Putin proposes 'gas hub' plan to Turkey's Erdogan - ( international distribution center)......

During a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of a security conference in Kazakhstan, Putin also suggested setting up a natural gas exchange market in Turkey to determine prices, according to the Interfax news agency.

"We could consider building another gas pipeline and creating a gas hub in Turkey for sale to third countries, especially in Europe," Putin said. On Friday, Erdogan said he ordered his government to quickly present their implementation plans, saying that the hub "will be an international distribution center." According to Putin, more gas could be piped to Europe via Turkey through the Turk Stream pipeline. This is "currently the safest supply route," he said. The Turk Stream pipeline, which runs through the Black Sea and Turkey to southeastern Europe, is currently the only pipeline that still supplies significant quantities of Russian gas to Europe.

....However, the Kremlin said TurkStream cannot be a replacement for the Nord Stream pipelines through the Baltic Sea, Russian media reported Thursday.

Putin seems to be accepting that long term there will be a wall of enemies along his border from Finland to Ukraine.

Turkey will be Russia’s only outlet to the world, and Erdogan will charge a high price.

“How do you say pwned in German?”

billiges erdgas (cheap natural gas prices)

Prices have been steadily falling as Germany has confirmed alternatives to the Russian supply

Why would anybody in their right mind want to build and share a pipeline with Comrade Putin after what he’s done in Europe?

Who cares about manipulated exchange price when the product is not available?

why would Europe want to deal with Russia ever again?

Russia didn’t honor a contract that it freely signed - the contract specifically noted that all payments were to be in Euros ... Russia *unilaterally* changed the contract terms mid-stream

Russia is clearly not a reliable or trustworthy business partner

Europe needs to start buying from Israel or Qatar ... they don’t play games, and actually honor their signed contracts

The gas tanks are full with enough to get them through the winter.

By next year alternative supplies will have come online and Germany will never need another wisp of Russian gas.

Not if there is a more economic offer on market. Do you realize how costly the undersea pipelines? Russia can afford them, Israel can’t.

Nobody cares about Ukraine, they are just an irrelevant country that was suckered by the US into being a pawn on the geo-political chessboard.

What has Putin done in Europe? I don’t know any country he’s invaded or attacked there. It wasn’t until the EU got strong armed by the US into getting on board with Ukraine and Bidens sanctions that EU’s troubles began.

Israel isn’t going to do anything to get Russia riled up.
