Russia will completely stop the delivery of gas through the Ukraine

First, I was a little skeptical. Then more and more sources confirmed what seems to be a fact: Russia will completely stop the delivery of gaz through the Ukraine and all Russian gaz will now flow through Turkey (see Bloomberg and LifeNews). Not only that, but the Russians have told the Europeans that if they want Russian gaz, they will have to build their own pipeline to Turkey at pay for it all.


Putin and Miller
The Europeans appear to be shell-shocked. Maros Sefcovic, the European Commission’s vice president for energy union, declared that this decision made "no economic sense". As if the nonstop economic and political warfare waged by the EU against Russia did make any sense!
I can image the faces of the Eurobureaucrats when Alexei Miller, the head of Gazprom, told them that "now it is up to them to put in place the necessary infrastructure starting from the Turkish-Greek border” while the Russian Energy Minister Novak added that "the decision has been made, we are diversifying and eliminating the risks of unreliable countries that caused problems in past years, including for European consumers.

In other words, the EU just lost it all and so did the Ukraine. Keep in mind that the EU has no other options then to purchase the Russian gas from Turkey while Russia can simply do without gaz exports to Europe because China has already signed a contract covering the exact same amount of gas and possibly much more.
Let's see now how the infinitely corrupt, arrogant, criminally irresponsible European elites will cope with an agriculture choking in useless surplus stocks, a society waging ideological war on 1.6 billion Muslims, and now with no energy.
The always irreplaceable Poles have come up with a brilliant strategy it appears: they will "not really" invite Putin to the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz even though Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet military. I am sure that Putin will be both impressed and heartbroken.

Nowadays every time I hear any news out of Europe, I always think that Victoria Nuland's famous "f**k the EU" and how Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, called his colleagues the "great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies". I share exactly the same sentiments: let them "Charlies" now freeze in their own pathetic mediocrity.

Russians mean business. Intelligent move.
 
the infinitely corrupt, arrogant, criminally irresponsible European elites

and what about the infinitely corrupt, arrogant, criminally irresponsible Russian elites?

In any case, Russia will still suffer alot.

It's Russia that is showing arrogance right now, not the EU.

According to the first contract signed on 21 May 2014, the infrastructures have begun construction in both Eastern section (Heilongjiang) and Western section (Xinjiang). Once completed Russia can deliver around 68 billion cu.m every year to China.
- This volume is a little more than half of what Russia delivered to EU in 2013.
- In the 130 cu.m Russia delivered to EU, half delivered thr Ukraine.
So the author's calculation is about right.

Right Sector plans to sabotage pipelines. No way Russia send gas to Europe through Ukraine. Good move by Put :p:

How?
It was Europe who created endless hurdles for South stream and is now reaping the reward.
As the author rightly says "let them Charlies now freeze".
