With the amount of oil reserves Russia has its the world that will suffer. Unless everyone shifts to electrical cars we can expect a world fuel deficit.
Russia does not have the monopoly of oil.

Breaking News..........

In light of the current bellicose and despotic character of Vladimir Putin, I have imposed a total ban on Emu Oguro (Palm Wine) from being exported to Russia from Ogbagi-Akoko, Ondo state.

We have imposed that Emu Oguro Ogbagi sanction on Russia till further notice.

To put it into perspective, as a company, Apple is valued at about 8x the GDP of the giant of Africa called Nigeria.

China is doing well without the West. Same with Iran and North Korea. It is time for Russia to do the same.
India can also do the same. As for African nations, we are dependencies till tomorrow.

Putin has failed to develop Russia beyond being a military superpower. Russia under Putin lacks the business savviness of the Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Koreans...How many Russian products have you seen on the international market?
Re: Apple Suspends All Product Sales In Russia by Anchuna: 9:45am On Mar 02, 2022
At 9 to 10 million barrels of oil per day, America is the largest oil producer in the world and doesn't buy crude Oil from Russia. America economy is highly diversified that is why you may not know about this, unlike here in Nigeria with 1.5 to 2 million barrels of oil per day makes us a monoeconomy and a poor country.

Nigerians are just terrible people with zero moral values! Those saying Apple lost are just funny thinkers.
Unlike most Africans who think like baboons and monkeys, there is something called ETHICS and PRINCIPLES. As a business, the financial bottomline is not the ONLY reasons why you do business. Sometimes you can choose not to sell to someone who has money because of your convictions.
You can even get gratification from giving part or ALL your profit away in philanthropy. This is what a lot of Africans cannot process.
That is why rascists like Donald Trump's father refused to rent or sell his properties to Blacks who had money to pay.
It is possible to derive satisfaction from not selling to people you are not happy with. Such satisfaction can even surpass financial gains.
Some Nigerians do it a lot. They will prefer to loose a sale by giving the buyer they don't like a high price. Even if such buyers leave, they still get a deep sense of satisfaction.

They stopped Fracking which made them Energy Independent under Trump to become dependent on their enemies for energy.
Isn't Biden so wise?
Trump warned EU about what is happening.
The Western Media mocked him.
Now they have seen who's wise and who's foolish.

Trust me every country is learning, you might be allies with US today but what of Tommorow you fall out with them , is this how they will shut down Google pay and Apple pay on your citizens that depend on them ?

I get your point and all....but bro, this is not a falling out, this is a country declaring war on another country and the situation is so dicey if not handled well might lead to a world war...

Putin threatened the possibility of going nuclear, so again, this is not a simple falling out...

Lastly when as a leader you decide to take a decision that puts you against a huge portion of the world, you should think about your citizens, my point is apple did not just wake up to take that decision, we must be ready for consequences of our actions even on those who played no role in deciding them, that is why citizens must hold their leaders to account because often times, they suffer the consequence of their actions.

Most people don't hate the US. People want see a world where countries will be treated fairly

US invaded Iraq on lies. They lied to the whole world that Iraq has weapon of mass destruction. Iraq has been ruined. Iraqis are suffering now. People don't sympatise with the Iraqis because we have been brainwashed. They tag them terrorists for wanting to take back their country from the US imposed government.

Libyans used to be the luckiest people on earth. Gaddafi gave them everything they need. Now Libyans are the most unfortunate people. NATO has destroyed the country completely. The Libyans realise this and attacked the US consolate and killed the US ambassador to Libya.

The same thing was done in Yogoslavia, cuba e.t.c. The US forcefully remove government s of sovereign countries and impose new governments on the people.

All these astrocities were carried out and not a single sanction was levelled against the US.

This is why i don't support a unipolar world. In a unipolar world. There is only one master (US). This one master can do anything that others are not allowed to do.

But if we have a multipolar world. The most powerful country on earth (US) can be challenged and call to order.

So this is not about what is right or wrong for you but about the bad decisions the US made in the past?...

So in your mind because US made bad decisions in the past, Russia has the right to start a war that may kill millions? And should not be called to order?

Sometimes I wonder if we are moving forward as a human race, it is thinking like this that slows down progress...it's just like saying that if some retards in the north killed some easterners in their domain some time ago however wrong they might have been, it is ok for some retards in the east to also kill innocent northerners in their region too, after all, the northerners killed easterners first...

May God help us

This is why the technology world needs to breakaway from the western
world's monopolistic Hegemonic dominance in the techno sphere.
The world desperately needs a system not based on Western building blocks.

Windows OS, Mac OS X, Android OS, Linux - These are wielding a strangle hegemonic hold on the tech-verse.

With all these bans and sanctions, the world is gradually pushing Russia to become self-sufficient, independent and self-reliant to provide certain services for itself. Very soon Russia would become like China, developing everything it needs internally or worse case, become a staunch partner to using Chinese devices and services

It should be the goal of every county to be self sufficient, but I have a feeling we misunderstand what being self sufficient is? No country can do without the outside world, the China you use as an example has US as it's biggest trading partner...

In business you grow when people buy your product, you can never be bigger than a country whose market is the whole world if your market is just the shores of your country, ask North Korea...

Even China understands this which is why they have not come out to outrightly support Putin, they are staying neutral...

The US and European Union are their first and second biggest trading partners respectively and any disruption will affect business at home, slow growth, decrease opportunities for job creation, leading to unemployment, poverty, civil unrest...that is how it goes...

My point, no country can be self sufficient, if what you mean is been isolated from the outside world.

This is one of the problem we are facing in the world. People attaching emotion to everything. Is like some people find it hard to comprehend what they read.

No one is attaching emotions to anything, your whole writeup was as a result of the ongoing debate about the Russian/Ukraine war...

And about the world been unipolar, like I stated earlier, nobody is stopping others from not advancing, the world is not fair, and those with the greatest technology and prosperity wield the greatest power, and will exercise it to their advantage always...
