Yet another war, this time with Iran

[aupmanyav]

Who would you rather swung around their imperial dick smashing you in the face, China's or USA's? China has actual concentration camps.

Neither, India will remain non-aligned. We are better equipped than Iran to face any imperial dick (and will be stronger in future).

@TV and credit cards, Modi is managing India's affairs well. Iran war has not affected us in any significant way.

We'll stop Iran no matter what you have to pay!

“For the second time in less than five years, Europeans are paying the price of Europe’s dependency on imported fossil fuels,” the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said in a statement detailing the measures.

The bloc has spent an additional €24 billion ($28 billion) on energy imports since the start of the war due to higher prices – or more than $587 million a day – “without receiving a single extra molecule of energy,” it added.

And the goods.

Businesses and households could also be hit by soaring prices for plastics and detergents. Germany’s BASF, one of the world’s largest chemicals makers, has hiked prices for everything from formic acid, used in animal feed, to homecare products – in some cases by more than 30%.

....

Vital materials could also soon be in short supply. Last month, the UK government temporarily restarted a mothballed bioethanol plant to shore up supplies of carbon dioxide, which is critical to healthcare and the production of some foodstuffs. A spike in natural gas prices caused by the war has disrupted EU fertilizer production, making imports of CO2, a byproduct of that process, less readily available.

Airlines are cutting flights to save fuel, some in the sense of expense, some in the sense of supply.

US turns to Ukrainian counter-drone tech after Iran attacks

The deployment of a Ukrainian command-and-control platform called ‌Sky Map at Prince Sultan Air Base, which has not previously been reported, is a sign of how Ukraine’s military has surged ahead in drone and counter-drone technologies that have been battle-hardened in its four-year war with Russia.

The development comes a month after President Donald Trump publicly rejected an offer from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to provide help in combating Iranian drone strikes. “We don't need their help in drone defense,” Trump told Fox News on March 6.
