DEUTSCHLAND UBER IDIOTISCH
Germany simply cannot survive without Russian oil and gas. Their cost of energy is more than doubling on LNG. Oil is going sky high. Their industry cannot endure. Empire of Lies wins as it has all the oil and gas it needs - and so does Russia. Others - like Germany - collapse.
German collapse started with joining the ruthless attack on Russia - who had moved only to protect Russophones in Donbass from the shelling that had killed 14,000+ civilians. Russia is now converting to Stalin-style self-sufficiency - first achieved in 1938.
It’s extremely short-sighted to be guided by temporary advantages in costs - the logic of globalization. Nothing should be imported that you cannot make yourself. If Stalin had not moved to self-sufficiency - as Hitler himself pointed out - Germany would have destroyed Russia in 1941. Russia stopped Germany at the gates of Moscow with a massive counter-attack before any significant aid came from the West. The Wehrmacht was largely burned out.
Russia's short-term problem today was that until the first batch of sanctions post-Maidan it was relying on imports for products that it could make itself. From now on, oil and natural gas should be exported essentially to Asian clients and specially strategic partner China - which can supply Russia with the technologies it still does not master (but will, soon, as Putin stressed this week at the Eurasia Economic Forum).
Russia is now on the way to total self-reliance. This will be an essential part of the agenda of Eurasia economic integration. For its part, Euroland will die on the vine, as even dear-caught-in-the-headlights chancellor Scholz seems to - sort of - understand.
