“If Russia was producing oxygen, the EU would be stupid enough to ban that as well.”
Yes, it’s a new level of cutting one’s nose to spite the face, we can only call suicide!
The West seems convinced it can OUTLIVE Russia (and soon China to be added) in a poker challenge of universal poverty!
But the mere 0.78 billion strong consumer market doesn’t have the clout it seems to imagine, to take on the world’s primary producers and exporters of the planet’s multiple precious resources.
Meanwhile, the West’s presumed enemies have formed their own union of survival and prosperity to counter this stupid suicidal game.
America keeps doubling down on its losses on the poker table and the EU follows faithfully behind, so assuming there’s no nuclear fallout whatsoever…, I give the West ONE year starting from last month, to completely collapse.
My theory is that a big consumer can never take on the big manufacturer and win, because manufacturers can always replace you with other consumers but...
you will have cut yourself OUT of the BIG market that can guarantee BIG volumes at BIG discounts
...so now you will have to scrape up what little you can find from much smaller manufacturers at much higher prices, which can only result in an ever worsening nightmare of mass scarcity on multiple fronts, for you.
Coal, Gas, Oil, Gold, Silver, Palladium, Platinum, Diamonds, Wheat… the list just goes on and on of scarce expensive products that will be wreaking havoc in ALL your industries.
For nobody in their right mind would want to make Russia and China (the BIG factories) their enemy.
