This works until the reserves of russian money runs dry.

??? The US basically owns India. They are each others biggest trading partners. US companies own a huge chunk of indian debt. All the goods Russia provides to India the US can buy. It's a way around some goods sanctions for America and Europe. This is a brilliant move for the west. They can get Russian goods for cheap now while Russia can't really use the western market. If it comes to extreme measures for the west they've a way around it. These are desperate moves of Russia actually. They're hanging by a thread and when their war chest runs dry they're forced to retreat and lose power. Maybe even a new revolution in Russia. Freedom is contagious. Look how hard Ukraine people are fighting. They're holding one of the biggest armies back on their own. Belarus had a uprising a year ago. Imagine Russia belongs to the west. That will happen soon. Russia is crumbling piece by piece. The west is actually winning this war without physically fighting it. Eventually they will win the economic war too. It's just a matter of time. Don't forget the EU has a lot of oil and gas and they decided not to use it because of climate change and emissions. The biggest gas bubble of Europe is in the Netherlands and nobody drills there. Norway stopped drilling oil etc. Russia is the one getting destroyed. The west can afford inflation with ease.

??? The gas and oil price is a global market price. Why do you think Sri Lanka is in so much trouble!? They all pay the same price. The problem is that there is a shortage in Europe. They aren't getting gas and oil from Asia, but from south\middle America, Africa and the middle east. Meanwhile they' re planning to all green energy by 2050. Asia is also going green. China has the most green energy in the world right now. India is getting money from the US to build green energy. Cars will be all electric by 2035. There won't be a market for gas and oil left at the end of this century. When this war ends gasprices will fall like you never seen before. Russia also is paying this war by tapping in on reserve money. War cost money. When these reserves run out Russia will back out of Ukraine. Europe also has gas and oil. They actually don't really need Russia for fossil fuels. The Netherlands actually has the biggest gas bubble of Europe in the ground, but they aren't pumping gas and are building windparks instead. This tells you that they aren't afraid of Russia at all and that this is temporary. Russia will run out of money and this is just a tactic to make other countries pay more for their fuels to at least get some money back. The high global price of gas is because of Russia and every country who buys it is paying for bullits. You think countries like Sri Lanka like this!? African countries made a deal with Putin for food too. When this war is over and they've choices again they won't forget what Russia did to the prices of food and fuels. Meanwhile EU and US companies own a lot of debt of China and especially India. India is basically getting build by US money. This money is owned by American companies, not companies in India. When India grows the US grows. The fact is Russia lost the European and US market. Two major markets. Russia is not really a selling market for exports for Europe and the US. Only for imports. Russia always had these asian markets already.

@fishlivesmatter That will go on until the EU buys enough fossil fuels from other countries. They've no choice, for now. But that will change. Next year they will have enough fossil fuels to get of Russian fossil fuels. Plus Europe can also open their oil fields and gas fields again. They don't because of emissions. But the Netherlands has the bigggest gasfield of Europe for instance. It's totally closed now and they're building windparks instead.

@fishlivesmatter When the gas supply in Europe is met. We won't be needing Russian gas at all. The Nordstream is operational at 20%. Everything in the EU is powered and running. After this winter we won't be needing Russian gas at all anymore. We'll be having liquid gas and we'll be drilling again. Than the price will drop.

@fishlivesmatter But without high gas and oil prices their economy is going to take a serious hit. In 2035 all cars all going to be electric too, so every year they will see less profits. Next year the price of gas is gonna drop, so the Russian economy is gonna fall. They can't put any money in the biggest stockmarket of the world. That's a huge revenue loss. High fossil fuel prices keeps them afloat for now. Germany asked the Netherlands to pump gas again, but they can't because of emission laws. That's also why there's a big fight with farmers. All those countries are getting more expensive liquid gas now, but when their supply is back up and the demand goes away and the gasprice will fall again.

@fishlivesmatter All big car manufacturers already announced that they only gonna make electric cars by 2035. European car manufacturers are starting in 2030. Even Ford and General motors are going all electric. There won't even be petrol stations by 2045 probably. They all are gonna be charge stations. So from 2030 and onwards every new car in Europe is already gonna be electric. Scooters, busses and trucks too. That would mean petrol demand goes way down in the world. Europe is gonna get gas from Africa, Asia, Australia, America and the Middle east. They could also drill in the biggest gasfield in Europe. It's currently not being used because of emission laws. It's in Groningen the Netherlands. A child!? I'm not putting 12 emoticons in my messages.

@fishlivesmatter It will al be over for gas selling countries. Just found out that my country the Netherlands is heating up all houses without gas by 2050. In my city they're starting next year with the first neighborhoods.

