I don't understand Europe's logic. They ban all Russian business but if Russia bans its oil they are shocked and cry human rights !! What were they thinking?
Not only ban Russian business,but in other words declare war to Russia..they said wanna regime change in Russia,destroy Russian economy and at the end sending weapons to enemy of Russia in real battlefield.

The same countries complaining about gas shortages keep announcing new shipments of weapons to Ukraine. Easy to figure out why they are being punished.
I´m Dutch. We have one of the biggest gas fields in the world. When discovered in 1959, it was the biggest on the planet. We stopped using it recently, because it caused moderate earth quakes. The government is able to compensate the local inhabitants very generously for all damages caused, and still make a huge profit. But they refrain from doing that, telling me they WANT this crisis. No need to blame Russia. Germany has plenty nuclear power plants, but their govenment prefers coal and Russian gas. Again, self inflicted. Destroying their own economy while blaming Putin, Trump, Covid, climate change, or the common folk. That seems to be the trend, lately.
I'm from Denmark we have our own oil and gas, beside is gas just a little percentage of our use, we use mostly wind and sun for heat and electricy....... So keep your gas and vodka 🤮
@@mortenfrandsen Every European country benefits from good trade relations with Russia. Thinking "gas and wodka" are the only Russian natural resources that the European economic relies on is shortsighted and uninformed. Russia is a leading producer of coal, diamonds, aluminum, lime, lead, gypsum, iron ore, bauxite, gallium, boron, mica, natural gas, potash, platinum, oil, rare earth metals, peat, nitrogen, cadmium, arsenic, magnesium, molybdenum, phosphate, sulfur, titanium sponge, silicon, uranium, tellurium, vanadium, tungsten, cobalt, graphite, silver, vermiculite, selenium, rhenium, copper and gold. Even Denmark can't supply those resources from wind and sun.

Qengold remember it was Russia who attacked not the rest of Europe they countered with sanctions and the sanctions on Russia haven't truly come into affect yet Russia is gonna be a third world country soon enough its already lost its credibility of having a strong military

@@leninha5549 One Wise Man called Valluvar, lived in India before 2000 years, he written a book called 'Thirukkural'. One of his couplets (# 471) explains something relevant to the current situation: "Let (one) weigh well the strength of the deed (he purposes to do), his own strength, the strength of his enemy, and the strength of the allies (of both), and then let him act."
The Europeans already got together and agreed to a plan to end Russian gas/oil supplies over a period of time, along with a plan to collectively ration gas if Putin decided to cut off supplies early. Wion doesn't mention that because it doesn't fit the narrative that Europe is somehow surprised by all this. Europe is prepared for Russian gas supply to end tomorrow.
We already know the answer. They expected to cripple Russia's economy. The EU leaders are far too proud to admit that their sanctions backfired, or that Russia's economy is back to pre war levels. They hit Putin with a sucker punch, and he hit em back.
@@Sky-yo1ym no.they thought Russia can't stop gas as gas will become their sole way of trade to survive and hence Russia can't touch the gas. But were they wrong.
Russia has granted the request and fulfilled the European sanctions imposed on the country and their conglomerate. It's strange why Russia is considered to be attacking? Isn't Russia being sanctioned and Europe saying it doesn't need Russian gas months ago?

The European paradox. We want to cut supply from Russia, but not now, we got an agenda to respect in order to achieve this goal, maybe by 2030 but meanwhile we sanctions you. Big trolls.
Because EU can't suddenly reconfigure their entire energy infrastructure overnight to stop using Russian energy. These things take a very long time. They will stop using Russian energy after they secure alternatives. Russia also can't just shut of taps overnight because they depend on the revenue and their contractual obligations. It's easy for you to write that from the comfort of your keyboard but try putting it to practice while running the third largest economic entity in the world and you'll see what a cake walk it is. Idiot.
This literally happened in Canada too, it’s basically happening everywhere in the world, which means it isn’t actually Russia that is cutting the gas supply, it’s multiple different governments from this world, especially the WEF.

Europe felt real smug when they went on their podiums and announced their sanctions "packages". And dictated how they would not pay in rubles. And dictated that they would place a price cap on the gas they buy. From a country that they are sanctioning. A brutal reality has finally dawned. I don't think Europe will ever be the same again.
Very very rich? Lol. First, you need to buy gas and oil. Even if you find some oil, that's going to be very expensive. Remember, you eat food, not money. It's just a paper after all. If people stop giving value to it, you have to eat sand, rocks, and also that paper you call currency.
It looks as if Putin is right now more consistent and honest with his warnings and statements.

