Cut off NordStream 1 completely. Let the stinking Putinistas bathe in their gas.
It will get sold to India or China instead. -shrug- They won’t drown in their own gas.
You’re a real economic genius.
Wonderful General too…
“Cut off NordStream 1 completely. Let the stinking Putinistas bathe in their gas.”
Way to go Mr. Rocket Scientest! Turn off the gas so Germany sinks like a ship hit by a rocket.
As the BRICS coalition forms ever more clearly and contractually, Russia will likely be able to sell all its energy production through the other members. Like financial liquidity, petroleum is a fungible product. Sent here or sent there. Makes all the difference to the buyer, not the seller.
If the petrodollar weakens further as other exchange systems form, the reserve currency status of the dollar will also weaken. "Bathe in their gas" is not what will happen in the long term.
Europe's industry requires energy. Germany thinks restarting their coal generation will be the answer, and if so this will prove the green dream a con job, just like climate change and the event-manufactured pandemic.
Putinistas or Bidenistas, currently the sanctions are not working to make Europe or the US more energy independent or more productive.

And let the stinkin’ Germans go without electric and heat.
