Bulgaria and poland. russia is more or less coming off its nose to regardless of whether or not russia had made such a move. a european embargo on russian oil and gas was already in the works that ban could be part of an upcoming sanctions package from the eu. to underscore that point today, the president of the eu said quote the era of russian fossil fuel in europe is coming to an end. europe is known for a long time that they need to get off of russian oil. europe knows they should have realized that becoming dependent on russia for energy supplies was a bad idea. russia during the cold war, keeping up its supplies, despite all the vagary s of the cold war, that sort of gave europe a good reason to play see no evil hear no evil pretend it would all be fine. but those illusions are now over. would russia did today, cutting off gas supplies to countries, to nato countries to try to force european countries to change your behavior, there s just no way to hide from it anymore. he s now
To nato countries to try to force european countries to change your behavior, there s just no way to hide from it anymore. he s now proven the point indelibly. russia is a mafia state don t do business with them, don t be dependent on them in any way, they will take any relationship they have with you and they will use it as power over you. i mean, cutting through the chase here part of putin turning russia into a full blown authoritarian fascist state is that there are now a corporate estate. which means that business interests and political interest in russia are merged. all economic power in russia s harness to serve the state. so putin will use whatever countries might think of as a business relationship to go to war with you instead. and nobody can avoid seeing it now. so yeah, poland s been prepping to get out from under russian energy dependence. that will rush to completion now. the same thing will happen in bulgaria. same thing is even going to have it in places like germany.
