Posts: 4832Yeah, but the reason for that is energy. With China cutting off exports of refined products, nations like Australia are scrambling, https://ieefa.org/resources/its-time...its-oil-demand

That is what the climate change nuts have wrought. They moved refining capacity from Australia and California to China and then brag about China being an electrostate while patting themselves on the bad for cleaning up the local environment. Those chickens are coming home to roost now.
Europe has always wanted a gas pipeline through Syria from the Persian Gulf countries, and that is why Russia had been fighting there, to stop those projected natural gas pipelines.
It is just amazing what the climate change nuts have done to Europe: https://www.decouple.media/p/europe-...sson-the-1970s
The European response to the OPEC embargo in 1973 was an impressive mobilization that moved decisively and pragmatically taking advantage of the unique conditions available throughout the bloc.
The results of this collective mobilization were visible by the mid-1990's in a set of numbers worth holding in mind. Europe consumed around 32 EJ of hydrocarbons annually and produced around 15 EJ domestically. Roughly 8 EJ of Russian oil and pipeline gas, operating under long-term contracts with a generally reliable delivery history, functioned as quasi-domestic supply despite transiting through the iron curtain. Effective external import dependence was around 30 percent of consumption.
Today the continent consumes roughly 38 EJ against only 6 EJ produced domestically, with Russian supply now largely severed and Russian LNG under a 2027 phase-out deadline. This represents an extraordinary inversion of insecure hydrocarbon import dependency form 30% in 1995 to 80% in 2026.
The gap between what Europe consumes and what it can produce has widened from something manageable to something genuinely precarious. End of link.
So now you know why so many nations have to meet with the head chopper.
It is pretty obvious to me that Trump is making moves in the energy market when he took out Maduro and is going after Iran. The race to "win" the AI battle is really a race to see who can generate the most electricity to supply data centers. On that front, Europe is a distant third and China is the clear #2.
With Trump talking about taking Iran's oil, I have to wonder if Russia felt that NATO was trying to do likewise with its oil and gas and felt the need to intervene once NATO was on its border. It sure seems like the Ukraine war, war on Iran, and "war" in Venezuela all have to do with energy.

Posts: 27098Peace for Orthodox Easter, but Putin loves so much to kill, when he was so frustrated to be nothing in KGB under CCCP.

Posts: 2560Peace?
Bloomberg's reporting that Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine's top negotiator with Russia, believes there will be peace before long. Here's the Bloomberg article, which may or may not be behind a paywall.

Posts: 27098Fortunately, EU, UK and some others don't follow Trump craziness and keep on helping Ukraine versus criminal Putin, when Trump stopped and is more interested to rob them, like Greenland. I really wish Iranians will be free in democracy one day, but I wish for Trump failure for this war for no reason for USA. USA under Trump are not anymore a real democracy, when he already fucked US constitution, when Zelensky is still president according to Ukrainian constitution.

Posts: 27098Why illegal? When not a dictator like criminal ex FSB and KGB Putin, and according to Ukrainian constitution, no election under war, so Putin just made him staying longer, when attacking Ukraine, when, out of corruption, Zelensky is fully legal according to constitution, at least till end of war. And, when only way to stop Putin is to make Russia broke, not anymore able to pay for war Putin started, but his crazy friend Trump with his war attacking Iran, gave money to Putin to keep on killing Ukrainian women and children. Putin, like Netanyahou are ranked war criminals and Trump should also be after killing more than 150 Iranian little girls at school, shame on USA and really no MAGA versus Iran, even I don t support at all mollahs and Islamists, but Trump had no other reason than supporting Netanyahou and trying to make problems to Chinese economics, but his total failure, when China and his friend Putin are behind Iran, helping them for war.

So did the failed comedian president of the United States, and he's even more comedic because he doesn't realize he's a clown while everyone else does.

Posts: 27098When big inflation in Russia, if Russia didn't have enough money anymore to pay for Putin war, then he couldn't keep on his own war, same than Netanyahou in Gaza. I wish Israel will get rid of their criminal and Russia will fall broke, with Russians waking up and eating their criminal dictator, when Russians would live so much better without him, when nobody never planned to attack Russia, just Putin bullshits for his war, dreaming to make again CCCP like when he was just nothing in KGB.

Posts: 539To all the cherry-pickers
I hope, after four years of (this phase of) the war, you'll come to realize how futile your efforts have been. Whether pro-Ukraine or anti-Ukraine, those who write the narratives and clickbait headlines have had you dancing to their tune.
I haven't posted in this forum for years, once I realized that allowing myself to get swept up with every wave and ripple was an exercise in futility. The real forces are tidal in nature, powerful yet nearly imperceptible. And, while I favor Ukraine and disfavor Russia, I don't have a crystal ball to tell me when or how matters will resolve. But one doesn't need a crystal ball to predict that the cherry-picking armchair analysts will continue making fools of themselves.
Slava Ukraini!

Posts: 27098Tomorrow will be 4 years of crimes of dictator Putin versus Ukraine who are courageous heroes to resist since so long and without heating in the cold, from Putin cruelty. This, after he already robbed Crimea and trained hard for criminal in FSB, killing so many to become what he is. I love Russia, so I can only hate Putin and when shameful Trump doesn't help Ukraine since 1 year, but Europe do, I really wish better times for Ukrainians. Best way to stop Putin is to take all Russia money, for reason of war criminal, when Trump would prefer to make business with Putin, he likes to support criminals like also Netanyahou.

Posts: 27098Good news: Russia economics is falling and big inflation with more poverty. Many are leaving Russia of Putin, so he needs immigration from Sri Lanka, India. And now, our world have proof criminal dictator Putin poisonned Navalny. I wish all this will help to make Putin stopping this war after 4 years to be so crual with Ukrainian population, even in cold winter. I really wish for Ukrainians, my first wish for this year, even before free riding fall then die I love and climbing legends I want also.

Posts: 27098Zelensky can't decide on his own for lands, but Ukrainian constitution, and Putin loves too much war, killing Russian meat since he was in KGB and FSB. Only way to stop this war is to take Russia money, to make them broke. Trump only playing bad stupid clown show, DT sucking criminal Putin since 1 year, to make business with him.

Posts: 1739Remember vampire or zombie movies where a severed hand drags on and clenches back onto a host? So we will attach the right shoulder back to body but the rotten severed right hand will remain unhealed unattached dead dragging and poisoning everything for long time. That is Ukraine. The outcome of the settlement will be seen only when time passes. The only natural long lasting natural and balancing solution is the unification. Everything else will lead to more war and more destruction ahead.

Posts: 2560Any hope for peace gentlemen, now that the two sides are talking face-to-face? Zelensky is saying this is just about the land now. If that's true, and unfortunately I doubt it is, it would seem they would be in striking distance of a settlement.
