Prolonged Sanctions Rip Into Russian Economy, Causing Angst For Putin

Russia is one of two major oil producing countries to have felt the brunt of Western economic sanctions. (https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fsites%2Fti mdaiss%2F2016%2F08%2F19%2Fprolonged-sanctions-rip-into-russia-causing-angst-for-putin%2F&text=Russia%20is%20one%20of%20two%20major%20oil%20 producing%20countries%20to%20have%20felt%20the%20b runt%20of%20Western%20economic%20sanctions.) Iran, who suffered for years under Western sanctions due to Tehran's nuclear ambitions, emerged from sanctions in January, but not unscathed.

Years of crippling sanctions took a toll on the Islamic Republic's finances, a situation that the country is still trying to recover from as it continues to ramp up oil production in an effort to reach pre-sanction output levels of 4 million barrels per day (bpd).

As Iran continues to increase oil production, it is effectively playing the role of spoiler in global oil markets (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timdaiss/2016/08/17/prickly-iran-defies-then-keeps-opec-guessing/#52bc592d786b) awash in supply amid a price plunge that has changed the global oil industry. However, Iran's sanction problems are quickly fading while Russia's have no end in sight.

Since Russia's annexation of Crimea in March, 2014, the U.S. and EU have also leveled sanctions against Russia several times, (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28400218)tightening restrictions on major Russian state banks and corporations, including blacklisting dozens of Russian officials and firms, including energy (http://www.forbes.com/energy/) firms. Three major state oil firms have been targeted: Rosneft (http://www.forbes.com/companies/rosneft/) , Transneft (http://www.forbes.com/companies/transneft/) and Gazprom (http://www.forbes.com/companies/gazprom/) Neft, the oil unit of gas giant Gazprom.

Russian banks and Gazprom’s ability to secure long term funding in U.S. dollars were also blocked. The U.S. and EU also banned exports of services and technology to Russian state oil firms engaged in Arctic and deep-water and unconventional oil and gas exploration and production.


One Novatek project, the massive $27 billion Yamal LNG project to be built in the Russian Arctic, has suffered considerable setbacks. Prohibited from securing financing in U.S. dollars, it scrambled for at least a year in search of funds and finally turned to Chinese banks, which are more expensive and less flexible than Western funding.

Moreover, when Russia’s oil production starts to decline, new oil discoveries will be needed while lack of access to Western technology for offshore drilling will have repercussions for Russia’s oil industry for years to come. Unable to replace declining production, Moscow's’ state coffers will also decline. As much as half of the offshore and fracking technology used by Russia comes from the West.

Low oil prices also take a bite

Oil prices, which have tumbled from $107 per barrel in July 2014 to the mid to high $40s level now, have also caused considerably angst in Russia. Around half of Moscow’s state revenue (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timdaiss/2016/08/05/move-over-saudi-arabia-russia-is-selling-more-oil-to-china-than-you/#679f5f629711) is derived from oil and natural gas exports, though Moscow claims a much lower figure.

Budget problems from low oil prices have also caused Moscow to try selling large stakes in its state-controlled energy companies. In late June, Russian media reported (https://www.rt.com/business/347441-rosneft-stake-china-india/)that the Russian government was considering selling 19.5 % of its shares ($10 billion) in oil major Rosneft to China and India. Last week, however, Russia was forced to delay (http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Russia-Delays-10-Billion-Rosneft-Privatization-Due-To-Low-Oil-Prices.html) its privatization of Rosneft as it waits for oil prices to improve.

Russia’s oil exports have been helped to some degree by the massive devaluation of the Russia ruble, (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-16/russia-is-no-match-for-ex-soviet-satellites-as-currencies-clash) whose 20% loss against the dollar last year was added to a nosedive of 44% the previous year. Though a weak currency hurts Moscow, it makes Russian oil exports cheaper.

In late June, Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to persuade the EU (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/17/putin-structural-problems-in-the-global-economy-remain.html) to not renew sanctions, but to no avail. A week later, the EU extended sanctions in connection with the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.

They are in effect until January 31, 2017 (http://www.euronews.com/2016/07/01/eu-extends-sanctions-against-russia-over-ukraine), then will be reviewed again.

