"The only thing that is reliable from Russia is lies"

Robert Habeck, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action

Better understanding it late than never at all. No one wants to starve and freeze for climate change.

Very pleasant to see Putin bring the arrogant Germans to their knees on energy, after the Germans stupidly laughed at President Trump when he warned them against being over reliant on Russia for their energy.

#5. Europe took Russia for granted for 30 years. Now they are paying for it.

In case people may be wondering, ONE nuclear reactor provides enough electrical power for 15 MILLION hot showers, every day.

When collecting firewood becomes the norm.
Karma is real as is reaping what thou hast sown.
Great stuff.
Winter is coming.

EU/UK economic implosion assured.
EU/UK currencies sinking.
EU/UK Utility bills going through the roof.
EU/UK Energy prices going through the roof.
Food prices going through the roof.

I know who are getting the last laugh: Trump and Putin.
Keep doubling down though EU/UK.......

Germany is now finally doing what Trump wanted. They closed the NS2 pipeline and are rapidly building LNG terminals so they can buy American. Sad that it’s late, but better late than never.

This is of course the opposite of what Putin wanted. Russian propagandists used the stupid anti-American sentiments in Germany to block the building of LNG terminals claiming that it is a wicked plan of America to sell their own gas instead of the one coming from Russia.

Does not change the fact that the sanctions failed.
Does not change the fact that the sanctions backfired.
Does not change the fact that the EU/UK/Germany reaping what it has sown, and now, doubling down at the expense of their own citizens.
This coming winter will not be the only winter they will have to worry about. Bet.

Sanctions work. Russia is going down. Europeans should not be whining babies. Europe is one of the wealthiest areas in the world and can handle mild economic discomfort.

You say Europe should surrender because of the mild discomfort because you care so much about their well-being. Be honest instead and say you’re rooting for Putin.

Sanctions have not worked, propagandists, and its becoming more and more widely acknowledged as they have not only utterly failed but BACKFIRED.

At any rate, I am supposed to go to the gas station and while filling my car up, think to myself, ‘Take that Putin!’ and be happy I am spending double what I normally have for gas because it make me feel morally better for defying Putin?!

We will suffer because Putin deserves it, right?

When in full truth, Putin has become the catch-all scapegoat for all the world’s problems and our ills as in paying higher food, energy, utility, etc., etc., — all this to cover for their own failed national and foreign policies.

Be assured, when I go to fill up my car, or pay my utility bill, or pay for my groceries, I am NOT cussing Putin. Bet.
