I'm also curious about the specifics of leaderboard scoring so @k00b @ek is there somewhere I can find information on the matter?
You cannot blame just like that based on gut feel and side consequences - weren't "innocent until proving the opposite" the main motto of westerner "democratic" laws? 🤔
Anyway, at least we have an agreement on who is the biggest gainer economically but maybe there's another aspect politically which we haven't yet exercised... (will leave it for other time)
Despite being a believer, opposite of your atheism, I can partially agree with you that we, humans, tend to believe we're kind of special (just because the consciousness which we cannot even study or fully explain) and have certain privileges which are nothing but imaginary.
But in the same time, in some sense, I also believe that this exact consciousness (in the developed state we currently posses it) is the key phenomena that truly brings us apart from any other living creatures we know, have studied or observed.
China's significant gains because of northstream sabotage is a undoubtedly a fact which I can't disagree but my point the whole time was to convince you it was just a consequence not the main reason - let alone them being the perpetrator of the act...
A quick questions:
-
Am I supposed to receive a notification if my post is downzapped?
-
Can some downzaps disqualify you from the leaderboard because I suspect this is what's just happened for me with today's leaderboard?
In response, Iran and Russia have redirected oil shipments to China—the world’s largest importer of crude oil. In 2023, China saved a reported ten billion dollars by purchasing crude oil from sanctioned countries such as Iran and Russia.
This is not from yesterday - Russia, China and Iran have trading relationships for ages + what's wrong of other countries to trade in whatever prices with whatever currencies they want? Maybe because they are "unlawfully" bypassing "westerners" causing them to lose money?
Oil revenue is a lifeline for the Iranian and Russian economies, but Western sanctions have jeopardized both countries’ ability to ship oil and receive payments.
Western sanctions are nothing but a weapon in the hands of a bullie. With all my respect but who do westerners think they are to be in a position to sanction anybody? Are they some sort of a high spirit or God? And for what? Starting a war? Hypocrisy to it's finest! Aren't the US the country that is causing (directly or indirectly the highest number or coups and wars worldwide?
Other popular "westerner" hoax is that Russia is the aggressor who is very dangerous because of the high chance of using nuclear weapons... shut up, another hypocrisy by US because it's them who history proves to be the only aggressor who ever dared to drop nukes over innocent people on the opposite side of the globe without even being threatened at all - just for fun!
Lol, do you really think China is the only county in the world that needs gas?
Forgive my naivety but I've only heard of cases that businesses and whole industries die because of the lack of suppliers and not the vise versa...
