Hope you have a good supply of white flags......glad you weren’t in charge of any war efforts during the two big ones,
Pretty sure 83% of white people can’t do that either.
It’s not desirable to engage in debate with someone who thinks Russia is runaway swelling in size like a balloon being given too much air, unless one wants to go stark raving mad. Did you have a stroke or something that you can’t see how absurd it is?
> The principal significance of the Crimea to Ukraine is that it prevents Russia from controlling both sides of the Kerch Strait.
I’m sorry but you simply cannot be that stupid. You must know quite well that the present-day significance of Crimea to Russia is the naval base at Sevastopol.
What kind of person would come here and give prima facie absurdist arguments?
Are you a Chinese state employee working the propaganda shift?
“Hope you have a good supply of white flags......glad you weren’t in charge of any war efforts during the two big ones,”
That’s just silly. LNG doesn’t have to compete with the volume of a pipeline, and the odds of Russia shutting off the flow is infinitesimal.
What they like to do is get a customer hooked and then jack up the prices during times of need. When LNG is available to add to supply that puts a cap on how much Russia can charge for their gas.
The pipeline in question does not yet exist, and Russia desperately needs the money from sales to pay for its construction. Shutting off the flow would be ridiculous. That said, the United States has so much available natural gas that we could have a string of supertankers delivering LNG to Germany so fast it would make your head spin.
