Just want to point out there isn’t one ‘developing nation’ in Western Europe and that they’re being broken by a need for natural gas. Would we call India a developing nation: I think they’re the ones slopping up most Russian oil.

The efficiency of the oil market is amazing. If a third of the world doesn’t buy it, the other two thirds does and it is all part of the same pie. I feel like this ‘special military operation to get rid of nazis’ has taught us a lot about the interconnected nature of certain economies and how globalization has created certain third rails when it comes to war and diplomacy

That's actually true. I was mostly thinking about Ghana and the untold harm that's been caust there but you're not wrong.

Hell even with food. With Russia and Ukraine not shipping resources around its art harder for a lot more people to eat. Globalization by far is a good thing but also exposes huge weaknesses in economies and I think barring massive upheaval we won't see change.