Democrats Turn The Tables With Bill To Stop Trump From Unilaterally Lifting Russian Sanctions

Senate Democrats, anticipating Donald Trump lifting those sanctions, are working to hold Trump to the same rule as Republicans held Obama to regarding sanctions on Iran.

Senate Democrats are calling on President Donald Trump to strengthen, not roll back, sanctions on Russia.Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t spend all of that effort interfering in our election to get nothing out of it. He helped President Trump get elected, and now it’s time for a little quid pro quo. A pressing issue for Putin is no doubt the sanctions that have crippled the Russian economy (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timdaiss/2016/08/19/prolonged-sanctions-rip-into-russia-causing-angst-for-putin/#7f3c75274c2f).Last month, President Obama put harsher sanctions on Russia in response to their interfering in our election. USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/29/barack-obama-russia-sanctions-vladimir-putin/95958472/) reported at the time:

Responding to evidence that Russia hacked Democratic Party officials during this year’s presidential election, the Obama administration Thursday sanctioned Russian intelligence officials, expelled 35 Russian diplomats suspected of being spies and shut down two Russian facilities in the United States.

So Senate Democrats, anticipating Donald Trump lifting those sanctions, are working to hold Trump to the same rule as Republicans held Obama to regarding sanctions on Iran. Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Ranking Member Ben Cardin announced legislation on Sunday that they say mirrors legislation passed in 2015, which was first introduced by Republicans, that subjected any proposed change to sanctions on Iran to a Congressional vote.“

Just like every member of the Senate voted to subject any changes to our Iran sanctions regime in 2015, I hope and urge President Trump and Republicans in Congress to both support this bill and increased sanctions on Russia, and oppose any attempts to roll back existing sanctions,” Senator Schumer said.In 2015, President Obama conceded to bipartisan efforts giving Congress a say in the sanctions on Iran.

At the time, then Speaker John Boehner said (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/15/us/senators-reach-deal-on-iran-nuclear-talks.html), “Congress absolutely should have the opportunity to review this deal. We shouldn’t just count on the administration, who appears to want a deal at any cost.”

Trump never bought the hack horseshit. They finally nagged him into "I think..." but he's never bought what they're selling. Neither have I. It's all a feeding frenzy horseshit that they've pulled on us a million times.

But do [we] care? Of course not. Trump harangued both sides of the spectrum for loading their pockets on [our] back at [our] expense. Fuck, we knew that, been telling each other that for years and beating our breasts about what we're gonna do about it if we ever get the chance. Ha. We get the chance, Trump calls ass during his inauguration speech and what do we do? The women folk charge out into the streets in high numbers to burn their brassieres for the umpteenth fucking time.

And don' fret about it. 4 years henceforth and half of that 62 million Trumpers will punch that chad for Clinton, or, Bush, or, Bush, or, Clinton, you know:::whoever's turn it is to fuck our brains out once more.

Meet Russia's new generation of super weaponsRussia has dramatically increased its military spending on tanks, submarines and stealth planes.

A report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (https://www.sipri.org/research/armament-and-disarmament/arms-transfers-and-military-spending/military-expenditure) suggests Russian military has nearly doubled its spending since 2006.
Some of these new war machines have Western military experts shaken -- and for good reason.

Pootin's BoyToy getting started

Trump eases Russia sanctions to allow US electronics exports

The sanctions targeted a Russian agency for its role in US elections hacks. It turns out that agency also has say over import-export permits.

On Thursday, the US Department of the Treasury issued a license (PDF (https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cyber_gl1.pdf)) letting US exporters obtain permits from the Russian Federal Security Service for "the importation, distribution, or use of information technology products in the Russian Federation."

The change to the sanctions set off disagreement in Washington over whether President Donald Trump was going easy on Russia.

Trump has equivocated on whether he'll maintain these sanctions, which targeted eight other entities in addition to the Federal Security Service, and other sanctions that Obama issued in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the change wasn't a sign of Trump rolling back the sanctions against Russia. :lol

[Xevious]

Trump has had some negative things to say about NATO, so that alone would endear him to Putin. Russia can increase their influence with less friction. The question is, why is Trump so determined to be besties with Putin while having no problems pissing off every other world leader? I'm not saying he should go out of his way to cause problems, but his attitude towards Putin is weird, and predates his presidential run. It's like the fat kid at school trying too hard to be friends with the "cool" kid.

