@ehisgeorge414 Yeah, Russia's celebrated hypersonic missile has turned out to be a game changer in the war in Ukraine, unlike the HIMARS, M777, PzH 2000, Javelin and NLAW. Or was it the other way around?

Asia already buys Siberian crude at a discounted rate. This simply brings Europe on par with Asia. Asian economies lose their temporary competitive advantage, which is hard to construe as a good thing.
