Why the downvote though. What i said its true, do your checks. If russia stops producing, yes international price will increase but russia will be in even a bigger hole that they are now. Also did you knew they cannot stop production for siberian oil? If not and you learned something from that post, why the downvote?

Why would india buy at normal price? They'll buy it even cheaper than the price cap. Russia cannot stop the oil coming from Siberia as they cannot restart it, if they stop it. Everything will freeze and will become a thick gel. It took western companies nearly 30 years to restart production after they stopped it in the 90s.

Its not sure what they include in the european side. Current european union+/- few countries, whole european continent?

If its continent including Russia, yes its about the same size, however i don't think it includes Russia, as in Russia and former soviet republics the distance between the tracks is wider than the rest of the Europe, probably similar to US. And btw, i kinda think distance between tracks is narrower in europe on purpose, so that Russian trains cannot use the european rails to transport heavy weapons, and viceversa.

If its only European Union, then Europe its also half the size of US.

The rest remains valid, although the narrow lines also support a lot of weight, and rail freight is certainly feasible and prefered to road freight.
