TJ you got to be careful with the view of Luke as he knows very little about energy markets and Russia and the internal politics.

For better or worse a strong shake-up will come but I do not see that the US will lose its commanding position.

Russian energy supply was below its actual real cost in a very inefficient corrupt economy.

The main problem in so many countries is mismanagement, totalitarian regimes, and corruption.

The best example is Venezuela and Nigeria

IMHO the main factor of the current precarious situation is the human character of arrogance and desire for unlimited power and wealth.

Proven over thousands of years that wealth is achieved by cooperation and removal of the desire for power over others with the elimination of personal ego with the desire to be filthy rich.

After all, it does not bring true happiness and satisfaction; in the end, you simply die.

So my take is that wealth and power do not make you happy or satisfied as with what you achieved in life day by day.

The war in Ukraine demonstrates the hubris of what I mentioned before - funds that could have been allocated to better the lives of billions end up in ruins and unnecessary suffering with animosity for generations to come

The EU brought to its knees by the Straussians
by Thierry Meyssan
A US grouping, constituted around the thought of the philosopher Leo Strauss, controls from now on both the Secretariat of Defense and the Secretariat of State. After having organized many wars since those of Yugoslavia, they imagined the one in Ukraine. It is now manipulating the European Union and is preparing to deprive it of energy sources. If European leaders do not open their eyes, their alliance with Washington will lead to the collapse of the Union’s economy. There is no point in believing that Europeans will be spared because they are developed. The Straussians wrote, as early as 1992, that they would not hesitate to destroy Germany and the EU.
