Putin in public comments yesterday stated the sanctions to be placed by NATO is more damaging to Russia.
He admitted if NATO imposed the sanctions they are threatening that it would damage Russia in ways he never anticipated even with his own effort for economic allies.
President Biden and NATO countries have been victorious now knowing that their economic threats are taken seriously by Putin. It is probably now that the peace process regarding Ukraine and Russia can be most successful since it is the only method open to Putin to end current economic measures, prevent any others and open the potential of Third World Russia to move back into a global economy.
I think President Biden has a peace initiative before him that few expected, but, are glad it is while securing the Post-Soviet countries into their sovereign and peaceful status. This is definately a victory. It is time to move forward with peace, nuclear disarmament globally and begin a whole Earth economy that will reverse the climate crisis.
Russia (click here) has the largest amounts of leaking methane. It is Siberian area that is opening up once frozen holes into the Earth that is leaking. Those have to be closed and can be closed.
The United States of America has no pride in this matter. There are enormous leaks especially along pipelines that ultimately delivers to consumers that sometimes brings about dangerous explosions of methane leaks. Among the most expensive leaks occurred in Massachusetts as the leaking methane simply kept moving down the pipeline and exploding home after home after home.
...“It is widely known that the self-reported country estimates are not the highest quality,” said Tia Scarpelli, leader of the effort and a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Edinburgh. “Our maps provide researchers with a spatial representation of methane emissions so that they can be compared with observations of methane concentrations from satellites.” Such maps are critical for monitoring changes in greenhouse gas emissions because the data tell scientists where to look and where to expect the most emissions....
It is time country leaders come to terms with what is important. Ending the climate crisis is paramount to any other issue this Earth faces. Democracy in Russia is welcome and Putin needs to allow it to happen naturally. The pandemic needs to end. There is only one method shown to be capable of ending the pandemic and that is shutdowns of movement of people. Currently, there are deer being tested around the USA for the spread of COVID as well. Those results are proving that animals contract the virus due to similar capacities of their bodies in relation to the functions of people.
The former president of the USA has brought about this pandemic and it is up to the current president to bring about leadership to end the pandemic. Ending movement does not mean ending the economy either. It is time we recognize our connectedness with all people on Earth and bring about a reversal of circumstances caused by the fossil fuel industry. The last thing Earth needs now to sustain life on it, is a foolish war based in ideology. There is no ideology that is welcome as a priority in the world. The only method going forward with any economy is the NEW focus of eliminating overly abundant greenhouse gases from Earth's troposphere.
President Biden has won the war against Russia and it is time to allow peace to bring about a stable planet as well as highly sustainable economies without fossil fuels.
