Oil

How does the world depend on the US for oil? As in crude oil?

Oh! Please! The US vassals allies in Asia aren't dependent on her for oil, it is the world? The US even imports a lot of oil from Canada and Mexico. So, it is safe to say the US is dependent on her neighbours for oil, NOT the WORLD being dependent on the US for oil. Oil wey full everywhere

Yes , US imports oil but those corps that are in charge of drilling and other stuffs are American owned corps

It's like Congo manufacturing lithium but it's run by Chinese mercenaries

If you like, restrict yourself from enjoying the beauty of human diversity because of your prejudice, na you sabi.

As for me, even Afghanistan, and North Korea, I'll like visit am, as far my safety is guaranteed. Having said that, let me enjoy my life mr man.

And more on Kazakhstan, it's very welcoming. I felt like a superstar, all my time there. Girls are rushing you since you're a novelty there, boys wants to be your friend.

I went to a liveband where a Nigerian guy that speaks perfect Kazakh performs with his Kazakh band. He is so forking wealthy, as evidenced by the car he came with.

He plays for the higher echelon on the Kazakh society, and he feels at home there. So you'll expect him to return back to Nigeria abi, make naija deal with him wotowoto

Twenty years ago for example, people warn others from going to places like Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine etc, that they are skin heads and so on. But I can start listing Nigerian men that went there during those times.

Many are politicians, business men, and are well established there. The West is too saturated, you can be successful anywhere if you're useful.

I could have start naming some companies in places like Poland, where I met many successful Nigerians that have lived there for decades. I did my intenship in an insurance firm owned by a calabar man in Katowice, Poland. The

His son also owned an English school there. It's not difficult to meet them. Go to these countries and try to locate a rccg church there, meet the pastors, and he will connect you with the Nigerian/African community there.

So bro, don't restrict yourself. This life is wide and bigger than the West. The world is a beautiful places. Have an open mind, and you'll enjoy it. I pride myself from having friends in almost any corner on earth. That's an asset.

Omo! Nicely put. Well done boss

The bold is not true. The US has enough oil reserves, but climate change politics by the Democrats has hindered its exploration. Under Trump, there were lots of drilling. Even now, the US produces more oil than ever before. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-crude-output-rise-record-1276-mln-bpd-2023-eia-2023-08-08/

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66873495

The beginning of dumping of Ukraine has begun. Which country is next?

Not entirely true. Poland is against grains from Ukraine being exported into the EU because the prices are low, which affects the sales of Polish farmers. Poland still houses Ukrainian refugees and accepts weapons from other countries on behalf of Ukraine. Also, she has to replenish the weapons she has distributed to Ukraine since. The headline is quite deceptive.

Nevertheless, if the war continues till next year and a Republican wins (say Trump), many Westerners will get tired. Energy prices are increasing. Putin and Co just need to maintain the tempo. Reading that Ukraine bombed a major Russian military base means no side would want to down without a fight.

What's the situation, please?
I'm tired of following the war news and I hear Russia is giving up territories?

Gerrard59:
So, India's External Affairs Minister said the West is not the bad guy as portrayed by most people. The West is not the one flooding Africa and Asia with goods on a massive scale. The world is more complex than just the West being the bad guys, and the developing world, obviously being the good guys.

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/in-veiled-dig-at-china-s-jaishankar-says-west-not-the-bad-guy-because-2437001-2023-09-18

_{The phrase flooding Africa and Asia with goods on a massive scale hints it is China. Within the past few months, the West has been engaged in a bromance with Modi and India as a country. Notwithstanding that the US sanctioned the same Modi until he became president, and Obama rescinded the sanctions. In a bid to "contain" China, the West has entered into many alliances with countries surrounding China. Whether India will succumb to this newfound friendship is yet to be seen. I recall this same external minister was one of the major voices opposing the belief that everyone should stand with Europe because of Ukraine's rancour, saying, "Europe has to grow out of mindset that Europe's problems are world's problems".
I wonder what necessitated the change in tune.}

LordAdam did say the Indians wish to benefit from the West just as China did, which I perfectly agree with and understand. But it would be stoopid of them (India's elites) to think they would not experience the same animosity China is facing if/when she (India) grows as big and influential as China.

