India and other countries buy it and then sell it to us.

That's not what the first link reports.

 

The second link says an unknown amount, and yes any loophole should be closed to ensure we're not in some round-about way.

The US allows country of origins rebranding on all sorts of products. We sanctions countries and then just import their shit through other countries. 

So just fuck everything up for the entire world and doesnt have any impact or opposite impact on the intended party. Fucking brilliant!

The main reason we imported so much from Russia to begin with was logistics and quality of oil.   Easier to get Russian oil for west coast refiners and they aren't as readily able to refine the more "dirty" Canadian oil.   Guess who is benefiting from all the extra rail traffic of taking oil from other parts of the US to west coast refiners?   You guessed it.....Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.   Now not only does rail immensely benefit from no Keystone Pipeline they benefit from more rail movement of oil to the west coast. 

Rail strike could put some significant pressure on West Coast fuel supplies.

oh, I assumed ( obviously incorrectly ) that was one almost everyone had.

Guess it depends class A or B.   Class A is a bit pricey at $472K per share.  :lol:  

I'm not heavily in the market right now.
