KW: With the west ringing its hands at the sheer audacity of Vladimer Putin going into the now recognised as 2 independent countries that have been struggling to stay afloat amidst Ukrainian military force and aggression ever since the US backed and led military coup during 2014, (blamed by western madia on/as a Russian invasion) they have now got it full on, a russian ocupation of the two regions ( Donbass and Lugansk) that declared themselves separate from Ukraine back in 2014 as just like Crimea tey did not want to be part of NATO or the EU. Without now an American invasion these two states now join ‘mother Russia’ for good.
Trump gloats at Bidens stupidity.
What’s it all about? The NordStream 2 pipeline, thats what its all about. The Us has always attempted to stop Europe from benefitting from cheap Russian gas and expects/wants Europe to buy more expensive US LPG that requires shipping across the Atlantic in specilly (yet to be built) gas ships to maintain Europes industry and heating requirements at far higher prices than the Russian natural gas. Germany helped build the pipeline tht is ready to have gas sent down it and the US lobbied hard against Germany (their Ally? )ever receiving the gas. The Ukraine to Europe gas line is threatened by Nordstream 2 as well, serving the Ukrainians right for stealing so much gas (by syphoning it off and not paying for it) to the tune of billions$.
Europeans will soon have to pay €2,000 ($2,200) per thousand cubic meters of natural gas, former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev tweeted on Tuesday. The warning comes after Germany ordered a halt to Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline certification.. Chancellor Scholz said he had asked the German economy ministry to make sure the pipeline’s certification could not take place at the moment. The 12-billion-dollar pipeline, which is majority-owned by Russia’s state energy giant Gazprom is capable of transporting 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually from Russia to Germany. The pipeline could have been the answer to Europe’s current energy crisis and help refill the continent’s gas storage facilities, which had less than 5% of gas left in them last week.
