You don’t understand. It’s not about no more natural gas but no more gas from Russia.
Germany will import gas from US, Saudi and Arab sheiks, and who knows from Indonesia.
Today Germany gives 200 million euros gas bill to Putin. Per day. In the future that money goes to other people’s pockets.
Putin will get 0 euros.
It’s about making Russians poorer.

Check the last sentence of my post. I said, i am not too optimistic about not importing energy from Russia by the end of this year without bankrupting the state of having its citizen subjected to energy price inflation. Mind you Germany is already hitting 39% inflation in Gas and Oil prices by March this year. Normally, we would already call it an onset of hyperinflation.

Not really. Usa is already a winner. Massive market for us oil and gas. Largest in the world. And huge market for us arms industry not to mention entire eu will have no choice but work with usa when it comes to asia pacific as well.

It costs USA its reputation. The same way Soviet suffered when China invaded Vietnam in 1979, which basically marked the end of its expansion. If Ukraine loses, then NATO expansion to the rest of the world would lose its credibility.

That’s massive. Almost 1/3 of russia military budget.

Only USD20bn in military aid, the rest is economic and humanitarian aid.

The proposal includes $20m in military assistance to Ukraine, $8.5bn in economic support and $3bn for humanitarian aid. As well as money to help with global food shortages caused by the war.

Edit: Mistake in the BBC article, should be USD20bn, not million.

Ukraine has been provided $4-5B in US military aid to date. A jump to $15-20B in weapons packages is enough to last Ukraine at least another 6 months.

Russia not going to bomb that Azovstal steel plant, remnant of Mariupol as that can be so easily done.

Among other top brass hiding in the cellar there, there is this Canadian General that Russia want to capture and put on trial, hopefully followed by public hanging

Russia isn't going to bomb the parts of Ukraine populated by Russians that it wants to take. What it's going to bomb heavily are the portions of western Ukraine that have a hostile, recalcitrant population that it cannot absorb.

Ukraine is too large for a European country and needs to be resized.

Any Canadian who would fight alongside Nazis is a traitor. I hope Russia makes an example of him.

Russia does not have a limitless supply chain. Thats an utter lie. They have very few reserves they can inject into Ukraine and their ability to develop modern weapons is severely hampered by Western sanctions.

Since when has the USSR or the Russians for that matter ever needed to rely on the "west" for weapons development?! What a stupid argument!

 

[Abid123]

That’s massive. Almost 1/3 of russia military budget.

Russia's military budget is 150 billion PPP.

20 billion is too little. Need 20 trillion at least.

Lets wait and see. You do have a good point.
