Agreed . China energy need are enormous. They need several sources because a single source can hold you hostage,Iran is a good source for them especially at discounted prices.

I think china will invade Taiwan, The semiconductor manufacture of the world.
Putin is just a side show breaking food chains..
China will take over manufacturing of Integrated semi conductors headquarter in Taiwan,
Then every electronic device will be controlled from China.

International trade does not work like that. Semiconductor is not the only product on the market. There are many products. Control of a product is only meant to give you leverage in negotiations, not as a tool of war which Putin is stupidly doing with a product he doesn't even control fully. You sell what you have and buy what you need. That's why they say nobody wins in a trade war. If China should ever control semiconductor market today, USA will invade Congo tomorrow to get their own and nothing China can do about it. Will they go and fight USA in Congo? They will eat their phones and computers with no market to sell it to.

China will not invade Taiwan without serious damage to the homeland economically. Not to mention Taiwan is one of the top10 military in the world, so they can damage their homeland economically while inheriting an Island of rubble as a result of Taiwan putting up some resistance. Bros, the world has moved beyond imperialist tendencies. We are in an age of trade and improvement of your citizens lives, not claiming pieces of land whose economic value is not equal to the economic shock your population will receive if try to go to war over it. That's why UK and Spain have never, and will never fight over Gibraltar. It usually takes an unhinged, old leader who has been too long removed from normal life to misunderstand this principle like Putin is doing.

I personally believe there is nothing stopping Russia from joining the EU and NATO except a lack of democracy and imperialistic ambitions. If Germany and Japan could drop their Imperialism and Autocracy and become the foremost economies in the world with their Citizens living la vida loca, then only Putin and those FSB mindset is stopping Russia from joining the comity of Nations. In history, Russia and Britain have always fought war on the same side and they have strong history of cooperation with the French except for the Napoleonic period. They are Europeans afterall and blood is thicker than water. I believe NATO will love to have a democratic Russia on its side as a deterrent against China who they share border with and who they are militarily superior to. They just need to do away with the past and old ways of thinking that Putin represents. All their former neighbours like Lithuania, Estonia and co are chopping life now, and if the Western world can absorb strong enemies like Japan and Germany, and even East Germany just 30 years ago and make them successful, then improving the lives of 150m Russians that have much to offer is a piece of cake. Putin is taking Russia the wrong way, simples.

China has 600m middle class The country needs a lot of energy, Probably they dont want source of their needs but we have something called hedging. You fix energy prices maybe annually.

China are already meeting that need as it stands from several sources including Russia

Truth be told, China cannot afford energy prices to skyrocket. At some point, they will want Putin to chill.

I don't think they will want to be wholly reliant on Russia. Sino-Soviet relationship has never been rosy even in the Communist era. Where they see eye to eye is on Taiwan and Ukraine, however China are smart guys that count the cost of everything. China don't have a large revenue product like energy that they can sell if their attempts to take Taiwan leave them shut out of Western markets. I believe China will take Taiwan with leverage and diplomacy. The cost is too high.

So even when you are allies with someone, when your ally becomes a barking dog that threatens your National interest, you need to be able to bring them to heel, and China taking 100% of its energy from Russia will put it in a vulnerable position to bring Russia in line when Russia's actions go against it's National interest. China is an ally with North Korea but dine with them with a long spoon because North Korea is too much of a barking dog. There have been many periods of strain of relations with China and North Korea including when China backed UN sanctions against North Korea, because China knows the market it mustn't lose (Western market).

I believe China are using this Ukraine fiasco as a gaming scenario to measure what the cost will be, and mitigations, when they start their own stronghead over Taiwan. Russia is simply a guinea pig for the Chinese.

Defenders are expected to cover up when midfielders miss their tackles. It’s part of their job.

The second goal had Silva sluggishly “escorting nobody”, something that would have made Jorginho condemned terribly here.

3rd goal can’t be on Rudiger, Silva contributed heavily too.

And the last goal? Maybe our attackers were expected to do the set piece defending and not defenders.


There’s a reason he was ranked terribly.

