[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 77524957, member: 21246"] The sanctions against Russia have had an impact and more importantly, mark a change in German and European foreign policy and strategic economic planning. Russia has lost a market, gained the redundancy of billions of dollars of investment in infrastructure to serve that market, and the profits that came from that. It is selling more to India and China but both have very favorable deals and the profit margins are much lower here than they were with Europe. India profits from buying the oil, refining it and shipping it to Europe at a premium but not in any kind of high volume way. Europe was Russia's best trade partner and moving forward was likely to remain so had they not invaded Ukraine. By invading they drove Europe back to the USA and away from its increasing addiction to Chinese markets and Russian resources. They have also accelerated the development of a green economy in which they have no advantage. Also, the real-world economy is not as dependent on fossil fuels as before as on-chip technology. Sanctions against Russia deprive it of high-end chips and China is not capable of filling the gap. They are now forced to buy masses of dishwashers to plunder their chips to put in new missiles. It helps to explain the dumbness of Russian military targeting. They can produce WW2 blunt instrument artillery shells but lack the capabilities of chip-dependent smart weaponry. Neither G7 nor BRICS have much to do with Jesus. The challenge of the BRICs is less to do with moral credibility than the viability of the multipolar world they are looking for. Instability is the more likely consequence of a loss of Western hegemony and the democratic deficit in BRIC countries is likely to award some unsavory characters. Moving forward we now have to ask what kind of world we want to live in while a looming perfect storm of troubles threatens to blow it all away. [/QUOTE]
