       | My optimism is at best minimized because very few countries that
       | were "liberated" are thriving vs most that remain in chaos or
       | deadlocked into stagnation.

       | The only upside perhaps is that China loses 70% of its oil
       | sources and that it may be hard to invade Taiwan as a result of
       | these energy shocks and reliance on Russia one that coupled with
       | economic downturn will inevitably lead to similar chaos taking
       | place in Iran.