Exclusive: In call with Putin, Trump denounced Obama-era nuclear arms treaty - sources

By Jonathan Landay (http://www.reuters.com/journalists/jonathan-landay) and David Rohde (http://www.reuters.com/journalists/david-rohde) | WASHINGTON

In his first call as president with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump denounced a treaty that caps U.S. and Russian deployment of nuclear warheads as a bad deal for the United States, according to two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official with knowledge of the call.

When Putin raised the possibility of extending the 2010 treaty, known as New START, Trump paused to ask his aides in an aside what the treaty was,

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-putin-idUSKBN15O2A5?il=0

=============

According to three officials briefed on the phone call, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly asked Trump about extending a treaty – commonly known as New START – which establishes that both countries agree to cut back their nuclear missile launchers down to 1,550.

Trump had to put Putin on hold to hurriedly ask his aides what New START was.

When he returned to the call, he said the “START Up” deal was a bad negotiation from Obama’s tenure, saying Russia had “outsmarted” the US. Trump said (wrongly) that the deal permits Russia to continue making nuclear warheads while the US can not.

He then pivoted the conversation to talk about his own popularity in the US. :lol

(He’s the least popular new President in modern history.) (http://www.salon.com/2017/01/30/trump-makes-history-poll-finds-president-trump-has-become-an-unpopular-president-in-record-time/)

Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with [Sergey] Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, “No.” On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn “indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn’t be certain that the topic never came up.”

....The emerging details contradict public statements by incoming senior administration officials including Mike Pence...Nine current and former officials, who were in senior positions at multiple agencies at the time of the calls, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

All of those officials said *Flynn’s references to the election-related sanctions were explicit. Two of those officials went further, saying that Flynn urged Russia not to overreact to the penalties being imposed by President Barack Obama, making clear that the two sides would be in position to review the matter after Trump was sworn in as president. “Kislyak was left with the impression that the sanctions would be revisited at a later time,” said a former official.

Donald Trump has successfully buried the story that worries him most (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/2/9/1631858/-Donald-Trump-has-successfully-buried-the-story-that-worries-him-most)

Even though there are mountains of evidence. Even though the implications literally include an existential threat to the United States. Even though it is, by any measure, the greatest scandal ever to affect this or any other administration … the story has utterly vanished from the media (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/russia-trump-putin-scandal-media):


According to the consensus assessment of US intelligence agencies, Russian intelligence, under the orders of Vladimir Putin, mounted an extensive operation to influence the 2016 campaign to benefit Donald Trump. This was a widespread covert campaign that included hacking Democratic targets and publishing swiped emails via WikiLeaks. And it achieved its objectives.


That this story is constantly forgotten behind a barrage of daily nonsense is both maddening and astounding. At the very least, we know that ...


• Trump’s campaign manager worked directly for Russia (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/8/17/1561050/-Trump-s-campaign-manager-laid-groundwork-for-invasion-of-Crimea) to subvert the government of the Ukraine, and was paid millions of dollars to generate “spontaneous demonstrations” in which US Marines were attacked in order to give Putin an excuse to seize Crimea.
• The Russian assistant ambassador is on record saying that, despite numerous denials, Russia was in contact (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/11/10/1595495/-Surprise-Trump-was-a-Putin-puppet-all-along) with the Trump campaign on a regular basis.
• The only item where the Trump campaign forced a change in the Republican platform—the only item—was in modifying a plank to weaken the party’s stance on opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And Trump representatives said that concern came from Trump personally. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/8/3/1555927/-Donald-Trump-may-be-acting-crazy-but-it-s-keeping-the-news-away-from-the-one-story-he-wants-to-bury)

And yes, out there is a supposed folio of kompromat (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/1/10/1619036/-Classified-Russians-have-compromising-information-on-Trump-and-his-team-took-orders-from-Moscow) containing items that Russia feels it can use to put pressure on Trump and his team. But even if every disgusting item in that secret file is just a fantasy, how is it possible that this story has completely disappeared? (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/russia-trump-putin-scandal-media)


We honestly don’t know if there’s even any investigation into the Trump-Russia connection.

