Re: Wannabe NATO member on war path (none / 0)
True. But there's a long shot from a temporary oil shock to WWIII. The former I can live with. The latter... not so much.

It doesn't take much of a "temporary oil shock" to send struggling economies into a tailspin.

And in countries like China, Indonesia, and Iran maintaining subsidies for gas will be hard, and without them there's bound to be a lot of civil unrest.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
