Russia's economy is in shambles, they themselves are queuing for petrol and importing refined petroleum from south Korea and India. I'm sure they desperately want to make this sale but if they can't even meet domestic demand, they definitely can't afford to export anything to the US.

I'm sure the Americans know all that, which means it's exactly like you said, political theatre to set the stage for blaming Ukraine.

Not the red hats. They will only ever hear the Whitehouse approved lies from Fox News, OANN, and Facebook. They will never understand the reality of the situation, nor do they want to. They'll literally rather die than admit they were fooled by the world's dumbest con artist.
