  1. I remember hearing a general, can't remember if it was a NATO or US one, anyway, he said something along the lines that the west was caught flat-footed and didn't think Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine, he said because of that, the west wasn't prepared to supple Ukraine with enough weapons without depleting their own stockpile, apparently that is changing around November with the west ramping up arms shipments, basiclly, it looks like things could get a lot harder for Russia next year. To top all that off, European countries will continue it's drive away from Russian oil and gas which longer term will do real harm to the Russian economy, it's at that point that I think western countries are going to go after countries that are profiting by buying cheap oil and gas from Russia, especially China and India, after all, there's no way the west is going through this only for China, India and others to prop up Russia, after all, the end game is to isolate Russia from the world whiles doing a lot of harm to the economy. There are a number of ways the west can push China and India to not buy oil and gas from Russia, I suspect the west could use tariffs on their goods and services to a percentage of how much they are profiting from buying cheap oil and gas, the idea is to wipe out that benefit for those countries, if they don't listen after that, more companies are likely going to move out of those countries because of tariffs making them less profitable and there are more than enough countries that would love to profit from that at the expense of China and India. The truth is, the west can afford to do this, they know there are an army of cheap labour countries that would love to gain that business, China and India can't afford to lose western markets as there isn't really any replacements for that, at least that are rich. I think all that will kick off once European countries have diversified away from Russia enough and the energy market is more stable, the irony being, Putin is speeding up that process with his games his playing by forcing European countries to fast track to alternative sources.
