This led to the war in Crimea and the current Russia special operations in the Ukraine. No disputing that….. In the beginning when it was thought Russia would win the war in a few weeks….Ukraine wasn’t going to get any help from world leaders just sanctions and admonishments….now it’s all changed, changed utterly…Ukraine has become a cause celebrè in the world now, and it’s looking like Putin is fecked…..unless he goes the nuclear option….it will be interesting to see what China and India views are on that if it happens….

There’s a reason for this, Saudi exports around a quarter of the worlds crude oil, but has little or no refining capacity, so re- imports some of the refined crude oil it exports , which it uses internally and also exports. Its allways struck me as crazy, why not use some of their mega wealth to increase refining capacity ? I can’t answer that as it’s way, way above my understanding of economics and international relationships. Saudi is buying a lot more Russian refined products right now, and there’s a reason for that, also….. it a lot cheaper ! Pure economics, not political, although the Americans aren’t to happy about it ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When the new regime took over in Ukraine it was written into there new constitution that there intension was join the EU and Ultimately NATO, Because it's the sane choice? Overall Russia is a very poor country. They are losing revenue from oil and gas. They are losing young men that they can't afford to lose. (Based on their declining demographic.) To top it off it's likely when they do take Ukraine it's going to get worse for their young men. Because that's when you lads get involved. Paulus you complain about corruption, and no one would deny it exist. But there are crooks in every walk of life. In my opinion, if we all have made one mistake in the dealings with Russia. It's not having this war in 1983. The old Soviets were bad. But at least they were sane. Edited April 24, 2023 by Mickey Finn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,299 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Twice last century, the west made the wrong decisions; Patton wanted to defeat the Soviets at the end of WW2 when he had al the forces in theatre. MacArthur wanted to nuke the Chinese during the Korean war. Both requests blocked by politicians. Just my opinion, of course. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
