It's unbelievable Europe has the audacity to continue harming Russia through sanctions and at the same time ask Russia not to discontinue supplying gas
This is a phony statement, because Russia get's a large percentage of it's annual budget from gas sales. Don't act like Russia was doing any favors here. If they permanently cut off the gas, then Russia will cut the nose off it's own face, at a time when they don't have many other options to sale there goods. Keep in mind that US and EU control the insurance markets for international shipping, let alone the NATO navies control all the chokepoints.

At the same time, Germany was buy gas from Russia daily... I mean can you make sense of this? You can only think that way when you don't see the other as an equal . She had the audacity to travel there and tell the malian people what do to as if they don't what's good for their own interests. They really think they are the center of the universe lmao...

It's not a shame to lift sanctions Sanctioning oil and gas was ridiculous in the first place. What was Germany thinking? You cannot simply sanction something that you keeps your economy going, and then turn back and put blames on Russia. This is very simple. Common sense.
It’s the moral issue. The general public in Germany actually supports the gas part cus they can’t support Russia. I think it’s a Europe thing too… russia crossed their moral line. Sure the economy will be a decrease and the people will pay much more but yeah it’s similar to the immigration crisis. The public supports it although it may have not been that beneficial and rushed.

The turbine being shipped from canada should have been shipped months ago. This delay would be an excuse for extending the maintainence period beyond 10 days. Russia said the reduction of gas to 60% was due to the turbine not being returned. Germany initially said tht was an excuse. If it was why did Germany ask for an exemption to the sanctions. An exemption the US approved. Is the turbine needed or not? Germany seems unable to make up its mind.
The really crazy part is that there is a fully functional second pipeline 'Nordstream2' which could be used but still has no approval from the German government. So this is all home made.

What about not turning off nuclear power plants while you are in the midst of an energy crisis? Or using coal power plants in stead while promoting cutting down on CO2 emissions. What about wanting to sustain oneself with renewable energies only in a country, where there are no fast rivers, no heavy tides, not much sun und only here and there a little bit of wind? Or what about implementing a rule that makes it obligatory for nurses in hospitals to be vaccinated against Covid, while you already have a huge lack of nurses and the trust in the medical system will lead to many nurses rather quit their job than to get the vaccine. Or and what about having a health care minister crying all the time how bad covid (and long covid) is while at the same time, having him not promote the wide spread usage of antiviral medication and not do anything to improve mendical research in Long Covid? Those are just a few aspects of the current German idiocracy, or as Heine once put it: "If I think of Germany at night, I won't be able to sleep" And I am afraid that Germany has already become too benighted to wake up before falling to its demise again.
Canada is holding a Russian cargo plane since Feb 2022. I doubt Russia would accept delivery of the turbines without the cargo plane. Even if Canada agrees to release the cargo plane, it will take many embarrassing maneuvers to get the cargo plane back to Russia: many countries must waive the sanction in order for the plane to transit. This will be one big joke on the integrity of the sanction.
Most of the Aeroflot fleet (which uses' mostly French Airbus) has been seized by the Russian government. I doubt any foreign company is going to want to invest in Russia when they can just grab your assets.

