Argentines are hardcore racists... the only country in the whole of south america that dont have a single black player ... infact in the whole of the Americas , but north and south .... No black player could command a shirt in barca when Messi was captain... infact he made sure Eric abidal ,( first black sporting director of football for barca )was sacked , after Messi disrespected him in the media ... all the fools celebrating Argentina because of their love for messi... pls try to step foot in Buenos Aires and u will think that u are indeed an animal ... Argentina is the worst country on earth when it comes to racism and Antisemitism.... they were the only country that gave the Nazis asylum after WW2 and there are speculations that Hitler never committed suicide ...he was smuggled to Argentina were he died a natural death , alongside his top generals ... most people don't know history

You too know history, am giving it to you.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Russia Says It Won't Cut Off Gas Supplies Yet In Rouble Payment Row by Gertyman: 2:28am On Apr 03, 2022
SIRTee15:
Nobody is paying in ruble. EU is still paying in euros and will continue to do so.
Gazprom wasn't sanctioned by EU so the Russian edict is useless.
EU will pay gazprom in euros, it's left for the Russian bank to change it to rubles or whatever and pay Putin.
It's a meaningless law, just some useless political point for Putin just like his pyrrhic battles in Ukraine.

Besides Putin can't just shut off the gas pipeline like it's tap water. He can’t keep oil and gas from coming out of the ground without capping wells, and storage capacity will get filled very fast if shipments stop cold, and then what what next?

And unlike what some ignorant pro putin are saying, he can't immediately switch to China or any other country such huge volumes. Russia has no pipeline to China or India. Putin will be stupid to stop 60 percent of his budget revenues.
How then will he fight his meaningless war?.
He's bluffing!

Foreign Affairs / Re: Gas Payments In Rubles Would Backfire On EU Sanctions by Gertyman: 1:19pm On Mar 27, 2022
Utycar:



Guy you are writing so many things that has no meaning, yeah ist have you been to Russia before? Do you know the kind of medical facilities that Russia has? The only country that can sanctions Russia and they feel it is China. I have been there for 4 years and I know that Russia has almost all What you will see in the USA,UK, France, Germany with a cheaper funds.

Am not talking about medical facilities or buildings. I expect them to have those ones. They are also rich with income from oil and gas, and were in good term with no sanctions from the west until 2014.

My question is what have they been widely known for in the area of science and innovations. What medical equipments, IT gadget, or any pharmaceutical products, agricultural equipments, semi cobductors etc are coming from Russia. You can tell me those of their items you or your friends have in your possession. Thats my point. Those are items that rule the world. Everyone of course can buy anything they wanted from anywhere as long as you have the money, but those people making it are the ones that rule the world economy.

In the next 50 yes, the world will still need fossil fuel.
Creating energy is not the problem, storage is.

But ultracapacitors and several other techniques and technology are already invented and still getting improved on. Are we going to generate all energy we need at once and store forever?

The mechanism is practically impossible. There is no swift system that supports transfer of the currency just like you cannot wire naira overseas

This same issue is why RMB is not commercially viable and china has scratched its head for years on how to make importers pay in Yuan. In the end they had to continue using dollar or euro

This talk is all Nationalistic and No action

Guy, I dey tell you o, our NL folks not just getting this analysis jare. They thought its all about the News from media hyping Russia and China up and down. I just want to ask then if China or Russia holds the largest gold reserve.

They don't even know that what makes a currency stands out and get accepted as reserve currency is due to, Govt transparency, political stability and Productivity. Russia lacks the 3. China lacks transparency, China can devalue the RMB just to suite their national interest, even if those countries holding the RMB will loose the value of what they hold, which things the West will not do.

All this movement to renewable energy is just fallacy; it’s still going to take longer than 20 years. Was so shocked when. I discovered almost all the countries in the EU are still buying COAL from Russia , not just gas, COAL in this age and time!!

I doubt the coal though, few countries stll uses coal, China the Lead. UN even have regulations on coal. Coal is the fastest Ozone layer destroyer. Renewable energy is getting popular in Europe. Several countries in Europe already investing in Wind Farm for wind energy in Europe. Iceland capitalizing on Geothermal Energy and many other too in other sources of Energy from Ocean. Most of their energy are now combined from different sources. Check out Denmark.

