Good point, already now countries are hoarding military equipment instead of sending everything to Ukraine.

Even though theoretically it’s best to send vaccines where they are needed because the virus doesn’t care about borders, it doesn’t work that way purely from a domestic political standpoint. I believe it was France that “hijacked” a Swedish shipment of vaccines. World wars are likely to trigger similar selfish instincts in politicians and their foolish voters.

In the long run, it may have a marginal impact.

Then there is another problem with sanctions against Russia and Iran, and that is that it strengthens China, which can buy sanctioned oil at discounts and thereby outcompete energy-intensive companies in the West.

That is another reason why I prefer to bomb Russia 😀

I seem to have heard this about three years ago in this context, a bit like “two weeks” to me.

Well, you do have a point in that. Possibly if one buys from others, they can compensate to some extent by increasing their production. One could also consider letting Venezuela back into the warmth again, they could produce quite a bit if they get some help with the rebuilding, but I believe Trump has already said no to that.

The USA themselves said it wasn’t so close, within three years they thought.

Incognito worked. Thanks for the tip.
