I'm still laughing comrade signym.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has blasted European countries for blocking his plane from travelling through their airspace, forcing him to cancel a diplomatic trip to Serbia. Bulgaria, Macedonia and Montenegro refused a request from Moscow for the flight to pass through, because of sanctions imposed over Russia's military action in Ukraine.

I personally think the EU is going to fracture over this in 7 years, and that the Green Party - and other rabidly pro-war parties- are going to suffer permanent defeat, never to rise again.

The war in Ukraine could eventually help save the planet

Tom Friedman writes:

If we have a year or two of astronomical gasoline and heating oil prices because of the Ukraine war, “you are going to see a massive shift in investment by mutual funds and industry into electric vehicles, grid enhancements, transmission lines and long-duration storage that could tip the whole market away from reliance on fossil fuels toward renewables,” said Tom Burke, director of E3G, Third Generation Environmentalism, the climate research group. “The Ukraine war is already forcing every country and company to dramatically advance their plans for decarbonization.”

Indeed, a report published last week by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air, and Ember, a global energy think tank based in Britain, found that 19 out of the 27 E.U. states “have significantly stepped up their ambition in terms of renewable energy deployment since 2019, while decreasing planned 2030 fossil fuel generation to shield themselves from geopolitical threats.”

A recent article in McKinsey Quarterly noted: “The 19th century’s naval wars accelerated a shift from wind- to coal-powered vessels. World War I brought about a shift from coal to oil. World War II introduced nuclear energy as a major power source. In each of these cases, wartime innovations flowed directly to the civilian economy and ushered in a new era. The war in Ukraine is different in that it is not prompting the energy innovation itself but making the need for it clearer. Still, the potential impact could be equally transformative.”

Throughout U.S. history, our nation has oscillated between two broad approaches to foreign policy, Michael Mandelbaum explained in an interview, echoing a key theme in his book: “One emphasizes power, national interest and security and is associated with Theodore Roosevelt. The other stresses the promotion of American values and is identified with Woodrow Wilson.”

While these two world views were often in competition, that was not always the case. And when a foreign policy challenge came along that was in harmony with both our interests and our values, it hit the sweet spot and could command broad, deep and lasting public support.

“This happened in World War II and the Cold War,” Mandelbaum noted, “and it appears to be happening again with Ukraine.”

CORRECTION: The fake war in Ukraine will see you paying $2 per kWh in the near future in whatever alternate timelines that the Democrats actually win in November.

Oh, interesting! It's an awkward trade route - truck>train>ship>truck/train- OTOH, all product shipped from China have that same problem, so it's obviously not impossible,

Atho Russia is suffering from sanctions, global fuel and fertilizer trade is suffering even more, and the EU and Britain are suffering the most. Russia is self-sufficient in food and fuel, and in many manufactured goods (and it can always purcahse from China, India, or Turkey). Much of the EU and Britain, OTOH, are desperately dependent on imported energy and food.

Fuck Ukraine.

Meanwhile, dummy idiot Ted doesn't realize that while Russia ISN'T selling its oil reserves, it's being propped up to be the last country on the planet with oil. That's what happens when nobody is buying it.

Want to venture a guess at what happens then?

Stop playing checkers and start playing Chess, Dummy.