What Russia wants is to keep Europe on life support, prevent them from filling the gas storages for the winter; to be constantly fearful of a gas shortage, so Russia will be in a better position to extort what they want. Simply cutting off the gas supply and losing that income wouldn't serve Russia's goals.
Well, all the Germans have to do is start nord stream 2. But their masters in the US want the European economy crashed. The EU is a bunch of spineless puppets.
This is like world cup , Germany against South Korea. At the end Germany lost 2. 0. I have to say that Germany has been doing terrible in foreign affairs since last century.
A country lost 2 world wars, how smart do you think they really are? And they are buying expensive US gas instead of cheap Russian gas, dumb beyond imagination.
No turbine is the same and each needs a particular maintenance. They're blaming Russia,but weren't some turbines being repaired in Canada and USA said to Canada not to return? C'mon ...the USA definitely wants to deindustrialize Germany.
Europe needs Russia not vice versa. Russia is a natural supplier of commodities and energy for Europe. USA can offer expensive alternatives for gas and commodities import but it will make EU industry non competive in comparison to China, India etc. Germany's export is falling and recession in EU zone is unavoidable.
@@deesus1085 Do you realize what nonsense you just uttered? 60% of Russian(1.5 trillion) GDP(So 900 billion dollars) is gained from selling oil to Europeans? You're living in an alternate reality. Main income for Russia not even oil, it's natural gas exports. Russia is simply redirecting sales to other countries like India and China and others. That's the advantage of being a goods providers while the goods receiver(EU) can only suffer.
@@deesus1085 Russia offers cheaper gas rate compared to others. So you see as capitalism is at the heart of industrialisation, the capitalist would always go for cheap factors of production so as to maximize profit. If Europe decides not to go for Russian gas ,other industrial countries would go for Russian gas, in the long run industries would need to move from Europe to other countries with cheap gas supplies. The moral here is , who ever owns the natural resources would 80% always be a victor , and with this most other African countries would follow suit. They own the resources. The recursive outcome of what's going on , is more serious that some people see it. It can tip the dominance of European industries.
As a Canadian, the biggest part of this story for me is that Germany is sending complex heavy machinery to Canada to be refurbished! I always think that ours is inferior to German machinery. Why was this job outsourced to us in the first place? Are our pipeline engineering firms that much better than German or Russian ones? Cheaper? We do have many large pipelines here so maybe we do have good pipeline servicing companies. It is news to me though. Terribly sorry about all the innocent Russians and Ukranians that are caught in the middle of this conflict that they did not want. I am glad that many Germans are actively finding ways to produce domestic power from both renewable and non renewable sources. Getting energy from abroad seems like nasty business, there is always a big bad strong man getting rich there it seems.
The Germans aren't servicing the turbines, because the Canadians do it better. And the Ukrainian Antonov cargo planes are all but destroyed, so large machinery must now be transported by ship....
Its a seimens repair not Canada. Its rare rapair, they only do it at Canada plant, it wouldnt make sence to do it everywhere, because its a rare, and very costum work
Looks like NATO and US plan of keeping Germany down is working. Mainstream media funded by the US will try to shame Germany for doing what is best for its own people.

Finally, it happened. Now, it's a question whether or not the EU particulary the Germany is serious in their sanctions against Russia. Lifting the sanctions is a very good signal for Russia. Poor Ukraine.
Actually, Germany is poor that it can't buy gas from any other suppliers on the planet. Therefore, sanctions should be on rich countries like India who's millions of ultra rich population has to be given discounted oil from Russia.

Nortstream2 was the backup pipeline to supply the gas. Germany decided to not use the No.2 pipeline. Hence there is zero supply whilst Nortstream 1 is being repaired. Hence an own goal by Germany and EU

I have often wondered why Russia did not try to say that the Nord Stream 1 pipeline will be out of action for many months but if you want gas you must take it through the new Nord Stream 2
It's simple - your governments, with their rhetoric and actions, have finally shown, despite all our proposals for EQUAL dialogues, that Europe is incapable of negotiating, and in some places even hostile to us - what else can you call Europe's support for Nazism on ukraine? And given all the signs of management / occupation of Europe from the United States, it’s not independent. Therefore, our government simply does not see the point in talking about such topics and making such proposals - your governments, as before, will brush aside any of our proposals with their inherent arrogance. They don't want to talk to us as equals - they just want total submission and that we give away our resources for free. And if we also disappear at the same time, it will be the greatest holiday for them. But we are not going to give them a reason for such a celebration.
The basic answer is because solar and wind plants can’t do what is needed. They simply arent capable of keeping up with all the energy needs in high demand periods like winter
I dont know why you havent heard anything about it, but i just heard recently that Habeck is working right now on a new law that speeds up the building of exactly those 2 energy supplies.
Because they sadly can't replace gas. The gas that's needed for energy isn't much, it can be replaced easily. But you can't quickly replace the heating. Also natural gas is needed for lots of chemical processes and industrial products
I don't really understand 🤔 you all needed Russia so much h and you were pushing for sanctions? I am very lost and asking why Russia is obligated or should deliver gas to you?
The EU is under the control of USA the top dog. EU must say and do what the top dog wants. That’s the problem for the EU. They should have all gone out of NATO a long time ago and set up their own military system. Then they could have made their own decisions.
@@theculturedjinni Why would they make their citizens suffer for Ukraine? I would say that makes their government illegitimate. If Im a citizen of Germany and the leader of my country puts ukranian interests before German citizens that makes them a rogue government.

