First and foremost Ukraine is the largest rat money laundering op in history. We might see movement to end this mess after the election…maybe.
You guys do not understand.
There is no history.
Only on one occasion in the past did it become clear how oil and gas defined civilization. That is when FDR embargoed oil exports to Japan. Pearl Harbor derived from that. Japan has no oil. It had to come from Indonesia, and the US fleet could interdict.
We now have Russia overwhelming. Saudi Arabia has nearly no natural gas output. Download from the link above. That is why it is the bible of energy. It has everything (and btw, they publish June each year so the new release is pending) country by country. Saudis have 297 billion barrels of oil reserves, but only 6 Trillion cubic meters of gas. Russia is overwhelming with 37 Trillion cubic meters of gas and 110 billion barrels oil.
Nothing Else Matters. It is civilization’s lifeblood. It will run short for everyone else, but not for them. There has never been a time when such inescapable dominance existed. Putin has been quoted back in the 2010s. He has given speeches at Rosneft and GAZPROM. HE KNOWS. He knows it is inevitable — provided they hold onto it and not tolerate threats to it.
Forget morality and ethics. Oil and Gas are everything and this is the wrong enemy to have for 20 yrs from now.
