Without sane economic direction from the United States the
“first world” will slip into poverty. This is the start of that process.

VOTE - elections have consequences...

“As soon as the war began in Ukraine, European nations scrambled to secure their energy systems against disruptions of natural gas supply from Russia. They had two options: increase supply of gas coming into the continent, or reduce the demand.”

Or option 3: Stay out of it. But Nooooo....

“ Governments will fall. ”

And THAT is a good thing.

But they are going to destroy as much and as many as they can on their way down

Folks have been talking about this since mid February.

If you are just catching up now…it’s going to be a long winter for you.

The news reports say that German energy reserves are all stocked up and they’re good to go.

I don’t understand Putin’s comments eluding to using nuclear weapons.

It’s going to get colder - much colder. Things are going to get bad - pretty bad for Europe.

What are they going to do? Invade Russia to turn on the NatGas?

Totally understanding that Putin is now mired on the Ukraine and there are domestic considerations for him.

But the colder it gets, the more anger will build as people shell out more and money to heat their homes. From that perspective, Putin could be seen as having a successful strategy regarding energy/Europe.

I agree with you - governments may very well fall as energy prices in Europe increase.

“Many will die and environmentalist controlled governments will accept no responsibility.”

But the greens will lose political power, that is happening whether anyone dies or not, the left will be weaker after this wake-up call about energy and Russia.

“The elites wont suffer”

Maybe—but guillotines do not require electricity.

>> I suspect their citizens will make them aware as it gets colder, though.<<

How? Wear yellow jackets, stop traffic and shout obscenities?

Even US citizens will be quiet in spite of their 2nd Amendment rights. Why do you think they hired 87000 ARMED IRS agents?

They learned from the likes of Hitler and Merkel.
