Seize the pipelines that run through pro-Western western Ukraine.

So Putin closes the valve at his end of the pipe....

Europe freezes....women, children and minorities hit hardest....

Russia has important oil and gas pipelines in the rest of Ukraine.

Because so much of the EU is dependent on that natural gas, anyone who inflicts serious damage on those pipelines will incur the wrath of the EU and Russia alike. Not a good place to be in.

What was the EU dependent upon before the Russian gas pipeline? Lowering their energy consumption is going Green. IOW, I’m saying the protagonists should get the blame for the EU’s energy woes. The Greens and the Communists have been working together to make Europe dependent on Russian gas since at least the ‘80s.

The Russians are "digging trenches"?

A replay of World War I? Fixed bayonets and freaky-looking gas masks?

I don't get it.

North Sea (offshore) supplies. Coal was a common pre-WWII fuel also.

I predict the Left won’t be complaining about “war for oil” this time, even though it is.

Yes. Digging trenches IS how you ACTUALLY DEFEND territory (like Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland!) that you ACTUALLY INTEND TO DEFEND!

And, with socialists in charge, the rest of Europe will surrender. Again.
