@principo @ricwe123 So the problem is Ukraine. Always Ukraine. They blow up our energy supplies or work a massive scam with the US to force us to buy US LPG. Always "the ukraine" problem. We need rid of it.

@tkpearson @ricwe123 I am old enough to remember that in 2022 Russia wanted to freeze the EU as punishment for supporting Ukraine and started playing shit around pipeline maintenance.

"There is one pipe left of Nord Stream 2, it's not damaged and is good for 27.5 trillion cubic meters of gas. There is only one decision the German government could make to reduce energy costs and we turn on the tap, but Washington decides and says no" (Vladimir Putin)

@owenwicks268488 @ricwe123 @GuellichChr The EU is willing to destroy the lives of 450 million people instead of getting realistic.

@ricwe123 @GuellichChr Putin just won't let go of his dream.

@principo @ricwe123 Europe blocked it.

@ricwe123 The Nord Stream 1 pipeline stopped working way before it was exploded. Guess why.

BREAKING: President Trump just told 450 million Europeans: sign my deal by Thursday or I cut your gas. And if you think this is impulsive, you are not paying attention. This is the most calculated energy play in American history. Qatar’s LNG is offline. Force Majeure. Ras Laffan shut after Iranian drones hit it on Day 3. Seventeen percent of global LNG capacity gone for 3 to 5 years. Russia’s pipeline gas to Europe was severed after Ukraine. Norway is maxed. Europe’s LNG prices have surged 35 to 50 percent since Hormuz closed. One supplier remains at scale: the United States. Trump’s ambassador to the EU just told the Parliament: ratify the $750 billion trade deal without amendments by Thursday March 26, or lose “favorable access” to American LNG. Now decode the strategic geopolitical chess game which is being played in realtime. Saturday night, Trump posted a 48-hour ultimatum threatening to obliterate Iranian power plants. That was not about Iran. That was about oil prices. He needed them high enough to terrify Europe into ratifying the LNG deal, but not so high that American consumers revolted before the midterms. The ultimatum spiked Brent past $113 and WTI past $100 on Sunday. Monday morning, Trump posted about “productive conversations” and paused the power plant strikes for five days. Oil crashed over 10 percent in hours. WTI hit $89. The S&P surged $2 trillion. He spiked oil to create the fear. Then crashed it to create the relief. The fear makes Europe sign. The relief makes American voters forgive the war. Both moves serve the same president. Both happened within 36 hours. Both were executed with social media posts, not missiles. The $750 billion deal is the permanent monetisation of Europe’s energy vulnerability. LNG. Oil. Civil nuclear. Locked in until 2028. The EU had been delaying ratification for months. Three wars removed every alternative: Iran removed Qatar, Ukraine removed Russia, Norway’s geology removed Norway. What remains is American LNG. Trump is not selling gas. He is selling the absence of alternatives. The 5-day power-plant pause expires Saturday March 28. The EU Parliament votes Thursday March 26. Europe must ratify American energy dependency two days before the war might escalate again. If the pause collapses Saturday and Iran executes Ghalibaf’s promise to “irreversibly destroy” regional energy infrastructure, European LNG prices spike after the deal is already signed. Trump gets the $750 billion commitment at crisis pricing, then potentially triggers the next crisis 48 hours later. The deal locks in before the leverage expires. This is Trump Doctrine in its purest form. He does not separate trade from security from energy from markets. He operates them as one instrument. The war degrades Iran. The degradation closes Hormuz. The closure spikes energy. The spike terrifies Europe. The terror forces the deal. The deal locks in $750 billion. The pause crashes oil. The crash rallies stocks. The rally preserves midterm support. Every move funds the next move. He used the words “Department of War” in the pause announcement. Not Defence. The pre-1947 name. The name that tells Europe: the man offering you gas can resume bombing power plants on Saturday. Yesterday Russia signed a deal to build Vietnam’s first nuclear plant. Today Trump threatens to cut Europe’s gas. Two great powers selling energy security to two desperate continents during the same war. Both profit from the crisis. Both lock in decades of dependency. Both timed the offer to the moment the customer cannot refuse. The strait closed the alternatives. The ultimatum created the fear. The pause created the relief. The deal monetises both. Thursday is payday. Full deep dive analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇪🇺 Russia's Kirill Dmitriev says Europe can finally enjoy "no oil" and "no gas."

They invented an "Iranian terrorist group" that they’re accusing of “antisemitic attacks” exactly as the war of aggression on Iran starts... They didn’t even bother to give it a Farsi name as they forgot that Iran doesn’t use Arabic…

The Mossad appears to be responsible for fomenting anti-regime protests in Iran, resulting in thousands of civilian deaths, in an attempt to give the illusion that the Iranian regime was close to being toppled in a gambit to force Trump to attack Iran. The report declares that Israel masqueraded as an entire psyop, resulting in thousands dead, to start a war with Iran. Follow: @AFpost

Maybe you clowns need to start blowing up Jewish cafes and synagogues like you did in Iraq in the 1950s.

Clear enough for you yet?

Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on war in Iran: “This is a war of naked aggression by two mentally unstable individuals… this is not a war where people debate what happened. It is very clearly understood that this is a war without any justification whatsoever.”

I'd sooner have cheap Russian gas....

@420za_z @Phonomobile1 @BRICSinfo 100%. Leave them to fight their own battles and hopefully they will stop attacking Europe.

@tkpearson @Phonomobile1 @BRICSinfo Then…. Get the fuck out of Ukraine vatnik

JUST IN: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine strikes Russia's largest oil port.

We aren’t being governed. We are being looted. Applicable to so many countries.

Let’s pause to remember this moment in Congress when Mike Johnson gave the Democrats the billions of dollars they wanted for Ukraine. The House Sergeant at Arms threatened to fine me for sharing this video. That same man still works for Mike Johnson.

@Phonomobile1 @BRICSinfo Causing harm to Europe.

@BRICSinfo When we thought Ukraine will be defeated in few months, but here they are causing even more harm to Russia.

@jonjoules_ @BRICSinfo Energy prices will skyrocket. Russia will be rolling in cash. We will be be totally fu*ked.

@BRICSinfo Russia's biggest Baltic oil cash printer just got turned into a very expensive bonfire 🔥 Guess the shadow fleet forgot to pay the premium for "no-fly zone" insurance. Primorsk offline equals Putin's budget crying in 4K.

@Aabbppt @FurkanGozukara Why would they surrender?

@FurkanGozukara Who says he is top official? So anyone sitting behind the tv screen are top official? This man is just saying what IRGC want them to say. They are lying. They have to surrender. Stop protecting terrorists in suits.

Top Iranian official drops a massive bombshell. He confirms diplomacy is completely dead because Trump intentionally used peace negotiations as a deception to launch surprise military strikes. Iran is now preparing for an existential war to the very end.

8 billion people on earth. Maybe 300 of them are causing all the problems. And they convinced the rest of us to fight each other instead of stop it.