1st goal, Silva has his man. The man that shot was Azpis man

2nd goal, Silva was in the opponents half attacking a set-piece

3rd goal, Rudiger let his man go

4th goal is the one you can say he didn't clear the ball effectively after Mount lost the aerial challenge

basilico:
check my previous post.
China has insatiable energy needs.India too, I think russia is doing a pipeline to China.Europe has no better source of energy than from Russia.

No they don't.

China is on good terms with Iran and Iran has mothballed 1m BPD capacity because the international community won't deal with Iran. If China was so hungry, they would eat Iran's unused capacity.

China can increase Russian supply slightly but it will still be at knockdown prices, and no country sets up it's supplies to be wholly reliant on one source that can blackmail them.

At some point, China's goals and Russia's do diverge. Russia imports goods and exports commodities while China exports goods and imports commodities. Chinas aim is a strong dollar while Russias aim is a weak dollar. These two aims diverge. Not only that, but China does not like increase in Commodity prices, same as Western World. If China should ever tell Putin to chill, that his actions are increasing their cost of production and Putin controls 100% of China's energy supply, China will not be able to assert themselves

donstan18:
We have two major center backs, Rudiger and Silva.

When two center backs play, one is expected to be a leader, while one do the dirty work by being brutal and witty. Silva was shiit today, I don’t blame Rudiger a bit. He did his job, played well.. He was x10 better than Silva.

Just like I said earlier, we’ll one day know who is being carried in that defense.

The ancient Brazilian who’s using long pass and calm face to cover up his fvckups WAS FOUND WANTING in all the goals they scored us.

Silva is an old man.

The first goal was not his fault, RLC missed a tackle. Silva had his man.

Second goal had nothing to do with him, it was a counterattack from a set-piece

Third goal was on Rudiger who lost his man

Fourth goal was a knowdown from a set-piece

He wasn't involved in any of them. It's just one of those days at the office.

Jodera:
It still beats Me to imagine anyone blaming Mendy for any of the goals

He did pass the ball to Brentford attacker in the first half but they missed, that's where that's coming from. The way boys blood dey got, everyone must collect. Mendy did nothing wrong for the goals.

basilico:
Europe gets 40 percent of it energy from Russia.

Germany gets 40% of it's gas from Russia rather.

Your guy Trump did warn them that Russia will use it for blackmail but they didn't listen.

Regardless, it's a buyers market, not a sellers one. Russia have nowhere to divert or store the gas and need the money. Meanwhile countries are making their own provisions long term. Putin has really shot himself in the foot, however you look at it.

Tyche:
My order at 2.35 is yet to trigger, Abi Na from my side

My order is at $2.05. I didn't think it will find support at $2.50 so I went for the next psychological support level. Had I known how to use Binance futures, I would have shorted from $2.80, it was too obvious

Rudigers role in that third goal should be questioned.

Exonerate1, I saw nothing Mendy did wrong in that third goal. At that distance, the odds are in favour of the attacker. Keeper has to move before the attacker shoots as there is no reaction time at that distance. That's what Mendy did.

Ibime

You have a gas tank?

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1590106/germany-russian-gas-gazprom-putin-cuts-off-supply-ont

That article isn't correct. Gazprom is basically selling their German division (downstream) to avoid unfavourable regulation, not that supply has stopped.

Also Germany has a few months supply.

Gas is something that moves quickly and that volume Russia pumps cannot be stored by them, so the clock is ticking on Putin, not Germany. They will come to compromise.

Exonerate1:
Are we playing 3 atb to protect Jorginho or the defenders?

Jorginho and Alonso primarily

RLC is not a DM

Exonerate1:
That are not my favorites, it's just the double standards among certain players here

Teacher flogs a useless student with more force than a straight A student

They are your favourites. You are always speaking up for them. Kepa, Chris, Alonso and Jorginho. I personally think your constant defence of the softest players in the team is a psychological marker that reflects who you are. You be soft boy.

donjazet:
Ibime won't come and rant about how kante was "escorting" there. Lord knows what he would say if jorginho was playing this match. How he would find a way to link jorginho to every single error today.