@neverknowsbest2879 The Chinese have the most green energy of all the countries in the world. They will go all electric cars too. No more gas and oil to China and India for Russia. That market is getting smaller for Russia everyday. The fact is that Russia is far behind the US\EU and China on technology. Russia is losing the AI automation revolution battle. It's like missing the industrial revolution. It will leave Russia in the dust. We can produce stuff close to zero marginal cost when we don't need fossil fuels and everything is automated. It's super efficient. While Russia totally missing the the boat. Russia depends on fossil fuels. It's the primary source of income. That will be all gone soon. The price of fossil fuels will eventually drop. Russia will have a massive problem. It's the only advantage that Russia has over Europe right now. If gas and oil supply are back up in Europe next year the prices are gonna fall. If it takes too long Europe can drill for fossil fuels themselves again. Emission laws in the EU are holding drilling back. When the Netherlands loses 50% of their livestock they can drill for gas again for instance. They've the biggest gas field of Europe. It's not that the EU doesn't have fossil fuels, they just not using it. The fact is that the EU has options and Russia has not much to fall back on. When Russia finally retreats from Ukraine they lost all power in the world. The fact is they already lost the war. Nato and the EU now borders Russia and nobody is afraid of the Russian army anymore. European army is growing by the day too. While Russia is losing army power. Ukraine is getting backed by the GDP of the whole west. Everyday more trained army Ukraine personnel with more advanced weapons enter Ukraine from the west. The west has more advanced weaponry than Russia. The new Himar artillery has a better range than anything Russia has. Ukraine grows stronger everyday. There's no way Russia can ever win anymore. Next target is gonna be Belarus.

@neverknowsbest2879 They do, but not as far. This is the list of Russian artillery and their range. 9A52-4 “Tornado” MLRS: up to 90km range BM-30 “Smerch” MLRS: 70 to 90km range 2S7 “Pion” 203mm heavy artillery: 37,5 to 55km range TOS-1 220mm MLRS and thermobaric weapon: 0.5 to 6km range 2S19 Msta 152.4mm howitzer: 45 to 62km range 2S35 “Koalitsiya-SV” 152.4 or 155mm artillery: 40 to 80km range. The Himars have a proven range up to 300 km and a variety of munitions in development that will offer extended range beyond 499 km. It's not even close! They currently have the short range rockets which make them equal, but you could fire up to 483 KM with a Himar. Russia's is BM 30 clocked at 90 km. They could even hit Moscow from Ukraine with a Himar. Imagine if they have a 100 of those with the right ammo. You don't want to screw with the west to much. If we say there's gonna be a no fly zone in Ukraine, Russia can't do anything about it. We're at least 4× as powerful by air. Plus Russia have no spare parts for drones. Everyone of those drones are not coming back. The Russian drones are made partly in America and France. Guess who has more of those drones. Yeah we do. More anti air systems too. Getting pricey for Russia yet again. For everything we've a answer. Keep wasting money, when the fossil fuel price drops it's gonna be a quick retreat. Than we focus on Belarus.

@neverknowsbest2879 Artillery is artillery. Russia also has the M21 grad missile launcher, but the grad doesn't have high precision rounds and a m21 grad has only a range of 45km. To compare missile launchers is useless. Russia's missile launchers are terribly old tech. When NATO fights Russia it will be over for Russia in a year. NATO has supriority by air, water and land. We can just dig in and hit them from far. They stand no change at all. They won't be throwing nukes. That would be committing suicide. Maybe if they're almost losing as a last resort. We only need to hit Putin with a Nuke and Putin needs to hit 30 leaders of NATO. He also needs to hit targets on the otherside of the world. We just need to hit Russia. That would be over real fast for Putin. At least make it a little bit hard for us.

@neverknowsbest2879 The Russians do have the 9A52-4 Tornado with a range of 120 km. It's their best ballistic missile launcher, but the HIMAR is still better in every category. It can fire 12 missiles and has 3 to 4 times the range while the 9A52-4 Tornado only can fire 6 missiles. A HIMAR could easily be out of range and still hit the 9A52-4 Tornado. Perfect as a counter battery. A HIMAR could counter and the still hit 11 more targets within a minute. Not much changes there for a 9A52-4 Tornado.

@neverknowsbest2879 A Kalibr is a cruise missile used in a ship and the Tocha has a range of 120 km. Kalibr isn't even a long range cruise missile compared to RS-28 Sarmat 18,000 km the Russians have. A ship is a easy target when you've air superiority tho. The Russians lost their flagship within 2 months already. Imagine if the have the whole UK and US navy hunting them too. Ships would be the number one priority to hit if i was the US.

@neverknowsbest2879 Just heard how much this war is costing Russia. It's 900 million a day. Auch! He's bankrupting Russia.