So the Canadian prime minister has accused India of being behind the murder of a Canadian citizen - Hardeep Singh Nijjar - who India labelled a terrorist for seeking to create a country - Khalistan - dominated by Sikhs. So, the story is that Canada nose-poke into Indian affairs. First, Trudeau criticised the farming reforms by Modi, whereas Modi never said anything when the Canadian government quelled protests by its own farmers. Then, offering cover to people India says are advocating for secession in a religious heterogeneous India. Going back in time, Trudeau's father offered asylum to the bomber of Air India where over 200 people died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_India_Flight_182

To narrate it in a Nigerian setting: Lots of Igbos emigrated to Canada during the '70s, and became influential, growing to 2% of the total population, with a leader of the NDP (an opposition party), which is a coalition member in Trudeau's junior government. There have been growing calls for the creation of a Biafran State, which the Nigerian government does not tolerate. So, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is killed in Canada, and Trudeau junior goes on air to say the Nigerian government is behind his death WITHOUT clearly strong proof of evidence to support the claim. This gets Nigeria angry and retaliated by cancelling visas for Canadian citizens who want to visit Nigeria. Also, both parties expelled intelligence diplomats.

Back to India: So Western governments are confused about how to manage the situation because they have positioned India as a country to "contain" China. Western media have been on a rampage, accusing Modi of being "intolerant", "a bigot", and "illiberal". Indians, in return, have criticised the West head-on by defending India's policies and Modi. This gets the West pissed off that the country they wish could contain China is not toeing the line they created.

Compared to MBS of Saudi Arabia's alleged killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent journalist in the US (Washington Post), this happened on Western soil. Also, Sikhs have quite an influence in Canada, and Indians (of all religions and cultural groups) make up 3.7% of the total population. Some Sikhs have even said Hindus should leave Canada. Some commentaries I have read by Westerners say India would be like China and probably even worse. India just wants to use Western technology and access to Western markets to improve itself, and once that is achieved, it will be as bossy as China.

Their wish is not going as planned.

In all of this, the West risks soiling its relationship with India and has already soiled it with China and Russia. One said the West should look elsewhere. I wonder where. Certainly not South East Asia as some are wary, and just like India, need the technology and access to market. India is not going to back down notwithstanding the hordes of her diasporans in the West and the colonial relationship with Britain.

To summarise, "The West has a problem with China, and now it has a problem with India too. Perhaps the problem lies with the West itself."

Exploring the Advantages of SLA 3D Printing in China

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share my thoughts on SLA 3D Printing in China. It's an amazing technology that's making waves in the manufacturing industry. SLA stands for Stereolithography, and it's a super precise way to make 3D objects. In China, this tech is booming, and it's changing the game for rapid prototyping and custom parts.

If you're curious about SLA 3D Printing in China or have any questions, feel free to ask. Let's discuss this exciting innovation together!

A lot of Western industries suffers due to their senseless sanctions.

Another one is the aviation industry. After Russia bans their airspace in retaliation to EU banning their airspace to Russian's aircraft.

EU airlines can't fly directly from Europe to Asia any more, since Russia is the country you fly through, to access Asia from Europe.

They have to turn and maneuver a country over half the size of Africa, just to enter Asia.

Europe's population (America's greatest ally) and, in fact, all of America's allies have rapidly declining birth rates which affect GDP growth, consumption and investment. They use immigration to offset this problem, but in reality, immigration does not solve the birth decline. It only solves population crises. For instance, in the '90s, Germany imported Turks to work in factories and bolster the workforce. Today, the same Germany is inviting immigrants, mostly from Arabian countries, to replace ageing workers. Additionally, Europe's immigration problems are social in nature. Even though I am an immigrant where I am, I don't believe in an open-door immigration system as the Europeans do, especially from cultures which are in stark difference from the native ones. So Europe, like Japan and Korea, would face severe demographic problems. However, Europe's own would be worse because the migrants have distinctive cultures, and Europe is abut to the world's poorest continent.

In some ways, I see it as karma after all the Europeans divided Africa for their spoils. So, they should benefit from the current invasion just as they did to Africa. Also, since they have blatantly refused to appropriately aid Africa's industrialisation just as they did with East Asia and now with South East Asia, anything they see, they should take it like that.

The Swedish Prime Minister called the army to help combat the gang wars in the country. The majority of the perpetrators are second generation immigrants who work with the recent migrants the country accepted enmass. It will only get worse as the continent is faced with low birth rates, restrictive immigration policies and being abut to the world's poorest continent.

You go think say na Colombia the article dey describe.

The advanced chip by Huawei has gotten policymakers in the US to be apprehensive, unlike what their supporters on Reddit parrot. The Commerce Secretary has even stated more sanction tools will be explored to further clamp down on the industry in China. Meanwhile, a member of one mumbo-jumbo think-tank has outlined ways for the US to ban Chinese EVs from the American market. As I suggested earlier, Chinese EVs makers should shun the US market and focus on Europe and other parts of the world. Good thing BYD is investing in Brazil and Geely in Malaysia. Flood those highly populated markets with EVs such that Western automakers would be on the backfoot when they realise their folly the same way they opposed development in EVs.

