What Hacker News says?
Always useful to check past predictions from the author, e.g. So, what would happen to those 6 million barrels a day if the West stopped buying? Russian officials have threatened to send it “elsewhere,” while the media have focused on stories of stepped-up sales to China and India. But this threat of a redirection to Asia is a paper tiger. - Apr 26, 2022 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/04/26/sanction-r..…
