It was obvious to anyone with a cranial capacity greater than a macaque that it was the USA that did this, but unfortunately those who voiced their opinion were shouted down as tin-foil hatters and conspiracy theorists.
Next folks will be surprised and outraged that Pfizer were milking the covid cash cow for all its worth, and conducting "directed evolution" research, with their ONLY concern the bottom line profits for the company, and no actual regard for human health..... oh wait......! Funny how THAT story gets buried, and no doubt this one will be also.
I'm no conspiracy theorist either, but people need to start realising that the people who are making these huge geo-political decisions, and those that run hyper-scale pharma companies, simply are NOT your friends, and more than likely are straying into the realms of psychopathy with their scant regard for the common person.
I think this was a shocking thing for the US to do, and simply gives its enemies even more reason to hate them.
My personal opinion is we should have never cut off the russian gas supply, but simply forced the unit price so low, that it was almost free like happened in Russia internally. We could have avoided all the recessions and panicked price rises and grotesque profiteering, and STILL forward planned to wean the EU off Russian supplies, and not crippled our economies and output in the process.
The sanctions seem to have made bugger all difference in the grand scheme of things so far.
