Russia’s Energy Dominance Ties West’s Hands in Ukraine War

Europe gets about 40% of its natural-gas imports from Russia, making it hard to sanction a vital revenue stream for Moscow

Western countries weighing how to sanction Russia over the invasion of Ukraine are up against the reality of its grip over Europe’s energy supply.

Even as sanctions are being imposed, the same countries doing the sanctioning are continuing to import a large proportion of their energy from Russia every day, which is in turn tying their hands in their ability to hit Moscow where it hurts most.

    NATO is pushing for a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Could provoke nukes flying, I tip Lvov, the entry point for western weapons flowing into Ukraine.

    EU fools are promoting Ukraine in EU. EU is sending EU fighter jets into Ukraine, which would make WW3 a fact. Wonder when the Chinese will enter the war.

    The western media are peddling the narrative that the Russian campaign is going nowhere. In fact, they are winning, at least in the east:

    Putin wants the big cities intact, that is why he is holding back, where Americans always first bomb a country to smithereens for a couple of weeks, before they go in (only to in the end inevitably get their fat arses kicked, ALWAYS), Putin wants to get his Ukrainians “Heim-ins-Russian-Reich” in one piece.

    Here are the western media for you, teaching you how Ukrainians look like:

    You still want to be part of the West, stupid Ukrainian fake Nazis?

    Idiots. Russians getting themselves into an endless unwinnable quagmire pretty much showing they can’t even properly beat a quasi 2nd world nation. Pretty much driving the world back into the hands of usa. Instead of fighting the nigger/raghead invasion either by killing and/or deporting the sludge, they fight against europe. Idiots. Europe is really toast. Infighting while niggers and other shit invades.

    The only idiot here is you, hello. You should look further than newspaper headlines.

    Assuming that no nuclear war happens, somewhat of an if, and the gunpowder fumes have blown away, the European US cocksucking elites are facing a disaster: they have cut themselves off from Eurasian supply lines, energy prices will go through the roof and EU joe sixpack can no longer heat his home, drive his car, let alone fly to Spain.

    Why? Because politics and media insisted that Ukraine should be enlisted into NATO, which is not going to happen.

    Politics and media in the EU have a lot of explaining to do and will fail to have credible answers. That could prepare the ground for “1989”-like situations. Solving the Open Society shit once and for all can only be achieved by getting tough with the media, who are responsible for decades of promoting this scam, on orders of the Great Satan. The East-Europeans had the Berlin Wall as their physical hate object, the rightwing West-Europeans have the media HQs as something begging for redecoration, like this CIA-joint:

    I like it that is has a lot of glass, that is easy to destroy, so the wind can blow freely through it, which will help engulf the flames.

    Another positive fact is that all of a sudden everybody in Europe wants to rearm and finally get serious with the EU army. Ostensibly to protect Europe against Evil Vlad, but in my view that army will come in handy if the US starts to collapse.

    We cannot have a revolution in Europe without war. That is why what is happening is very good.

    It is only a matter of time before China enters the war.

    Bad news for the Zelensky regime from a German Putin hater, Julian Röpcke:

    “Also, I don’t want to spread panic, but there are many corresponding worrying reports from the western Kyiv front in Ukrainian and Russian language. #Makariv either fell or is embattled right now. If it falls, #Kyiv will be encircled from two sides.”

    https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1498280383766487045?s=20&t=oxcqM5izzY5986byYudkTQ

    “Also terrible news from #Luhansk as you can imagine. Half of the front has fallen to the Russians. Not a single settlement was captured by “LNR”, but all by the Russian army, coming from the east.”

    Willem Middelkoop, a peakoil believer, gold trader and you are probably not going to be lieve it, a jood, says it well:

    Witnessing the start of an epic clash, in which the West might loose it’s advantage, and privilege, gained in the last 400-500 years.

    Russia and China understand the West is now getting lazy, fat, old and broke and not willing to put up with a real (boots-on-the-ground) fight.”

    Amen

    Middelkoop on the effects of the events:

    https://twitter.com/wmiddelkoop/status/1498365327465500672?s=20&t=M1sQ9jjBD2u_E_Ykn0oQbw

    “This anti-US sentiment is best described by this young Chinese influencer, with over 12 mln followers, who is allowed to post this rant on china’s TicToc”

    China and Russia are growing closer; China loves it, Rusland slightly less so; Putin wants to be in Europe but gets rejected, so far.

    The US is losing even more sympathy:

    German television, in between the sob stories, a milirary expert, who confirms that the Russians are actually winning.

    Sitrep day 5:

    Again considerable gain. Most important: 50,000 of the best Ukrainians forces are trapped in a cauldron in the Donetzk area. Half of the “contact line” front in Donbass has been crashed by the Russian army.

    Nevertheless, it could take another 2-3 weeks to capture all the territory east of the Dnjepr.

    The WA DC mafia aims to destroy Russia forever. This is clear from its decades-long anti-Russian moves — expanding NATO to Russia’a borders, stationing nuke-capable missiles in Poland under the guise of protecting Europe from Iran, etc., etc.  And especially from the CIA (via State-Dept.-supported NGOs) attempt to overthrow the Georgian government, and the 2014 destruction of the Ukrainian leadership, followed by the encouragement to divorce Ukraine from Russia and join the U.S. vassals in western Europe.

    The worldwide smear campaign mounted by the CIA and State Department against Russia is very successful.  Russia’s back is up against a wall, with many U.S.-pushed nations against it.  Russian options are growing fewer by the day.

    But one option remains.  The Big One, which American and WEF stringpullers are ignoring.

    Russia is being faced with extinction.  But unlike Germany in 1945, it still has military resources that it can use to defeat the mortal threat to it once and for all.  Klaus Schwab, Georg Sörös, Bill Gates and their corrupt megabillionaire friends are sure they can conquer Russia without that ultimate blowback, because they know how to manipulate politicians with money.  That is the essence of “democracy” and the “international, rules-based order” — the abstract notions so praised by Washington shills.

    They think they can ignore history.

    But history is more powerful than they are.
