  2. I read in one major newspaper (I forgot which one) that Germany have fixed its fossile fuel dependency problem for the next year, and the years to come. So Putins energy blackmail will therefore not likely succeed in the long run as the west can just get their energy from other sources. This game of shutting of all the energy more looklike a game of desperation by Putin, he is playing out his energy card while it is still worth anything. It will cause harm and pain and scare some people in the west. But after this winter will this game stop having an effect, and things will improve in the EU while Russia suffers more and more pain and see its energy revenues go down and get problems with financing the war. The Russian people are used to a shitty life and hardships and will tolerate more pain than west Europeans, but I still think Putin greatly overestimate Russias own abilities and underestimate Europe. To me all this looklike the crappiest and most idiotic economic warfare strategy a country have used since the Confederate States during the American Civil war. The Confederates did then stop all export of cotton and destroying in the hope that lack of cotton and high export prices would make England eager to support the South's struggle for independence. But the opposite did happen. The South did not get any desperatly needed foreign money to help its struggling economy, and England just started to grow cotton in India, and also Egypt started to grow it, as clothes producers were forced to look for other sources for cotton. And so the South was no longer as important for the world economy as in the past. It never raised any war taxes and thereby lacked the funding for its military and the war had to be singlehandedly paid for by other means which raised inflation and interest rates, and thereby made the war financing very ineffective. Russia now do the same thing. It refuses to export energy and food and thereby lose export revenues. And as it isolates itself it is becoming more and more irrelevant for the world economy, until no one any longer cares if they lose all economic ties with them. Capital controls work. But they only work if you got a strong economy with demand for your currency. Once the energy dependency on Russia goes away.. then it can no longer prop up its failed currency and the house of cards falls apart. And the law of supply and demand will press down the value of the ruble as there are no foreign demand for that junk currency once people starts to buy their energy from other countries.. So no, I think Putin is only going to lose the long game. As losses piles up and Russias lack of success becomes more and more appearant will the war lose some of its popularity. The Russian military lose its best men and equipment, and all that is left are junk. Putin will finally have welded togheter the world against him, as even France, Germany and Italy now their energy from other countries and have no reason to hold back on their support for Ukraine. And traitors like Salvini and Le Pen can no longer camouflage their support for Putin behind fake concerns about the sanctions that they say harms the wallets for ordinary people.

  5. "we don't wanna meet the slightest Russian demands in order to obtain peace" Did giving Crimea to Russia in 2014 give us peace? No it didn't. Can the Putin clowns stop being so historically ignorant? You are tiresome. We should not give anything to a criminal terrorist state. Crimes and terrorism should be punished, and not rewarded. If you reward this behaviour, then you will only get more of it. Russia have invaded neighbour after neighbour the last 20 years. Its time for this to stop. And I prefer Zelensky and Boris Johnson over Putin any day. Putin commits genocide in Bucha, Irpin and other places. He deliberatly bombs kindergardens schools, maternity hospitals, and civilian homes. He let his troops get away with rape, torture, murder, and looting. His troops kidnap civilians and use them as human shields. He steals 500 aircrafts from other countries and threatens to steal buildings and machines from foreign companies. He threatens innocent people with nuclear weapons. He tries to starve 800 million people to death in his game of blackmailing the world to lift the sanctions on Russia. And he starts unprovoced, unjustified, illegal wars. He kidnaps Ukrainian women and children and transport them to concentration camps in Siberia. He commits genocide. He spread lies. He pay for internet trolls that spread lies and tries to poison the public in foreign countries. He have utter contempt for democracy and throws people in jail for barely calling the conflict in Ukraine for a war - something that a hypocrite like himself does not have to go to jail for. And Putin ignores promise after promise and treaty after treaty that Russia have signed in the past... everything from the Budapest agreement to the promise to not use nuclear weapons as a way to disturb world peace, or when he fired missiles on Ukrainian cargo ships the day after the naval blockade in the black sea was lifted. I think that you should just leave the western world. You simply does not belong here. Go to Ukraine and fight in the mud for your genocidal Russian Hitler. I happily pay for the ammunition that the Ukrainians will send in your way.
