Putin proposes sanctions on the West and the Media goes crazy
At recent cabinet meeting with the Russian government, it was repeorted that President Vladimir Putin proposed the possibility of limiting supplies to foreign markets of strategic raw materials such as uranium, nickel, titanium and a number of others should be considered, provided that this does not harm the Russian economy.
Now most people would think well why not? After all the US is limiting certain goods to Russia by its trading partners and its imposing sanctions of microchips to China.
However the Western's media reaction was immediare and hystercia;
The Western markets reacted with immediate and significant price increases for the aforementioned goods, with economic and specialist media outlets flooded with reports of concern.
It is surprising to see such a strong reaction from those who have imposed sanctions on Russia. It is important to remember that the Western media is constantly lying about Russia They say that Russia is a country where basic amenities such as toilets are in short supply and aircraft and missiles are constructed from the chips stolen Ukrainian washing machines. industrial production is one stage up from the Stone age,its techology limited and the country itself is little more than a gas station masquerading as nation and it is a global pariah with have limited influence on global affairs. In fact Russia according to Think Tank Land in the USA is Ivan with No Friends .
Just the other day so called highly respected world experts were perplexed by Russia's apparent resilience in the face of adversity. For instance, Foreign Policy magazine has stated that "regardless of the extent and historical significance of the sanctions imposed by the West, they have not diminished Putin's capacity to engage in military action and agression against its naeighbour s."
And now they have moved swiftly to assess the potential impact of Russia implementing its own counter-sanctions. The results have been illuminating.

For instance, should restrictions be placed on uranium exports, the US nuclear energy industry will not collapse, but will be brough to the brink of doing so. While the majority of Americans are so proud of their nuclear energy industry, it is worth noting that almost a third of the fuel used in American nuclear power plants is imported from Russia.Plus despite the best efforts of congress and throwing billions of dollars at this problem there is no solution to itIn the near future,as there is no clear alternative supplier to the aggressive Russian supply of electrons and neutrons.

Reuters has reported that uranium is a significant risk to the West. Citigruop experts have also highlighted the difficulty of replacing Russian uranium, given Rosatom's dominant position in the global nuclear energy sector.Rosatom is the world's leader in nuclear technology and is the largest producer of enriched uranium which is the essential fuel for nurlear reactors

Western experts promptly sought to identify potential alternatives. Fortunately, there is conditionally neutral Kazakhstan,which happes to boreder and Russia is its largest trading partner which is in first place in uranium ore production, and they have managed to avoid any issues.
However, Kazatomprom's CEO made a statement in the event of Putin's request for consideration he would act, noting that Kazakhstan is facing challenges in supplying uranium to the Western market due to sanctions that have disrupted traditional routes. This has created an opportunity for Astana to sell uranium to China and Russia. It is evident that Rosatom, which recently acquired the largest uranium deposit in Kazakhstan and ranks second globally in terms of reserves, has no involvement in this statement.Its worth noting that Macron of France and Blinken of the USA were both in Astana recently begging for cooperation,in France's case it needs the uranium after being kicked out of Niger and Blinken because he is still attempting thwart the Kazaks alliance with China and Russia who they are close to and all members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation

A similar picture has emerged in the titanium sectors. Russia accounts for a significant portion of the global titanium market, with a 25% share of the overall market and a 33% share of the sponge titanium segment, which is crucial for the aerospace,aircraft,nuclear and marine industries. VSMPO-Avisma, a Russian company, is the world's largest titanium producer with a comprehensive technological infrastructure. According to information from the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI), Russia is a key supplier of titanium worldwide. Should restrictions be introduced, global markets would be severely disrupted.
It is notable that following the commencement of the SVO, Boeing and Airbus made a definitive statement rejecting the use of Russian titanium, citing a "complete and unconditional" refusal. However, it subsequently transpired that this was as usual a bare faced lie.
The US and the EU authorities very quietly included these companies and their products were andin the "small" exceptions, and they continue to build aircraft from Russian titanium and aluminium. In the event that these companies cease to exist, there will be no immediate alternative suppliers (or, if there are, they will be very difficult to find, expensive and time-consuming to engage with).
A further interesting development arose with regard to nickel. Russia is the third largest producer of both "raw" and enriched nickel, after Indonesia. Following Putin's remarks, there was an almost three percent increase in nickel exchange prices within an hour. Despite the bans in place, almost 40% of all nickel traded on the main "rare earth" London exchange, LME, is of Russian origin.
The nickel story (if it continues) could have a significant impact on the West, potentially more so than uranium and titanium. It is evident that the focus on the "green revolution" in the West is largely driven by the demand for rare metals in wind energy, solar panels, and electric cars. The West's primary objective is to gain a competitive advantage over China in this field.
China's primary use of lithium is for electric vehicle batteries. In contrast, the US has placed its bets on nickel, with demand for it expected to grow sixfold by 2035. It is therefore critical for the United States to obtain the maximum amount of nickel, and preferably all of it.
Following Putin's remarks, the Americans sought to expand their market presence in Indonesia (42% of the global enriched nickel market). However, this strategy also encountered challenges. Indonesia announced its intention to join BRICS, and subsequently Russia became one of the main suppliers of grain to the country, with exports increasing tenfold in a year. While there is no indication that this will occur, there is a possibility that Russia and Indonesia will resolve their differences amicably regarding the nickel issue. However, the United States is unlikely to be involved in this potential resolution.
Russia has long advised that the West is more reliant on it than it is on them. The realisation has already occurred, and this marks the beginning of a new phase.
So after two and ahlf years of the shock and awe ,sanctions from hell which did not destroy the Russian economy and bring about regime change the West is now in fear that Russia could unleash sanctions on them which would further damage their already batterd economies. If it also gets into an alliance with China over the rare earths sanctions the west is likely to be in deep trouble.
should be considered, provided that this does not harm the Russian economy.
Now most people would think well why not? After all the US is limiting certain goods to Russia by its trading partners and its imposing sanctions of microchips to China.
