"WFH worked well in 2020" People need people, people aren't as dynamic when confined to silos. By all means work from home a few days a week but the exchange of ideas in a communal space is also important. | |||

"Meanwhile, China eyes Taiwan and we're about to experience the rise of the Chinese empire " I've been thinking this for a few years, given China's expansionist actions in the S China Sea and overt claim on Taiwan. Making a move while the US is occupied elsewhere would make perfect strategic sense for them. | |||

Making a move while the US is occupied elsewhere would make perfect strategic sense for them. " Not only this but China invest in foreign aid, they call it the belt and road initiative. Countries will owe them a lot, they've built roads and ports throughout Asia and Africa. Another thing the right have got wrong, investing in other countries not only bought us influence, it kept us safe through keeping other countries stable. Our loss is China and Russia's gain | |||

"The rulers in Iran are not the nicest people but they have kept going far longer than the US and Israel anticipated. If the Iranians start bombing water desalination plants in the Gulf the house of cards will become very precarious. " No one is defending the Ayatollahs! It's a disgusting repressive regime. However, if you're going to bomb one of the most oppressive regimes known to man. You better make sure you've got a plan for both regime change and the Strait of Hormuz! Instead we've got a weak president listening to 40 year old fever dreams of an equal nutter called netenyahu | |||

He knows fucking everything though" Pretty sure this was aimed at me not you Neath! I comment on posts I'm sure of my stuff, or have an opinion, the same as others. Where I'm not sure I say, "I think, pretty sure, I heard, or the equivalent " There's hundreds of posts on here I do not comment on because I have no interest! I understand you dislike my position on life but it is a legitimate position and it exists. Try seeking acceptance of others | |||

" Yep, and they'll have first call on the mineral and energy resources from all those countries too. No surprise that China's now the world leader in EVs. Lithium and cobalt etc will be the new crude oil pretty soon. | |||

I understand why people do it but choosing what you like or dislike and commenting on it out of context disterbs me. But you are correct, it's another avenue the right are trying to march is down! Oil will play a role in life during my lifetime, it's in plastics, clothes, even medicine!! However, trying to move away is the best option for energy independence, and slowly find solutions for other things in the future. | |||

"Can we all take a second, I haven't heard rationing mentioned for Britain (as of yet). I'm fairly convinced (famous last words) it won't come to this. Trump will chicken out. He can't stomach a global recession with oil at or clos to $200 a barrel " "Nick Butler, ex-head of strategy at BP and a former advisor to Labour PM Gordon Brown, warned: “There will be a real, physical shortage of supply in a few weeks’ time" - Google is your friend | |||

"The Iranians are definitely going to push Trump to his limits (TACO), will he obliterate their power plants if they don't open up Hormuz?" Yeah it's interesting, I can't make up my mind. I personally think he will TACO because he's being increasingly isolated and the world will face recession because of him and netenyahu if oil goes to $200 a barrel. What have the Iranians got to loose? | |||

Iran produce oil so bombing them would contribute to the nightmare $200 a barrel. Iran have him over a barrel | |||

" I neither like not dislike what you said, and went to the effort of snipping dead wood out of my quote as the crucial point was Belt & Road, and my opinion is that China has been very canny investing in mineral-rich but cash-poor countries, knowing what the payback will be. | |||
