Doubtful. Russia have a 40% of all natural resources.

Yes but, what if there's nobody to buy it ?

Ugh you make me feel like that old beardy hobo with his apocalypse written piece of cardboard you pangloss

Quote from (HP)

Not true, more and more you'll see countries start to research and use better efficient power sources. Germany is doing it, and it's overcast 85% of the time in there, lmao.

Fossil fuels are going to be a thing of the past soon, they have to, or we're all fucked.

Dude you are an optimist

Using other sources of energy than fossil energy would also means reinvesting and change the whole infrastructure of the world industry, from the biggest manufacture, to your most humble peasant tractor, it cost dollars and that's not for today.

and sprony YES

Ugh no reactions or opinions to the well written geopolitical analysis i made with love ? By 2020 the Russian economy will die and the UE will be energetically dependant from the US which would have opened a new market for themselves and should know an economic growth until they fracked every cm of their territory, i somehow feel pretty sure this what the Ukrainian crisis is all about. And boy will they feel sorry in 2050 when they will have destroyed their ground.

Really I think the worst that could happen to Russia is risking an embargo from the western block on the exportation of its fossil energy, that is the primary actor of Russia economy and they are dependant of their european customers (germany importing the most fossil energy from Russia paradoxaly); the more its going, the less the UE and the US are dependant on Russia exports, because in any way there is still the middle east and the arabic countries to fill the holes.

While Russia is standing on seizing Crimea, I don't think the UE countries will move because of their high dependency of the russian gas importations and what they have to lose. But if it gets more serious and the western countries would cut Gazprom taps and increase the loan rates on Russia, that would mean cutting the branch on which Russia is sitting and throw Russia's economy in the hole.

So there's no question to me that the west (Especially the recent US shale gas reserves, which need clients and would like to steal the Russian market http://www.fractracker.org/2014/04/geopol…d-hydrocarbons/) is exercising a big pressure on Russia by that mean. And probably did before the Ukrainian crisis, and since Ukraine was Russia number one client and their access to turkey through the black sea, it's almost normal they have to step in against a government closer to the west.

Basically the biggest threat to Russia is the US shale gas exploitations stealing their european exportation market, and that is most probably what the US wants to do and would explain a lot about the building tensions between Russia and the western block. If the baltic becomes a zone at risk and the diplomatic tensions become worse, that would be cheaper and more convenient for the UE to turn to the US for their gas importations. Thus the US have all interest to divide the UE and Moscow. And it is Russia (and UE) who risks the most on the long term. (although the US risks to completely destroy their soils and aquifers in the mean time)

US RESCUING THE WORLD (for money) ONCE AGAIN

Not even speaking about morality there of course

But yeah, if we would start a world war 3 over gas pipelines, talk about shitty stuff

Quote from killertomato

that wasn't the only ''Dutch stuff'' we took with us I assure you

Nature... it's so beautiful ..... man

Yeah I hardly see Putin as a communist too, although i'm not sure his predecessors had been communists themselves. And I agree with Step idea of the Russian government affirming its independence by the way of nationalism and how they can act on the world diplomacy in their own legitimate way. (Although that would be true for the western block)

I think an explanation of the diplomatic changes has to be the recent exploitation of shale gas which probably redraw the strategic resources map and remove many dependencies for the countries which had to depend on the world market for their industry need in fossil energy. ( or buy it to someone else ) Especially for the US who probably don't buy as much Gas to Russia anymore.

But I don't know for you guys in your respective countries ? But i feel right now there is a path in the direction of protectionism in reaction to the free world market (maybe with reason ?), at least in Europe, people seem to want more empowerment of the state too.

Anybody tried it on steam yet ? I've played some early games and i find it quite cool, somehow got me some nice BF2 vibes. Plus it's free to play, pretty much like world of tanks is.

Can't really say if that is absolute pay to win though, because i'm just on the earliest levels of the game.

Quote from killertomato

well it seems I'm in the right place then. lots of experts on the conflict I see lol

Isn't that basically the british and the allies saying after WW2 : Alright guys we don't need the colony we conquered during WW1 on the arabs, since there is a lot of jewish migrants who had to flee from europe because of the persecutions and believed the zionist nationalism that's where they need to be (but then if you are persecuted at home what would you do), we will slice the cake and now you guys sort this out together, try to be nice to each other and live in harmony, because that's not our problem anymore.

Sentura derailed the thread with class

If Colin Powell can lie to the world about iraq weapons of mass destruction at the UN to win a casus belli, imagine what you can do on the internet :x

Quote from FMPONE

That's ok Vladimir, we understand, you're a busy man

But seriously, try not to be so brainwashed. I dunno if the Russian gestapo will like break down your door and stuff if you don't worship Putin, but it's a bit ridiculous to not see he's a despot at this point. Much love from the Great Satan USA ~

Guys you are friends from mapcore, never forget it

Btw i kind of liked Borris, he had these cute round cheeks you would want to pinch and shake.

Which Vladimir unfortunately doesn't have.

Or maybe someone did an error somewhere and took the plane for what it isn't, and it all happens to be a tragic, although ironic, misunderstanding.

Well I kind of agree , anyway let's hope for Tarn Adams a social legitimacy by entering the cultural business : Dwarf Fortress will end up in school books, a city will probably name a subway station by a subtle reference to Armok : the god of blood, and his work will fuel the polemics of the avant garde generation of artists in 2456.