Repairs take 10days, Maintenace take 10days, to check the whole gas pipelines prior startup 30days Safety is First, Russia require tons of Siberian Firewoods to liquidify the frozen gas for actual start up of the plant 15days. Cleaning the firewood ashes 7days. This is if all goes well....if there's a hick up and repairs and maintenace stretch into winter...Russian workers will not want to work. Russians now has money many many. All want to go to Turkiye, to Asia for a sunny holiday. Germany shud plan and go try buy its gas from Norway and US. Plan for the worst and pray for the best. Its good also to start believing in God.
Norway is already at full capacity this is the main problem there, and US seems to have huge problems upping their production, a natural gaz factory just recently exploded because they tried to match the demand, not even mentioning the price difference between russian and US gaz, i fear that poverty is around the corner for millions of europeans soon.
If the US is weaponizing the dollar, Europe the swiss then why do you complain when Russia weaponizes oil and gas? Now I understand why Putun said he hasn't even started.
Why germany ask u.s the solution when u.s preasured germany to stop russian oil if u.s has no solution let germany do what is best for its people and behave as independent country
I think Russia will sell gas to Germany as long as possible. This is good money for Russia. Let see when this annual maintenance is over. The cheap and stable Russian gas has been a blessing for Germany for many, many years.
Do you mean the sanctions, which are strengthening Russia and hurting and damaging EU countries? Will DW keep us warm at winter, by asking this questions?
Oil and gas are not only needed for energy but also various petrochemical products. Renewable energy (i.e ocean, wind, solar) does not produce petrochemical products. Renewable energy cannot replace oil and gas because it is still needed for derivative industries other than for energy.
It will likely replace oil and gas as energy sources. There are already plastics in mass production that are not made using petrochemical products, and that's not including the incentive to innovate recycling methods as plastic increases in price. Oil is going away within the century. It's why oil companies aren't drilling, despite having land with abundant oil: they can't get investors to pay for a well that won't pay itself off for 7 years (under ideal markets) when the outlook of gasoline looks bad. Natural gas is a renewable, by the way. Biodigesters can produce natural gas and hydrogen for an essentially carbon neutral fuel source. They take time to build, but faster than nuclear reactors.
look into the amount of gas and oil needed for such industries. it isntthat much. then look into that gas and oil to be replaced over the next 10 years and its drops to nearly nothing. dump oil and gas fast in definitly the option to take. and the EU will
Who would have thought allowing German reunification by the dominant power Russia in the Soviet Union would one day create an existential threat to itself as it witnesses NATO encirclement . Germany should have vetoed Finland and Sweden entry to NATO.
Germany had to ration energy and heat, so of course it essentially surrendered soon after. This year Germany also turned off it's last two nuclear powerplants, and immediately learned why that's a horrible idea
That is the result of the left/green ideology - horrible for my country. I no longer recognize my country anymore. And that has nothing to do with the war.
From Germany here. We still have 3 nuclear power plants running and we did not ration energy. The thing is, we have enough electricity but it takes time to replace natural gas with electricity. For example: we still have power plants that use gas to produce electricity. Technically we could turn them off to save gas and use nuclear power instead. But those power plants also provide district heating for hundreds of homes. We send so much gas to Poland because Russia turned off the Jamal pipeline that goes from Russia thru Ukraine to Poland.
This is a clear example for politicians not to be in hurry or in rush to punish countries that disagree with their views. Any brilliant people will see this as nothing but a childish behavior. Rush to place sanctions on countries you consider your enemy and than drop sanctions when you feels it backfires.
Well many reports says otherwise. Countries are using more fossil fuels, many scientists also are concerned about the rush to use more fossil fuels before going green.

