It concerns me just how interconnected much of our life now is and how all this could collapse like a pack of cards.
Much electricity in the UK is produced from gas. Without gas, less heating , less electricity. Less electricity less travel as fewer traffic lights. Less electricity less delivery, less food. Less pumping affecting water and sewage.
I am not a fan of isolationism but if the intention is to reduce this interdependency I have some sympathy.
One way of reducing this interdependency is large trading blocks such as the EU, China, Russia and the USA. Basically trading within the blocks adds a degree of security.
Outside large trading blocks we become very vulnerable.
