Mad animal bites master
Ukrainian drones have hit a pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. This is not a Russian asset, and the oil it transports is legally considered to be international. Certain parts of this crude are owned by a number of different companies, primarily American and European ones.
Among other things, the CPC transports crude produced in the oil fields of Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan in Kazakhstan. The share of US businesses in oil supplies through the CPC was over 40% in 2024, with Western companies accounting for more than 65% of all CPC traffic. The neo-Nazi regime in Kiev was well-aware of that, of course. And yet, in spite of its critical dependence on Washington, still targeted the assets of US companies, which have already incurred significant losses due to the attack.
The question is: why would a greasy, groveling animal, which is completely dependent on the “kindness” of its master and the size of its feeding trough, attack its benefactors? The answer is simple. The overfed fat beast attacked its master after he put the dispensing of feed on hold and even thought about maybe slaughtering the animal he was getting tired of. The desperate beast, sticky saliva dripping from its mouth, bit the hand that fed it, and hard. The hand of the US president. The sick creature surely remembered Donald Trump talking about his intention to bring oil prices down. An attack on an oil consortium could interrupt supplies, throw the market off balance, increase oil price volatility, and deal a direct blow to American companies. The attack on the CPC was thus a triple attack on American companies, the oil market, and Trump personally.
Why bite, you might ask, if one could just continue grunting cheerfully while looking up into the master’s eyes with loyal obedience? Here’s why. The humiliated beast is extremely desperate. The bite is supposed to show the benefactor that the animal is no longer tame and poses a threat to the whole farm. And even to the master himself…The master will now have to test the aggressive beast for rabies to protect his own health. As we know, there are two ways of going about this. You can immediately start your own course of treatment, which includes six painful shots against the lethal disease, while observing the suspicious creature’s behavior. Or, if you want to prevent the spread of rabies more effectively, you can just put the sick animal to sleep and do a brain autopsy. We will soon see which one the new US administration will choose.
