Europe is now looking at the possibility of “social unrest” should the continent be hit with a cold winter this year, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has now warned.

The European peasants should hang their ruling class from trees like apples.

Biden will blame ultra MAGA conservatives for the violence in Europe.

Leftism and government coercion with its resulting poverty and failure will sooner or later bring an uprising of discontent.

That’s true in many countries. But I wonder how the peaceful Muslim invaders will react to shortages. Perhaps the EU give Muslim areas more than their fair share of food and energy to keep them “mostly peaceful”.

“And if Mother Nature decides not to cooperate, and the winter is actually harsh, that could lead to some social unrest,” she warned.

I thought all the solar panels and wind turbines were supposed to take care of that.

This is what these delusional people keep voting for year after year, decade after decade.

Sweden seems to have gotten the message, but it is most probably too late.

Muslim refugees won’t have to worry about heat, nor will the elites, white Europeans on the other hand...

EU = More Really Good timing with their idiots in charge!

Travis McGee, Thanks for posting the possible economic reality for the ETU, Euro Trashy Union versus Russia. Also, a reality lesson versus Harvard/Yale B$ and our MMS B$ers.

Oktoberfest may be AXED due to Putin gas crisis, and Bavarian breweries told to stop making BEER as it's revealed Germans must pay £1,000-a-year 'gas surcharge' ON TOP of bills and Hanover turns off hot water!

Germany could be forced to scrap Oktoberfest celebrations and its famous Christmas markets as officials desperately search for ways to save energy after Russia began throttling gas supplies to Europe.

Hanover, yesterday became the first major city on the continent to announce it will turn off all hot water in public buildings to conserve energy, while Berlin has begun dimming streetlights and Augsburg has turned off public water fountains.

Although Europe is scrambling to get energy from elsewhere, any difficulties this winter could be a harbinger of worse to come if Russian gas supplies are completely severed and stay off through 2023, said France’s minister overseeing energy, Agnès Pannier-Runacher.

“If gas deliveries are cut by the end of the year, that will mean we’ll have a full year without Russian gas, so the following winter could be even harder,” Pannier-Runacher told French senators.

Actually the Europeans are far more likely to take to the streets than Americans. We are far more submissive. Look at our response to lockdowns compared to Europe.

I’ve been saying most of the year: it’s starting to smell an awful lot like 1848 out there. 1848, the Year of Revolutions, when Europe erupted in rebellions across the continent. It’s infectious.... :D
