Mostly peaceful?so putin said it was a peace keeping mission targeting military targets only.... now civilian apartments and houses are getting light up
Notwithstanding the woke weakness in the Western military, I doubt that very much.Russia & China combined would wipe us all out in 24hrs imo
Replying : Especially after exile, Dostoyevsky increasingly thought of human life as an eternal struggle between spiritual and material in his grand themes, with Europe embodying the latter while the ascetic Orthodox and obdurate peasant/ serf claiming the former.This one? It struck a chord with me many years ago.
Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
Which is complete hubris, and reflected the separation between the Westward looking elites (Catherine the Great; "We are a European nation") to the peasantry and soon-to-be lumpenproletariat."We possess the genius of all the peoples and also have our own; thus can understand you and you cannot understand us" - Fyodor Mikhailovich to a French author.
"The most basic spiritual need of the Russian people is the been for suffering, everywhere and in everything. I think the Russian people have been infused with this need since time immemorial. .... There is always an element of suffering even in the happiness of the Russian people, and without it their happiness is incomplete." - Dostoyevsky
Yup—and Putin knows this is his upper hand. This is no doubt showing who is the true global super power and it ain’t the US anymoremilitary action not an option either as Russia & China combined would wipe us all out in 24hrs imo
What I meant was that if Russian oil and gas gets blocked from entering the EU for example, two things will happen.
1, Russia will be looking for other markets to off load there Oil and Gas.
2, The EU will be looking for other markets to source Oil and Gas.
At the moment China buys a lot of Gas from Australia and the USA, but people are suggesting that China might instead switch to Using Russian Gas.
Correct JohnDe,I am surprised that school didn't teach you the history basics. However that doesn't matter, there is a lot written about Stalin and his party's means of public and region control, also the factor that Germany was a common enemy and the hope that Stalin would would change his ways after the war, only for the allies to be fooled.
Servo near me current prices:Petrol is already $199.99 around the corner from me.
China is also quite happy to rip up long term contracts if they feel they no longer require your resource, look at their ban on Coal.What I'm thinking of however is the next move beyond that.
If you've got multiple suppliers tied up under long term contract then you've guaranteed your own physical supply ahead of anyone else, since the resource is off the open market as such, and to the extent you've got a surplus to re-sell you get to set the terms of that sale.
China doesn't buy the crop they buy the farm. They don't buy a ship load of gas they buy the resource still in the ground. Etc. They do it long term.
I'm seeing this whole thing as partly about the glory days of the USSR but also at least partly about natural resources, trading blocs and so on of which China is a very relevant but not the only party. If so well then those not in the bloc who want to buy those resources are going to have some issues, they'll be getting the leftovers only and can't assume the ability to obtain physical supply simply by paying the market price.
That applies to all relevant resources although gas and oil are very obvious examples.
That's thinking ahead, it's not a 2022 thing but I suspect the war's linked to it ultimately.
