Topic: Why putin choose winter? - page 4. (Read 589 times)

They are thinking not just twice in fact Bulgaria as well did not want Russia-US war because they know there is no imminent Ukraine invasion. The last time there was so much miscommunication was in WW1 and just a shot fired and they are in a war. This is what the Biden administration is confusing and they themselves are confused on what to do. Why would the EU want war when they are going to be affected too?

Blinken rushes to meet Lavrov to respond to Russia's proposal for peace but Bliken is not willing to publicize thier reply?  

The US told their ambassadors to get out of Ukraine to prepare for something to happen but the Ukraine president actually said everything in under control. The truth is that they were shhush away by every country there. Even Ukraine is not wanting war, it's just the media telling us there will be.

What twisted logic you have there!
So the US doesn't want the EU to be independent with gas, they need to destroy the pipeline that actually is making the EU dependent on Russia.
Honestly, do you even bother to think about what you write here?
If you depend on a manufacturer for all your spare parts and that manufacturer is not able to sell you parts and you shut down, have you actually lost your independence, or do you realize you have been totally dependent on it?


Who, Romania and Poland? Those countries hate Russia more than any country in Europe. Do you think they have forgotten what the USSR did, actually do they teach you in your history manuals how many Romanians and Polish people Russians have killed?
Besides, what bloodbath? Ukraine is inviting the US to defend its territory, just like Syria invited Russian troops, just how Kazakhstan did, why can't Ukraine decide for itself!? All Russia has to do to avoid a war is keep its army where it belongs, but yeah, quite hard for them to do so.


For starters is 40% of the imports, not of the consumption.
Second, if you have less than 30% gas you don't shut down everything, you shut down 30% of the consumers and the rest keep going.
On top of that, it's not like every country is going to be affected, Denmark Portugal, and Spain are not consuming Russian gas at all, France, Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands are between  5 and 20% dependent.

If indeed the supply is shut, there is a temporary solution, shut down all ga powerplants and revive coal and oil powerplants and maximum capacity, that will give a breather for a while, right now with the current reserves enough to make it through March, when in half of Europe there is no need for heating anymore.

Of course, the consequences will dire, but what is Russia going to do with a 15% cut in its GDP?

EU didn't support war actaully in fact Germany and France disapprove of sending military equipment to Ukraine. It's not about Putin choosing Winter, it's the US traveling far away to the east chosing winter. It's a bloodbath for the US to go to Ukraine for war because the surrounding countries of Ukraine will eat them alive. They have enough of the US meddling with Arab countries.

Why in the world will Putin invade Ukraine when they are already there from the beginning, the people in Ukraine more than 60% is a Russian speaker. The countries surrounding it are Russian speakers. They wouldn't wait for the US to reach there if they have to invade Ukraine, they would have done it a long time ago.

The US is just confused about what to do with thier economy and they don't want the EU to be independent with gas. They need to destroy the gas pipeline of Russia to Germany so the EU will still need the US for gas and attacking Russia will be a good solution.

Seems to be true mate.EU had a demand on gas with the Russia, So they won't do some sanctions on Russia. Instead they do the peace talk. Only peace talk work with the Russia.As we Russia is a most powerful country as like the United Status. People won't forget about the Cold war between the United States and Russia.Russian are doing this for the Control over the Ukraine. But they had forgotten it, Ukraine is past brother of them.

We all know that there is tension on the Russia-Ukraine border. I am not going to talk about why this is happening, I think most of us already know that.

Maybe this is the right time for Putin to play with Ukraine. Because the price of fuel in the world market is skyrocketing. Gas prices in Europe have risen by 600%. It is now wintering in Europe. Heaters/burners are needed to survive in ice-covered Europe. That is why the demand for gas is the highest.

And 40% of Europe's gas demand comes from Russia. And now if Russia cuts off gas supplies, the economies of European countries will come to a standstill. One power plant after another, the factory will be closed. So the big countries of Europe will think twice before taking a tough stand against Russia.

Putin is a master planner or going to face heavy sanctions from the EU?
