I hope the Russians shut off all gas to the EU and let the bastards freeze in the dark!!
“I hope the Russians shut off all gas to the EU and let the bastards freeze in the dark!!”
The Russians already did so when Russia invaded and occupied the territories of Georgia. The Warsaw Business Journal published an article saying the EU was now prepared to replace the Russian natural gas supplies in one year.
The impending EU independence from the Russian natural gas supplies is another significant reason why Putin found it necessary to invade and conquer the Ukraine at this time, before the energy independence of the EU could be completed, before Yanukovych could be removed by a Ukrainian election, and before Obama could lose control of the U.S. Senate in the 2014 mid-term elections. This is Putin’s last remaining military campaigning season before his opportunity to pursue a war of aggression to rebuild and further expand the USSR 2.0 is forestalled by adverse events in the West.
