Germany’s economy minister has accused Russian energy giant Gazprom of mounting an ‘attack’ on his nation after it slashed its supply of gas to Europe.
‘The reduction of gas deliveries via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is an attack on us, an economic attack on us,’ Robert Habeck said in a speech to a German industry conference earlier today.
Gazprom said last week it would reduce supplies of the fuel to Germany via the pipeline due to delayed repairs, but the German government has called the decision ‘political’ amid the widespread European support for Ukraine following Putin‘s invasion.
As a result of the cut, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands decided to reactivate mothballed coal power plants to reduce their gas consumption.
Germany has also mandated the filling of gas reserves to 90 per cent ahead of the European winter, to hedge against a further reduction in supply.
‘When we go into the winter with half full gas stores and the taps are turned off then we are talking about a difficult economic crisis in Germany,’ Habeck said.
Currently, Germany’s gas storage capacity is just under 60 percent full.
‘We have seen this pattern multiple times now,’ Habeck said at the conference.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sought to ‘create chaos’ in European gas markets by cutting off supply to Poland and Bulgaria among other European countries, the minister said.
Habeck called for the ‘diversification’ of suppliers of raw materials and energy to achieve ‘a bit of independence from the malign intentions of the world’s dictators’.
Germany had a ‘system rivalry’ with Russia and China, the minister said.
China was a ‘big market’, Habeck said, but urged industry to use trade to promote ‘our values’.
Accusations of a fuel attack on Europe come as Russia vowed to retaliate against Lithuania with measures that ‘will have a serious negative impact on the Lithuanian population’ after the country blocked EU-sanctioned goods from reaching the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
‘‘a bit of independence from the malign intentions of the world’s dictators’.’
Haha! They wouldn’t know irony if it bit them on their backsides.
In the past I’ve been a big fan of the EU, while it still appeared to have self determination.
The EU has voted for the gas chamber. It was Germany who attacked first. Do we see a pattern here?
As to Lithuania, I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia went in and secured the rail line to Kaliningrad. Remember, treaties were put in place to guarantee rail access.
Let Europe freeze this Winter. Let’s just watch the lines of workers queueing at the soup kitchens. The UK gets fairly cold, but it’s nothing like what they get in most of Europe.
While I’m here. The UK regime doesn’t give a toss about the cost of living crisis. Given that the UK is a one party state, the default position, is that if you can’t survive, then you aren’t a viable unit. The only reason why the UK has some semblance of a benefits system, is for apprences sake, and to prevent social disorder.
If 30,000 die directly from cold this Winter, all we’ll hear is: ‘Putin killed your granny.’
As I chat with various sheeple, they do understand a few things. The UK is staggeringly corrupt. The NHS is still closed, and that the UK is bankrupt. The £ is falling, and it won’t be long before the UK is poorer than Portugal. How can I be so confident? Because the UK has no real friends, and those who occasionally stand near us, do so for their own gain. The WW2 legacy generation has all but died off, so there very few Amerikans who hold some sort of affinity with the UK. Trump tried, and was basically told to feck off, and even Biden had no time for us. We really are an island, and that’s ironic in what was a globalised world.
So let me get this clown BS straight: Germany ships money and weapons to Ukraine, places sanctions on Russia, demonizes Russia etc etc, and when Russia decides to stop or reduce the delivery of gas, it’s an attack?
I think someone opened up Habecks skull and took a huge shit in it, or he’s been having public relations lessons in Tel Aviv……which amounts to the same thing.
So they sanction everything Russian. Then blame Russia when there’s no Russian gas?
Put foot in mouth. Shoot self in foot.
don’t like their own medicine delivered by Putin. Sriya, Afgan, Iraqi mothers’ cry has reached heaven swift response coming to pass. boat load of survivals from thermonuclear ashes heading to Africa and Latin America. after all, we are humans flee from dangers. karma is known but forgotten until it visits.
I’ll say one thing:
You can ALWAYS rely on the EUSSR for a good belly-laugh as it CONTINUES to raise the “hypocrisy bar” to previously undreamt of heights!
Mark my words: It wont be long before ZOGUK – as it grinds its populace into oblivion – chirps in and starts slandering Putin for snatching the bottle outta babies’ mouths!
