Looking at the map, Odessa will now have to be taken by Russia - just in order to have a potentially-friendly way to route its gas to Europe. Otherwise, Ukraine and Poland have the capability to block gas flow to the rest of Europe.
This was an ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC move by Biden’s people - and Europe may well flip sides over it.
On the good side - no more ‘Green Transition’ - not without natural gas to carry them through.
Thanks BobL. A very insightful comment!
