Oh, this should be good.
What are they going to do? Ban GaProm from selling in the EU?
It’s going to get mighty cold if they try that.
And? Then?
LOL
They are a monopoly originating in another country that is not really subject to laws of the EU, particularly since there is no viable way for the EU to deliver the same product to their own peeps.
Ruh Roh. Putin’s empire is folding even without us bombing Syria.
First, Ukraine and Lithuania extorted bargain price for gas threatening to block Gazprom further sales to the West via their own transit network. Now Gazprom and German companies invested billions to seize extortion and secure supply building undersea pipeline on the Baltic floor to bypass troublemaker and they are wondering their price is up? Isn’t something wrong with this picture?
Thanks Olog-hai.
