US Lifts Sanctions on Russian Oil — Kosta Angrier Than a Liepāja Resident Who's Been Waiting for a Bus at Tošele Stop
Americans have decided that oil prices are more important than principles, but Kosta doesn't understand this.
The US has quietly lifted sanctions on Russian oil trade, which is about as surprising as news that it's windy in Liepāja. British Minister Kosta's reaction was as diplomatic as a Liepāja resident who's been waiting for a bus at Tošele stop for half an hour only to find out the route has been cancelled.
Washington explained that easing sanctions is necessary to prevent fuel prices from rising. This is as logical as Riga's city planning — the main thing is to make it look like something is being done. Kosta believes that economic pressure on Russia is crucial for peace, but Americans apparently think peace is cheaper gasoline prices.
In his statement, Kosta pointed out that such a decision affects European security. Well yes, of course it does — just like every American decision in the last 50 years. But at least he's trying, which is more than can be said about Riga, where they still can't figure out why trams go downhill.
Meanwhile, activity continues in the Persian Gulf, and oil prices are rising like spring onions. Russia is earning 150 million dollars a day from this, which is exactly as much as Riga spends annually to explain why metro construction is delayed. The only thing that remains unchanged in this chaos is Liepāja residents' ability to maintain their sense of humor even in the most complicated situations.
