Europe's gas imports from Russia overtook supplies from the US for the first time in almost two years in May, despite the region's efforts to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels since the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
While one-off factors drove the reversal, it highlights the difficulty of further reducing Europe's dependence on gas from Russia, with several eastern European countries still relying on imports from their neighbour.

Is this really a war between Europe and Russia when Europe is still importing more gas from Russia than they are from the US? I think the world and America is being played by the globalists.

All right cronos, per our earlier comment thread, the burden is on you to refute!

Europe buys less than half the gas from Russia it did before the war, and May is one of the lowest demand months of the year.

If I could pay for stuff in rubles, I would be buying stuff from them too. That’s like paying in money made out of newsprint at the local grammar school.

Were we really a big exporter to Europe anyway?

Whatever makes you feel better. Again, in what rational world does a combatant buy products directly from their adversary?

"If I could pay for stuff in rubles, I would be buying stuff from them too. That’s like paying in money made out of newsprint at the local grammar school." They Eurotrash are paying Russia for it in euros. Are you seriously trying to suggest that Russia would send real physical valuable energy to Europe without real payment? Come on.

"If I could pay for stuff in rubles, I would be buying stuff from them too. That’s like paying in money made out of newsprint at the local grammar school." We were until the Biden administration limited natural gas exports to reduce the domestic costs in America in order to improve his numbers against President Trump.

Just like Syria, this is a European pipeline war. Only American citizens are paying for it
I am assuming Tucker won’t ask zelensky about this, just like he was silent about the vaccines.

Is it really a war when you’re still buying stuff from your enemy? It’s one big con.

FAKE NEWS!!!
I’ve got to call you out on this one as we all know that the Financial Times is controlled by Russian agents, because RUSSIA IS EVERYWHERE!!!!!
But one question? Why would the these Russian agents use the Western Media Dog Whistle: “full scale invasion of Ukraine”, at the beginning of the article? It makes no sense, it doesn’t compute. Could the Zeepers be wrong when they run around screaming like that Joe Boggs app ranting about how Russia is crashing?
My mind is full of contradictions now. Help.

I agree. Note that in the novel Catch-22, part of the crazy absurdity was Mess Sgt Milo Minderbinder running vast corporate syndicate in WWII Italy that included Nazi Germany as well as the US as importers and exporters. “Everyone has a share”.

But we have been told by Freeper Zeepers that Ruzzia economy was about to collapse. They are all Ukie Propaganda messengers.

Trump will pump oil to bankrupt Russia at the same time he'll send more weapons to Ukraine.
That'll force Putin to negotiate.
