    Not so long ago, at the St.
    Petersburg International Economic Forum, Kazakh President Tokayev said in front of Putin that he would not recognize the independence of
    Luhansk and Donetsk.
    I have to say that on such an occasion, Tokayev's words are indeed inappropriate, which is equivalent to directly not giving Putin face
    .
    For Russia, this must be unbearable
    .
    A few days later, Russia announced that it would close two oil pipelines in the port of Novorossiysk for a while
    .
    You know, this is an important oil pipeline
    in Kazakhstan.
    By doing so, Russia is probably also teaching Kazakhstan a lesson
    .
    But after that, Kazakhstan still did not learn its lesson
    .
    Naturally, Putin had to do something
    more.

    Two days ago, a Russian district court issued an order saying it would suspend activities on the Caspian Pipeline Union pipeline for 30 days
    .
    This is equivalent to directly cutting off the lifeblood
    of the Kazakhs.
    You know, Kazakhstan is a big oil exporter, and most of the oil exports are through the pipelines operated by the Caspian Pipeline Alliance
    .
    According to statistics, Kazakhstan transports more than a million barrels of oil
    through these pipelines every day.
    If the pipeline is broken, it will be a huge blow
    to Kazakhstan's economy.
    It seems that this time Russia is going to teach Kazakhstan a big
    lesson.
    But Russia's purpose does not stop there, Putin is a trick to kill three birds with one stone
    .

    Kazakhstan's inability to transport oil will undoubtedly push up international oil prices
    again.
    This is not good news
    for Europe, which is already facing an energy crisis.
    Now many people in Europe do not want the government to impose sanctions on Russia anymore, after all, this is a suicide sanction
    for Europe.
    Many people at the bottom of Europe can no longer afford soaring energy costs, coupled with the food crisis and soaring inflation, if international oil prices rise again, Europeans will really not be able to live
    .
    During this time, Europe has been planning to sanction Russian energy, looking at the current situation, under the huge pressure of the people, I am afraid that Europe will soon be soft
    on Russia.

    And for the United States, this is not good news
    .
    Although the United States is also a big exporter of energy, domestic capital will not lower prices
    .
    And most of the American oil companies are Republicans behind them, and naturally they will not work hard
    for Biden's policies.
    You know, Biden has been worrying
    about lowering oil prices all this time.
    Today, it seems that the price of oil in the United States cannot be lowered
    .
    Now Biden's approval rating has dropped again and again, and the Republican Party's continuous blows, it is estimated that the upcoming midterm election, Biden is unable to survive
    .
    It can be said that Putin's move directly gave the United States and the West a heavy blow
    .

    At the same time, Russia has taught Kazakhstan a big lesson
    .
    This will also serve as a warning to other countries, so that these countries do not dare to provoke Russia
    easily.
    And the rise in international oil prices is still good for Russia, which is already a major oil exporter
    .
    I have to say that Putin's trick is really good
    .
    This time, the United States and the West lost a lot
    .
