we also have kooks here who say Europe is “about to collapse” or “everyone there will freeze to death this winter” LOL
so there’s a lot of nonsense on these threads
Perhaps.
Long stated the problems for Europe are not short-term - i.e.: this Winter. Their problems are long-term, this coming year, next Winter, the following year, etc.
The replacement for cheap Russian gas is going to be a long-term quest for the EU, and findings those replacements are not going be solved in the short-term, if ever short of Europe itself going against the Euro-greenies and weenies and building coal plants, nuclear plants, etc. en masse.
