Are Russia and China allies or competitors?

WHere in the USA Hispanic and blacks will take over because they had children longer than whites, but recently even they are having less children.

What does that even mean, it's almost Bidenesque?

Are you saying that black and hispanic people in the past, had children who were taller than white ones, so they will become the master race?

Or are you saying that blacks and hispanic have had children for a longer period of time compared with white families, so they'll take over?

Either way your ramblings make little sense, and this is consistence on all threads.

Texie Boy - Rosco is a good Scots man - you attacking him marks you as a despicable excuse for a subliterate moron.

Since your God and Saviour is the Jewish President of UA Zalensky... Why don't you move to Ukraine and join the UA Foreign Legion and absorb a few Rooskie Mortar rounds in Backmutt and do us all a huge favor.

Even Zalensky is now warning that if Backmutt falls then the UA people will demand he surrender (negotiate) to sue for peace with Russia.

Manny and his fellow EUians are worried they will not have a business left if they have to keep paying 20 times more for NatGaz and Oil than they were paying before the UK/MI6 blew up the Nordstream pipelines to remind the 4th Reich stealth German/EU Natzees who is really in charge of the EU (Rothschild's City of London Crown Colony).

If NATO do not force Ukraine to sue the Russian's for peace now (on term's favorable to Roosiya) then its basically lights out in the UK and EU - Credit Swiss was the first Warning of a collapse of the EU, DeutscheBank, ECB and BoE are right behind them.

  I saw this Cuffy.  the main point that might be important to many on this forum is towards the end...the coalescing of Europe against Russia is a mostly a European decision, with the U.S. being in the background minor player.

All energy prices have eased considerably.

Prices for Gasoline and Diesel are only slightly above pre-war levels.  Electricity is quickly approaching pre-war levels and gas slowly following.

I don't know how much you know about farming. A lot of fertilizer comes
from anhydrous ammonia. Europe was very lucky, with a super mild winter.
Look up where most the worlds potash₁ Another contributor to
most fertilizer. Without anhydrous ammonia
and potash there will be world wide death by starvation. Guess who is the 3rd and
4th largest producers in the world? Russia and Belarus.

NOTE: Now with Moby gone, maybe we could extend how long we have to make
a post. I was editing and adding links to my previous post when I ran out of
time, OR I f#cked it up and couldn't figure out how to return.

How did the Germans for example keep electrical prices in check, for the general
public? They did it by seriously rationing the amount and prices that their industry
could use and pay.

[BC]

2tall,

there was no rationing, just requests to lower consumption.

Some of the efforts are covered here:
https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/lower-energy-prices-mean-germany-likely-spend-much-less-subsidies-planned-consultancy

Prices have decreased due to the winter being unusually mild so far, explained Wünsch. In addition, electricity generation from wind turbines has recently increased significantly, and French nuclear power plants, many of which had been out of operation in the summer and autumn, have been brought back online more quickly than anticipated. As a result, less natural gas is needed to generate electricity in Germany. This has eased the situation not only on the electricity market, but also on the gas market.

Like myself, many European households made efforts to save as much as possible.  We almost halved our electric consumption by eliminating waste and stayed within our budget despite the rise in prices without sacrificing comfort.



Multiply this by millions of households and factories doing the same thing.

Germany, which had the largest dependence on RU gas has fared well, with remaining storage levels around 70%.

https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/EN/Areas/Energy/SecurityOfSupply/GasSupply/Downloads/2023/03_March/20230307.pdf

The temperature-adjusted consumption is 14% lower than the reference value for 2018 to 2021

Wholesale prices have decreased in the last few weeks. Businesses and private consumers must continue to adapt to fluctuating prices and a higher price level.

Some countries subsidized low-income families, and some temporarily dropped some of the usage taxes. 

Each country acted to find new sources of gas.  Germany added, and is still adding, additional re-gasification terminals for LNG.

Sure, prices remain higher than normal, but with all ongoing efforts, next winter shouldn't be a problem.  In fact, this 'wake-up call' made everyone focus on their consumption and reduce waste.  Overall, a good thing.  A 14% reduction in gas usage in Germany alone is huge.  Those reductions and more will continue going forward as other sources, including renewables, increases.

The bottom line, everyone paid market prices, and rationing was not necessary.  No brownouts, no blackouts, much to Putin's chagrin.  He remains the loser, with fewer customers and those that remain buying his oil and gas at huge discounts.

Last I recall Italy did not get any energy from the NordStream 1 and 2 pipelines.  Italy gets most of its energy supplies via Turkish pipelines from Russia and from LNG shipments from Afrika sources.

Why Russia's Biggest Threat is Actually China

2tall,

You are right and I was wrong about rationing however,

BASF eliminated 2600 jobs mostly in Germany₁

BASF used 1% of Germany's gas usage ₂ and their reduction in use
surely helped lower prices.

With a more typical winter, it would be difficult to achieve similar results. There
are other industries that are also very sensitive to flucuations in energy prices.

Europe will pay a price by relocating high energy and low margin necessary
industries and there will be higher costs in all of Europe for things that would
make for better supply chain logistics having them more locally produced. ₅


From the UN
"Energy-intensive industries, such as chemicals and petrochemicals, cement, paper, and iron and steel, are hit particularly hard by soaring energy costs. These industries play an important role for Europe’s economy. The iron and steel, minerals, refineries, and chemical industries combined employed an estimated 3.2 million people in the EU in 2019, accounting for about 11 per cent of total industrial employment.

They also contributed about 15 per cent of total value added of manufacturing. Since a large share of energy-intensive products are intermediate goods, any disruptions to production can have a wider impact on industrial output and competitiveness."₃

Also from the UN
Due to their production structure, some countries are affected more severely by the
energy crisis than others. Germany, for example, combines a large manufacturing
sector with high energy use in industrial production. In 2021, value added of the manufacturing sector accounted for 18 per cent of GDP, about twice as much
as in France or Greece. Industrial energy use in Germany is concentrated in the
chemical and petrochemical, non-metallic minerals (which includes cement, ceramic,
and glass), and iron and steel industries. ₄
