S.jaishankar was right when he said " European nations need to get out of the mindset that their problem is worlds problem and the world's problems are not their problems."
Rightly said 👍
The same can be said of the USA.

A successful annexation of Ukraine by Russia would have emboldened China to annex Taiwan and parts of India. Russia losing in Ukraine has made China rethink it's invasion plans, so S.jaishankar is wrong the whole world is connected.

They could be in an even better position if they had better diplomatic relatoins with Morocco, who previously supplied them with gas as well. But Morocco keeps asking for the Spanish territories in Northern Africa (Ceuta, Melilla plus some islets) and for some reason the Spanish gov't has a tendency to semipreiodically do grand standings on these issues (thus causing Morocco to feel insulted) instead of simply agreeing to disagree with their neghbour and keep doing businessess.

The war in Ukraine shows how EU nations are now split into two groups. One is led blindly by the US & its sidekick, UK. While the other is a loose group of sensible & pragmatic nations which know what is best for themselves.

I love the comparaison of the EU with a sitting dug! And I totally agree. Everybody knew these sanctions would be a real disaster from the beginning on: just because we are too dependent on Russian gaz and it is normal: cheap and close location. Plus no other cheap and easy alternatives. You don't need to have done university studies to understand that! But our leaders prefer economic war to economic stability and growth. And war to diplomacy. It is a real shame but probably the start of the end of the EU and our leaders as well !

whoever in EU who thought of the solution of just cutting 15% across the EU countries to solve the gas problem is simply too naïve... But then again... they wouldn't have been in this position if their leaders were not so naïve to think that Russia would sit around and supply them enough gas till they are ready when they are doing so much to try to hurt Russia... lol
We already cut 19% back in march, just by using gas more sensibly. It didn't hurt us a bit.
In time of need, people get inventive, and we europeans are inventive.
It's not the first 'war' we survived and came back from it even stronger than before.
In fact no European countries want to sanction Russia for oil and gas because of their own valid reasons, but because of pressure from USA, they had no choice but reluctantly agree for sanctions.

EU:
"I want to create the most powerful conglomerate of European nations. We want to rival America in every aspects."

"Wow...cool...count me in. But wait...what are the benefits?"
EU:
"We haven't even started yet, and you are talking about benefits already?"
European nations:
"What is the point of it if we don;t get something out of it?"
EU:
"Fair point. Well, you will get 'special grants' which means 'free money' if you care to ask. And you get protection in numbers."
European nations:
"Yea... We are keen as mustard. Where do I sign?"
Fast forward to 2022...
The EU is now protected by NATO. And guess who controls NATO? America wants to get rid of Russia, and the EU followed. Now the European nations realized that there are obligations besides the 'special grants'. They must abide by the EU rules. Talking about rules, Ursula Von Der Leyen knows a few. She was talking about a grand scheme for the EU, a green future, free of fossil fuels. She demanded solidarity from the nations.
But solidarity is only possible when individual's self interests aren't threatened. Now cracks are forming as each individual EU member are demanding "exception" and "special circumstances". They had better sort out their solidarity before winter sets in. Perhaps they could do "group hugs" to keep each other warm?
This will test them for sure
lol, the only way is group hugs.

