it costs nothing to fill your car up there but people cant afford their groceries, google what a big mac costs there..

I can assure you if another source runs out they will lift these sanctions

its always about the $$$

whilst the rich cities are buying EVs the poor ones are still filled with 2 strokes and old busses.
In exactly the same way when cars were first produced the poor couldn't afford them and continued to ride horses.
The demise and replacement of the ICE is inevitable and is happening now. I don't know what the tipping point is for the sceptics but industry, banks, car makers and governments are making the change already.
Grab onto random and tenuous reasons to deny that change is already happening or move with the times.
It's a bit like the Mabo native title deniers and haters who said we'd all lose our houses or backyards.
I'll say it again: people are terrified of change and become irrational with their fears and claims about it
