Poland and Norway opened a new gas pipeline via Denmark on Tuesday, hailed as a much-needed alternative to Russian-controlled routes.
At a ceremony in Poland, Norway’s Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the opening of Baltic Pipe was “a milestone on the important path towards European independence”...
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said it “marks a crucial geopolitical step for all of us.”
“Putin uses Russian energy as a weapon to destabilise Europe, to divide us. He cannot be allowed to succeed,” Ms Frederiksen said, referring to the Russian president.
Poland, one of the fiercest advocates in Europe of isolating Moscow, was one of several countries to have their Russian gas supplies cut off in April after refusing Mr Putin’s demand to pay in roubles.
It opened a gas interconnector with Lithuania in May and another with Slovakia in August, but Baltic Pipe is the biggest addition to Poland’s import capacity, with capacity to cover about half its gas needs.

First the Poles significantly increased their gas storage capacity and filled it.
Then the Poles signed built an LNG terminal.
Then the Poles secured a long term LNG contract with America.
Then the Poles secured a long term gas supply contract with Norway and built a pipeline.

Don’t forget they offered us Ft. Trump.
““Putin uses Russian energy as a weapon to destabilise Europe,”
Sound familiar. Try this:
Biden uses American petroleum energy as a weapon to destabilize the US.
Putin threatens to shut off natural gas pipeline movements while Biden shuts down the Keystone and cancels oil drilling leases.
More than 6.3 million Ukrainians have fled their country since Russia first invaded in late February 2022 overburdening surrounding countries.
Since the Biden administration has been in office the total of illegal aliens crossing our borders is 4.9 million, including some 900,000 “gotaways” who eluded apprehension and have since disappeared into American communities creating hardships use of tax money and an increase in crime.
Putin creating Europe’s descent into an economic contraction looks to have been confirmed with Russia squeezing natural gas supplies to the region and heavy industry facing tough rationing in the coming months.
Since Biden has been in office, with his assistance to major ports in controlling product movement of imports through the unions, and knowing that a country’s importing and exporting activity will influence our GDP, its exchange rate, and its level of inflation and interest rates, our inflation has gone over the top from a 1.8 percent average ending 2019 to 4.7% beyond.
Could easily find more, but the comparison is striking and ominously close. So it has every appearance that these talks that Putin and Biden have may not be as much to find a medium in their differences, but to find workable ways to use their similarities.

US consumers will be so happy when LNG export cause US prices to rise to European levels.
Why natural gas costs so much more in Europe

Yes, and we have FR globalists cheering it on.

Keep Russia out, America in and Germany down w/Jackson Hinkle (Live)
Just a note though - to be safe, in Poland we are both
1. Storing gas
2. houses and cities are reducing unnecessary energy expenses like the month-long christmas lights put up in city centres (they are beautiful, but oh well)
The Poles like the Romanians, Czechs, Baltics etc. don’t trust and haven’t trusted Putin for nigh on 15 years now.
Germany either was naïve to believe that they could win over Putin with economic benefits
OR
Merkel was an undercover Stasi spy.
By not supplying Europe with natural gas, Russia is currently losing about $10 billion / week, or $43 billion per month
all hard currency that could be used to develop Russia
instead, because of Russia’s childish extortion games, that much-needed money is gone
gonna be a dark winter in RUSSIA this year
