After all, once upon a time they managed to.

China and India can't create enough demand to consume the equivalent of EU demand either and it will take up to ten years to build pipelines to them anyway.
Putin has screwed himself six ways to Sunday and his people know it.

Does someone come by and make you a sandwich for posting this nonsense? You really love propaganda. We get it. You love pointing out your bona fides from your days of working for the Hollywood factories but must you continue it here?

Please provide any findings from any neutral investigation that implicates your Blueanon Lex Luther having blown up his countries major leverage in Europe.

Europe is now buying its fuel from Russia via India (and Turkey). They are paying a premium for the privilege to do so. This hurts European working classes and industrial manufacturing hardest. It’s ruling classes much less. 1 in 4 german companies are considering relocating.

India (and Turkey) becomes the beneficiary of the destruction of N2. India’s also used its windfall of Russian fuel exports to extract discounts from Arab producers. A nice bonus for Indian refiners and distributors.

Gasprom has just announced its largest ever investment in its ‘Power of Siberia’ project which will direct its fuel distribution away from Europe and towards Asia. Specifically China. I’m guessing a more stable market will exist there as opposed to the vassal states of Europe.

My read from industry news is ongoing sanctions are not hurting Russian revenue streams. Perhaps you could produce credible evidence that it has. Please be critical of your sourcing and avoid those issuing Ukrainian regime/US State department talking points. Yellow cake news or Russian Viagra troops, Russian paid Afghan bounties, ghost of Kiev, Bucha massacre, Russian army attacking Russian held nuclear power station, Ukraine is winning, mobile bioweapons labs, Iraq rape rooms, Gaddafi’s viagra fueled troops, Kuwaiti incubator babies thrown on hospital floors, Gulf of Tonkin, etc etc etc fairy tale reporting ain’t gunna cut it.

It’s a never ending stream of BS that some love indulging in.
