Sorry, chinabots.

Looks like USFK won’t get replaced by the People’s Liberation Army for another year, at least.

Between that and disruption with the domestic communists, it’s a dark day for the economic central planners.

USFK won’t get replaced by the People’s Liberation Army for another year

Ah yes, it seems the Russiabot wants to replace the USFK with the PLA.

The true intention of our Russiabot has been revealed!

“Ah yes, it seems the Russiabot wants to replace the USFK with the PLA.”

Just because you string all the buzzwords together doesn’t mean you create a legitimate statement.

…though if you change the buzzwords, you might be able to write a textbook on critical race theory.

“Ah yes, it seems the cicgender white male wants to replace the equitable diversity with the systemic patriarchy.”

Texas oil companies buying oil tankers, LNG tankers, semi-submersibles etc from Geojedo and Ulsan.

The Deep State Gang of Four: Bill, George Jnr, Barry and Joe colluding to sucker Putin into building pipelines to Western Europe using Texan companies and Texan technicians.

Bravo, Rio Bravo.

Putin is now stuck with enpty pipelines to Western Europe and no way of getting his oil and gas to China and India except by sea.

How fast can China build tankers? Not fast enough.

Many Texans making the big bucks from Putin’s folly.

Come and listen to the story about a man named Head

A very wealthy barkeep, kept his family well fed,

And then one day he was shootin’ at some food,

And up through the ground came a bubblin’ crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea

Stephen, I would like to gloat with you but, sadly, I don’t get much satisfaction by gloating over fantasy brought on by wishful thinking.

I have attached a map of Russian-dominated pipelines that supply Europe.

You might notice that Nordstream plays a much smaller roll than the western media would like everyone to believe.

America is selling energy to Europe at prices above what they payed Russia. Yeah! But they are still buying Russian gas… at prices above what they used to pay Russia, though everyone alone those other pipelines gets a cut.

Remeber, the losers of the Ukraine war are going to be Ukraine and Europe. The winners will be Russia and America and BlackRock.

Stephen, for the second part of your gloating, be aware that Russia is delivering energy to China via the Power of Siberia (the Nordstream of eastern Russia).

They are currently working on a trans-Russian pipeline to connect the European-side network with the Chinese-side network.

Europe will keep buying America energy at high prices and Russian energy through other nations at high prices.

This is good for Russia.

This is good for America in the short-term. We will see if deindustrializing Europe and encouraging cheap energy to China is a good long-term plan.

Spoken like a true Russiabot.

No doubt that setnaffa is pro-Russia.

It turns out, when something is good for Russia but you tell everybody who hates them that it is actually bad so they don’t pay attention, you are actually giving Russia a hookup.

Perhaps I am sabotaging the whole thing by talking about it but probably not.

You can’t do anything about it. You can’t even recognize it.

Everyone who can do something about it is ignoring it.

All this means is that the SK’s exports to China have collapsed due to all the US sanctions and restrictions on South Korea. The real numbers tell the story. SK’s trade deficit has risen highest of all time. Remember, SK for decades, had massive trade surpluses year after year, until only a couple of years ago when Yoon administration came to power and he decided to blow up all the good relations with all the countries to satisfy his Uncle Sam. This is at the same time when US exports to China and US trade with China have all increased to an all time. In other words, Yoon fell into the US trap to eliminate their competition (supposedly their allies) so that they could take all the business from China. Of course, this replaced South Korea’s trade with China, while SK’s sales figures to the US have remained pretty much the same as the years before.

That big ol’ pipeline through the Hindu Kush to New Delhi.

How’s that coming along?

Stephen, you made 3 points.

– Putin can’t get gas to Europe
– Putin can’t get gas to China
– Putin can’t get gas to india

The first two were quite easy to disprove.

Europe is still buying Russian gas, but at a price that supports all the middlemen on alternative routes.

China is buying Russian gas through an eastern pipeline network. Capacity is growing and the eastern and western networks will be connected soon.

Let’s look at your third point.

Turkmenistan has a developed pipeline system and, technically, this is easy to extend to India. It would just take the agreement of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are not ageeable countries. And India probably shouldn’t trust Pakistan.

Your third point doesn’t seem to recognize that different tools have different jobs.

There is a 40% shorter and 30% cheaper route between india and Russian energy. It isn’t ready yet, but necessity is the mother of hurrying up.

The need for energy is a good motivator.

While there are all sorts of (expected) difficulties in moving energy around the world, none of them are big enough roadblocks to overcome the desire for energy.

In the end, too soon to laugh.

Persian Corridor

What is the name of the transport corridor initiated by Fanklin Delano Roosevelt to supply the Soviet Union with tens of thousands of Deuce and a Halfs?

Please give me my five dollars.
