BRICS Under Fire: UK & US Launch Coordinated Strike on Russia’s LNG Lifeline

Western powers tighten the screws as energy wars escalate.

The UK just joined the US in a financial pincer move against Russia’s liquefied natural gas exports—the latest salvo in the global energy cold war. Sanctions now threaten to freeze out one of Moscow’s last remaining cash pipelines.

Here’s why it matters:

- LNG accounts for nearly 30% of Russia’s energy export revenue (because apparently oil sanctions weren’t painful enough)

- The UK’s sudden participation signals broader G7 alignment (better late than never for London’s bureaucrats)

- BRICS nations now face mounting pressure as secondary sanctions loom (who needs SWIFT when you’ve got gold-backed crypto?)

The move comes as global energy markets flirt with record volatility. Traders are already pricing in supply shocks—because nothing stabilizes markets like coordinated government intervention.

One cynical take? This reeks of desperation from petrodollar defenders. When your financial weapons start looking dull, just swing harder.

BRICS Can No Longer Milk Russia’s LNG Oil at Cheaper Rates

India’s state-run refiners and privately-owned Reliance Industries are forced to procure oil from other nations. Most importantly, the US and the UK will stop the usage of local currencies in Russia’s LNG procurement. The BRICS members were paying local currencies for Russia’s LNG, sidestepping the US dollar.

In addition, BRICS members also saved billions in exchange rates while funding Russia’s LNG industry. It was a win-win situation for the alliance as they made use of the White House sanctions. TRUMP tightened the screws further, and all members agreed to stop purchasing Russian oil.

The BRICS alliance now fears further economic consequences through tariffs if it continues to procure Russia’s LNG. The US, UK, and the West are doing everything possible to stop Russia from further wreaking havoc on Ukraine.
