Tried to tell some in here that Russia taking Ukraine would put it in charge of gas lines to Europe, with which to further blackmail Europe and to cut off when Russia decides to invade the next country.

But many want to pretend Ukraine isn’t a strategically important country, which is silly.

It is hard to overstate the stupidity of your message. What stops Russia from cutting it off WITHOUT the control of Ukraine?:)

We’ve been warned about the risks of European reliance on Russian gas transported through pipelines across Ukraine for decades. Until Europe started it’s insane headlong “decarbonization” efforts, it could produce sufficient gas domestically to meet its needs. But much of that production was shut down with predictable consequences.

Ummmm - Russia controls the pipeline before it gets to the Ukraine...helps to think before trying to sound erudite...