How could you call that escorting. He stayed with the danger man in the middle and the expectation should be that Ziyech and Alonso push Mbuemo to a non-threatening position but those slow coaches couldn't keep up. He only switched attention to Mbuemo at the last minute when Mbuemo became the bigger danger, and by that time Alonso should have been in position to cut the pass since Alonso had abandoned pursuit of Mbuemo and was running to the centre . If Kante stayed with Eriksson throughout and even let Mbuemo shoot 1-on1 with Mendy he will be faultless. My Kante doesn't escort.

Exonerate1:
Imagine Kepa conceded those goals mendy did especially the 3rd one

We will forgive Mendy, not your favourites Kepa or Alonso.

Get lost with your ninny agendas

4 man defence exposing our defenders again

Funny that the last 3 games Chelsea have dropped points are the ones jorginho hasn't played in. And he has won 12 consecutive games he started.

Stop making noise. I haven't watched the game, na radio I hear match. Which goal was that so I can keep an eye for it.. My Kante doesn't escort, highest he went to another player.

WTF happened

If you no get Rudenigga for FPL, cover your face

donjazet:
Our midfield is failing so far. We don't have a grip on the game.

So long as Jorginho is not playing, this comment is sure

SHib is gearing up for another move if BTC doesn't wreck things

GMT no want come down. I sold at $2.80 hoping to catch it back around $2.05

nonut:
Ibime, I invested on "our" last year project(babyswap) because it was way too cheap from the ATH, and I wasn't mistaken. I'll be moving the profits to buy more Mbox and Sfund. The top dogs are still wasting time.
$NEAR is too slow.

Babyswap and Biswap had hype around the same time last year so I'm not surprised they'll move together. Na Capital protection make men put money in largecaps cos the fast moving smallcaps can also wreck you.

Near has been nice and steady. As it approaches 20, good to take a chunk off as that is previous ATH and resistance will be heavy

I bought a small bag of MANA.

It's Metaverse season, they have a fashion week coming, and Amazon India is hinting a partnership with them and OnePlus. In the middle of Metaverse narrative, what could go wrong?

XaToXi:
Thanks.

I have a scalping robot that trades 50-70 pairs at a time based on signals from trading view and rsi level. It buys when rsi is less than whatever figure I set and sells at whatever profit I program.

Rinse and repeat.

The bot interacts with Binance?

PDPGuy:
England v Iran

US vs Iran will be fire like 1998 World Cup. Iran go die for pitch against 3 countries they call Satan in their official documents (USA, UK and Wales/Scotland). If those Iranian players lose all three, they shouldn't bother going home.

Singapore1:
I don't think Binance will ever list STG. It is FTX baby and you will never see binance pumping ftx bag especially in this market. Coinbase is possible though

Shey pesin talk say Binance labs also invested

You may be right but one thing about CZ is he hardly hates on projects that strengthen other ecosystems. Coinbãse are the big haters.

Iamyemmie:
Stg will be listed on gate.io tomorrow
Might cause an upward movement

No wonder the coin pump today. It will likely see selling tomorrow when it lists

But na Binance listing we dey wait

Fastt:
Funny how many of the known projects are dying off(or stagnant) . Uses cases.

BSW is still very cheap. As Europe tightens on cry.pto, chances are we are all gonna go with cheaper decentralized exchanges. Got a bag of BSW and migrate your assets from bin.ance to offline wallet ND use strictly bi.nance to exchange cash. BSW has a almost everything that bi.nance has, at least for now ND I see lots of ppl using it in future to escape tax.

Na today I just code say that BSW is Biswap. I held it in Biswap last year when I read that Binance Labs invested but the coin no gree move up or down. What's unique about the service they offer? All wallets interact with Binance

DaemoLee:

$9bln USDT volume on Binance. The cøin no want let any other coin breet

XaToXi:
What a stress free month.

The win rate is not 100% because I was shorting btc on the side - the only manual trade I made. Should close all or part of that by next week or sooner.

That's an impressive winrate. Please share your strategy like nna777