They have the audacity cuz us is backing them and instruct them to do so
_Audacity_ is the name of the game right now in Europe.
Exactly what I have been thinking
This is a phony statement, because Russia get's a large percentage of it's annual budget from gas sales. Don't act like Russia was doing any favors here. If they permanently cut off the gas, then Russia will cut the nose off it's own face, at a time when they don't have many other options to sale there goods. Keep in mind that US and EU control the insurance markets for international shipping, let alone the NATO navies control all the chokepoints.
German foreign minister came to Mali (West Africa) last month and told in a very patronizing way the Malian government to stop any work and cooperation with Russia if they want Germany/UE to provide "help" or whatever... At the same time, Germany was buy gas from Russia daily... I mean can you make sense of this? You can only think that way when you don't see the other as an equal . She had the audacity to travel there and tell the malian people what do to as if they don't what's good for their own interests. They really think they are the center of the universe lmao...

You cannot simply sanction something that you keeps your economy going, and then turn back and put blames on Russia.
This is very simple. Common sense.
It’s the moral issue. The general public in Germany actually supports the gas part cus they can’t support Russia. I think it’s a Europe thing too… russia crossed their moral line. Sure the economy will be a decrease and the people will pay much more but yeah it’s similar to the immigration crisis. The public supports it although it may have not been that beneficial and rushed.

The turbine being shipped from canada should have been shipped months ago. This delay would be an excuse for extending the maintainence period beyond 10 days. Russia said the reduction of gas to 60% was due to the turbine not being returned. Germany initially said tht was an excuse. If it was why did Germany ask for an exemption to the sanctions. An exemption the US approved. Is the turbine needed or not? Germany seems unable to make up its mind.
The really crazy part is that there is a fully functional second pipeline 'Nordstream2' which could be used but still has no approval from the German government. So this is all home made.
It’s up to the Russians to decide, if it’s needed. We’ll see what they do when it arrives.

Implementing sanctions against Russia and then pleading with them to flog you gas is one of the dumbest political moves I've ever come across
What about not turning off nuclear power plants while you are in the midst of an energy crisis?
Or using coal power plants in stead while promoting cutting down on CO2 emissions.
What about wanting to sustain oneself with renewable energies only in a country, where there are no fast rivers, no heavy tides, not much sun und only here and there a little bit of wind?
Or what about implementing a rule that makes it obligatory for nurses in hospitals to be vaccinated against Covid, while you already have a huge lack of nurses and the trust in the medical system will lead to many nurses rather quit their job than to get the vaccine.
Or and what about having a health care minister crying all the time how bad covid (and long covid) is while at the same time, having him not promote the wide spread usage of antiviral medication and not do anything to improve mendical research in Long Covid?
Those are just a few aspects of the current German idiocracy, or as Heine once put it: "If I think of Germany at night, I won't be able to sleep"
And I am afraid that Germany has already become too benighted to wake up before falling to its demise again.
This is a reaction on ALL the sanctions. Action -reaction.
Canada is holding a Russian cargo plane since Feb 2022. I doubt Russia would accept delivery of the turbines without the cargo plane. Even if Canada agrees to release the cargo plane, it will take many embarrassing maneuvers to get the cargo plane back to Russia: many countries must waive the sanction in order for the plane to transit. This will be one big joke on the integrity of the sanction.

What Russia wants is to keep Europe on life support, prevent them from filling the gas storages for the winter; to be constantly fearful of a gas shortage, so Russia will be in a better position to extort what they want. Simply cutting off the gas supply and losing that income wouldn't serve Russia's goals.
Well, all the Germans have to do is start nord stream 2. But their masters in the US want the European economy crashed. The EU is a bunch of spineless puppets.
Putin dishonors the Russian people with his warmongering
Precisely. Keep the energy supply tight but not cutting it outright. That's the most profitable approach that i see if i'm Russia.
EU wants to keep Europe on life support
Otherwise it would allow nuclear energy and stop being so dependent on Russia
And why not.? Europe wants to destroy the Russian nation with sanctions. Russia should cut all gas supplies to Europe and sell to deserving nations.
This is like world cup , Germany against South Korea. At the end Germany lost 2. 0.
I have to say that Germany has been doing terrible in foreign affairs since last century.

