ExxonMobil More Powerful than US Government

Exxon's Russia ties still strong amid crisis

Exxon, with a reported $44.8 billion in profits, ranked No. 2 in last year’s Fortune 500 list of U.S. companies.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to consider a Ukrainian aid and sanctions package Wednesday, but the scope of the sanctions was unclear as of Tuesday evening. The House passed a narrower bill last week to provide loan guarantees to the new Ukrainian government, and the White House released an executive order last week that lays the groundwork for visa restrictions and sanctions targeting Ukrainian and Russian nationals who are deemed responsible for the crisis.

Asked if the U.S. is open to pursuing sanctions that would restrict American companies from doing business in Russia, a senior administration official offered few details Tuesday night. “As we have said, we are prepared to consider further measures if necessary, but we don’t have any additional steps to announce today,” the official said. “Generally speaking, we carefully assess numerous factors before expanding U.S. sanctions, including the impact on the U.S. economy and U.S. companies.”

So far, none of the measures being publicly discussed would pose a major threat to Exxon’s operations in Russia. Leaders in the U.S. have given no indications that they are willing to impose sanctions on Russia comparable to those they have imposed for countries like Iran, which prohibit doing business with a hostile regime.

Look at search results in Google UK for “exxon blocked gas drilling”

To get the oil and gas from ExxonMobils deals with Russia the Kremlin needed to get Croatia and a large swat of the Ukraine, that’s exactly what they are doing rather then the Ukraine getting anything. They need it for land transport from Russia to Croatia and they also want Ukraines Coal. People say Putin does not have a plan are totally full of Shitt and are more propagandists then news media.
