Trade and dependencies catapult economies forward, there is no way around that, at the risk of collapse if something threatens the system of trade and dependencies.
Looks like you are getting your wish with sanctions becoming so common and liberally applied.

Well the market turbulence exists because of manipulations and is being bouyed by manipulations. I'm not sure what a true valuation is, as an economic concept. Could say the same thing about the Yuan. At the wide angle, its hard to say the US sanctions are as crippling as we intended them to be.

Trade and dependence are not mutually exclusive. I am for trade but not dependencies. Overextending in trade agreements from which you have no fall back is akin to gambling. Reminds me of all the people jumping off buildings who put too much money on stocks which tanked during the crash.

The only nations like Pasiffic Islands or low resource places like Nepal are dependant the rest are just one conflict away from crumbling

Bethink yourselves

we talked plenty about this in germany, but all concerns were just brushed off

merkel and the german political left being hardcore russia shills was a conspiracy theory, quitting nuclear and depending on russian fuel was no problem and demanding proper spending for our military was "nazi"

now shit has hit the fan and even those are responsible for this mess act like they knew it all along

TV said OJ man bad and OJ man is Russian spy, why listen to what he actually says when I can have someone decide for me what they think he says?

how is it the guy every lefty and the media called a “russian kompromised asset” wanted european nations and western businesses to not be reliant on russian petroleum and other resources
