re read your posts. you mentioned OPEC is independent from West.
only US could create boom bust cycles in energy in 1970s.
I mentioned OPEC because you said dumb things about Western energy companies, their influence has waned long ago. The only energy-independent countries in the West are, once again, the US and Canada, both due to shale reserves that cost more to extract. Even Australia imports petroleum. Europe depends on both gas and petroleum from Russia & Middle East. OPEC has leverage and already utilized it in the past. Another example - the US tried to pressure OPEC to raise oil production in the last year and were told to
, OPEC is going to increase the quotas by measly 300k barrels per day after March, which will have only a marginal effect on oil prices. A further example, when the American shale oil producers started ramping up production in pre-2014 due to 5 years of high oil prices, the OPEC expanded production and created the
which made shale extraction unsustainable, leading to mass bankruptcies among American shale companies (most of them were small, unable to withstand long-term market fluctuations) and that's why you don't see another shale boom unfolding today despite a year of high oil prices - many investors got burned and don't want to invest into shale petroleum. This is actually a huge boon on Biden's power:
Again another irrelevant link to the "about us" page on the Saudi Aramco site.
Russia only independent full cycle energy system outside Germanic machinery system. even that Germanic machinery is manufactured in Russia. $3B is peanuts considering the size of market. it is for those extra Turkish/European/Asian contractors that got alot of contracts and used to that machinery.
You literally added zero to the conversation while writing those sentences other than inserting ™Germanic™ and giving another deepthroat to Russia.
is the construction done where the census done?
It does not even matter because they were not built in some faraway region, they were built in the densely populated European part of Russia which has 75% of its population and around large city centers. Qatar is building a city for the WC, the whole Olympic infrastructure was built for the PyeongChang Olympics and the county has a population of 40k. There is nothing impressive or unique. The fact that you have to go to these lengths to try and make mundane things sound impressive just shows how starved of facts you are. It is called "grasping for straws".
so you still not admitting Japan/Korea has monthly billions in trade deficits now? even Taiwan has billions of trade deficits with Germany. this assuming that shipping and air freight charges made there export economies uncompetitive and force them to invest overseas faster than they plan.
These tiny trade deficits are irrelevant, the only people who even care about trade deficits are dummies like Trump who don't understand how economics work. Germany has a
so?
These three countries can only can wish they had Russia quality GDP for the rest of coming life.
Lmao, what a fantastic way to cope - create an argument in your head, agree with yourself, and pretend that it is a fact. No, none of these three countries want to have 1% GDP growth of Russia with
being dependent on one sector of the economy which already tripped Russia in 2014 when it got slapped with sanctions and then oil glut happened.
I am sure you think $150K S class MB can create greater positive GDP than $10K Lada. I dont think you understand the engineering logic behind manufacturing Aurus luxury vehicles and Kamaz truck in same area. when i said competence it has very different meaning.
That's copium on full display again - while there's some truth to price differentials between the same items among countries but yeah S-class Mercedes has way better engineering than any Lada even if drop the price tags off. Next, again, you are not convincing anyone by throwing a bunch of mundane things and pretending that this is the shit. The Russian automotive industry at large is not competitive and Russians themselves choose other cars on the internal market -
.
its not about selling anything but collecting the price. all those weak countries will get treatment. The only BRI left safe will be what goes on Russian railway system. Turkey can bomb with 60 aircraft and Turkey can maintain A400.
No sources as usual. Turkey itself is a part of BRI and BRI does not only extend to the Middle East but also Africa and South-East Asia. Turkey has zero reach outside its neighborhood.
I am referring to a very different thing when i said Russia has culture and economic strength. Only Russia can send weopons to Serbia through Nato countries and same situation in Middleast /Africa. it is to cross the intermediate countries to reach other side that is in open conflict.
You again try to mix completely different things. I've already debunked both the economic and cultural side a long time ago, so let's move on to the "Russia delivers weapons" - well, if you reached this level of copium that mere delivery of weapons systems is something big for you, then idk what to say. It is a mere trade delivery, there is no moratorium that would enable NATO countries to intercept the deliveries. Serbia also buys Chinese
and
systems, and they get delivered through the same bunch of NATO countries. American allies Saudi Arabia and UAE buy Chinese drones with the former buying
.
you have to observe pics over time and see where those pics are taken most of the time and who is more in those pictures. very high skilled people visit because they want to be there.
Just usual blah-blah from you and once again trying to make mundane things look impressive, this really shows how starved you are from convincing arguments and hard facts, so you have to rely on obfuscation as a demagogical resort. Russians go to
and other Chinese military exhibitions all the time, and not only Russians.
