My god Putin was such a fool trying to squeeze EU shutting off the gas in 2022.
Last I heard the EU imports of Russian gas were down to less than 10% of what they used to be before the Ukraine war!
EU cutting it off completely is beautiful.“Putin has shown that he doesn’t mind weaponizing gas,” EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen said as he outlined the plan.
Not the result Putin had hoped for, he thought he could pressure EU into submission, instead the Russian economy is now collapsing, because Putin misjudged everything about invading Ukraine. He thought Russia was strong and Ukraine and EU were weak. So he could do as he pleased. Turned out the opposite was the case.
Fuck Russia, may their economy and the federation collapse soon. 🙏
PS:
The article states:The EU says it has cut gas imports from 45% to 19%
But official EU numbers say otherwise:
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/where-does-the-eu-s-gas-come-from/dropped from over 40% in 2021 to about 11% in 2024.
This is for 2024, and AFAIK it’s below 10% now.
I thought this was already done, did I miss something?
Awesome! Thanks for taking a stand.
Okay so from which reliable country are we getting has until (in some far future) we have transformed the Union to not need fossil fuels at all?