India will try and join NATO when China attacks, because Putin will side with China. BTW sycophantic support for Putin by Indians like you won't change Putin's mind.
Europe knew from the very beginning this trouble was coming. They might have expected more from their trade sanctions, but they were not expecting they would NOT suffer from such economic war. The betrayal felt runs deep. There just was no alternative.
Germany was naive to be 60% depended on Russian energy, and Europe must be very naive to think they won't suffer after putting sanctions. In this case Europe has to choose one, high gas price now, or your sons getting drafter in the future, when Russian imperialism reach their door step, because this is what will happen if sanctions against Putin-Russians is relaxed. it will only embolden Putin to go for the baltic states.
Perhaps the pain that Russia will cause them will have the opposite effect that many posting here think. Pain can stiffen resolve. Most people in Europe do not support the actions of the Russians. They understand that Russia has acted without honor.
@@jb2736 I believe you meant "naive." This is possibly true. In response to your comment, what will the reactions be? Will Europeans beg Russia to give them their gas and promise to give them what they want? Will Europeans look for alternatives to the Russian gas? They may have some rough times, but some people are willing to forego immediate gratification and comfort for a longer term reward. Time will tell what the Europeans will do.
Russia needs to shut down gas supplies to european countries for a month! Set the rules and reopen only if they agree to Drop all sanctions. Don't forget pay in rubles!!
That’s exactly what USA Or EU would have done if they were in Russia’s place. Russia is demonstrating they’re a *reliable business partner* and don’t use its contracts as blackmail or a weapon. This fact alone proves USA/EU narrative “you depend on Russia’s gas, russia uses it against you” is false. Russia has never used its contracts as blackmail to force countries to do what it wants. This also shows other partners they won’t use their gas/oil sales against them. Now let’s fast forward and get to the point when Europe won’t depend on Russian gas anymore, who will they depend on? Yep... USA.... can we really say USA doesn’t use its contracts/sales as blackmail against its partners?! After them blocking, essentially STEALING 300bln of Russia’s reserve’s, after thousands of illegal sanctions, after unilaterally abandoning its contracts with Russia, after forcing other countries to put sanctions against Russia which are NOT in these countries favour, after walking all over the laws on private assets and so on and so on. When Europe will depend on USA with its gas/oil - their sovereignty will seize to exist completely. USA will be in full control of Europe. Or do they really think they will buy gas/oil a little bit from random countries? Yeah right lol 😂
The EU is not representing the interest of the European people. It is just a puppet of US, British interest. This is the time to cut the strings and create a new independent EU that is democratic, that does represent the people, and is a reliable power to other countries. First thing to do is stop the war simply by not fueling it. For EU citizens both Ukrainian and Russian lives matter. Second thing is to mitigate the damage caused by the food shortage. And then we might regain trust of those countries that we lost. This is crucial for future stability.
European Union are drawn into a proxy war by the Americans. Now Americans will sell high price NLG to Europe with high price. This is business and loyalty lessons for the Europeans. Ans who suffers the most, the common citizens blindly convinced that supporting the Americans to put more fuel in the war. Putin is not right but two wrong doesn't make right.
Europe: we are sanctioning Russia, freeze its asset, cut it off from world banking and arming Ukraine against Russia. Europe: why Russia blackmails us by cutting off the gas supply? Rest of the world: huh?

The biggest problem is another on the long run. Many European nations enjoyed a huge competitive advantage in industrial production thanks to the very low price of Russian gas and oil. Germany, the Europe's locomotive, despite having a high labor cost, exported a lot thanks to the low cost of energy. This is no longer the case, because gas and oil imported from other countries cost a lot more. China and India, on the other hand, have never stopped importing Russian gas and oil, so in the near future their products will be even more competitive than Western ones. I anticipate the closure of many industries in Europe and massive layoffs in the coming years. The most penalized will be energy-intensive commercial activities.

