Gonzalo ain’t right. He’s basically lying.
The UK is barely affected. France is more affected and Germany the most.
However even in Germany’s case the biggest hit is energy, not food. It can gi back to coal and be self sufficient.
As to Russia going on its own, it doesn’t have the tools to continue drilling and extract and does not have the technical knowledge to continue
“does not have the technical knowledge to continue”
I’m sure some Russian students studied petroleum extraction in the USA and asked their professors (who consulted on the side) a lot of questions.
Russia copied British jet engines to make engines for MIG-15s.
The Russians can copy drill bits.
“go back to coal”
Europe does not lack enviro-whackos.
*** The UK is barely affected.***
I am in a lot of groups with UK citizens. A few months ago, many were complaining they could not afford to heat their homes,or cook meals, except in their microwaves. That bundling up in their “woolies” was not sufficient.
Shortages in their stores- Most of the people in those groups are not pensioners or working class. They are educators, and academics, authors, artists in paint, sculpture, fabric, etc.
It’s odd as I always viewed many as somewhat of a privileged class immune from these types of woes.
