Thank You for am still looking for the Land I once lived in.

Thank You Lord ... Give Us the secrets to their soul, Lord.
If I remember my history correctly, didn’t cutting off natural resources from Japan piss them off enough to bomb Pearl Harbor? Will the EU bomb Russia? Or will they bomb Ukraine since they’re the ones closing the valves.
Ukraine (imho)
How’s that “Green” energy working for everyone?
Do that and Russia will invade, and the EU will let them.
Not very smart. The Rebels are getting stupid.
“I think Putin will put a sudden stop to any sudden gas stoppages. He’s not massing the troops for nothing.”
I wonder if the Ukrainians have mined the gas terminals and pipelines?
Well, they might want to rethink that if they did.
Why does nearly everyone posting on this thread take the ITAR-TASS article at face value? This is a Russian government controlled source.

Ukrainian neo-Nazis just stormed the parliament, calling for more revolution. Country is in near total anarchy, more to come.
“Russia owes Ukraine compensation for Crimea and the 50+ ships they have pirated. Pretty cut and dried. They will have to pay up eventually.”
They could just take it off of the debt that Ukraine owes Russia already, which is about 9% of Ukraine’s total GDP.
What is the going scrap value of a trashed 40-year old ex-Russian frigate, anyway?