It is clear Europe need Russia GAZ in one way or another, therefore they should be the one who Russia instead. There's no permanent enemy in politics, history provided facts , it is matter of interest to switch side, if Europe really think that Washington love them , try to cut ties with them just to be neutral and ask them to leave you will see how immediately they will ask Russia to take over your territories. I think Russia has been good to Europe, after all failed invasion from western countries, Napoleon, Hitler, Europe is a treat to Russia. ERA of invading countries and taking over their resources for free will not keep working in the same way they did from colonialism up to very recent arabe countries invasion.
European nations have thought Russia is dependent on European money. Remember there are so many takers for oil and gas in the international market. If you think you are the only one, then you are absolutely wrong. Remember customers are not kings as opposed to what we listen to in our daily lives, especially when there are others to buy your products in abundance. Not to mention these European countries think they are rich and no one goes against them, but they got rich because of Russia, so you need to keep that in mind. Never annoy your boss, else you will become a beggar overnight. The longer this war prolongs, the more vulnerable Europe gets. Globalization is a concept created by western nations to reap its benefits. If tomorrow the world decides to go independent, European nations are the first nations who go bankrupt and become the poster boy for poverty-ridden nations on the planet.
They didnt ger rich because of Russia, they got rich during the soviet era, when Russia was an adversary. We have been naive in thinking that Russia had changed and could take part in peaceful cooperation. We ignored the signs, but now see clearly that Russia is still a totalitarian regime.

Go and tell these moral values who listen to this western BS, not us. Speaking of standing against Russia, you simply can't. If it comes to that stage, Europe is the one who is going to lose everything by standing against Russia, which is why you collaborated with the US in NATO. The European Union has only got economic might and that too will be gone with sky-high oil prices and gas. You will see a decline in the European economy in the upcoming years. You simply can't take on Russia just like Ukraine. Russia has enormous power to even topple European governments with its oil and gas control. You must stop supporting Ukraine. If not, the decline is not very far for Europe. The longer the war goes on, Europe will lose leverage over Russia. In the long run, it's Russia that benefits from this conflict. He already planned a different currency system in BRICS, which is 25% of the world GDP. Imagine that kind of economy getting rid of international currency. The consequences are going to be devastating for the western world. Not to forget the refusal of accepting Euros which could make the euro lose its value in the international market. You (the EU) simply can't go against Putin. He's too powerful to go against, especially when the rest of the world is supporting him financially. In the upcoming months, even African and South American countries will also seek the help of Russia for oil and gas. Europe is just like Ukraine, except for a bigger economy. Putin won't take his chances unless he's pretty much sure of his success. He's a KGB agent. Remember that. Not your usual western politician that barks whatever the garbage that comes from his mouth. He only talks when its absolutely needed.

Norway, we dont have enough gas, we allready sell to much electricty to europe, and now our electricty at home is expensive as hell, and most of our houses need alot of electricty in the winter...
In Norway we use water to generate electricity not gas. If we doesn't export electricity to Europe the prices will be low. We sell gas to Europe from the north sea.
We danes also pay quite a lot for our energy at the moment, because of all the disruption internationally, this is to be expected for a while, but we scandinavian brothers and sisters will manage, it's all about prioritizing in the end anyway, and that's something we are used to, it's not a catastrophe as such :D
Germany forgets that the leaders of other countries will do whatever is in their countries best interest-and that does not necessarily mean that they will want to continue sanctions.
EU must have secretly switched to coal for their energy. What happens to their environmental cause now? If any developing country continues to use coal because they have no other option, they are heavily criticized. But it is ok if it is ok if developed countries do it.
They have infact started using coal where they can. But i have a sneaky feeling that the coal they use will inevitably come from russia. And it will be fun for them to try and run an economy with significantly higher energy costs than China, Russia and Russian friends and allies. Not to mention the loss of many many other commodities. And The russian/chinese commodity backed trade currency is another blow that is coming down the pipeline.
As a energy efficiency consultant, I can tell you all these 'green energy' alternatives are very energy intensive. They only make sense when energy like gas and oil are cheap. Its an irony not many people understand. Rich countries tend to be 'Green and Sustainable' because they can afford it, now that they can't afford the cheap energy 'green and sustainability' will need to take a pause until the times are good again.
🤣🤣🤣 you will see millions of europeans, like me, frozing to death....that would be nice for many haters to see. We endured 2k years of wars....i belive we can manage 1 more winter.
lol... And even if we do gas economy for the next winter. We need to stock it somewhere... It's not just a spared volume that will be available next year. It's a supply stream. But don't worry, we got an agenda for 2030 😂
We are digging rn 20km deep holes into the ground, the deepest ever dug (so far 7km was the limit) with new technology other parts of the earth can't even dream of, to connect to the earths mantle for sustainable energy supply, that pretty much never ends. You really think Europe has even started yet? Isn't it suspicious that Europe is so calm? Never underestimate our Engineering, while Russias engineering is also well, actually modern engineering originated in Russia, they let lose their focus of it while we sustained it. We didn't expect Russia to make this move, it will hurt, but we don't care. 2-3 years of cold? Pardon me, but we ain't sissies, and the one of us that are will cry and than stop, they are useless most of the times anyways. Remember. The one that laughs at last, will laugh the best.
Russia is very kind and gentle. If the gas was to be flowing from EU to Russia, EU would hav cut it off on the very first minute of 24th feb(beginning of the military operation.) Just see how tolerant and peaceful Russia is. They kept feeding EU even when EU had blackmailed Russia and called it an enemy.
@@vesamustonen1460 We've seen enough of NATO and US invasion of sovereign nation. NATO and US expansion in Ukraine invite the special military operations from Russia to secure her mother country, just like the US and NATO did on pretext of threat to their security against Syria, Libya Vietnam, Iraq, Iran Afghanistan. Most developing countries were against those war. But NATO countries and US didn't give a damn about sovereignty of those countries they invaded and destroy. Now most countries felt the same Russia as a country has the right to protect and secure her own people in eastern Ukraine and mother Russia from NATO expansion. Ukraine is just a pawn use by the US and NATO allies to corner and weakened Russia.

