The Russians have not cut European gas yet. So this is basically an auto imposed pain? The unintended consequences of European sanctions?German PPI. I cannot even begin to fathom how German industry is going to deal with this. They are done.
The saddest part is that the U.S. convinced the Europeans to do this.
Reminds me of my favourite American media quotes:
“The Chinese military is a clear and present threat to peace and freedom.”
And
“We have nothing to fear from the Chinese military because they have no experience fighting wars”
There is some unfortunate truth to what she said. Some of the biggest slave merchants were kings and businessmen from Africa, especially those from West African nations. They were complicit and sold their own people for profit.
There were African businessmen that rounded up slaves for white merchants, they were those that acted as middlemen, and those that loaded and offloaded and supplied European ships with food and provisions. They negotiated prices for salves from the hinterlands, and collected royalties from both buyers and sellers.
Their legacy is just as dirty as the British.
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.
