Europe is facing a critical energy crisis as Ukraine’s decision to end its gas transit agreement with Russia threatens to sever one of the continent’s last remaining sources of Russian natural gas. Adding to the complexity, Qatar warns it will halt gas exports to the EU if penalized under the bloc’s new sustainability law, while President-elect Donald Trump threatens tariffs unless the EU increases its purchases of U.S. oil and gas. With growing pressures from Russia, Qatar, and the U.S., the EU's energy security and geopolitical stability are at a crossroads.
The dumbest in this world game of power and influence are we Europeans. While all over the world we are being asked to ‘invest in our national defence’ now that our economies have hit rock bottom (through our own fault), the stupidest of all Europeans, Germany, is also being threatened from all sides to cut off our energy lines. The green shirt wants to stop the gas pipeline from Russia, Qatar wants to shut down its pipeline for us if we threaten with the EU supply chain law and the orange hair also wants us to increase our budget for war to 5% of our budget.
We don't need enemies with such friends, do we?
To understand all this, one has to go back in history to the Second World War and read it with different eyes. Meanwhile, seventy years later, the West has been brainwashed in such an anti-eastern way that it will probably be impossible for many people to unlearn what they have learnt before they die.
Alternative journalists are predicting the same things for Germany, when our elections will take place in February, and if it won't be to the liking of the non governing entities, they will find a way to sabotage it, like it happened to you.
I, right now, look at my nose and of those of my German fellas, and I am afraid to say that most of us ordinary people did not (want) see this coming. But if we had educated ourselves in a more sophisticated way, we probably would. On the other hand, everyone knows about corruption, no?
Anyway, there must be something left to enjoy, and so I wish you a merry Christmas.
I was not aware of the energy supply problems Germany might be facing. I know that Ukraine cutting off gas supply to Europe is already pissing off other countries. The Slovak PM went to Moscow about that. Tough.
Speaking off corruption. Word has it we're exporting energy to Moldavia at preferential rates as they're our brothers. Moldova sells the same amount of energy to Ukraine, which exports it back to Romania at a much steeper price. How about that?
Elections in Germany will be interesting to watch. I see that Elon Musk is already keeping an eye on your elections, so we know where Trump stands on that. What can I say? I wish you better luck than we had.
Crazy.
We destroyed/shut down ALL of our nuclear energy facilities, since our green t-shirts dreamed to be the first one nation which can sustain itself by wind and sun. Since wind and sun do not always deliver, and since Northstream was sabotaged by a terrorist action, and since we then had to buy energy from the US (LNG) and on top atomic energy from France, the neighboring Scandinavian countries now are pissed towards us because they had to compensate for our inability to sustain ourselves.
Our money now will be drained from our pockets to the last penny. We might end up as the first modern nation which has to go back to the status of a "to be developed nation". We probably will face brown- or blackouts. I think the t-shirts will regulate the electricity market and shut the electricity down here and there (happened already), leaving the major cities out until the election is over.
At least you had already a majority voting for the right candidate, but I am afraid us Germans still are not getting it, due to the massive propaganda. I talk to people on the streets or where I shop and get a sense of it, if you know what I mean.
I do not count much on the US, to be honest. All others seem to turn into sharks, once one fish appears to be weak and will eat it.
How do you estimate your future in Rumania? I don't know much about your country and I hope that you people are not long enough under western influence and will break free from its grip. The empire will go down but while it does it, it will affect many other 'allies'.
