Why do Iran and Russia need to export oil and gas in the first place? I thought they are decently developed countries with diversified industries and advanced technological base.

Was it sheer Iranian and Russian propaganda then? What else would explain the extreme reliance on hydrocarbon exports for these two countries?

Decently developed US is a net exporter of oil in 2020 and 2021 and expects to export more in 2022 to 2023.
UAE is more developed than Iran and still exports oil.
What propaganda?

Well, we're seeing very significant headline increases in terms of German military spending.
If you only take France and Germany together, they can make up for anything the UK can contribute.

I already said this before. But you cannot just increase your military budget many times over like Germany did and and get your own products after decades of low or no activity. What you will see is Germany buying old refurbished US military equipment. It won't help Germany or Europe's MIC much at all. They are already buying the US AH-64 and F-35 and Israeli missile defense systems. God knows what else.
This isn't independence. And the whole German political system is compromised and mined by US intelligence from within.

Well, that's going to cause a lot of headaches for Musk/Tesla given the way he's doing about this mandatory attendance back into the office thing. I can only imagine that some individuals at Tesla would not be taking this demand/order too lightly.

The irony is if everyone else is buying oil on the cheap from Russia, it's the Europeans that are funding Russia's end of the Ukraine war the most.

Well, if Ukraine were to somehow win, and Russia collapse, the American cage for Europe would become stronger! :D

Why didn't tidalwave try to make himself a pretty girl? I wonder.
You know, "she" might just be a neckbeard typing from a basement somewhere.

Iranians had a net positive opinion toward USA and a net negative opinion toward China? Very strange after they got economy embargo from EU and USA.
