https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-02/R83VQCT0AFBA01 Russian oil sales are increasingly under an embargo in all but name, threatening a vital source of global crude supply. While there are currently no sanctions in place preventing companies from purchasing the nation’s crude, buyers are refusing to take it, and tanker companies are unwilling to ship it.

114 oil And they just increased some of my favorite snacks and food items by 25%%%%. Yep 25%+++ Eventually something has to break, you can't have forever rising oil prices and the cost of goods and services rising in a straight line. The consumer will eventually tap out and there will be a significant price readjustments across all asset classes.

Hyperinflation for the US and Europe is around the corner. Commodities prices are also, rising. Ukraine exports a lot of commodities to the US and Europe. That supply could be cut for a long time. Unintended consequences of the sanctions is that the US and Europe will pay sky high prices for oil and commodities, if not already.
