Politically, Russia has destroyed any trust it has to do business with Europe. If Europe can't trust Russian energy supplies, they will get it and keep getting it from other countries. This will hurt Russia's economy long term.
There is no point in buying energy from Russia, when high energy prices means Russia has a the wealth to invade another country.
China, Iran, and India will buy it.
What’s that, 2.48 billion people?
Russia’s biggest problem, not in the short term, is its demographic heading.
China and India may be the wild cards in all this. If they bump up imports of Russian energy the ruskies may not get hurt at all.
The EU cut themselves off. First they refused to pay and confiscated hundreds of billions of Russian cash and infrastructure. They refused to allow Nordstream 2 to be turned on. They cut Russia off from swift. They refused to allow vital machinery and tech support.
Now the EU has no gas and they decide Russia has destroyed their trust. Lol
Slobber Ukraini
Widget your Eurotrash buddies Help start the score by pushing eastward with NATO and the constant shelling of the breakaway republics of the Ukraine for eight years. With sanctions the despotic euros have engaged in right theft of property, they have flooded the Ukraine with weapons and refused to pay for gas in rubles. The scum are getting what they deserve. I hope they freeeze.
