@Noob
Guy from the BBC is probably talking out of his backside.. I guess Russia will take control of essential infrastructure or destroy it... No electricity, just about everything stops..even your car because the fuel station pumps are electric..
Here, issuing some form of work from order would reduce oil consumption, and allow stronger oil based sanctions.
We seen how much oil demand reduced during covid, gas well summer is coming..
but besides affecting us, the thing is if the west sanctions are too harsh on Russia then their arm could be twisted to push further west..
I think thats how Japan were drawn into WW2, oil embargo by the USA.. Japan had been taking advantage of the war taking what was of interest to them.. Then the US decided to put an end to their activities cutting of their oil imports, so after failed politics they attacked Pearl Harbour...
I was beginning to think the west got it wrong, :(
