2026年第一个月，俄罗斯能源收入较去年同期下降一半，减少了3960亿卢布（-50.2%），也是2020年7月以来的最低水平。 1月份，俄罗斯石油和天然气收入为3933亿卢布（51亿美元），去年12月，这一数字为4478亿卢布（58.1亿美元）。 俄罗斯石油收入降低到2020年7月的水平，而2020年正是上个川普任内执政末期的疫情大流行期间，大流行期间整个世界经济遭 重创，需求减少，因而重创了国际油价，当时国际油价保持低位运行，是普京自2000年执掌俄罗斯大权之后罕见的低油价痛苦时 期，以至于俄罗斯人开始上街抗议养老金发放不出，这也是普京首次遭遇到的执政危机，而以往，都是欧洲买俄罗斯能源，买出 俄罗斯的繁荣发达，让莫斯科有了开疆拓土的野心和实力，而俄罗斯人穷则休养生息猫着忍者，富则开疆拓土的本性被普京总统 拿捏的死死的，因此趁机开启了对周边的劫掠入侵，从格鲁吉亚到克里米亚，一路胜利。 随着川普继续大规模推动美国传统能源的使用，不但大规模开采石油天然气，而且加大了对煤炭开采的力度，导致美国能源价格 一路走低，与此同时，和川普关系良好的中东国家也在努力增加产能配合，拉低能源价格，美国和印度达成的贸易协议，也让印 ...

最近特朗普与莫迪达成的那份贸易协议，看似是美印两国达成了某种握手言和，但仔细分析，印度似乎在这次协议中做出了不少让步，特别是莫迪，几乎被 特朗普逼迫着停购俄罗斯石油，并且在协议中承诺对美国进口商品的购买量增加了五倍。这种交易看似微不足道，但实际影响深远，值得我们深思。印度一 向自诩为世界药房，如今却不得不大幅增加美国商品进口，难免让人担心，这样的举措会不会导致印度本国工业遭遇冲击？而且，印度如何平衡美俄关系， 也变得愈加复杂。 协议的核心是关税双向减免，乍一听，似乎公平公正，双方都得到了好处。然而，细究之下，印度的承诺显然要大得多。根据协议，印 度必须在六个月内将美国的农产品和科技产品的关税下调30%到50%，而且非关税壁垒也要在一年内全部取消。与此同时，美国则立即取消了对印度加征的 25%的惩罚性关税，并将对等关税降至18%。表面上看起来是互惠互利，但印度显然是通过扩大进口来换取这一切。这种交易方式，怎么看都像是印度在割 肉给美国。特朗普在社交媒体上高调宣布美国大获全胜，然而莫迪却只是轻描淡写地表示感谢美国降税，却对其他承诺闭口不谈。这种态度的温差，似乎已 经透露出了某些问题的端倪。 说实话，印度在这次协议 ...