At Spicer's first briefing, Anita Kumar of McClatchy did ask (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/01/23/sean-spicers-defense-of-himself-and-explanation-of-donald-trumps-sensitivity-annotated/?utm_term=.cb7ca8c57252), "Has the president spoken to any of the intelligence agencies about the investigation into the Russian connections? And will he allow that to go on?" Spicer replied, "I don't believe he has spoken to anyone specifically about that and I don't know that. He has not made any indication that he would stop an investigation of any sort." This was an important question that warranted a response that was less equivocal—and reporters could have pointed that out.

At the next day's briefing, on January 24, Margaret Talev of Bloomberg asked Spicer about reports that Comey was remaining in his post and whether Comey and Trump had discussed "the Russia investigation and the parameters of that." Spicer responded, "I don't have anything on that."


That’s what we have. Is Trump stopping the investigation? “I don’t know that.” Has he talked to Comey about it? “I don’t have anything on that.” That’s it.

In the two weeks before the election, it looked as if the Russian story was about to blow up. Reports on October 31 promised that there was an ongoing investigation, that a server inside Trump’s organization was in contact with a Russian bank, and that there was considerable information of Trump’s dealings with Russia which had not been made public. The next day, that story was utterly quashed (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/11/1/1589659/-Someone-fed-the-NYT-information-to-quickly-kill-emerging-Trump-Russia-stories-was-it-Comey) in a New York Times story citing unnamed “law enforcement officials.”

Those same “officials” completely mischaracterized the Russian email hacking and the intent as it had been determined by the intelligence community.

And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.


Despite this, the New York Times has never revisited the story, or resurrected any discussion of the issues it killed—just three days after it had devoted the entire front page to the story of Comey’s letter on Clinton’s emails.

We’ve also learned that, no speculation required, Donald Trump’s new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson signed a $500 billion deal (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/12/12/1609948/-Why-does-Russia-want-Trump-It-s-all-about-oil-Why-does-Trump-want-Russia-It-s-all-about-money) with Vladimir Putin that would vastly increase Putin’s ability to exert Russia’s military and economic influence in Europe and the Middle East. Kremlin commentators called Tillerson "a Christmas gift from the American people to the Russian people." (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/12/14/1610998/-Rex-Tillerson-A-Christmas-gift-to-the-Russian-people) Notice that this gift exchange was strictly a one-way affair.

We know that Russians didn’t just “make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets” as Donald Trump Jr. stated proudly, but that Russian oligarchs bailed out a failing Trump (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/1/9/1618540/-Was-Donald-Trump-bailed-out-of-bankruptcy-by-Russia-crime-bosses) and secured both real estate and connections for their investment. Several Trump projects were Russian projects with a Trump brand.

The money to build these projects flowed almost entirely from Russian sources. In other words, after his business crashed, Trump was floated and made to appear to operate a successful business enterprise through the infusion of hundreds in millions of cash from dark Russian sources.


And that doesn’t even touch on Trump’s involvement with the emails stolen from the DNC and private individuals to assist Trump. In fact, that’s not even close to everything. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/8/3/1555927/-Donald-Trump-may-be-acting-crazy-but-it-s-keeping-the-news-away-from-the-one-story-he-wants-to-bury)

Let’s review:



Donald Trump has frequently expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin, viewing him as a “strong” leader who Trump “admires.” Trump has also given wildly differing statements (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/07/watch-trump-brag-of-speaking-to-vladimir-putin) on his personal relationship with Putin.
Trump has, on multiple occasions, suggested a weakening of the NATO alliance.
Despite this, Trump previously expressed support for Ukraine.
After Trump hired Paul Manafort, a man who had worked for—and may still be working for—pro-Russian forces seeking to destroy the democratic government of Ukraine, Trump’s position on Ukraine changed to one that is far more friendly to Russia.
Trump campaign staff, including former Rumsfeld assistant J. D. Gordon, halted the implementation of pro-Ukraine language in the GOP platform, and insisted on language that was much more supportive of Russia after saying they had to speak directly to Trump about the policy.
One week after the change was written into the GOP platform, emails hacked from the DNC were released through Wikileaks. Both government and independent investigators have identified the hackers as being associated with the Russian government.
Donald Trump suggested that Russia might also hack Hillary Clinton’s email server and recover 30,000 emails (which are not “missing,” but were personal emails deleted by a team of lawyers who reviewed the server).
Trump later claimed he was being sarcastic, but within a week of his request, further hacks took place at the DCCC and the Hillary Clinton campaign. These hacks have also been identified as coming from Russian sources.
Both Manafort and Trump issued denials that they had anything to do with the changes to the Republican platform, despite the many witnesses and despite having made no objection to the news as it was reported at the time.
Trump, in an interview, seemed not only confused about the two-year-old invasion of the Ukraine, but gave apparently contradictory indications that, were he elected, he would cede the occupied Crimea to Russia, and that the Russians would withdraw from the Ukraine.

