January's looking rough for India's Russian crude flows—Washington's turning up the heat. But here's the thing: this dip won't last.

You've got fresh intermediaries stepping in, ghost tankers changing flags, and discounted barrels that always find buyers. The supply chain adapts faster than sanctions can keep up.

How many times have we seen this playbook... As soon as the US applies pressure, middlemen jump in, ghost tankers change flags and keep running, and there are always buyers for cheap goods. Sanctions can never keep up with the supply chain's response.

Ghost tankers change flags, middlemen use new tricks—this combination move is even faster than the sanctions response.

Hmm... this line of reasoning sounds familiar. Every time they say "we'll adapt quickly," but what happens in the end? They still end up raising the prices.

nah look, the real exploit vector here is thinking sanctions actually *work* lol. ghost tankers, shell intermediaries... classic obfuscation pattern. seen this playbook 47 times already. DYOR on the actual flow routes though—surface-level analysis will get you rekt.

A ghost tanker just changes its flag and it's considered a new game—who wouldn't know this trick... Do they really think the regulators are pushovers?

Ghost tankers changing flags? This trick is as old as time, but the tactics keep evolving.

Damn, they've really mastered these evasive tactics. The US sanctions just can't keep up.

Ghost tankers changing flags and intermediaries creating complex layers—these tricks have been overused for a long time. No matter how hard the US tries, it just can't keep up.