Advocating for policies to stem the tide of Chinese EVs into the US market: https://archive.md/SgZZC (free-to-read)

Within the week, Indonesia inaugurated its first high speed railway, and the first in the region - South East Asia. Just as it is in Nigeria, DRC, and Zambia, so is it elsewhere. While others get military bases and LGTV policies, China delivers world-class infrastructure to the rest of the developing world at affordable rates. Indonesia had to choose between Japan and China, and went with the latter - it got delivered with alacrity save for Covid. Meanwhile, the deal between the Japanese and Indians is yet to kickstart due to pressing issues. China agreed to transfer technical know-how to the Indonesians, Japanese did not.

I interned at a Japanese pharmaceutical company recently. While discussing the case study presented and possible entry into Africa, I told the Chinese employees that the so-called trade war between China and the US is because the West envy China's growth and is angry that China is not succumbing to threats and bullying, which they agreed. Also, unlike Westerners, the Chinese are very pragmatic - we do business and everyone goes home happy. That has been the reception I get when I discuss with the Chinese - we do business, make money and go home happy.

China has economic issues they must solve, and hopefully, it is done quickly and smoothly. On the other hand, in this semiconductor chip industry, I see them winning the war. During my usual reading, I came across an article where a former Samsung executive, now a politician, complained that the US is being selfish by dictating that South Korean manufacturers who have invested billions of dollars into factories and development centres across China have to let go of the market just to satisfy the so-called trade war against China. One could sense the frustration and agony from her words, but knowing that South Korea cannot say no to her master, one could sense the subservience. In her words, “If [Washington] continues to try to punish other nations and to pass bills and implement ‘America First’ policies in an unpredictable manner, other countries could form an alliance against the US,” Yang told the Financial Times in an interview.
“The US is the strongest nation in the world,” she added. “It should consider more of humanity’s common values. Appearing to use its strength as a weapon is not desirable.”

When we say na vassals, not allies, e get why. Why strangulate your ally's ability to serve a large market while you invest billions into your manufacturers, then prevent others from benefitting from the largesse? Chipmaker's executives in South Korea cannot do without the Chinese market, they will be done for it. And the day China succeeds at it, that is the end - semiconductor chips will turn to pure water. Just as the South Koreans are not happy about the whole issue, the Germans are too not happy because they know the importance of China to the German's economy. But Anglo-Saxons will disagree. They even accused the South Korean politician of being sponsored by China. Envy no good o

A wise man will not interfere in problems that will taken care of itself if he just wait. This is why they say that patience is a virtue. All these US hegemonic behavior will melt away as the years goes by.

BRICS have set the ball rolling. The Chinese are the only people in the world that are so United, have the UN complete industrial system classification (no other country have it), more populated than the collective west.

World single largest domestic market. Loved all around the world (except the West), since they don't go around bombing and destroying countries, while preaching democracy, LGTV, and freedom.

China has it at it national focus to be completely independent in all technological areas. The china technological output of today started during the cultural revolution carried out by Mao. China is the country with the best formula to destroy imperialism.

They hate imperialism there with all the fiber of their being. For example, the speech Mao gave during the founding of the PRC in 1949 was focus on how the KMT was a puppet of the West and have brought unimaginable sufferings to the Chinese people.

And he promised the Chinese people that no single inch of external forces will have foreign Influence on Chinese soil. Also, china is the only country where American embassy is not guarded by the American military.

In other parts of the world, the US Embassy have its soldiers stationed there, even in Nigeria. The idea that foreign forces will import their military/weapon in Chinese soil is something the Chinese will never accept.

If you read about all the harsh terrains the Chinese travel to all around the world to build infrastructures, their resilience is out of this world. Those that don't respect the Chinese don't actually know them. The more you know about them, the more you not only respect, but fear them.

So in a nutshell, some problems don't need reaction. Patience and time will solve it on its own. Short of war, there is no way I can think of that the US can hurt the Chinese. No way. They've tried everything from trade war, sanctions, media propaganda etc, none works.

All the Chinese need to do is just wait. The people of the world are not stupid. They can think for themselves. And the more the US keep trying to bring others down instead of compete, it will sink itself down.

It is her colonies(Africa) that'll suffer should any global event doesn't go along their path.

Just look at COVID, UK lost a lot of health operational to this, but have been quickly and stealthily replaced by those from Africa.

So far Africa still exist, the West has got no problem for any incoming global event.

And these colonies(Africa) will continue to remain under their master(West) for God knows when.

Little wonder why during the so called "independence" era in Africa, new leaders who didn't agree with this new colonial arrangement were either murdered, or overthrown- likes of Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure etc. Most of our leaders today are puppets backed by the colonialists to do their bidding in Africa. France's relationship with her "former" colonies is an OVERT manifestation of this arrangement, while for other foreign colonialists, more subtle. Is there anyone who truly believe that France, and their colonial allies wanted Bazoum to remain in power because they really love democracy? LOL!