None of that is speculation. Not one word of it is theory
.

So why isn't this story getting any attention? (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/russia-trump-putin-scandal-media)


There has been no loud demand from the DC media (or most of the GOP) for answers and explanations. This quietude is good news for Putin—and reason for him to think he could get away with such an operation again.

The American intelligence community is quite certain that the Donald Trump campaign was aided, whether knowingly or not, by a Russian government-sponsored espionage and propaganda effort aimed at boosting Trump's chances for the presidency.

The Trump campaign was staffed with so many Russia-linked figures that newspapers took to designing charts to show them all, from Paul Manafort to Carter Page to Michael Flynn.

The new Secretary of State comes to the role from a position orchestrating an oil deal between his company and Russia so massive that, if sanctions preventing it are lifted, it would

reshape the Russian government's own finances for years to come.

The intelligence community knows of contact between Trump staffers and the Russian government before the inauguration.

The intelligence community verified that despite Trump adviser Michael Flynn insisting he did not discuss the hacking-related sanctions imposed by the Obama administration on the Russian government with a Russian official, he in fact did (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/national-security-adviser-flynn-discussed-sanctions-with-russian-ambassador-despite-denials-officials-say/2017/02/09/f85b29d6-ee11-11e6-b4ff-ac2cf509efe5_story.html?utm_term=.a73aff504ef3).

The intelligence community has now verified (http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/10/politics/russia-dossier-update/) parts of the infamous and salacious "dossier" on Trump-Russia ties, though not the most alarming and damning bits.

And the American intelligence community is now operating under the suspicion that the new White House may include, somewhere within its top ranks a Russian mole (http://observer.com/2017/02/donald-trump-administration-mike-flynn-russian-embassy/).

A senior National Security Agency official explained that NSA was systematically holding back some of the “good stuff” from the White House, in an unprecedented move.

For decades, NSA has prepared special reports for the president’s eyes only, containing enormously sensitive intelligence. In the last three weeks, however, NSA has ceased doing this,

fearing Trump and his staff cannot keep their best SIGINT secrets. [...]

What’s going on was explained lucidly by a senior Pentagon intelligence official, who stated that

“since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM,”

meaning the White House Situation Room, the 5,500 square-foot conference room in the West Wing where the president and his top staffers get intelligence briefings.

“There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point,”

the official added in wry frustration.

Congress Must Act As Intelligence Experts Warn Russia Is Listening In Trump’s Situation Room

“Since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the Situation Room," a Senior Pentagon intelligence official is quoted as saying. Adding, “There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point."

so quietly laid down, was provided by security expert and former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer John Schindler, who dropped a few more trails leading to alarm Sunday in his Observer column (http://observer.com/2017/02/donald-trump-administration-mike-flynn-russian-embassy/).

Schindler, based on his conversations with the intelligence community, put a finer point on what parts of the dossier were confirmed.

Schindler says the report “is damning for the administration.” This could mean that there is evidence that Trump or someone in his administration conspired with Moscow. It seems to

suggest something more than the idea that Trump has been compromised, because that doesn’t seem specifically damning to the administration.

“None of this has happened in Washington before. A White House with unsettling links to Moscow wasn’t something anybody in the Pentagon or the Intelligence Community even considered a possibility until a few months ago.”

“Republicans on the Hill who would prefer that the White House stop lying to the public about its Kremlin links ought to get behind Schiff’s initiative before the scandal gets worse.”
