You thought Russia would wait patiently while Europe secured alternative supplies? Germany FM says, โThe situation is escalating to the point that the use of energy as a weapon is becoming a reality.โ Oh, so it is not okay for Russia to use sanctions?
Germany grabbed the German subsidiary of Gazprom. Russia has placed these subsidiaries under sanctions. This means that a Russian-sanctioned entity cannot draw Russian gas at the German end of the pipeline. Russia has placed the operator of another backup pipeline in Poland, which further restricts flows to Europe. Germany can now un-nationalize the seized assets and return them to Gazprom. It can also revive the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The war could have been stopped in the first week if the US, UK and EU escalated the situation with their knee-jerk response. Instead of assuring that Ukraine will stay neutral, they have set the course for a long drawn-out war that is supposed to reduce Russian power militarily and financially.
Instead, inflation is rising in the West. There are shortages in everything from milk powder to diesel. Russia, meanwhile, is doing well. Oil revenues has expanded on the back of increased prices. Russian government has increased salaries of government employees and pensioners. It has also eased access to foreign currencies to Russian citizens.
In Ukraine, Western advisors control the government in Kiev. Elensky is just a puppet. Like New Zealanders, he cannot go to the bathroom without government's permmission.
It looks like eastern and southern parts of Ukraine are going to accede with Russia. Western experts are hoping that assymetric war and guerilla war will pin down the Russian military. They forget or ignore the fact that after the 2014 Maidan coup, the Russian speaking southern and eastern provinces rebelled against the new Ukrainian-speaking insurrectionists. These movements were brutally suppressed by the Kiev government and Western and Ukrainian media voluntarily pulled a Nelson's patch over the events. After Russian forces withdraw, these provinces will be run by ethnic Russians who were formerly Ukrainian citizens.
When the dust settles, it will be clear that all that Western powers have achieved is the total balkanization of Ukraine. Thanks for nothing, do-gooders!

Finland has time till 20 May to pay in roubles. After that, it is cutoff time. Perhaps women should stay in the kitchen. You'd think women would be more risk-averse. Unlucky Finns!The pipeline that carries Russian oil to Germany is called Friendship, or Druzhba in Russian. But Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine has destroyed any lingering feelings of affection.
Druzhba opened in the 1960s, transporting oil more than 5,000km (3,100 miles) from what was then the Soviet Union to Schwedt in former communist East Germany.
Russian oil was more than just a symbol of friendship. The oil refinery in Schwedt became the region's economic heart.
More than 1,000 people work at the refinery, and another 2,000 at companies nearby that depend on it. The refinery heats most of the homes in Schwedt and provides fuel for more than 90% of vehicles in north-eastern Germany, including Berlin.
Banks, Paypal and other financial intermediaries should also face class-action lawsuits for conniving with their cronies in the government.
The US State Department got upset with articles like โThe NATO to TikTok Pipeline: Why is TikTok Employing So Many National Security Agents?โ

information that his father was born out of wedlock and that his paternal grandfather might have been Jewish โ Frankenberger, a scion of the seigneurial house of Ottenstein and Baron Rothschild of Vienna were cited as potential candidates. Hitlerโs mother is thought to have conceived when she worked as a maid in the household of Baron Rothschild. In his time, German Jews used to call Hitler as the โAustrian Jew.โ)I have read in the Jewish Encyclopedia where they speculated that it could be true. I am unable to find the original article. It could be this but it need not be.
