Finland and Germany have granted NordStream 2 all permits required for the new gas pipeline from Russia.
This is the end of Ukraine as transit hub and will lead to pain and suffering for their people. A major long-term victory both for Russia and the EU. For yanks not so much!
Realpolitik in action.
>EU takes control of Ukraine
>EU makes Ukraine ban the use of Russian gas
>EU themselves use Russian gas
>EU sells Russian gas to Ukraine at a higher price
> will lead to pain and suffering
absolute state of pro russian shills

does not compute
>does not compute
Oh, but it does.
Gas is purified that way. From tainted Putinist gas it is transformed into European democratic gas fit for young Ukrainian democracy consumption.
Russians should be gassed desu
>does not compute
Finns are Russians, and yes.
It doesn't. EU relying even more on Russian gas will backfire in future. We should go for renewable or Norwegian gas to increase competition
>For yanks not so much!
We don't care fuckstick.
Enjoy your democracy when nobody cares about future beyond the next election cycle.
What prevents EU from doing both?
Russia is EU cryptocolony. Poland tries to flirt with USA and gets kicks from EU.
you say that becxause you aspire to become the main lng transit hub, but nahhh germany will stay in the lead
sw*Doids fear the Finnic BULL
i'm sorry ukraine
Which democracy do you mean? Polish or EU? Because our government is against NS2.
Russia already has a monopoly so if we were to normalise the situation we should be giving all the market to Norwegians until it's more or less 50-50.
Pretty poor description but I guess describing global politics with "flirting", "fucking", and other actions that the hoi polloi can relate to is popular now. Especially in Russia where the public is neither well educated nor interested in anything but national pride.
Not really, energetical independence is more important issue here. Russia has a long history of using gas and oil to exert influence on their customers.
Norway has like 20 times less gas reserves. Sure, its exports now are comparable to Russian, but that can't last forever.

You can describe it in most puritanical terms, the essence will stay the same.
Considering how much EU is spending on renewable sources now, I think it's quite possible that Norwegian reserves will be enough until we get 100% renewable.
No, those are major generalisations and simplifications and the situation is much more complicated.