The deaths inflicted by the Spanish Portugese Dutch German French English across the globe is enough evidence of the barbarism..
Just that Physical barbarism pre 1400 AD got converted to intellectual barbarism with a BOoK in hand..
Well researched and bias free as we have come to trust. The presenter was lenient about Germany's blatant hypocrisy from February and before but there was too much else to reveal.
Hungary opposed the oil ban airily ordered by Ms von der Leyen (without a Council or even Commission vote) because their refineries would take years to switch to a different sort of crude oil and even Turkey's new Black Sea rigs produce similar crude to Russia. The issue was a technical one but remote bureaucrats with no legitimate expertise in anything practical are too high and mighty to have any research done.
Poland has large reserves of gas and is secure in refined oil by various means and good relations with fuel secure states not even in the EU -- Norway and Britain. ACTUAL trade is about trust between people and Anglo-Polish relations have a long history. Poland also tends to stand by Hungary dating back to the 1950s.
A major reason why Iberian states oppose VDL's wishes is because they face the Atlantic and although the USA is in decline South American countries have the right demographic for balanced development (to a green agenda) and a relationship is natural.
Italy is not in a good energy position but this could change with mixed initiatives inclusive of Turkish and African sources as well as the longer term development of Eurasian trade and port development to east central Europe and the Balkans. Austria is key in this and the Benelux countries will cease to be as important as hitherto in European trade to the west.
France likes to stay on good terms with Germany but on Energy France pleases itself and was never as stupid as Germany in risking a single source of energy on tap. Indeed France imports from Britain as it works on restoring its reactors and the oldest dedicated AC cable in Europe is under the Channel and dates back to 1953. It was a national venture not subject to EU rules at any time.
Estonia's use of Russian crude is blatant profiteering and has made the country unpopular in the region, especially with Poland, Lithuania and Finland because it raises legal issues of protection which could involve Kaliningrad.
The EEC as a trading union (carrying a peace dividend) worked in the wake of WW2 but its change to the EU and expanding political entity slowed development and favored some members more than others. When in danger of not getting policies passed by the Council it notoriously used bullying tactics and pseudo 'law' which finally alienated the UK population to vote to leave the EU by open and public referendum. But all manner of tactics and sanctions were attempted to force the UK to change its mind -- notably using Ireland as a lever.
The patchy responses to the Ukraine war, broken promises and delays by such as Germany and a crucial division between US ideas in the conflict and excessive 'personality posing' rather than critical analysis and care of real people devalued VDL's authority and that of the EU Commission.
In no way could the EU have ever been mistaken for a 'power', let alone a 'superpower'.

The thing about being the richest countries in the world is that thing's like food and energy really aren't something we have to worry about. Orc peasants will never understand lol.

@@hristiyanhristov2480 thats wat ur west media reports. We fucking rich bro
Thank you Palki Sharma and WION for this kind of true journalism! As EUropean I'm glad to have this perspective and reporting on things!
Very fascinating narration ❤️
I thought Europe is more United than ever lol
No, Biden thought that lol
So they said. Ha!
Exactly haha 😂
Oh!!!, What's the word, SOLIDARITY 😂😂
What do u mean? there is a war in east of europe, how can europe be more united than ever? lol...do u mean EU as in European Union? yes they are but they dont behave like they are, they never did in the past and they dont in the present but they always stand together when the clock hits 12.
African Union should have taken advantage of the situation and imports Russia oil. This oil and gas are sky rocketing, and it's affecting our businesses. I don't even understand why we produce crude oil and yet, rely on foreign countries for same oil importing
Exactly! Even Saudi took the opportunity to get cheap Russian oil. What’s wrong with our leaders in Africa, how slow can they be?
There are few types of oil, each used for different purposes and each requiring a different infrastructure to process.
@@theonly6359 They're not slow, they are Freemasons in league with the European agenda
@@bazejlib1625 yeah may be africa don't have that refineries to refine russia oil.
@@mayurpatel847 four countries in Africa have oil refineries:South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt and Algeria. South Africa has 4 refineries and 3 synfuels plants.
Just love those last punch lines "Super power in theory, but sitiing duck in practice" ! LOL
Thank you for this video.
What don't you understand? EU's expansion and development is based on cheap oil from Russia. Now that the leading countries in the EU feel the heat, the Union may be in big trouble!
IS in
The EU is a political cesspool and almost all their decisions stink !
TIME FOR CHANGE HAS ARRIVED!
The EU's problem is they want to live without Russia which is their biggest and most important source in many departments, so I believe they cannot be a useful EU without Russia, their biggest neighbor in EUROPEAN geography . To be honest, Putin is a reasonable man and has put up with a lot from everybody when he didn't have to, so if they want to have a good relationship with the man he's all ears, the problem is, the EURO zone seems to be controlled by external factors and that means none of them will stay in power too long to even be effective enough for their country and will leave office sooner or later.
The european citizens dont want anylonger to have anything to do with Putin therefore it doesnt matter if those in power will leave office soon, nobody will be elected that tries to be friend with Putin, politicians that try to make politic by promising to bend over to Putin will have zero chance.
Russia is a 3rd rate tinpot dictatorship that has virtually no relevance in the modern world.
The same who control america ..canada ..control also eu ...dont forget aprox. all leaders are Davos and Klaus Schwab ,,students"
I agree !
What if all the oligarchs are working together to create a crisis so that the Western & Russian oligarchs stay in power? Who is hurt the most by all these things? The people of Ukraine and the lower classes, who is gaining? The stock owners of the military & oil which the oligarchs predicted would go up.
THANK YOU ! !
VERY WELL DONE ! ! !

