it's about the number of people living in the states that don't sanction, or whose leaders don't codemn... these markets will stay free for the Russian trades & exports... it was ment about sanctions, not personal condemnation
Yes that happens a lot

And? What’s your point if she is?
so that's putin's last speech?...did he sign a copy of it for you? did you get him to sign it "Puti Pants"?...
- We do not want war.
- The opposite party alone is guilty of war.
- The enemy is inherently evil and resembles the devil.
- We defend a noble cause, not our own interests.
- The enemy commits atrocities on purpose; our mishaps are involuntary.
- The enemy uses forbidden weapons.
- We suffer small losses, those of the enemy are enormous.
- Recognized artists and intellectuals back our cause.
- Our cause is sacred.
- All who doubt our propaganda are traitors.

Fine, but as I read it, you implied personal condemnation.
Not even the Russians can deny what you’re saying in your question. It’s feckless to do any trade with Russia.
the part you didn't quote
refered to a speech done by politicians on the impact of imposed sanctions
so, russian rebels attacked Donetsk, causing the whole conflict, but the death of those children are the responsibility of the Ukraine armed forces?

i believe she is Romanian? but even if she is russian, is that a reason to be rude? she's been trying to give us news that we can't get, or will get days from now...she obviously doesn't support putin or his war...so just exactly what the fuck is the problem, KAREN?
she said it posts and posts ago...do you think she lied?
(She?) doesn’t get attention so she seeks it here(with me)
)) it’s like highschool all over again
sure sure 30 years to just buy from somewhere else? nice "experts" you got thereSome German government dude said they’ll end Russiand dependence in just a few years. Dutch expert says that’s not being truthful, it would take an energy transition of 20-30 years. Germany is phasing out nuclear power plants because Fukushima, other east european countries don’t want it because of Chernobyl. Next week the EU will present a new energy plan to reduce reliance on Russia. If Russia shuts down the pipes, so be it, but if they don’t, well, it’s starting to look like those who depend on Russian gas a lot should start looking for alternatives very fast.
It blows our neighbor Germany, because of Putin, is going to invest 100billion in military, money that should have gone into energy independence instead.
TLDR: If the article would say “Germany/Italy“ instead of “the europeans” or “former east bloc members kept sucking the tit of Russian gas too long instead of switching to renewables or getting over their fear of nuclear power” then yes sure. But formulated as it is now it’s like saying Asians eat dogs while that mostly applies to Chinese and South Koreans and in many cases is really just pork
Well of course it is. The Ukrainians didn't just roll over when the Russians came.
Germany also have moved away from coal, part of the reason the gas from Russia was important. Germany has a lot of brown coal that it has been phasing out. It is a dirty fuel, more than regular black coal.Not even the Russians can deny what you’re saying in your question. It’s feckless to do any trade with Russia.
The sentence you quoted however is a misrepresentation of reality. Spain. Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Sweden, Luxembourg, and a few others don’t import much or any gas from Russia, but certainly aren’t dependent on it. France, a relatively large importer, is a good example of how sensational media portray the dependence. France’s energy supply is over 70% fulfilled by their nuclear reactors, 20% renewables, less than 9% fossile. The latter includes gas, oil, and coal. Articles with maps showing gas dependence show France‘s gas consumption relies for 30% on Russia. What it doesn’t show it translates to less than 2% of France’s total energy demand.
Five of the largest importers/consumers of Russian gas in Europe are Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Belarus and Turkey. Yes, in some media, Turkey is a part of ‘Europe’ when the reliance of ‘EU‘ on Russian gas is covered.
The manner in which countries depend on it differs a lot too. Some need it for certain industries, some for most of their power plants, and many for heating and cooking. The latter are in some countries including NL (~15% of gas russian) a priority. That is, in case of shortage, the largest companies are cut off first, then medium and small, then private consumers. This means in case Russia stops sending gas, some businesses might go either green or bankrupt, economy will take a hit, but nothing near a qualification as “highly dependent“. Within the EU, “highly dependent” applies to Germany, Italy, and several countries in the east, as in former east bloc countries where till very recently the majority had a positive opinion on Russia. The baltic states, Hungary, Bulgaria, and a few others in the east get 50 to over 90% of gas from Russia.
The high dependence implies strong leverage, which makes it an even worse misrepresentation. It could have been used as leverage over those two fake states (I refuse to register the names in my brain) but given the current situation…

Maybe the commanders do not really want to kill their kinfolk? Mind you, the Ukrainians are doing pretty good the other way.
oh, there are a few, but they're low life scumbags each and every one.
The way I see it is when serious aid starts rolling in the Russians will be in deep trouble with the way things are now. In a few weeks they might relieve the capitol and could hold everything west of the Dnieper river, much less the western part of the nation. Vlad wasted his time going after the cities in 5 separate armored thrusts instead of focusing on cutting off the country from NATO support and supply in the west. It was a fundamental blunder that will cost him the war. War is about concertation of power at a critical point in a timely manner, Vlad missed the bus and it might end up killing him. All this shit can end with a single bullet and simple solutions are often best.
That "feckless" sentence had a ring to it that caught my attention. It was an appeal to emotion, painting an image that seemed false. The dickhead author was making a false claim in order raise the status of the US out of all of this.Not even the Russians can deny what you’re saying in your question. It’s feckless to do any trade with Russia.
