Russia is getting its ass kicked. I don't listen to these guys anymore--Martyanov, Macgregor, Ritter. They're fucking blind to what's going on.

Putin is sending these young conscripts to die for no reason. Terrible. He doesn't want to fight and win. Zelensky should have been taken out a long time ago. Russia's military operation is pathetic. Where is the air support? Nothing. A disaster.

He’s going after the food supply Mike… they are getting control of the territory…

OPEC+ on the way out with advent of EVs and PHEVs…. What product can they then use to apply coercion?

Food… they always have to have some critical product to leverage…

EVs and EV infrastructure require fossil fuels.

Most of the world's primary energy consumption is met by oil, gas and coal.

Renewables have a long way to go.