By winter, Poland and Baltic States will be the only EU countries to support Ukraine. Germany is a very pragmatic nation they will try to lift the sanctions
Western Europe, mainly Germany and France don't really want to see independent strong Ukraine. If they win this war and join EU, the geopolitical situation in Europe would change dramatically. Ukraine would be the biggest country in EU will goals and politics similar to that of Poland and the baltic states, especially if it comes to Russia.
It's ok friend. Ukraine is no more

Russia spent billions on Nordstream2, the EU killed the project after completion. That alone was enough for a Russian declaration, even before the invasion. The EU tried to bankrupt Russia, penalties will apply.

He's NOT allowed Bycicle Kicks in Buckingham Palace EITHER LOL
Perfect analysis!
She’s on point on everything
Agree that The European Community is becoming split on sanctions, and that’s how it should be, but please leave the UK out of the equation they’re not part of the EU, they have their own agenda and the Europeans want nothing to do with them.
How can you say such stupidity that the EU has its own agenda?
I think one cold winter will snap them out of it.
Yes UK closely following on US agenda 😂

Tbh no other country could have managed as well as Russia under all these sanctions
You call losing your military and going bankrupt managing well?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another street shitter who has never seen Russia outside of Moscow and Peterburg talking. Why do you talk when you obviously have 0 knowledge of Russia? Russia is in critical state outside the top3 big cities, it's awfully poor - it was before the war, it's even worse now.
What sanctions?!... sanctions don't exist in Soviet Union.