Well German industry is almost fully in the hands of American investors.
Europe needs Russia not vice versa. Russia is a natural supplier of commodities and energy for Europe. USA can offer expensive alternatives for gas and commodities import but it will make EU industry non competive in comparison to China, India etc. Germany's export is falling and recession in EU zone is unavoidable.
@@deesus1085 Do you realize what nonsense you just uttered? 60% of Russian(1.5 trillion) GDP(So 900 billion dollars) is gained from selling oil to Europeans? You're living in an alternate reality.

That's the advantage of being a goods providers while the goods receiver(EU) can only suffer.
@@deesus1085 Russia offers cheaper gas rate compared to others. So you see as capitalism is at the heart of industrialisation, the capitalist would always go for cheap factors of production so as to maximize profit. If Europe decides not to go for Russian gas ,other industrial countries would go for Russian gas, in the long run industries would need to move from Europe to other countries with cheap gas supplies.
The moral here is , who ever owns the natural resources would 80% always be a victor , and with this most other African countries would follow suit. They own the resources. The recursive outcome of what's going on , is more serious that some people see it. It can tip the dominance of European industries.

As a Canadian, the biggest part of this story for me is that Germany is sending complex heavy machinery to Canada to be refurbished! I always think that ours is inferior to German machinery. Why was this job outsourced to us in the first place? Are our pipeline engineering firms that much better than German or Russian ones? Cheaper?
We do have many large pipelines here so maybe we do have good pipeline servicing companies. It is news to me though.
Terribly sorry about all the innocent Russians and Ukranians that are caught in the middle of this conflict that they did not want. I am glad that many Germans are actively finding ways to produce domestic power from both renewable and non renewable sources. Getting energy from abroad seems like nasty business, there is always a big bad strong man getting rich there it seems.

Bc USA can think and decide everything based on her national interest unlike Germany more importantly USA having proxy war in European soil again to mantian her hegemony and national interests so,for USA Germany is after her national interests . that's it period

US depends on Russian Uranium to produce electricity as well.
Finally, it happened. Now, it's a question whether or not the EU particulary the Germany is serious in their sanctions against Russia. Lifting the sanctions is a very good signal for Russia. Poor Ukraine.

Therefore, our government simply does not see the point in talking about such topics and making such proposals - your governments, as before, will brush aside any of our proposals with their inherent arrogance.
They don't want to talk to us as equals - they just want total submission and that we give away our resources for free. And if we also disappear at the same time, it will be the greatest holiday for them.
But we are not going to give them a reason for such a celebration.
Russia is doing exactly that right now
The deindustrialization of Germany by the usa and uk. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that's the meaning of keeping GERMANY out...
Activate north stream 2 and you will get your gas no excuses.
Blow up NS2 and you'll get independence from Russian gas for free
Why have we not heard about any new wind and solar installations being built.
There is an information about the windmill and solar panel efficiency. Just calculate how many of them Germany needed to replace the gas.
The basic answer is because solar and wind plants can’t do what is needed. They simply arent capable of keeping up with all the energy needs in high demand periods like winter
I dont know why you havent heard anything about it, but i just heard recently that Habeck is working right now on a new law that speeds up the building of exactly those 2 energy supplies.
Because they sadly can't replace gas. The gas that's needed for energy isn't much, it can be replaced easily. But you can't quickly replace the heating. Also natural gas is needed for lots of chemical processes and industrial products
You still eating a scam caled solar, wind ?
I don't really understand 🤔 you all needed Russia so much h and you were pushing for sanctions? I am very lost and asking why Russia is obligated or should deliver gas to you?
The EU is under the control of USA the top dog. EU must say and do what the top dog wants. That’s the problem for the EU. They should have all gone out of NATO a long time ago and set up their own military system. Then they could have made their own decisions.
Germany need to get it together and stop factiliating Russias war.
This is 100% true. Germany needs to take some responsibility.
@@theculturedjinni Why would they make their citizens suffer for Ukraine? I would say that makes their government illegitimate. If Im a citizen of Germany and the leader of my country puts ukranian interests before German citizens that makes them a rogue government.
It would have looked soo much better for Germany if they had cut it themselves!!
I don´t know, does it look better for a guy on the gallows to slip the noose over his own neck? Id say its a distinction without a difference.
Zelenski-type hyping on looks?
@@1112viggo yeah it's a bloody impossible position to be in!
Don't bite the hand that feeds you!
End all energy sanctions on Russia, how far are we willing to tolerate this madness at the expense of our economies?
The Proxy war backfired. Unfortunately Ukraine will go down brutally as no one will defend it no more give it a few….
It would be hilarious Russia informs Germany ten days later: you’d better get Northstream 2 ready for gas; sorry, we can’t fix Northstream 1 and no more gas through it🤣
What a mess the west are created for themselves ?
Yea and as ns1 need the turbines back from Canada.
LOL
Extremely smarttt... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly what I was thinking this morning
Must be awful for leader of EU - lost a lot of influence as EU tries to justify break own rules!.
Germany needs to do some b.egging. a lot of it
Did you say 'Leaders'? They are complete cads.
You must be from the brexit island… care for your own problems…
Repairs take 10days, Maintenace take 10days, to check the whole gas pipelines prior startup 30days Safety is First, Russia require tons of Siberian Firewoods to liquidify the frozen gas for actual start up of the plant 15days. Cleaning the firewood ashes 7days. This is if all goes well....if there's a hick up and repairs and maintenace stretch into winter...Russian workers will not want to work. Russians now has money many many. All want to go to Turkiye, to Asia for a sunny holiday.
Germany shud plan and go try buy its gas from Norway and US. Plan for the worst and pray for the best. Its good also to start believing in God.
Norway is already at full capacity this is the main problem there, and US seems to have huge problems upping their production, a natural gaz factory just recently exploded because they tried to match the demand, not even mentioning the price difference between russian and US gaz, i fear that poverty is around the corner for millions of europeans soon.
Germany will never do it again, they may start to use there head not there foot.

