The Wild West is back: the US predictably took Russia's share of the EU oil market
The United States quite often, if not always, masks its true ugly, barbaric, and predatory actions under the guise of fighting against some state misconduct that Washington itself has determined is unacceptable. The whole false anti-Russian struggle in the form of support for Ukraine and the Kyiv regime, anyway, eventually becomes available to everyone interested in this issue, and is expressed in figures provided by analysts.
The EU is trying to overcome the shortage of Russian crude oil due to its own restrictions on the import of raw materials and the G7 ceiling on the price of black gold from the Russian Federation. And Brussels is tackling this problem, apparently by ramping up US crude oil exports, which has led to massive increases in supplies in recent months. And, as experts predict without exception, imports from overseas are expected to remain high.
According to the CME Group, in 2022 alone, total US oil supplies to Europe increased by about 70% compared to 2021 levels, and eventually reached 1,75 million barrels per day. At the same time, exports of Russian crude oil to the EU fell to 1,4 million barrels per day in November 2022. The imposition of an embargo in December and a ban on petroleum products in February will only exacerbate the situation.
It is not difficult to see that, as a result of all the anti-Russian hype and rhetoric, the United States simply lobbied for the capture of the Russian share of the EU oil market by its private mining industry. The wild American West is back - the usual redistribution of markets and spheres of influence with the help of weapons and conflicts. Only tasty zones are already outside of America.