I´m Dutch. We have one of the biggest gas fields in the world. When discovered in 1959, it was the biggest on the planet.
We stopped using it recently, because it caused moderate earth quakes. The government is able to compensate the local inhabitants very generously for all damages caused, and still make a huge profit.
But they refrain from doing that, telling me they WANT this crisis. No need to blame Russia.

Wion doesn't mention that because it doesn't fit the narrative that Europe is somehow surprised by all this. Europe is prepared for Russian gas supply to end tomorrow.

That’s exactly what USA Or EU would have done if they were in Russia’s place. Russia is demonstrating they’re a *reliable business partner* and don’t use its contracts as blackmail or a weapon. This fact alone proves USA/EU narrative “you depend on Russia’s gas, russia uses it against you” is false. Russia has never used its contracts as blackmail to force countries to do what it wants. This also shows other partners they won’t use their gas/oil sales against them. Now let’s fast forward and get to the point when Europe won’t depend on Russian gas anymore, who will they depend on? Yep... USA.... can we really say USA doesn’t use its contracts/sales as blackmail against its partners?! After them blocking, essentially STEALING 300bln of Russia’s reserve’s, after thousands of illegal sanctions, after unilaterally abandoning its contracts with Russia, after forcing other countries to put sanctions against Russia which are NOT in these countries favour, after walking all over the laws on private assets and so on and so on. When Europe will depend on USA with its gas/oil - their sovereignty will seize to exist completely. USA will be in full control of Europe. Or do they really think they will buy gas/oil a little bit from random countries? Yeah right lol 😂

While everybody is talking about the sanctions we take against Russia, the greatest threat to Russia comes from within: the braindrain that is happening.
From the outbreak of the war, thousands and thousands of young, educated russians have fled the country. Scientists, engineers etc... have all emigrated to the "West" while western engineers and scientists, working in Russia, have returned, never to go back (as long as Putin rules).
Over time, that will have a profound effect on the Russian economy and society.

I really appreciate Russia for helping Europeans to cut their gas supplies and dependence on Russia........

And Russia is cooperating with the eu plans 100% that's the amazing part of it. what a loyal country and leader of Russia
That was EU's own doing, don't get us involved. The US cut Russian imports because of the EU.
Palki you are so articulate, just love listening to you.
The biggest problem is another on the long run. Many European nations enjoyed a huge competitive advantage in industrial production thanks to the very low price of Russian gas and oil. Germany, the Europe's locomotive, despite having a high labor cost, exported a lot thanks to the low cost of energy. This is no longer the case, because gas and oil imported from other countries cost a lot more. China and India, on the other hand, have never stopped importing Russian gas and oil, so in the near future their products will be even more competitive than Western ones.
I anticipate the closure of many industries in Europe and massive layoffs in the coming years. The most penalized will be energy-intensive commercial activities.
and Ukrain joker will blame Russia for this as well. where is uncle Bid?
Let them reduce on there dependency on other countries it's time they become innovative and thanks to the USA for its showing up it's weakness in this war because it has now given African dictators ago ahead with there military rules because they have shown weakness in Ukraine.

The west wants to crash their economies and bring I the shit reset. This is, all part if their plan. It would have happened sooner but Clinton lost in 2016.

