Bleah, Russia is just threats, the only time they act is when somebody is weaker than them or they think that's the case, which is not the case here!
They annexed Crimea 8 years ago and no one lift the finger. If they weren't a nuclear power and a threat, NATO would already bomb the shit out of occupied territories long time like they usually do to the countries that pose no serious threat to them. Never underestimate Russian dictators willingness to sacrifice their own people for their crazy plans, and west is well aware of that.
Meanwhile, since the subject is about Gas and not nuclear, another step for the failure of freezing Europe:
Gas is 40% cheaper than it was a year ago
before the war, deposits are at 76%,
Germany will probably avoid recession completely, and the CPI index has gone to 50.2 for the first time since July, meaning that manufacturing activity is increasing!
I am sure that some on this thread are very disappointed with how things are developing and that we are not freezing our asses off over here.
We are talking about nuclear holocaust. In such scenario, even a 1% chance should not be taken lightly. IMO, here are the possibilities:
Of course not, that's what I am talking about. Narrative is that if anyone (in this case Russia) launches a tactical nuke or two that it automatically means nuclear holocaust and end of the world, while situation is more complicated than that and I wouldn't put my money on UK willing to sacrifice 60+ million people and US 300+ million for another country.
