‘Heavy Dependence’ On Russian Gas Has Europe Scrambling for Alternatives Over Supply Fears: As European alarm over Ukraine continues, EU countries have been left scrambling for alternatives to natural gas supplied by Russia, with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson suggesting the continent’s “heavy dependence” could affect how nations respond to geopolitical issues. Germany in particular — which receives reportedly a third of its gas supply from Russia — has recently been praised by Russia as one of its “main partners in Western Europe” not long after the country blocked so-called “lethal aid” from being sent to Ukraine from other NATO member states. According to a report by The Guardian, Europe has begun looking as far afield as Australia to bolster its gas supply in case supply from Russia is cut off completely. However, according to British PM Boris Johnson, while the UK is “in a stronger position to resist the Russian gas blackmail” — with Russian supply only making up three percent of UK gas — he expressed concerns regarding the position of other allies. “I think the house needs to understand that one of the big issues that we all face in dealing with Ukraine, in dealing with Russia, is the heavy dependence of our European friends in particular on Russian gas,” Johnson told parliament. French finance minister Bruno Le Maire has meanwhile criticized Europe’s reliance on Russia for energy, arguing that nuclear energy would help build up a “strategic independence” regarding energy, according to the Irish Independent. “What’s happening at the Russian border, and at the Ukrainian border at the moment, is going to show us, in an increasingly obvious way, that the energy dependence of Europe is something which knows no price,” the minister said. “We cannot continue to be as dependent on Russian gas, simply because this limits the political independence of Europe.” Looks like it’s time to start buying Israeli gas. That ought to enrage the Kremlin. Amir Tsarfati US President Biden told the Ukrainian president that a Russian invasion is a "done deal" and added: "prepare to get hit!" They are trying to portray Biden as a bumbling idiot. (It's all theatre.) :wacko: My prediction is that Russia does a lightning raid to Kiev to topple the corrupt neo-Nazi government in Ukraine and the USA does next to nothing. Biden will be further humiliated and will add to his foreign policy disasters. On second thought, there might be a regime change without a war in the Ukraine or at the very least the Ukraine settles things amiably with Russia. Russia is now having serious talks with Germany and France and the Ukraine. They have conveniently left the USA out of it. The end goal, of course, of all this theatre is to make Joe Biden look like a complete idiot and humiliating him further. That could be accomplished by peace breaking out after the other countries sit down and work things out, totally ignoring the USA. So, I retract my previous prediction. :wacko: (I am a bear of small brain. It is difficult to sort things out. ?) Arthur, I agree with you that this Ukraine thing is bound to be humiliating for Biden however it turns out. But, I'm not sure it's all theater with him (although he does have that fake White House set). He really seems to have dementia. It's so weird how he whispers into the microphone sometimes, can't keep his train of thought, and then lashes out in rage. Clearly, other people are telling him what to do and say, and they try to keep him on a short leash so he doesn't make too many mistakes. I believe that either the real Biden is dead and they have an actor or Biden is still alive and they have a double for him. Whatever the case, they want the USA to crash and burn and then to blame it on the fact that Biden supposedly has dementia. 🙁 'Russia OWNS Germany': Here's why Trump says Russia-Ukraine conflict is 'a European problem': Should America be involved in the Russia/Ukraine conflict? Former President Donald Trump joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Friday to explain how decisions to phase out nuclear and coal power in Germany and other European countries has led to their own crippling energy dependence on Russia. Trump told Glenn the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine "never would have happened" in the first place if it weren’t for President Joe Biden's obvious lack of leadership and strength. "This is a total lack of respect for [Biden] and for our country. And it's a disaster," Trump stated. "I think two weeks ago [Putin] had no intention of [invading]. He was just negotiating ... which he likes to do. And now he's seeing ... a clear path, because of the stupid people he's dealing with," he added. Trump went on to say he thinks the Russia/Ukraine conflict is really "a European problem," caused in large part by Germany’s dependence on Russian gas. "Seventy percent or more of [Germany's] energy is going to come out of Russia. That means that Russia controls them. Russia owns Germany," Trump explained. "In one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen ... [Germany] closed their nuclear plants and other plants to get rid of coal. Which was, you know, seen as a great thing ... So, Russia has total control of Germany, and Germany is saying, 'Well, we can't fight them.' So, I would really say, it's a European problem." Yes, indeed! Stupidity reaching fruition. Russia is now allowing Iran to land military equipment in Syria. This action prevents Israel from bombing these assests of Iran. If Israel attacks it will ignite Ezekiel 38-39 in a hurry. I am really hoping the Rapture is imminent. Source is Hal Turner. I am waiting to see what Amir Tsarfati says about this latest development.
