That is, indeed, a terrifying thought – Genghis Tom at an anti-war rally, rubbing shoulders with unwashed hippies…

In reply to Nikolai Vladivostok.

That is a very good point. Nord Stream 2 would shut Ukraine out of the loop of control for Russia’s gas exports to Europe – and it would also probably shut down the ability of American LNG to compete with Russian gas in terms of both price and volume.

The problem with the Euzis is that they are too stupid, or too tied into Green ideology (which amounts to the same thing) to understand that they are only dependent on Russian energy because of their own idiocy. If they would simply exploit their own natural resources properly, and stop shutting down their nuclear and coal-fired power plants, they wouldn’t NEED Russian natural gas to anything like the same degree.

Anatoly Karlin suggests that the point may be to force Russia to openly intervene in Ukraine in order to repel the attack. The US could then use this to pressure Germany to shut down the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and lessen Europe’s dependence on Russian energy.
In other words, the plan is not for Ukraine to win the war. Wonder how their leaders are being incentivized into this.
