Russia shuts off gas pipeline to Europe until sanctions are lifted

Hang in there EU.

Yahoo get those stupid captions off the screen. The people who need captions can turn that on with the CC button. Stop forcing this on people. It is distracting as hell!

🤣

Maybe Russia does not like you doing business with Ukraine and HUNTER BIDEN. Hey Biden. Russia does not agree. With gays transgender ect. Why can you just respect how Russia is self identified. And there are many houses in God's Kingdom. Not yours America! You have no right America. Trillions in debt. No money. No honey.. it's reality..

Putin claims that the sanctions do not affect his country, but uses every opportunity to demand their lifting.

Don't you worry about that. It s mu understanding that EU leaders, especially the G7, had worked out a nifty counter measure…capping energy prices. Why didn't we think of that. That is why they are the leaders,and we are not, innit?

But wait…I have the latest here. The G7 and the geniuses I heaped praises on had changed they mind. They are NOT, I repeat, NOT going to go ahead with capping the prices. I just don't know who and what to believe anymore. It is just so hard.

Parody aside, it just goes to show that the G7 and the EU still believe that the entire world revolve around Europe the the West, just like the Christian Churches in the dark old days when they insisted that the sun, and all the celestial objects, revolved around the earth. Outside and beyond the west/Anglo zones, there are other people who also buy and use hydrocarbon for their industries and domestic appliances. So capping prices has major logic faults.

(1). Suppliers won't sell to you if you cut the prices unilaterally,
(2). Suppliers DO have other buyers other than the west,
(3). The west is not in a position to bargain, let alone set prices,
(4). OPEC + Russia do have enough SOLIDARITY, yes, the kind of stuff Ursula Von Der Leyen Spruiked often,
(5). The west, especially Europe, is not in a position to set prices because of seasonal handicap…winter is nearly here. It is not a good time to refuse to pay for the very substance that you will need to sustain you. When you are dying of thirst, you will pay for water in gold dust, as happened in the gold rush days.

By the end of the winter, whether some of the geniuses are still in power would be fascinating.

Trying to make sense of cryptocurrencies can be a bit overwhelming for investors. < It's a nascent but promising asset class built on technology that has the potential to disrupt a wide range of industries. For investors, what's probably most attractive is the possibility of life-changing returns. Don't worry, you're not late to the crypto party. We're likely still in the very early innings, leaving you with lots of time to put money to work and learn about this burgeoning market. If you're new to crypto then my advise is that you trade with the guidance of an expert. I have learned from alot of especially from my mentor Jostein Morcant, who taught me how to make trade and increase my portfolio to 19 btc lately.

If only someone had tried to warn them… 🤔
