"The tug of war between Europe and the biggest buyers in North Asia caused the price of LNG to soar, and contributed to a quadrupling of European benchmark gas prices between the start of 2022 and late August. Thailand paid twice as much for LNG supplies in June as it had a year before. For some buyers, prices were out of reach. Emerging economies in South Asia such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were having to turn more to fuel oil, which is more carbon-intensive, to produce electricity, intensifying pollution and compromising efforts to contain global warming. Pakistan’s government triggered rolling blackouts and boosted power bills, while shops in Bangladesh were closing earlier as part of energy austerity measures."
Yes, Peterson is a clinical psychologist and he has asked a question that you dodged with the joker in the CC deck, i.e., how do you propose to beat Putin while he holds more nukes than the west by a long shot and does not restrict his thinking with any semblance of western ideological restraint. Before he invaded Ukraine, probably in January - you can search, I posted my opinion that in general we in the west have no concept of the pain that the Russian people will withstand if they for two seconds think that mother Russia is in peril.
You might want to read a bit about what Germany faced on its eastern front during WWII and what the Soviets did with their own armed forces. I see that some of those same tactics have been used in Ukraine. BTW, the government has the guns, not so much the populace, so it is highly unlikely that you will see an upheaval of rioting over conscription call-ups that could topple Putin.
Here is a link that you might try to weave into the fabric of your sweaters for CC analysis.
