Apparently, European bureaucrats aren’t living in the same fantasy realm as American bureaucrats.
Americans are literally operating on the premise that they can shut down all oil imports, cut all food imports, and just put up windmills everywhere and eat lentils.
It must be noted: it was all of these Great American Thinkers who came up with the idea that a global liberal order where everyone was dependent on each other through complex and nonsensical crisscrossing supply lines would prevent war – then decided to have a war with Russia.

The European Commission has confirmed that it expects the EU to remain dependent on energy imports from Russia for at least another five years, the TASS news agency reported on Monday.
In response to a question posed during a press briefing in Brussels as to how soon US liquefied natural gas (LNG) would help Europe ditch Russian gas, European Commission Spokesperson for Climate Action and Energy Tim McPhie said the bloc would “be dependent on carbon fuels from Russia until 2027.” McPhie said the EU had estimated it could reduce its dependence on Russian gas by two-thirds this year and that a detailed plan about how it would achieve this would be presented by the end of May.
McPhie’s comments follow the bloc’s talks with the United States last week, which focused on an expansion of American LNG supplies to the European Union as a way to reduce the continent’s dependence on Russian gas. US President Joe Biden had met with Brussels officials to try to push for an embargo on Russian oil too, which Europe had refrained from imposing, citing recession fears.
The statement released by the US and the European Commission on energy security after the summit affirmed their “joint resolve to terminate EU dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027,” and announced that a working group had been set up to achieve that end.
This is just reality.
Germany shut down all its nuclear power plants for literally no reason. Okay, Fukushima had an issue. Japan is on a fault line. Also, Fukushima was a big exaggeration.
I remember when Fukushima happened Alex Jones went into Alex Jones mode and started saying that the nuclear radiation was going to blow across the Pacific Ocean and poison everyone. Some guy from Tennessee called into the show like a month after the event and was like, “Alex, I’m keeping my kids inside so they don’t get the radiation poisoning, but I’m not sure how long I can keep them indoors, I’m just wondering when it will be safe to go outside.”
It wasn’t that big of a deal. Nothing really happened. They didn’t poison the ocean, they didn’t even poison the people living in the area. Anyway – there are no earthquakes in Germany.
There are all kinds of energy reserves in Scandinavia, primarily off the coast of Norway.
There were all kinds of different decisions that could have been made here.
I hate to even say it, but the Orange Man was right about virtually everything he said, it was just his policies that were garbage. He said “you people keep telling me Russia is the enemy and all of Europe is dependent on them.”
Russia is taking a hard line on all unfriendly countries paying in rubles.
Saying “Russia is not a charity” is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. Again, Russia is doing a deadpan thing with a lot of this stuff.
TASS:
Moscow is handling the details of its gas delivery plans to unfriendly countries for payment in rubles, but it won’t engage in charity if Europe refuses to pay in the Russian currency, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin requested reporting on measures on the issue before March 31. “The supply process is very complicated,” Peskov said, adding that it includes “both the supplies, the payment, as well as adjustment of balances.” “Currently all modalities are being developed by the departments, with Gazprom, after which a clear timeframe will be defined,” he said when asked what particularly should be implemented during this period.
The Kremlin spokesman remained tight-lipped on what measures Russia might take if Europe refused to pay for gas in rubles, noting that these “issues should be sorted out as they develop.” “But we will definitely not supply gas for free, that’s for sure. It is hardly possible and reasonable to engage in charity in our situation,” he emphasized.
Well, what they’re going to do is cut it off and sell it to China and let these maniacs freeze to death.
Calling Putin’s bluff has thus far not worked out for any of these pederasts.
They are going to have to pay in rubles.
Russia is all of the Dark Knight villains.
They feel in charge and they don’t care about the money; they care about sending a message.
The ruble is already on the road to redemption.
When the eurofaggots and pedo nips are forced to buy all of these rubles to pay for gas to keep from freezing to death, the ruble is going to be worth more than it was before. Maybe a lot more.
The West appears to be trying to ban forex speculation, but it probably would make sense to be buying rubles if possible.
At the same time as they’re doing this rubles deal, they are able to shut off power to Europe during a hot war.
I guess Germany should… start building more windmills?
