They will get all their resources from BRICS. Its done. BRICS are setting up their own financial system to decouple from the US dollar. BRICS includes both Russia and India, with plenty of other countries now knocking at the door.
Just get it done! As long as it includes freedom of work and travel, I'm cool with it. Different FTAs will benefit different industries, it'll balance itself out I really miss those Euro adventures....although now might be bad timing.

Looks like we'll get sanctioned for that so send the 70% of the east coast's gas to the UK while we freeze, so they can onsend it to EU so they can be friends without sanctioning us, while we freeze.

And this makes Australia super-important to the West, as we can supply it in our own parallel system. Commodities producers going to be super important and surely this is dawning on those in White House, Brussels, London, etc

I'm convinced the best thing we could do for the climate on these forums is to use cleaner fuels (ie, less carbons in the chain, ie ethanol/methanol/biodiesel) within our already existing technology. The only thing he forgets to carbon-account for is the energy/Co2 required to produce the renewable generation, but otherwise, it's top notch, and the ICE/hybrid still has plenty of relevance.

I wonder if the US is even concerned that china is trying to get the yuan to become the worlds reserve currency, or will they continue sticking their heads in the sand while their no 1 superpower status evaporates right in front of their eyes. Too concerned with pronouns, abortion and jan 6. You know, the real important stuff. |

If you look closely there’s lots of loopholes in the embargo’s that let some slip through, there’s a lot of counterbalancing going on to prevent shortages in the wider community, giving India some oil supply from Russia helps them without massive sales worldwide. Quote:

PAH
Benzene's not friendly, ay. Much better to get the octane from ethanol (that said, my most recent tank was 98)