If the US is weaponizing the dollar, Europe the swiss then why do you complain when Russia weaponizes oil and gas? Now I understand why Putun said he hasn't even started.
Did Germany and Canada ask washington’s permission for those parts to be returned?
as a good slave, of course we are
Talk about bitting the hand that feeds you 🤣
Why germany ask u.s the solution when u.s preasured germany to stop russian oil if u.s has no solution let germany do what is best for its people and behave as independent country
But if you get rid of the EU, Europe will eat itself like so many times in the past. So much for being "civilized".
I think Russia will sell gas to Germany as long as possible. This is good money for Russia.
Let see when this annual maintenance is over.
The cheap and stable Russian gas has been a blessing for Germany for many, many years.
Do you mean the sanctions, which are strengthening Russia and hurting and damaging EU countries? Will DW keep us warm at winter, by asking this questions?
...Strengthening Ruzzia? lol

Oil and gas are not only needed for energy but also various petrochemical products. Renewable energy (i.e ocean, wind, solar) does not produce petrochemical products. Renewable energy cannot replace oil and gas because it is still needed for derivative industries other than for energy.
Nuclear energy................... NUCLEAR ENERGY!
edit2:(lessen Fossil fuel consumption and redirect spare resources to production)
@@fr21_org nuclear doesn't produce them either, bud.
Ok Einstein.
It will likely replace oil and gas as energy sources. There are already plastics in mass production that are not made using petrochemical products, and that's not including the incentive to innovate recycling methods as plastic increases in price.
Oil is going away within the century. It's why oil companies aren't drilling, despite having land with abundant oil: they can't get investors to pay for a well that won't pay itself off for 7 years (under ideal markets) when the outlook of gasoline looks bad.
Natural gas is a renewable, by the way. Biodigesters can produce natural gas and hydrogen for an essentially carbon neutral fuel source. They take time to build, but faster than nuclear reactors.
look into the amount of gas and oil needed for such industries. it isntthat much. then look into that gas and oil to be replaced over the next 10 years and its drops to nearly nothing. dump oil and gas fast in definitly the option to take. and the EU will
"Playing along" is the right phrase.
Who could have ever guessed it to be a horrible idea tying so much of Germany's energy needs, and economy, to Russia?
Why, does Germany needs to get it from USA?
The idea was no to be tied to Russia - the US wants the EU off Russian gas paying for energy at higher prices in dollars and not rubles.
@KJER ERRT
They have plenty of coal
@KJER ERRT "coal in the 21st century is not very cool"
But it works. Go for it!
Who would have thought allowing German reunification by the dominant power Russia in the Soviet Union would one day create an existential threat to itself as it witnesses NATO encirclement . Germany should have vetoed Finland and Sweden entry to NATO.
Germany had to ration energy and heat, so of course it essentially surrendered soon after. This year Germany also turned off it's last two nuclear powerplants, and immediately learned why that's a horrible idea
3 are still runnung until the end of the year. However Germany's Green party would sooner see people freeze than continue with nuclear power.
That is the result of the left/green ideology - horrible for my country. I no longer recognize my country anymore. And that has nothing to do with the war.
They don’t what Russian oil and gas, so why are they complaining?
From Germany here.
We still have 3 nuclear power plants running and we did not ration energy.
