Europe Kicks Its Russian Petro Habit
Icarus Project ^ | Feb. 2023 | Icarus Project

Posted on 09/30/2023 7:21:27 PM PDT by Srednik

This video highlights how Europe is kicking its addiction to Russian natural gas and oil. 9 seconds into the vid notice the sign behind Vladolf Putler at his pep rally kicking off the invasion of Ukraine. Explains the "Z" on his tanks as the huge sign behind "The Boss" says "Za (toward) a greater Russia, a world without Naziism (horse laugh appropriate) and peace ('mir' in Russian can mean peace, village, or world -- or to a megalomaniac all three?)

Yet another BS story. Germany is STILL buying plenty of gas from Russia...they just hide its shipping history.

Dig that Russian LNG.

At least it's a LOT more expensive than the piped Nordstream natural gas...

Russian oil and gas was close enough to be transported by pipeline, is in forever quantities and cheaper than OPEC or US. And Europe is better off without it???

and cheaper than OPEC or US

so Europe won't have to worry about freezing this winter, yet can carry on with the sanctions, without any penalty

good to know

If Trump was still the POTUS, gas would be much cheaper. Therefore, Putin would have less money to fund his war machine in Ukraine.

I understand they have replaced purchases of Russian gas and oil with more expensive US and other sources gas and oil. Many factories have closed but I don’t think anyone is freezing. I don’t believe anyone can honestly say EU is better off without Russian oil/gas.

Glad you can predict the winter temperatures in Europe.

They'll be comforted by your foreknowledge.

---- "Feb. 2023 | Icarus Project"

"This video is brought to you by Skillshare." Dated Feb 8, 2023. 22 videos in eight months. This fellow needs to step up his game, like the "daily amen™ threads' many monetized YouTube content creators....

And "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases using the links above."

Gosh. It looks like "support me." Because YouTube AdSense is the "go to" way to generate some "support." One observes:

Because: "I'm embarking on a journey to help bring long-known (but not widely-distributed) truths about Russia to the public consciousness - in a format that is far more accessible to the general public (and far more effective) than traditional media has been. Russia's tyranny should be no secret, but much of the general public still doesn't know about it. This leads to real-world problems, as tyrants like Vladimir Putin remain in power in large part due to a lack of knowledge. But through the power of information, humor, and wit, we can show more people the truth!"

So there is a wee glimpse into The Icarus Project, Feb 8, 2023 edition, because "much of the general public still doesn't know about it."

Know about what? A "a journey to help bring long-known (but not widely-distributed) truths about Russia to the public consciousness, AND scrape up some Benjamins in the process through sponsors, donations, selling T-shitrts and caps, because "much of the general public still doesn't know about it."

Yup. Money. AdSense. Patreon. Buy me a coffee. Subsribe. Click. You need to know! News from eight months ago.

Grift comes in all sizes. From this chap to "The whole Ukraine goes for sale - massive profit opportunities being created by the war' -- July 17, 2023

So buy a T-shirt....

If by "numerous" you mean the majority, and if by "support putin" you mean those of us who are against propping up a criminal state like Ukraine, then you are correct.
