No it is completely fine. And when you are referring to Han being really racist..........You are not completely wrong...I do have first hand experience.

I am fine with it, I believe more dialogue and being reasonable and try to understand his stance and why he formed those opinion perhaps we can come to a common ground. I might not agree with him but I will not antagonize him/her.

In regards to Ukraine.
My opinion is the Sanctions will not really work.........
I would thinking getting France and Germany to sit with Putin and work it out may be a better option.
There must be some dialogue and give and take to end this war.

But there are a few countries which doesn't really want to end the war that soon.

The answer is quite easy: the production of American and Canadian fracking/shale oil could be ramped up again quite quickly if there was funding and the political will. The fracking boom only really ended because of low market prices, then the crash during the initial stage of covid, then a fossil-unfriendly government came in in Jan 21 and was the final death knell.

The gas and oil is still lying there and with drastically higher world market prices, the drilling sites would be economically viable again. Liberal Democrats focused on climate change would throw a fit, but the political fallout from sustained periods of inflation would quickly get them in line. It's basically the same development we'll see over the coming 1-2 years anyway.

yes agree.

Would the prices from Canada and USA be as competitive with the prices Russia give? I am not good with this particular topic.

fracking is an issue that is controlled by more than barrel price, it causes a lot of ecological issues not tied to emissions. the chemicals used severely damage watersheds and wouldnt be sustainable long term.

and we still have the investment of pipelines to deal with. look at what BS the us govt looked the other way at to protect its keystone pipeline investment.

You seem like the kind of guy who likes to straddle a fence, not able to have a foot on the ground on either side… doesn’t sound too comfortable to me.

Don’t think there’s really an opinion on dead civilians but maybe that’s my opinion..?

Good morning. So what's the latest false flag of the day? That railroad bombing with the Tochka-U (which Russia doesn't even use)?

Does the USA have huge issues with this ? And is this the reason why they are still buying Russian products in huge bulk at the moment before the 21st of April and opening up talks with the Venezuelan government to a point that they will lift Maduro's sanctions to get Oil and Gas products to soften the impact on the up and coming Russian Sanctions?
