I PREDICT A RIOT: Europe could see REVOLUTION if energy prices aren’t brought UNDER CONTROL says Czech Justice Minister Pavel Blazek in FOREBODING warning to EU states, as he DECRIES lack of SOLUTIONS on table in Czech Republic and across Europe to avoid SUBJECTING citizens to MISERABLE (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/3814) conditions (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/3763), with some countries already seeing PROTESTS like these Brits BURNING SKY-HIGH energy bills they REFUSE or simply CANNOT pay.
Come on man, the suffering is a small price to pay because of you know....Ukraine. Geesh
1. Fuels in Russia are going to be dirt cheap. Yea for Russian consumers and industry.
2. Energy and weapons are probably Russia's greatest exports. These are both radically reduced. Greatly reduced revenue coming into the country. Energy and manufacturing generally because of sanctions. Weapons because prospective customers see that their weapon systems are 2nd rate.
3. Starve Russia of exports and their industrial base is going to grind to a halt. They are being starved out by being cut off from western technology. Russia is not self sufficient. Things that break cannot be fixed. Goods cannot be produced to final form or repaired because critical imported components are no longer available to Russia.
My opinions…
i figure the short-term stopgap is huge subsidy payments on bills direct to utilities.
