Necessity is the mother of invention as Europe develops alternative sources and means of energy.
I doubt Europe will be in a rush to build a pipeline to a gangster madman as if that is a solution.
For the life of me, I never could understand their reliance on Russia for something this important. For other trade, perhaps, but for something you must have for your populace of they die? In a way, we already saw a rush to buy in to this scheme. Well, Putin has finally played the card. I hope he gets stuck with 50 cards in this deck.
51 where I am, how cold is it in your area?
