Someone on this forum recommended Peter Zeihan's The End of the World is Just the Beginning, a book about the unraveling of (American-led) Globalism. This seems to me like the next inch towards that reality.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoSignificant increase in yuan or euro based settlement would represent an unraveling, this is primarily a utility for India to streamline Russian energy imports.
- jmoak3 4y agoI agree with the first half, but I'm under the impression that streamlining Russian energy imports means that the USA's ability to exert soft power is weakened, which is a smallllll step toward unraveling of the US-led world order. IMO, every day that Russia continues to function is a signal that there is blood in the water: that other countries can once again pursue aggression.
- bamboozled 4y agoEveryday India imports Russian oil it comes closer to helping the end of civilisation as we know it and probably the end of India in sooner time. Look at the insane heatwaves they’ve had this year. Climate crisis is real.
- ksquarekumar 4y agoAs opposed to buying US oil, which would not have these same repercussions? What are you on about?
- bamboozled 4y agoIt's about buying any oil and how it's a stupid thing to keep doing and spending time on.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agofwiw, there are pretty decent EVs hitting the Indian market. Car: https://nexonev.tatamotors.com https://nexonev.tatamotors.com (~22,000$ before tax) Scooter: https://www.atherenergy.com https://www.atherenergy.com (~1,700$ before tax) Most private drivers aren't doing hundreds of KMs per day so these lower cost models could help accelerate adoption. There isn't as much hesitation about switching from gasoline since it was never super cheap nor did they have much of a Truck Yeah! culture
