Why does this sound so oddly familiar?

No problem, it's good to refresh this again.  Russia seems to have a more level-headed view about oil prices than many countries.

Russia has said for some time (years?) that they budget on $40 oil.

Yeah and apart from a few at the top for the rest it's been down hill recently. Health, education and so on have been cut back massively and even the armed forces are seeing cuts. They may say $40 but the reality is something else.

Well, it would be interesting to see what's in the $40 budget.  Point taken.

Seems perfectly rational to me that Putin and Trump had a discussion about oil prices.  Both are leaders of significant oil and gas producing countries.

Nov 15 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he had discussed the world oil market with U.S. President Donald Trump when both men were in Paris to mark the anniversary of the end of World War One.

Putin, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a regional conference in Singapore, also said that an oil price of around $70 per barrel would suit Russia, and that Moscow would continue cooperating with OPEC on global crude production levels.

I'd say that will depend on what their reaction to sanctions and other miscellaneous negativity is.  Could go either way at the moment.  Have to wait and see if they make threats or take positive actions.

We all know that 40 a barrel is not a lucrative position for oil, no one can get it out of the ground at that price and make a decent profit. But the Russians have a long history of saying stupid things like that to look tough. I wonder if the Saudis really understand what would happen if the US left the ME and the Russians moved in to "safeguard" them and their interests. The Russians do what the Russians want....

They have too much oil production right now is why the prices are dropping and OPEC wants to cut production to keep the prices higher.