Im glad we i denmark at least still has our own currency.. would make us better in trading with other countrys. Like russia china India and so on
@@kimpossible4450 no its not. If our politicians took the head out of EUs butt. and startet producing again. our own currency value would rise, if we startet trading on our own with diffrent nations.. but when we are shackled by EU it is.. but its certainly not locked as the Euro is.. Denmark just need to raise value of its currency and give the Finger to EU. we have sadly said goodbye to alot of production from Denmark in the name of Green agenda.. and ofc corrupt politician selling out of goverment owned companys.
"Other countries are more shady about it, like Italy..." why am I not surprised 😅😅😅
This channel is far more interesting than any news channel out there.
sitting duck is a fancy term for them...US brothel must be a safe term..
EU is not a sitting duck. Take the 6 tranches of sanctions wholeheartedly applied by all members dealing an unprecedented blow to Russian economy, finance, logistics, airtransport, automobile manufacturing, shipping, gas pipeline maintenance, etc.Russia can not sell even the exempted items like fertilisers and food grains. Neutral Swiss and Austria too joined in some. The problem arises only in respect of energy products like coal,oil , gas and LNG. The potential impact of disruption of gas is humongous. Portugal and Hungary are on different ends on the dependency scale. EU is only a union ,neither more nor less. Members are sovereign nations individually responsible to their own population and parliament for the citizens' welfare.
Of course war is abominable. Many countries have accepted Ukranian refugees without murmur. What more could you expect ?
But the war is not any country's responsibility except Ukraine's. Why every one should suffer beyond a point for Ukraine's faults and fallacies? Remember how Ukraine aggressively talked to Canada and Germany not to respectively return and receive the repaired gas turbine.They want others to suffer more for Ukraine's cause.
All that Russia wanted was implementing the 2014 Minsk Accord guaranteed by Germany and France which envisaged giving limited a88387-17520utonomy to Donetsk and Lugansk within the nationhood of Ukraine , Ukraine's then President PETRO POROSHENKO now declared that he signed the agreement only as a time delay tactics and without any intention of following it.Ukraine built up its military heavily , entrenched it in Donbass and attacked its own citizens killing 15000 of them since 2014 and planned to take back Crimea. France and Germany were less than half hearted in applying pressure on Ukraine to implement the accord. Contrast it with their present energy and enthusiasm in supporting Ukraine. Though unlawful Russia invaded Ukraine as it could not bear ethnic Russians getting butchered and entertain losing its Naval base Crimea.
If Russia wanted to weaponise gas why did it build, with German help, the $ 10 billion Nordic Stream 2 pipeline that would now be supplying more gas without any hassle?
Russia depends on Europe for money and technology to the same extent that Europe depends on Russia for cheap and reliable energy. It is a mutually profitable arrangement sabotaged by USA that felt losing its grip over Europe if it integrates better with Russia.USA was ably supported by non EU member UK less dependent on Russia for gas.
It is this awareness and guilty conscience that Macron displays in trying not to damage relationship with Russia beyond repair. Russia and Europe need each other. Europe has not been wise in its reaction and response. Neither does it have the courage to discard America's exhortations to protect its own interests.
Good analysis.
The more countries that see Russia as enemy the more countries that buy America weapons they dont necessarily need. America first is why we love/hate America depending on who you are.

@@boristohla5063 how defferent???,
Biden didn't know that Putin has never lost a Chess game. Lol
Absolutely correct.
When this war started, I thought Putin had fallen into America's trap but actually its Europe that fell into Putin's trap 😅
More like they trap themselves,Putin had already warm them,not to come close to the fire.
* it’s Europe that fell into America’s trap 🪤
Ukraine & EU fell in US trap. Putin is having the laugh of his lifetime
I think both underestimated each other. What Putin thought it is going to be few weeks operation has dragged on to 6 months. Putin has made some progress, but at a very high cost. West is trying to defeat Russia militarily. The advanced weapons which the west supplied helped Ukraine to show resistance, but at the same time Ukrainians are losing men daily about 150-200 people and this will effect their morale. Russians outnumber Ukrainians multiple times. Overall, I think this is a senseless war.
In both cases who won USA ofcourse they didn't loose soldiers make profit from oil market weaken their enemy keep in check china play with EU interests also send message to France forced India to follow US interest while oil market is squeezed they still didn't relief Iran and Venezuela 😂 good move by uncle Joe
Finally, both Russia and Britain were always keen to see European powers weaken each other. That reflex is still there. The European Union, with all its imperfections, is the polar opposite of these medieval power games, and is therefore a fundamental threat to their outdated vision of the world. This is why they are now, each in their own way, out to undermine the EU.
The strength of a partnership is the combined efforts and resources of all the partners involved. The weakness of it is that there are sometimes too many voices, that making decisions becomes harder to agree and execute on.
Everybody gangsta until they see Estonia selling Russian oil to Saudi Arabia
Putin plays chest while western leaders don't understand checkers.
Tnx 666
Putin the Godfather of Europe ..while the rest of Europe sleep with the fishes 😂😂🤡
Sane voice from our a Madhouse of today. Thank you.
So the message is: "Either you become one single state/government or you are a collection of sitting ducks".
This idea never went down well in London and Moscow, more comfortable as they are with power politics. They felt belittled, constrained and, sometimes, ridiculed. Thus began, almost at once, a slow process of alienation - away from Europe, and back to ghosts and fantasies.
