China, is enabling Putin…

[furrowtickler]

Russia just released a 43 page long list of export restrictions …

That China and India to a lesser extent are backing up Putin…

We are headed for Supply chain disruptions that will make the Pandemic look like a walk in the park.

Climate Change is a western civilization invention… therefore 2/3rds of the world’s population could care less about this woke existential threat that means virtually nothing to them.

You and Hemlock are both right ... Russia setting up to supply 1/2 the world’s population with energy and grains outside the US Dollar .
Here in North America the dithering woke climate change puppets ready to destroy the middle class for the change of oil dollar supply to green energy to save a few penguins they think .
North America should have nothing to do with the WEF / UN vision of the great reset and 2030 . But new leadership is badly needed to change the direction of Canada and the US .
To watch Biden go grovel to Venezuelan government for oil speaks volumes .

A lot of the gains in Russian oil production came from the help of western oil companies like Esso shell and Canadian know how. With the likes of these majors pulling the pin there and Russia nationalizing production there will be a gradual decline in production. Talk to anyone who has been over there will open your eyes to the challenges they face extracting oil. Their cost of production on cold wells is comparable if not more in some cases compared to Western Canada. Some cases transpiration distances to market is insane. To go to China would be worse. Same as any grains overland to China is no easy feat. Shipping grain to the coast here is nothing compared to that.

Pipelines and oil by rail to China don’t happen fast… so China is a year or two away from a major shift in consuming Russian oil and gas… most likely.

An all out economic war… is going to be disruptive to everyone… China got away with the Pandemic Scott free… will be interesting to see if the Chinese pull a fast one on Russia too…

You very well could not be far off, however right or wrong I think the decision was made. Only time will tell to see if it will be a disaster like you say it could potentially be or the beginnings of a new global power as we know it.

Ten years is a long time for individuals.
I've seen with my own eyes what can be built by China in that time or less. The center of the world is no longer in NA.
Our highly individualistic culture here will be our decline in this environment.
We will see a RU CH IN trading bloc increase in volume. And a lessening influence and volume of open outcry markets.
Affordable energy to the masses will prevail as key regardless of type.
Putin's reign will depend on his grip and life span.
Maybe we should invade Venezuela.
PS. Someone should muzzle JT.
Telling people getting shot at he admires their democratic values. Puked in my mouth.
If we were dead serious about saving Ukraine as we know it, we'd have a no fly zone. Instead we have a no balls condition. Good bye Ukraine as a sovereign state. Talk is cheap.

I agree, truly our family is disturbed by the lack of compassion that the western world has for the humanity in Ukraine.

Putin obviously has no operating moral consciousness for humanity, nor do his Generals or the Chinese leadership.
