If Team Persia is the huckleberry, has a way of unphucking everything, and team affiliating china with other back foots.

Afgan demands seem unreasonable, unwarranted...and as yet unfulfilled.

Seems interesting,,,,

I tend to think that the time lines for any such strategery are far too long to be relevant within the proper frame of reference in disposing of the issues dominating current events.

This has been done before, with energy wars and the shales... only last time the shales were still primarily a natural gas story, and a fuel alternative in substitution for oil... and for some reason, no one really seems to care about natural gas companies going broke... It's like different forms of energy have their unique fan bases... lovers and haters... except for nat gas... that has no fans, no real enemies... just no one cares...

Rodney Dangerfield gets more respect.

But, there was time a while back when every backyard in Colorado was going to make the property owners bazillionaires based on tight gas... and then a decade plus of every back yard in Colorado having a derelict drill rig rusting away...

The issue isn't energy... and it isn't the risks apparent in the financing of projects... it is the ability of lawyers to suspend the operation of time... somehow, in a process I don't understand at all, subverting the functions of physics with legalisms... only all the more if that suits... "them"... ? It might make the docket in... oh, I don't know... let's hold a hearing on that issue alone... in 2023...

I think that started with innovation in Texas... formerly of oil producing fame... as the industry decline began there... but my only evidence for that is in the Texas Attorney's Oath...

ATTORNEY’S OATH
I, _______________________________________________________
do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitutions of the United States,
and of this state; that I will honestly demean myself in the practice of law...

Having dealt with my share of attorneys in Texas, I always suspected as much... but I never knew they were actually obligated to make it a promise...

The SARS Cov2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome_coronavirus_2 ) flu epidemic is more a control of the masses by unscrupulous politicians, media that try to make as much money as they can the pharma industry and the sad end a venue of the control of the population by scare tactics, into submission.

As to the market there are two sides with two evolving events.

1. over-leveraged in equities and huge amounts of debt more than in 2008 to forcefully generate growth at all price and

2. a real economic war with contradicting interests between Russia that loses market share , Saudi Arabia and the US, with the EU moving fast to alternative energy resources like hydrogen including China not to the liking of the major hydrocarbon producers mentioned above

3. Related to the shale basin, Russia has the greatest shale deposit in the Bazhenov Formation or Bazhenov Shale is a geological stratum in the West Siberian basin. An estimate by Wood Mackenzie of the Bazhenov Formation puts oil in place at 2 trillion barrels (3.2×1011 cubic metres). In 2013, the Russian oil company Rosneft estimated recoverable reserves of 22 billion barrels (3.5×109 cubic metres) for the formation. en.wikipedia.org

4. In another vein connected to the hydrocarbon wars and corona virus which coverage is of hysterical proportion for the simple reason that it is all a cover up of the intense oil wars and the chances that the Russians will tap into the Bazhenov formation and extract hydrocarbons by "fracking" which in turn will hurt the US "fracking" industry.
