With the Middle East on fire and the Strait of Hormuz effectively turned into a parking lot, putin is stepping out of his bunker to tell Europe, 'You can't fire me, I quit!'
“The task is to assess the possibility and expediency of terminating the supply of our energy resources to the European market. Not to wait until the door is demonstratively slammed in our face, but to do it right now. And to shift these volumes from the European market to more interesting directions. And most importantly, to gain a foothold there. Right now, the market situation is such that if we reorient ourselves immediately toward those markets that need increased supplies, we can establish ourselves there now.
That is, where there is steady long-term demand and reliable long-term relationships, to those states that are building constructive business relations with Russia.”
