After World War 2, the Netherlands thrived economically due to natural gas, leading to what economists call 'Dutch Disease.' Conversely, Russia's reliance on resource extraction under Putin resulted in economic decline and impending crisis amid ongoing military conflict from the very same disease.

RUSSIAN ECONOMY IN DEATH SPIRAL

After World War 2, the Netherlands thrived economically due to natural gas, leading to what economists call 'Dutch Disease.' Conversely, Russia's reliance on resource extraction under Putin resulted in economic decline and impending crisis amid ongoing military conflict and sanctions that may soon bring Russias doom.

🇪🇺🦅 Europe is arming itself against drones, including FPVs or monitor infrastructure or equipment. A Swedish firm has created a cheap mini-missile to destroy UAVs, – The Telegraph

– Hunts drones using infrared sensors.
– Destroys UAVs with a blow, not an explosive — so there are no shrapnel.

I really love it, but what they don't understand is that the factory is the product. Millions of these are needed right now. There are no plans to make factories with useful output. If China needed millions of these they would have the factories up and running in a year.

Still shocking to me that NATO nations who supply weapons to Ukraine are buying any Russian energy products at all.

Is it that energy instability and price hikes would fuel far-right politicians eager to abandon Ukraine? If so, it's a devil's bargain that fuels the Devil's work.

Slava Ukraini! 💙🇺🇦💛

it is also necessary to take action against those who are buying Russian gas and oil, as well as those who sell components, chips, and parts "that allow the Russian military-industrial complex to keep producing weapons systems, ammunition, and the like."
