A Negotiation for the Ages

Some international negotiations ought to be on Pay-Per-View. Who would not be willing to pay to listen in on this one?

Apparently, Europe is getting worried that the current unpleasantness in the Arabian/Persian Gulf will cut off the supplies of the fossil fuels (oil and Liquified Natural Gas) on which non-Net Zero Europe is heavily dependent. That is indeed a reasonable concern. What to do? What to do?

There are suggestions that Europeans should open discussions with the obvious alternative supplier – Russia! Well, we don’t have to ask who will be picking up the tab for lunch at that meeting. :grin:

Presumably the Russians would agree to have such negotiations … purely for the entertainment value, to see the Europeans squirm and lie.

Did we really impound $Hundreds of Millions of your assets? Oops! That was a computer glitch – thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Are you telling us that Zelensky was using the weapons we gave him to kill Russians? That Zelensky is such a trickster! He told us those weapons were only for hunting.

all western ‘leaders’ have been acting and talking like they will never bear the consequences of their actions….and implement obnoxious policies against their own and others in violation of all civilised norms, many of which seem calculated to needle and offend to the maximum. hopefully maybe reality will eventually assert itself. unfortunately, we the people, seem unable or unwilling to impose a change of bahaviour on the ‘epstein class’.
