What can Germany expect in the event of a Russian gas stop?
so poland is bringing in weapons to supply ukraine from the usa and nato, and now cry because russia is cutting off fuel supplies? NEVER saw that coming.
Why putin cut off the gas supplies ? What did Poland do?
Wishes granted. Why crying?
Other than energy big issue, EU must also worry about feeding the refugee/Ukrainians. The more long war, the more suffer for EU. Very brilliant strategy from Lord Putin.
Good job
This whole issue is becoming more complicated by the hour!! Why not sit down with the belligerents and address the anxieties each side has?
It is hard to start a war when you have no military or equipment. Putin takes toys built for soviet era warfare to a modern battle zone. His cartoon soldiers are massacred by Ukrainians and his equipment wiped out by american javelins and instead of ending the war, it has been one embarrassment after another for Russia. It were better for Putin to jump the cliff by now.
Media making fool out of ppl
How ll Germany make tanks without gas
Your headline should be: "Poland and Bulgaria refuse to pay for Russian gas." They can get Russian gas, they just are required to pay in roubles like Germany is already doing
Not only gas. We will cut all resorces to eu! China and south-east asian economy needs gas and oil! Their economy will be stronger and europens will be working hard to supply expensive weapon to ukraina and feed refugees! I think that prices and taxes in eu fly to the sky!
You have taken only 3 millions of ukrainians and other 40 millions are yet to come! They need apartments to live in, food to eat, clothes ets.
Mysterious 🔥 in russia ?? Probably a drunk Russian troop tripped over his own foot with a lit cigg 🤣
Poland and Bulgaria should declare war on USA.
now Europe will go back to stone age…hahahahahahaha
NO MONEY NO HONEY 🍯🍯😂😂
Governments in Europe, now especially Poland and Bulgaria, are now facing fuel shortages, high prices, and energy dependency on the repressive and brutal Putin's Neo-Bolshevist Russia. This happened because the green and organized environmentalist groups, financed by Putin as it appears, created Europe's dependency on Russian natural gas and other fuels. This dependency has emboldened Kremlin tyrant Putin and his Bolshevism and made possible his war of aggression against Nationalistic Ukraine. Thus, these crazy environmentalist groups are responsible in some ways for this Putin's war.
So, TRUMP was right, again🤓
Now Poland and Bulgaria's EU neighbors can make some extra $ by selling them the same Russian gas! lol😉 And why exactly Poland and Bulgaria, do everybody else in EU agreed to pay in rubles, huh? 🤔 I wonder if Puti pays Zeli in rubles for oil and gas transit through Ukraine? I doubt that! lol Also wonder when this circus is going to end?

TRUMP STRONG !! like ManlyMan Pootin & Talibans & marjorie Horseface
WTF? What do you expect? Those 2 BS countries want the rest of the NATO alliance to have a war with Russia while taking side with Ukraine another BS country. I stay home buy russian gas cheap and sell it to Poland and Bulgaria with a hefty profit, to increase my SS monthly benefits.
So everyone is allowed to sanction Russia but then the world freaks out when Russia does the same thing?
POLAND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE GAS THAT RUSSIA SUPPLIES!!!! DUE TO THE SANCTIONS, THE ONLY OPTIONA ARE TO PAY IN RUBBLES OR GOLD. POLAND HAS REFUSED BOTH OPTIONS. DOES ANYONE EXPECT RUSSIA TO SUPPLY FREE GAS TO POLAND? LET ME KNOW. AMERICA MEDIA = FAKE NEWS.
As a Pole, I will write that there is no reason to panic . Poland has been expecting it for years and preparing for it . Poland is not a Russian province like, for example, Germany and Hungary . Poland has built a gas port, a gas pipeline with Norway, a connection with the Lithuanian gas port, increased its gas production, expanded storage facilities, and built new gas compressor stations. At the end of this year, the Polish contract for the purchase of gas in Russia expired and it was not planned to sign a new one . The fact that Putin broke the contract earlier is good for Poland, because it will be able to receive billions of dollars in compensation from Russia . Poland has already won in court and received 1.5 billion dollars in compensation from Russia, which was paid by Gazprom in 2020 . A Polish woman used this money well, buying modern weapons in the USA with it in order to repel the possible aggression of fascist Russian troops . Probably people know that Putin built a special church in Moscow in which the main relic to which he prays is the Hitler's hat taken from his bunker in Berlin in 1945 by Russians
sounds like what is happening to US we have a tyrant cutting off OUR gas supply
Bravo Russia…💪 sanctioning Russia in itself is “blackmail”… hypocrites!!! If war breaks out they should bring it to us soil and stop destroying other countries only!!!
So, if the Russian economy was in a deplorable state and the sanction were hurting Russia than why would they do this.
Russia gas Bluff: will end selling ( almost for free) gas to China. No One else want it any more. At the end will only receive Yuan RMB – China paper money ….
Short term inconvenience Longer term big gains for Poland Bulgaria and the rest of Europe. The Western world can do without Russian gas or oil, Russia cannot do without European Dollars or they have to sell a lot Matryoshka dolls https://youtu.be/aLv-W9eeJsE
If you don't pay your utility bill this is the usual outcome. This is just another consequence of electing a mental defective in the white house. If you don't let Russia sell gas with Euros, they will sell it with Rubles . But they don't want to buy it with Rubes. So sorry . The sanctions are hurting the west more than Russia. So what did Biden just do ? Closed down more oil drilling in Alaska. I thought only Obama followed Saul Alinsky's rules. Hang on folks, the midterms are only seven months away !
Read this: You know what? How about we the people just stop obeying our leaders all at once and suddenly there is no war? Ummm…let's put the leaders in a cage where they can fight each other best they want, whilst we the people love eachother and cook good food and party?
I'm sure he has a market for the gas…or NOT… Anyway, let him cut it off.. Remember, such actions are Temporary.. Once he is out of power, a saner Russia will try to regain INCOME..!!
Some people said that Poland is ready to pay high price for Norway's gas once the pipeline is completed in November this year.
Well, the problem is Norway's already export 95% of it's capacity. Currently the big importers are Britain, Germany, France and Belgium. Norway said the state gas company will increase the output. And these countries also heavily relied on Russia's gas. Imagine Russia really stop gas supply to NATO's countries?
It means Poland has to compete with Germany, Britain, France, etc for Norway's gas. These countries have huge industries. Do you think Germany and France would sacrifice it's economic? As rich countries, of course they will buy all Norway's gas at higher price, which other small Europe's countries can't compete. Who do you think Norway will chose? Poland or Germany or France etc?
"Russia Blackmailing Countries With Gas" 🤣😂🤣 Yeah and my local store is "blackmailing" me too because I REFUSE TO PAY.
That's good news to europe 🙂
Uraaaaaa
Lots of Russian supporters under almost every single video about this topic on youtube, did not know Putin have so many fans worldwide, interesting.
Joe Biden : I did that…
CONGRATS TO VLADIMIR ❤️❤️❤️ WELL DONE!
