Russian energy firm Gazprom has told Poland and Bulgaria it will stop sending gas to the two countries from today. Whatever they're doing, they should just not switch to Nuclear War. Because I still don't understand why some old men who have over, enjoyed their lives, seen it all in the world, had it all, would now start scattering everything and turning the world upside down for those coming behind when they're just about to exit already.

I think Poland is chosen by Europe as the advanced vanguard for reconnaissance in force, to see how serious Russia's intentions are to turn off the gas in case of non-payment. Now Europe has to pass the test of how United it is. If at least one of the EU countries gives up and agrees to buy Russian gas on Putin's terms, the rest of Europe will be able to buy gas through it in reverse, albeit more expensive than under a direct contract with Gazprom, but saving face. If all of Europe can say no, then there will be no more Russian gas in Europe.

Hmm... Do you think that all the European countries can say no? I don't think that they can, Hyper inflation and recession loading, Increase cost of energy and everyother price would increase. Hope we all know that Russia doesn't just supply gas to Europe, Russia supplies cheap gas to Europe. Russia supplies over 70% of gas needs to Europe. A supply that can't be replaced on that scale even in 5 years.

Of course not, I don't think so. Gas has risen in price by 25% per day on the stock exchange after the cessation of supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, Austria agreed to pay for gas in rubles, and Poland (according to rumors) increased the volume of reverse from Germany five times. Europe tried to bluff, but failed. Those who do not want cheap Russian gas will receive expensive democratic gas in reverse from the same Russian pipe.

With oil, it's about the same - whoever doesn't want Russian oil at a discount will get a democratic "Latvian mixture" (with 49% of Russian oil) without a discount.

I have noticed most EU countries are ready to cut Russian oil. Their politicians and media have been planting alarming stories just to psy ops Russia. There at least two months supply of energy storage bought at discount from Russia while alternatives were been sourced from opening mothballed coal and nuclear power plants to better inter country selling of electricity.

Meanwhile, summer is coming in two months.