The thing is, we have enough electricity but it takes time to replace natural gas with electricity.
For example: we still have power plants that use gas to produce electricity.
Technically we could turn them off to save gas and use nuclear power instead. But those power plants also provide district heating for hundreds of homes.
We send so much gas to Poland because Russia turned off the Jamal pipeline that goes from Russia thru Ukraine to Poland.
Well our green minister for economy still doesnt think that was a horrible idea... but he also thinks we dont need gas for electricity...
It's going to be a long, cold Winter 🥶🥶
This is a clear example for politicians not to be in hurry or in rush to punish countries that disagree with their views. Any brilliant people will see this as nothing but a childish behavior. Rush to place sanctions on countries you consider your enemy and than drop sanctions when you feels it backfires.
Once again want to thank the russians for giving our politicians the kick to really speed up renewable energy and energy independence
You mean cutting down trees for fire wood?
@@juamu1132 Trees are carbon neutral.
Should the Russians kick a little bit harder? Of course, they are only going to do it for your benefit.
good luck for that... 😂😂😂
Well many reports says otherwise. Countries are using more fossil fuels, many scientists also are concerned about the rush to use more fossil fuels before going green.
Desperation wil lead to desperate meassures and this is not always a good thing.
It might is never a good thing, but better than bussiness as usual.
Yep, Germany sold put to the enemy a bitter pill to swallow but not impossible to recover from...
They should gave seen this coming. Hopefully they’ll see the lite 🤔
America won't allow it 😂
Definitely not from the gas burning 😂
Unemployment keeps surging and bills wait for no one that’s why we have to figure new ways to make an income, I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $210,000 in 4 months from $30k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas
@Tace Lades Exactly, the trick is to diversify your investment, don't panic when everyone else do and invest consistently

I told you so Germany 🇩🇪 can be trusted in anything whatsoever.
…can or can’t? People don’t seem to know the difference.
The EU must say and do as told by top dog USA. If EU wasn’t in the NATO and instead had its own military system they could make their own decisions. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
Russia knows where and when to hit back at unfriendly countries
Sanctions left the chat😂😂
Common people in EU should not have to suffer without gas due to Ukraine's war.
They should have enforced the Minsk Agreement. 😀
Maybe it's time for you to actually read that Minsk Agreement.
Oh well 🤡:they chose Budapest memorandum instead 💪
@@raymondk2202 I read it, Ukraine completed 0 chapters, while half of chapters Ukraine should do solely and half could do solely. what is you point?
I think putin has big respection for Germany since merkels regime, his problem is with UK and USA hegemony so,Germany should look every thing after her national interests rather than being on call sugar dad of 🇺🇸. By no means Russia is equivalently enemies of all EU contouries
Germany needs to get off Russian fuel. Just because Putin gets his turbine back, doesn't mean Russia will turn the gas back on. Russia is using gas as a blackmail. You really aren't very smart are you? Germany needs to join the rest of the free world and do it's part to make SURE not just Ukraine but ALL of Europe retains it's independence, sovereignty, and freedom. Only way to do that is to STOP Putin.
Remember that Germany shut down their own nuclear power plant. That didn't age so well, eh?
You know where the uranium rods for those nuclear power plants come from? Russia. You would just change what you pay for, not who you pay.
