Ukraine - Russia Conflict

US wont be sharing power with any one. They want to stay as the almighty and control every thing. They are treating europe just like they would treat south korea or saudi arabia. While these minions think they have place at the dining table US is putting them on dining plate with others .
Look It is not in US interest to lose Economic/military/diplomatic hegemony to any other Country, I mean why Would any country be OK with that?
But Military Confllict is highly unlikely, even with china.

Like I have before, US definitely try to be Economic behemoth with exclusive access to cutting edge technology(not sharing/blocking these Technology with Competitor).
But Military Conflict won't happen, Even with china.

The US won't take you seriously if you don't have equivalent military power, Russia is case in point. They have low economic and political power.

BTW I don't see IRA was designed to hurt EU economy but to put Impetus for clean energy transition.

IRA gives domestic players subsidies in the energy sector that will make production cheaper, which means Europe will lose the entire US market due to the imbalance. Considering the EU bond market is going down the shitter, they can't face the double whammy of adding subsidies to the local industry too, especially while paying through the teeth for gas. And they have to now pay for additional military imports. From where? America.

Everybody in mid/high-end car production is now gonna make a beeline for America. Chip production was already happening.

The Americans are simply taking back what they think is theirs.

Complete agreement here.

MY point was Intention of legislating IRA act wasn't to hit EU economy, But was to move towards Clean energy.
BTW , Doesn't Policies Like IRA goes against WTO(free & fair market) principles?
Will EU file a lawsuit against US?

A lot of trade happens via unspoken rules. It's when these rules are broken that we see an adverse reaction, like what's happened.

The US is very likely following WTO rules. It's just that if they become selfish, then it's very difficult to compete with them. The USD is a weaker currency than the euro but has greater demand. So they can't compete with a weaker dollar already, never mind if American companies become even more cost competitive via tax breaks and subsidies.
 


Ze Germans had a term for this kind of war. It was called Sitzkrieg also known as the Phoney War. Ukraine themselves earn top dollar thru transit of gas in pipelines running in it's country even today & expects everyone else to stop importing from Russia, presumably so that it could command a premium vide transit fees of gas running thru it's own pipelines.

Another example of the Paddification of Europe , me thinks. Your views, Paddy? @BMD

Even the dog food here is less risky than your curries.
Yet, Indian curries continue to be the number one best seller & voted National dish in the UK for several yrs till date. Fun fact, most of these "Indian " Restaurants are owned & run by people of Bangladeshi & Pakistani origin. Alhamdulillah!! All halal food, in preparation & anticipation of what's to come Paddy.

Why not show the whole aircraft?
Yes, those videos you shared / have shared in the past were all so detailed, exhaustive & informative weren't they Paddy?

After this situation has persisted for a while they'll have no choice. The days of oil are numbered, better to cash in while you still can. In 10-15 years all cars sold in Europe will be EV or fuel cell/hydrogen.
Paddy, I hate to break this to you but with the industrial sector in your benighted nation in retreat since the Thatcherite era now dealt a death blow thru the triple whammy of Brexit & it's aftermath, the Wuhan Virus & it's aftermath , the Ukraine war & the US subsidies for industry, it's only matter of time before Industry collapses, the financial sector follows the industrial sector to greener pastures & you're reduced to a pre dominantly services oriented economy with agriculture recording spectacular growth.

I hope you realize what it means. Yes, more animal husbandry & dairy production. UK will get back it's environment once more & those rivers & dales would resemble those of the Hobbit Shires in the opening scenes of Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings : Fellowship of the Ring.

Do you know the implications of this? It means more cattle, more milk, more milk products like cheese, butter, cottage cheese & ........more dung - the raw material for energy.

Offer for tech to export & assemble mini bio gas plants still open along with dealer ship for all UK or at least it's present geography. One doesn't know till when the current contours of the UK will survive but your dealer ship will come with a 10 yr agree ment clause.

Time for you to derive inspiration & emulate Biden, Paddy now that your future as a defense contractor is clearly bleak. A great fortune awaits you. Grab the opportunity. There's money in scat - your favorite subject in the whole wide world . That should be your motto.

You're posting more... good. Did the other messageboard you went off to kick you out already? Well they are A-holes for doing that they just don't understand you like I do and what your needs are. Welcome back hopefully you can control your tantrums and stay. 😘
 

Dec 6 (Reuters) - A drone has struck an airfield in the Russian region of Kursk bordering Ukraine, setting fire to an oil storage tank, the regional governor said on Tuesday.

Other message boards? And who'd put food on the table & pay the bills? You or your pop? You think everyone leads your kind of life? Working 7/11 for 16 of the 24 hrs in a day , supplementing your meagre earnings thru pilferage, under an abusive east Indian boss who clearly owns your a r s e.

Your only source of entertainment & self worth coming from the dozen forums you participate in wherein you have to be the center of everyone's attention for which you perform such weird flex so as to kiss your own unwashed stinky "hairless" culo in practically every post you make?

There is already serious argument brewing in EU over subsidies. Much touted open market policies of west is coming to an inglorious end, they are just doing what developing countries do protect their industries.