Let me tell you
Many people are making mistakes in thinking that fossil fuel will go away quickly

I don't even see fossil fuel going away in the next 100 years.


Who would have believed that price of oil will ever reach $130 today.

For man to develop technologies to overcome fossil fuel, it will require a very big miracle

Those technologies you mentioned cannot substitute gas because they are costly and hazardous.

Gas is a very cheap source of energy and it is in abundance on the Earth.

UAE diversified into service sector that's why tourism brings them huge income.
It's not just technologies.
They invested massively in world class infrastructures, education, airlines to give them a competitive advantage

Every sensible Nation invests in things that will give them competitive advantage over other nations.

The Chinese invested in low cost manufacturing which has given them competitive advantage over other nations.
The West cannot do that because of high minimum wage which will cause the cost of goods to be away from there common man.

The Germans invested in high technological manufacturing and efficiency. Which stands them apart from others.

Likewise the Japanese even nation's like India, Brazil, Turkey etc all invested in what will give them advantage

The world has been designed that if a Nation get herself organized and focused, they will do fine.

That's why I weep for African nation's most especially Nigeria. I really weep for this Nation.



Am happy we are both sharing nice comments. And I believe we can still learn from each other. Way back to BC's and AD's there were no fossil fuel, and yet they build kingdoms, pyramids and their sciences are the foundations of everything we have today.

Currently, several cars are now running on electricity, and solar energy still undergoing several research to see the best monograin/chemical composition that can produce the best efficiency. There have been many failures at the beginning of each innovations before we get what we now use today. Fossil fuel has proven to be degrading our environment and in the long run will be unsustainable as natural disasters awaits the earth. It's not a matter of choice but a matter of compulsion to preserve the depreciation of the earth. That's the reason for researching into other alternatives to save the world.

As for China, cheap labour is what they provided while the western countries provided the companies. Yes, sure each country is investing in what will give them advantage, but the goal of every country is also to be independent of other countries and also to increase their internal consumer market. China will not stop until she is independent of the west so as to be able to make everything it wants. That's why they launched made in china 2025. Of course Africa countries are weak, and cannot compete. The reason why every countries wants to be able to produce atleast enough products and technology they want is to be self sufficient, build wealth and increase their internal consumer market. China may have the manufacturing power, but they do not currently have the consumption power which is one of the formula for calculating gdp.

I get your point, but the world is working hard to get rid of fossil fuel, else this planet will be uninhabitable in the nearest future if we still live to depend on fossil fuel.

Gas is very very important because it is energy.
It is used for absolutely everything, from running companies to running homes.
The importance can not be under emphasized

Example look at effect of Nigeria without diesel, Petrol and power for the past weeks

Energy is more like the life blood of a Nation. Without it, everything crumbles

Concerning Russian gas and Europe. The Europeans have no alternative to Russian gas for now because Russia is very close to Europe, Russia has the infrastructure already to transport gas to EU countries buying from Russia; gas pipelines to Europe.
This makes gas from Russia very cheap to European consumers

Gases from other places even the US comes at an extreme high cost to the European consumers and in addition the distance is a huge problem.

To move gas in it's liquified form LNG required tankers that will carry it along the ocean.
Carrying it in tankers across the ocean takes longer time and cannot even scratch a bit of the demand rather than simply turning the tap of Russias gas pipelines which in hours has reached it's destination

So this is a very major problem for Europe. Geographic position put Russia in so much advantage.

For Europe to even develop an alternative will take even up to 10 years to build such infrastructure and the cost will be astronomical

Europe is in a very big dilemma and no one can save them.

That's why analyst are seeing what Russia did by announcing the payment in rubbles.
It will strengthen there currency because Euros and dollars will be chasing rubble making rubble appreciate in value. Major reason Naira depreciates is because Nigeria is not an exporting Nation.

Sure, good point. No doubt about gas being very important. But in the next 10 - 20 years, the world is moving to other friendly sources of energy, and you know that mean gas will be in lesser demand compared to some other commodities the world cannot do without. And as you mentioned, the reason why Russia is holding knife to EU's neck is the proximity of Russia to EU and the already available infrastructure in places. If gas is everything without other technologies, that can even substitute Gas power e.g Nuclear Energy, Semi conductors, Software etc, then Middle East Countries should be the Richest and the largest Economy in the world. UAE is the only middle east country that realized this on time and started diversifying and investing in Science and Technology.
