omg

I was wondering what the hell this meant lmao:

The dispute, coupled with Israel's military operation in Gaza, also pushed oil up to a three-week high of $49.91 in New York yesterday.

“I agree! Having done cold-weather training exercises in Norway, I do NOT wish that crap on ANYONE!”

We winter camp in the Colorado Rockies for fun. With good equipment it’s a blast. I wouldn’t want to do it for ten days though. And it would be awful to deal with that in your own home. Just the frozen pipes problem could shut down cities if there are widespread freezes, not to mention the human cost. Most people don’t have the knowledge or equipment to spend the night (or day) in -10 degree weather without serious consequences.

I bet it was cold in Norway!

The article thinks it is temporary.

The article is over 6 years old.

Russia cut gas exports to Europe by 60 per cent today, plunging the continent into an energy crisis 'within hours' as a dispute with Ukraine escalated.

This morning, gas companies in Ukraine said that Russia had completely cut off their supply.

Unexpected! /s

Please forgive me, but this is my first time posting here :)
This article is not current, but 5 years old. If you got it from Zero H, they are in great error. The Daily Mail article is from January 6 2009. The ZH headline is from 2009, but then the continued article references the Bloomberg site which is about Russia and the petro dollar, which appears to be a legit current article. This article also ran in several sites, example the NY Times back in 2009. Someone at ZH, missed, or intentionally?, lined up the dates also, as the photos accompanying the articles reference the day as Tues (Jan 6 2009), and also falling on a Tues, Jan 6 2015. The verbiage is the same as the 2009 articles. In addition, the Daily Mail article mentions the “current operations in Gaza” by Israel, which obviously is not happening now, but was back in 2009...

“Europe ASKED for this.”

For what ? Nothing happened. Just several dozens of KGB’s sluts masturbating to a non-story all over the Internet. It seems that KGB’s disinformation control room got all drunk or something.
