(1) Make friends when can, and not once have to
(1-i) Fareed is wrong, in that it not is in Saudi interest to see oil price down out to see the flame go out once atomic, solar, and wind and and and fully rolled out
(1-ii) Fareed is also wrong, in that energy needs of EU shall absolutely pulverise any fiction of EU / Nato unity for a fight that in truth is not the fight of the electorates, and we are months away from the day cold showers become not an option
(1-iii) Lt Gen Mark is wrong, because Team Russia shall target industrial infrastructure of the Ukraines next, such that counter-artillery fire is silenced and tanks do not roll
(1-iv) Bottom line, with oil prices high, and Fareed is correct, and revenue flowing, time is on Team Russia's side
(1-v) Unclear to me what advantage there be to Team USA to maintain the fight without fighting, because Fareed is wrong, nations all around the planet is doubting more than ever, historically speaking, about the veracity and the efficacy of Team USA security guarantee. Without boots on the ground, the guarantee is not really operational except for being a trap with rug-pull underlying the construct, and
(1-vi) Should Team USA actually put boots on the ground, would fall into same trap as Russia and Ukraine, to be rug-pulled by Germany and France.
(1-vii) I do not see a win for anyone engaged in the trap.
(2) Noam might be correct that
(2-i) USA today is not USA 1950s
(2-ii) Nato is done, peaked
(2-iii) If not, done, by destruction
(2-iii) If not, planet done done
(3) Ukraine got rug-pulled, and USA cannot do much, unless call and raise, in which case events turn interesting |
