Well there already isn't enough oil and gas as it is to keep up at the growing pace we are setting. So maybe it can be avoided for some time...but how much time? And call the whole whatever they don't sell just gains value as less and less is available. Unless some tech comes out and revolutionizes the world energy situation they are in a position that they will always have customers and if that large of a chunk of fuel its all of a sudden off the market there isn't any making up for it...prices just go up to reflect supply vs demand...which in turn makes more money for them as again...it will be sold somewhere...there already isn't enough.

This is because OPEC won't pump more gas.

I don't know why people don't understand this.

They aren't pumping the wells, so everyone pays.

Most have heard how the USA is working on a new nuclear deal with Iran and using Russia to do the negotiations ...Hopefully if a deal is reached it will not include suitcases full of money like last time ! On the other side we have Saudi Arabia who is pissed off at America for trying to do a deal with Iran.

Both Saudi and Israel have a strong fear of an nuclear armed Iran due to some of the things the regime has said in the past, like, "I will kill you and wipe you from the map" sort of stuff... Which sounds like fighting words to me...

Saudi is not happy with Biden and his administration and also likes high prices for a barrel of oil so Biden's request for more oil output goes unheeded... youtu.be...

Not a single microchip in the world can be produced without the Russian inert gas neon and without Russian artificial sapphires for the substrate.

The problem with this line of thinking is that it doesn't learn from history and it borders on megalomania. If Russia and its resources disappeared from the earth today, humans would adapt and innovate as they always have. Cutting off inert gas and artificial sapphires will be an inconvenience and drive up prices in the short term, but in the long run, you may find yourself without customers for your products.

LOL, 'propaganda'. It's called comedy, comrade, those guys make fun of everybody.

I want to tell you one story. During World War II, a simple Serbian peasant family rescued and hid a little Jewish girl, Marie Jana Korbelová, from the Nazis. The girl survived, and the Serbian family, sheltering her, risked the life of their entire family. There were thousands of such cases. Then this girl, with the help of international Jewish organizations, was transported to America, grew up and turned into US Secretary of State Madeleine Korbel Albright.
How did she repay the Serbian people? Massive and barbarous bombardments, including with the use of banned uranium and phosphorus munitions, of Yugoslavia, which is why tens of thousands of Serbs are now dying of cancer.
How do you think, how the Serbs, and other peoples, who have their own history of "love" of the West for them, will relate to the West after such cases. Let at least a thousand Victoria Nuland come to them with thousands of bags of cookies, the peoples will remember everything. You have no moral right to speak on behalf of other nations. Because in reality, they hate you.

the West will have problems in the aircraft industry,

I think you have got that arse about face.

Russian airlines could start running into problems “within months” if they’re not able to replace them, adding that even the Sukhoi Superjet relies on parts from foreign manufacturers.

www.politico.eu...

I am satisfied with the level of your tolerance, politeness, democracy, as well as the level of your hysteria))))

To be honest i don't care a toss.

Production had already begun shifting to China and now that Putin is bumbling around in Ukraine it will only exacerbate the migration of production.

Albright was connected to the hip like a parrot with the Clintons lmao

Bombed Serbia for 78 days? Supported al qaeda Muslim extremist connected cells in Kosovo and Bosnia.

Shocker lol

Careful Russia !!!

The West wants your oil and gas profits and will destroy your government and install a puppet system !!! 🚬☠️

Yeah Stalin wasn’t an angel. Helped beat Hitler though

Do you mean after he was Hitler's big mate during the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland,Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania during WWII ?

People have very short memories Mr RT one hundred years ago Ukraine was going through the Holmador the pictures from that time of people selling human body parts from their front porches and the dead look in their eyes stays with you for a while .

As I told you in another thread a while ago the man who raised me run ammunition and stuff to the USSR when they had the biggest military in the world
Bigger than the other 9 put together .

While General chi Hoating may be talking about taking back American land that was once possessed by China but the 170 million in Russia better keep a eye on Siberia and it's resources or they will vanish like Tartaria from the map I would suggest playing the 1812 overture while reading this post

Never trust friends who boil dogs alive Mr RT now Mr Putin has boxed himself into a corner or has he is he himself playing a game of louring in the daftys to start a fight while the big hitter awaits it's entrance to the world's stage and with 3/4 of the world's factory output on its shores a war between the factories would be a quick one .

The old joke of America spending years and millions of dollars getting a pen that would write in space while the Russians shrugged their shoulders and carried on using a pencil is not lost on some people especially when a 1960s Soviet era radar was used against the latest Boeing F35 and lit it up like a Christmas tree.

But is Putin really Putin ??? Maybe his ex wife got sick of living with his double .

Ps I did get the zombie joke from a now deleted thread a while back

I used to think the pen thing was silly...then a very smart man wisened me up to the reason why that pen development was so important. You see them graphite in pencils conducts electricity and when you have them around tiny shavings and dust from the graphite gets left around...this dust can cause shorts in vital electrical systems which could spell doom for those aboard.

Anyway though you might appreciate that as I know I did...

I think its very soviet style that they stuck with the pencil. For them it was easier to lose cosmonauts than the time and money for a pen. I really wish we could get a real answer about those intercepted transmissions those italian dudes heard of a cosmonaut literally calling out for help as he drifted out into space...

Now that the Bank for International Settlements (aka the B.I.S.) has cancelled Russia, how long before the Russian government collapses ? 🤓🚬


Zourze:--> Russia Suspended From Bank for International Settlements

The Bank for International Settlements, known as the central bank for central banks, has suspended Russia from using its services following Western sanctions.

The move will prevent Russia’s central bank from accessing banking services at the Basel, Switzerland-based institution. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. and European Union blocked Russia’s central bank from utilizing about 40% of its $630 billion reserves.

Russia did not freeze assets of countries, they froze assets of investors, you know, the people who pump money into Russia.

Makes me wonder is this why the crypto market is getting a bump?
