impoverish us globally that we cannot survive, so that they can offer CBDC UBI bugpods (that come with 24/7 surveillance and tracking, involuntary test subject status, cheap insect swill instead of steak and potatoes, and CBDCs that can only be spent on approved items, enable government to just extract taxes from your account whenever they want, and can just be turned off if you skip ahead in line, smoke a cigarette, or say something that offends one of their protected class of offenders) and make it an offer we can't refuse.
The poor in nations like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were already unable to turn down their offer, and Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have already collapsed. The West, however, has not been poor enough to succumb to their shitty terms, so we're being sabotaged and impoverished until we are poor enough to succumb.
"...is to offshore oil refining to a less regulatory environment and a cheaper workforce. The deal brokered by the Trump administration to send Europe LNG led to the financing and backing of thirty billion dollars to Africa to build refineries there."
Africa has minerals. The destruction of Europe and the USA leaves Africa able to develop, and so it's being developed. It's not necessarily an either or thing. Africa could have been developed centuries ago. It's been completely prevented from development, because developing those resources would have enriched Africans and prevented the banksters from exerting enough control to completely corrupt it and the West too. They can only do so much evil at a time.
Now that the USA and Europe are being destroyed, they can give Africa the attention necessary to ensure they prevent Africans from benefiting from that development, completely corrupt it, and keep the profits to themselves.
"In the meantime, to get this transition off the ground despite being behind in the game, it wouldn't surprise me that the high cost we paid for gasoline was also attributed to oil being sent off to China and India for conversion to LNG than shipped to Europe."
Oil.Is.Not.Converted.To.LNG.
"...paying increased prices due to high demand..."
That's not why prices are increasing. Demand has remained constant, rising slightly over time, as it always has. Inadequate supply raises prices, whether from demand increase or supply decrease. Supply decrease is causing the price rise, across the board - in addition to inflation, because most of the money in existence has been created since January 2020.
"It actually should be illegal."
All these frauds, sabotage, oppression, and forced subjection to medical experimentation are illegal. They are crimes against humanity as defined in the Nuremberg Code, and the guilty should be tried, convicted, and hanged by the neck until dead, as prescribed by law.
"...all of a sudden there's the mention of the third pipeline left untouched."
Do you mean the new pipeline from Norway that was opened the day NS2, and half of NS1, were destroyed?
"The Bovanenkovo gas field is a natural gas field..."
Notice that? Natural gas, methane, is coming out of a hole in the ground. It's NATURAL gas, not converted oil.
"...it's pretty apparent at this point that every country involved benefits to some degree or another."
No, none of the countries benefits. Oligarchs benefit. The WEF and their traitorous minions benefit. The people of the USA, Russia, the Ukraine, China, all of Europe, Africa, Asia, Oz, S. America... all the people that are the nations being corrupted and destroyed suffer. All the countries of the world, and all the people in them, are being crushed deliberately. Putin and the Russian oligarchs are benefiting. Zelensky and his master Kolomoisky are benefiting. Xi and the CCP are benefiting. Because Xi and the CCP are benefiting, Biden and Pelosi are benefiting because they are groveling minions of Commies. The WEF is benefiting by imposing the totalitarian technocratic tyranny that is the New World Order, that new normal they keep talking about.
You and me are not benefiting. We are about to face utter penury and starvation during the grand solar minimum (that started in 2020, and will last until ~2050. The Bronze Age ended ~1200 BC because a grand solar minimum caused empires to collapse from crop failures, invasions from desperate hordes further north, and the weakened immune systems of the starving hordes caused plagues, and all these things together collapsed all the empires across the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia. It took centuries for the Iron Age to begin and new empires to take shape) that will cause snow in July and crop failures on top of the sabotage and havoc corrupt government has caused. Our country is not benefiting. We are being enslaved.
I basically disagree with your ascribing price rises to increase in demand, ignoring sabotage and inflation, and your baseless theory that oil is being converted to natural gas, which is natural and not made in factories, but appreciate the thought you have put into it, and agree with your basic premise that we are being fucked without lube by overlords desperate to retain their insuperable fortunes gained through criminal fraud.
However, there are ways to beat these bastards (which is why they're desperate), and those of us clever enough to figure it out will. I look forward to seeing you amongst the victors, after this is over and the prophesied paradise and diaspora of terrestrial life across the infinite, barren universe begins.
Should be fun.
Thanks!
