Climate change getting out of hand.

The #EU could face a gas shortage of around 57 billion cubic meters (bcm) in the near future, according to the International Energy Agency (#IEA)

#Russia shutting down its #gas supplies and #China increasing #LNG imports to their 2021 levels, would limit the availability of LNG globally.

FYI: 57 billion cubic meters is approximately equal to the combined carrying capacity of the dual #Nordstream2 pipelines, destroyed by the US in an act of blatant international terrorism

ECONOMIST MICHAEL HUDSON GIVES AN INTERVIEW TO A GERMAN MAGAZINE:

Q: What real effect do the sanctions have according to your analysis?

Hudson: The #US #sanctions have turned out to be an unanticipated godsend for #Russia.

In agriculture, for instance, sanctions against Lithuanian and other Baltic dairy exports has led to a flowering of a domestic Russian cheese and dairy sector.

Russia is now the world’s largest #grain exporter, thanks to the Western sanctions that have had much the same effect as protective tariffs and import quotas of the sort that the United States used in the 1930s to modernize its agricultural sector.

If President #Biden were a secret Russian agent, he hardly could have helped Russia more.

Russia needed the economic isolation of protectionism, but was still too entranced by neoliberal free-trade policy to do this by itself. So the U.S. did it for it.

Sanctions oblige countries to become more self-reliant, at least in basic needs such as food and energy.

This self-reliance is the best defense against U.S. economic destabilization to force regime change and similar compliance.

One effect is that Russia will need to buy much less from Europe even after the fighting in Ukraine ends.

There will be less need for Russia to export raw materials to Europe. It can work these up themselves.

The industrial core that was Europe may end up more in Russia and its Asian allies than in the United States.

That is the ironic result of NATO’s new Iron Curtain."

This is a US Navy training video 😂

No, seriously..... #USNavy personnel have to sit through this incoherent nonsense.

They have to be a pronoun/gender "ally" otherwise they will be punished.

There is no alternative.

You must be an "ally" whether you like it or not.

Russell Brand: “It’s a scam. The objective isn’t to get the farmers to behave in an organic, responsible, ecologically apposite manner. Far from it. It’s in order to bankrupt the farmers so that their land can be grabbed.”

I'm not a fan of #RussellBrand.

I think he is every bit as much of a scam artist as the people he is complaining about in the above video.

But: his complaints in this video are not wrong.

It is about dispossessing the smaller farmers, degrading/destroying our food supply and increasing food insecurity.
