US > Iran conflict begins

You underestimate China's readiness for renewable energies. They have thought this through.
How many years would it take for China to achieve total energy independence through renewables alone?


edit: readiness is one thing, logistics is another. Let's not confuse the two, please.

Words can lie, numbers don't.

The same thing happened to Germany when Europe officially cut off hydrocarbon trade with Russia; it’s designed to create financial panic.

(Though a clarification is needed: European cargo ships are still bypassing sanctions by rounding Cape North, reaching Russia, and unloading in the Mediterranean. They simply turn off their transponders to legally evade international sanctions).

Australia has just signed a free trade agreement with Europe... In Europe, we are fortunate that our primary energy partners are North African. Our dependence on the Middle East is relative.

50% of Iranians are actually happy to see this system collapsing. Imagine defending a nation like Iran, which kills 50,000 of its own children for protesting. Anyone defending such a system should ask themselves: 'What if it were my sister in that square?' or 'Why didn't I have the courage to stand up for my rights?'

Ultimately, the civilian population cares about 'quiet living,' much like in Venezuela. If they must live oppressed and robbed of their natural resources by a dictatorial system, they might as well live under a regime that guarantees more privileges.
