The US/NATO/West jointly pledged to destroy Russia's economy and deplete their military capability.

Were they so stupid they never considered what Russia would do as a result?

I think they were that stupid.

And multiple governments will fall in Europe before next summer as NATO splinters.

There is a war going on and the EU countries are supporting the enemy and have place economic sanctions on Russia. And they expect Russia not respond????

Of course Ukraine gets around a billion US$$ as a transfer fee from Russia every year for passing Russian oil to Europe. That will come to an end now.

I agree with Trump that NATO needed to wake up and dump Russia and strengthen NATO.

This mess Europe is going through as they disentangle from Russia will hopefully remind them that they were drifting too far left and that they need to increase defense spending and listen less to the anti-energy Greens.

A near-death winter scare that they survive, will be good for the West.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of using energy as a weapon by keeping a critical pipeline to Germany shut down

Translation….. give me more money

All is fair in love and war, Zelensky.

The President of a corrupt, non-NATO country was able to convince the West to provide billions in cash and billions in equipment and inject themselves in your war. Europe is an active participant.

Soon, Europe will be dealing with some serious issues. And they’ll have to make some tough choices. Continue to support Zelensky and freeze. End any and all aid, Zelensky is done. Hmmmm……decisions decisions.

Russia and Putin do not have to “prepare” anything.....

The Europeans and the UK have been doing a fine job on their own, via the sanctions, of committing a “decisive energy attack on all Europeans” as it directly pertains and relates to this coming European winter. They better pray they have a ‘warm’ winter.

Can’t fix stupid.
And yet, the Europeans, as with the UK and US, are repeatedly and willingly stuck on stupid.

Whatever. In the meantime, the military/industrial complex is making out like bandits, thank you very much. Loads of orders for new weapons, replenishments, etc. Nothing like a nice little war to increase defense budgets, increase profits.

The Europeans, Ukrainians are chumps.

To big government liberals there’s rarely a direct consequences to their posturing.

This ain’t one of them.

The Green Party rid themselves of coal, oil and nuclear energy then declared they weren’t buying any more of Putin’s evil global warming product.

So Putin ain’t in a hurry to waste money “repairing” a pipeline that the costumer’s say they’re not interested in.

All the EU needs to do is meet Putin’s price in rubles and they’ll have the gas they need. Ain’t Putin’s fault their leaders didn’t put the interest of their citizenry first.

Don’t like Putin but he’s been given a ace in the hole.

Some European citizens are done with this war. They're not happy having to freeze for Ukraine.

Hey Zelensky. We don’t listen to you or do we have an ounce of respect for a foul puppet who sends his people out to die to line your own pockets for doing the bidding of western leftist leaders.

Can those wankers actually expect Russia to supply them with gas and oil while they are arming and supporting a barbarian nazi horde on Russia’s doorstep??
