    In fact, I don’t see where else they could get it at this point. Export capacity from the US is limited, and their producers can’t fill such a huge gap. The real question is why Russia would sell gas to them right now instead of their partners in BRICS.

    • The best possible outcome is for Europe to return to being an agrarian economy. The world doesn’t need European manufacturing, and Europe might become peaceful or at least less of a threat to the rest of the world.

          Must be killing you to realize that your crumbling empires are becoming a part of history as they fade into irrelevance today, and not even being able to whine about it online

        Europe is not a threat to the world. The US, and in smaller part the UK and France probably are. I do not think anybody needs to worry about Denmark or Germany invading their country. On the contrary, the continuous threats to European security are pushing for European rearmament and military unification.

          I guess Icelandic are happy to not be under Denmark rule since 1946 and Greenland would probably like some more independance I think

        • Germany is the 3rd largest weapons provider to Israel, and Merz did say that Israel is doing their dirty work. Germany is clearly a threat. I don’t know enough to pass a judgement on Denmark but I don’t expect it to be significantly better.

            Iran, china, India does the same with weapon exports. If you are industrialized you sell weapons.

                Iran and china supply Russia against Ukraine. Is the genocide done by Israel bad but the one done by Russia fine?

                  Evidence of genocide in Palestine:


                  Evidence of genocide in Ukraine:

                  But Ukraine is the one committing it.

                  Genocide is always bad, but Russia isn’t guilty of it. There is a definition for genocide and it doesn’t apply to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Accusing Russia of genocide is either ignorance on your behalf to what a genocide is, or a roundabout way to deny it in Palestine.

                    Honestly, I could list hundreds of documented instances of Russia genocide in Ukraine, with state sponsored declarations of explicit genocide intent. The evidence is so well documented and overwhelming that I can only presume a biased dishonest stance from you.

                    Making discussing this with you a waste of time.

                    EDIT: making a small list to shut down deniers. I will not waste more time than this on something so easy to research. According to UN genocide convention:

                    1. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group (Article II, Section e): the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova (Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights). Ukraine has documented the forced deportation of over 19,000 children to Russia or Russian-occupied territories, where they are frequently subjected to “Russification” processes, given Russian citizenship, and placed with Russian families.
                    2. Killing members of the group & Causing serious bodily or mental harm (Article II, Sections a & b): The UN Commission of Inquiry and various human rights groups have extensively documented mass executions, systematic torture, and sexual violence in previously occupied areas such as Bucha, Izyum, and Kherson.
                    3. State promoted deletion of Ukrainian culture and identity: Vladimir Putin: In his July 2021 essay, “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians,” Putin laid the ideological groundwork for the invasion by explicitly denying the existence of a distinct Ukrainian nation, arguing that Ukrainians and Russians are “one people” and that a sovereign Ukraine is an artificial construct entirely created by foreign powers. Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia): Medvedev has repeatedly used eliminationist rhetoric on his official Telegram channel. He has referred to Ukraine as a “fake” and “cancerous” state, stated that “deep Ukrainianism… is one big fake,” and declared that a sovereign Ukraine has no right to exist and must be entirely absorbed or destroyed. Maria Lvova-Belova: In public broadcasts, she has openly discussed the systematic removal of Ukrainian children and their “integration” into Russian society. She has spoken about teaching Ukrainian children to love Russia, effectively admitting to the intent to erase their previous national identity.

                    This is 100% genocide, and if you negate that you live in a different reality than me. On top of that, Russia is currently engaging in a war of conquest. Russia is a country build on genocide and conquest.