European nations have thought Russia is dependent on European money. Remember there are so many takers for oil and gas in the international market. If you think you are the only one, then you are absolutely wrong.
Remember customers are not kings as opposed to what we listen to in our daily lives, especially when there are others to buy your products in abundance.
Not to mention these European countries think they are rich and no one goes against them, but they got rich because of Russia, so you need to keep that in mind.
Never annoy your boss, else you will become a beggar overnight. The longer this war prolongs, the more vulnerable Europe gets.
Globalization is a concept created by western nations to reap its benefits. If tomorrow the world decides to go independent, European nations are the first nations who go bankrupt and become the poster boy for poverty-ridden nations on the planet.
They didnt ger rich because of Russia, they got rich during the soviet era, when Russia was an adversary. We have been naive in thinking that Russia had changed and could take part in peaceful cooperation. We ignored the signs, but now see clearly that Russia is still a totalitarian regime. They invaded a soereign democracy that is now asking us for help. Were we supposed to watch as Russians execute Ukranians in the streets and shell entire cities?
@@peterpeterpeter6315, interesting! You have no respect for the middle east lives, but you got respect for Ukrainians. This must be the highest order of double standards.
Go and tell these moral values who listen to this western BS, not us.
Speaking of standing against Russia, you simply can't. If it comes to that stage, Europe is the one who is going to lose everything by standing against Russia, which is why you collaborated with the US in NATO.
The European Union has only got economic might and that too will be gone with sky-high oil prices and gas.
You will see a decline in the European economy in the upcoming years. You simply can't take on Russia just like Ukraine.
Russia has enormous power to even topple European governments with its oil and gas control.
You must stop supporting Ukraine. If not, the decline is not very far for Europe. The longer the war goes on, Europe will lose leverage over Russia. In the long run, it's Russia that benefits from this conflict.
He already planned a different currency system in BRICS, which is 25% of the world GDP. Imagine that kind of economy getting rid of international currency. The consequences are going to be devastating for the western world.
Not to forget the refusal of accepting Euros which could make the euro lose its value in the international market.
You (the EU) simply can't go against Putin. He's too powerful to go against, especially when the rest of the world is supporting him financially.
In the upcoming months, even African and South American countries will also seek the help of Russia for oil and gas.
Europe is just like Ukraine, except for a bigger economy. Putin won't take his chances unless he's pretty much sure of his success. He's a KGB agent. Remember that. Not your usual western politician that barks whatever the garbage that comes from his mouth. He only talks when its absolutely needed.
Here in my country the shop owner is a king while the customers queue up to buy with low nice voice. But wiat a minute, can eu survive the decades they have been trolling the world less privilege in poverty pretending they supporting them with aid?
nobody uses gas like europe does, we have hard winter, that said, we use most of russian gas only in industry wich in my opinion is poluting and should be stoped, this only helps EU to evolve so let them cut it... we need to get rid of fossil fuels anyway...people are already switching to electric heating around EU, so if u as me this is helping europe and also other countries that might need rusian gas for cheap...
USA and Russia both are the boss of EU now Eu is thinking that which boss is more profitable for them

In Norway we use water to generate electricity not gas. If we doesn't export electricity to Europe the prices will be low. We sell gas to Europe from the north sea.
We danes also pay quite a lot for our energy at the moment, because of all the disruption internationally, this is to be expected for a while, but we scandinavian brothers and sisters will manage, it's all about prioritizing in the end anyway, and that's something we are used to, it's not a catastrophe as such :D

EU must have secretly switched to coal for their energy. What happens to their environmental cause now? If any developing country continues to use coal because they have no other option, they are heavily criticized. But it is ok if it is ok if developed countries do it.
They have infact started using coal where they can. But i have a sneaky feeling that the coal they use will inevitably come from russia.
And it will be fun for them to try and run an economy with significantly higher energy costs than China, Russia and Russian friends and allies.
Not to mention the loss of many many other commodities.
And The russian/chinese commodity backed trade currency is another blow that is coming down the pipeline.
EU has major energy problems. You are correct that the russian invasion of ukraine has increased coal usage.
As a energy efficiency consultant, I can tell you all these 'green energy' alternatives are very energy intensive. They only make sense when energy like gas and oil are cheap. Its an irony not many people understand. Rich countries tend to be 'Green and Sustainable' because they can afford it, now that they can't afford the cheap energy 'green and sustainability' will need to take a pause until the times are good again.
