This is really amazing.
I will always remember this Economist cover (the 2000 one)
Now just swap out the silhouette with the UK and put Liz Truss on

That is a good point.
Realistically ... what can China even do for France and Germany at this point?
China already gave France two really big Airbus orders.
China will deepen business relations with Germany, this trend is ongoing.
Marcon and Shotlz want a meeting with Xi on a state visit could be to reaffirm these deals, and maybe get more minor deals. The big deals already been made.
If they want to sell more stuff to China, then France and Germany can start with ASML.
China never mentioned anything about a Xi-Biden G20 meeting, just a bunch of western propaganda and Biden dreams. This is just saving face for Joe in case he doesn't get a meeting.

It is not just the decision of oil cuts it could have been done online or behind the scenes but OPEC+ chose to do that public meeting and also Europa has to open airspace for Russian minister to arrive at Vienna. for Arabs it is all about gesture to show for local consumption. They cannot lower image of US for domestic population by holding this meeting.
No one has voted to have permanent hold on member countries of OPEC+.

LOL, that's such a lame attempt at dramatizing a relatively simple game.
"Peace seems to be impossible."
Yeah no shit, that's how the AIs are programmed. Literally every single Civ 2 game degenerates into a slugfest.
"Because of the continual fighting, he was forced to abandon his democracy and adopt a communist state, because his Senate kept overruling him when he wanted to declare war. Also, his cities are filled with starving people (90% of his world’s population died from nuclear annihilation or famine from global warming) because, he says, he has to keep building war machines to sustain his combat efforts."
LOL, what a noob.
Democracy is the strongest end game government system in Civ 2, whatever the situation. It generates a ton of gold, allowing you to buy a ton of units. Who cares about declaring war? Just defend and mass up your forces until you can take out the enemy in one turn. I once wiped out the Sioux empire that had taken over the entire American continent in a single turn.
"Constant nuclear bombardment and sabotage have melted the world’s ice caps over and over again, resulting in the flooding of all terrain other than mountains. He said his world is full of swamp (which is useless for farming) and irradiated lands."
Again, total noob. You can use engineers to clean up pollution and change the terrain.
As we all know, Ukranians are totally averse to assassinations, for realsies!. Dugin's car bomb was actually swamp gas.
