You have to realize that Western tech and known-how is at the center of any of those "good at" oil and gas exporters - who can only dig at best.

- thriftwy 5y agoThat's exactly the mindset which got us all where we are now.
- sto_hristo 5y agoHow so? And it's not a mindset or an opinion, but a fact a life. They dig, they sell and that just about a summary of their existence. USSR was the same. Once the Arab countries dropped the prices for a while, the whole thing shook and broke. Russian gas is still flowing to Europe, despite the brutal sanctions. Once those pipes stop pumping it, how long until Russia itself collapses on its own? No need to engage in direct confrontation with them.
