China does not have to be in a war to be a superpower imo. The resources they have or are securing. 1.4B people in the country. A massive army, nukes. clearly they are a super power.
Having said all that, fcuk Putin.
Hello,
It was an article I saw a couple of days ago and they mentioned a few times on twitter. A snippet from 3 days ago:
‘ Biden on Thursday ordered the Defense Department to consider at least five metals — lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel and manganese — as essential to national security under the Defense Production Act. This is because they are required to make the batteries used in clean energy technology, and the U.S. largely relies on other nations for the mining and processing of these metals.
Under the order, the Pentagon will be authorized to use Defense Production Act funds to inject capital into a host of mining business activities. Those activities include paying for feasibility studies to determine the economic viability of a proposed mine, or to finance “co-product and byproduct production,” a term used to describe the process of taking valuable materials from a mine that typically yields other minerals. For example, a copper mine that could also produce nickel.’
Although it’s going to be difficult, perhaps weaning off something is good to find an alternative you can sustain independently.
Russia played a blinder? again your pov. For me putin has put Russia back economically in the dark ages and is trying to save face……he can’t afford this war to go on for many more months. Given time Europe, many others are starting to wean themselves off fossil fuels, that’s inevitable.
. We will agree to disagree I’m sure. :-)
Up yours putin, I stand with Ukraine.
I saw that Liz Truss said UK sanctions on Russia would cease if Russia pulled back. For me, even if they do pull back and all is resolved, sanctions should remain indefinitely or a couple of years. It will take years for Ukraine to rebuild back property, economically etc.
Some may not like what I say there but if we did pull back sanction/ upon a resolution, for me putin will think “great”, slap on the wrist, who else can we invade.
Bye seasick, come on get out of this stock, clearly it’s affecting you mentally. Stick to a blue chip, or even better put it in a savings account.
What I’m really saying is that all this volatility is not good for your mental health which is very important.
No one will think negative if you sold up, go on, sell up.
All the best.
Everyone else, Gla!
And up yours putin
