Buying gas from the US is giving money to fuel unrest and instability across the world. You've picked a side. The MIC thanks you.

 

You assume the gas is from the USA.  Are you aware that the while the USA  exports to Europe, it is a relatively small amount.  Approx. 1/3+ of all gas exports are to Mexico. A smaller amount is to Canada. The USA imports an amount of gas from Canada that is nearly equal to that which it exports to Europe. In effect the gas in large part is either Canadian or is offset by Canadian imports. The USa is not making windfall profits, nor generating the  government tax revenues from the. transactions to accomplish  what you claim.

 

Once the Trudeau government is  removed, Canada will start exporting oil and gas to  Europe and will most likely sign a long term supply agreement that dwarfs the US  supply. The Trudeau government has refused to allow energy exports to Europe because of its carbon pollution goals. 

 

The  energy exports from the USA are environmentally respectful. The Russian energy exports  leave a trail of environmental destruction and degradation. The EU should have stopped  importing Russian energy long ago if it was sincere about its environmental  objectives.

Of course it hurts the West, but that is the price to stand up to an aggressor like Putin, but it's certainly hurting Russia a lot more

Did you even watch the linked program? Russia is still selling gas to Europe but it costs them more.

 

Germany going into recession and companies closing is the "price". I guess it doesn't affect YOU then, to be so blase.

The US, which is the driver of this proxy war is doing great out of it, selling lots of weapons and munitions, and now getting to sell gas to Europe. Ukrainians not doing well at all, and now Europeans suffering high prices for gas.

Of course the leaders are not suffering at all, until the next elections.

Orders like that always come from those that are miles and miles behind the lines. To them the boys dying are just pawns.

 

I did say right at the start of the incursion that the Russians only need to cut the supply lines and seems that has happened.

Our leader, Vladimir, recently said that Russia has enough strength to return all its historical territories. Z guys fully endorse the ambitions of our leader.
Russian people are gradually getting tired of war and this creates a demand for a large, strong state like the Soviet Union.
Many Ukrainians are fighting heroically for their independence. However, Vladimir knows that in war heroes gradually pass away, and most people are not heroes and just want to live in security, like in the Soviet Union.

Slightly old news but a Russian missile dseigner, Mikhail Shatsky, was found shot outside of Moscow.

Telegram, both Russian and Ukrainian accounts, is abuzz with news of a new Ukraine counteroffensive in at least three areas around Kursk involving tanks and other armoured vehicles.  The Russian channels are all saying there is massive electronic warfare going on - from the Ukrainian side, severely impacting the ability to launch drones, with one Russian account going so far to say that "nothing is flying at all".

Are there any military experts on here who can enlighten some of us as to how such an attack can influence and or determine the outcome of this conflict or how it would help to slow down the advance of the Russian forces towards Porkrovsk and the Dnipro River? 
 

From a layman’s perspective, this is nothing more than an annoyance and a wastage of scarce resources providing nothing other than a false boost in morale.