😂
The totally brain washed Germans stopped North Stream 2. That was the origin of the mess they created and that will last long. “Bad moon arising” for them. (Creedence Clearwater Music Band must listen to)
If I was Putin the gas and oil to all of Europe would have been turned off as soon as The European countries all declared sanctions on Russia. What were the stated aims of those sanction again, to crush and destroy the Russian economy and bring Russia to its knees? And Europe expects Russia to prop up the European economies and keep us warm in the winter. HA, wouldn’t Putin be a mug.
Self defense is legal even in Heaven.
The General told me so..
This is all part of their smoke and mirrors efforts making threats, moving troops and obsolete armaments around to escalate matters for more fear and controls all designed to usher in their WEF-NWO-UN one-world government. If there was any merit to their grand designs, the thugs and crooks running the world would be able to justify their plans openly to us and with us THE PEOPLE without any lies and deceptions, which they know they cannot no and so they keep using all of their media brainwashing and political fearmongering toys to coerce and herd us into their pre-planned control pens.
The US including NATO nations impose alleged “harsh” sanctions they say are designed to cripple the Russian economy. French wine and German schnapps become hard to get in Russia but the Russian vodka industry booms. Nord Stream 2 is put on hold until the reality theatre performances in the Ukraine have served their purpose in the WWIII escalation hoax, and then Putin’s governing following the same script being used all around the world, even in Canada, also dutifully turns the fuel tap down a smidgen, enough to jack up prices, but very very careful not to do any lasting damage to the economy.
Putin and the Russian corporatocracy are still WEF stooges and bed buddies with our political leaders and the Western corporatocracy. They are all under the same insane and corrupt order and their only real enemy is reality and people with common sense.
All they have to do is pay in rubles! Since Russia’s money in US Banks has been taken and Russia is not allowed access to the international financial system – Russia said, OK. We can still take payment in rubles. so if you want our gas and oil etc. you can still pay in rubles. No problem. You = Germany and the rest of Europe – can have all the gas and oil and fertiliser you want or need – just pay in rubles.
They just do not want to pay in rubles! While still confiscating all the billions of dollars owned by Russia in their banks!
Amazing! But then, look at the way these women, such as Ursula van Leyden, behave. Truth is, all of them – including the Clinton one, and Liz Truss, cannot behave sensibly with a man such as Putin!
He just does not flirt with them and it makes them mad. They just cannot influence him by being flirtatious.
Fe-manism is the greatest danger in the World today! God help us all.
Fe-manism is a great danger to the World.
Carl Jones–it was always called “Social Security” because if the dole stops, civilisation only has three weeks left, according to an internal calculation
The actor Richard Burton was talking about the coal seam his dad worked in and loved like a woman (says RB). iT WENT INTO THE bAY OF bISCAY, Northern (caps error) Spain, across the Atlantic, and into Pennsylvania. You cannot run out of coal; GB had 300 yearsworth on our own. We did not run out of it, Yid-man killed the industry, long before the weasly CO2 talk

Russia is playing the long game, gradually turning the screw and watching the NATO puppet states tear each other apart. If the Germans start to feel the pinch, they will prioritise themselves first, cutting supplies to France and other countries. The cracks are already starting to show.
The danger is that seeing this, the US will look to push its European clients into action before EU/NATO implodes. This is what seems to be happening in Lithuania.
Ha ha ha …the pupil trying hard to overtake his Jewish Master at the art of lies and deception; they start the xxxx, only to turn round and complain about it, that’s the typical Talmudic craft of the accusatory inversion; when caught at one’s own game and cornered, the Talmudists (or their Goyim servants in this particular case) then indulge in accusing their opponents of their own screw ups, with the hope of discrediting them, and thus winning the argument, but unfortunately for them the stupid Goyim are waking up big time.
Carl Jones 30,000 deaths will be a “normal” rate for UK. I checked the figures years ago and it was 35,000 deaths from hypothermia. I’ll be surprised if we dont get black outs this winter. With energy rises between 45% and 70% huge numbers will be dying.
Irrespective of the Russian situation the descent into the windmill madness was going to bite us in the arse sooner rather than later
Good job, take them out Russia. xxxx the EU wankers, can’t wait for the SHTF and I can go around killing Jews and immigrants down here in New Zealand lols…
Old news. On to the next article. As stupid as the Dog wagging the tail article.
I freeze every winter but I Thor Out in Spring
