@OrlyTaitzESQ@GBC_Press I’d rather pay Iran a small fee to use the strait if that’s what it takes to settle the mess trump started. Most people never had issues with Iran in the first place and now our economies are fucked and we are getting poorer so stfu you ignorant idiot
@14655116677A @thestrathotwash @Bitcoin_Teddy Then what was the point of all the casualties incurred to expand us sphere of influence in WW2? The band of brothers and such
@Nadirikinci@ThePenguinBTC That’s smart. In the meantime China can continue expanding on non-fossil energy sources and one day be completely immune from these kinds of threats..
@saltytunafish1@biancoresearch We should all ditch the US and side with China who is much more reasonable these days if you that’s all you think of your allies.. many countries are facing an existential crisis because of this and if you don’t give a damn why should we give a damn about you?
@biancoresearch On top of that the type of crude is different which means countries need to invest billions in refinery infrastructure and that’s not happening overnight. If the US wants to force others to buy their oil, they need to compensate for the damage and additional investment.
@KobeissiLetter Significant portion of oil/gas are from the Middle East but China has quietly and diligently set themselves up to be more resilient to these kinds of crisis than other Asian countries. If you go to China now it’s mostly EVs. They will stay standing while the rest fall..
@KobeissiLetter Headline may be correct but the implication is a bit overstated. Oil makes up roughly 19% of total energy consumption and gas 10%. Non-fossil fuel is 20% and increasing due to strategic investment in renewable/nuclear/EV. 50% is coal but largely sourced domestically.
@Amockx2022 Not only that. He’s demonstrating to China that F35s and “top of the line” US military tech isn’t as powerful as people thought. China is quietly studying all of America’s weaknesses while the US still arrogantly underestimates China
@clashreport F’n greedy bastards don’t care how many countries are suffering as long as they get rich and influence over global economy.. poorer countries are hit the hardest so far some of them in states of emergencies.. and what trouble have they ever caused you?
