EU is not a sovereign union. They are vassals of the US.

Difficult to say who controls who. I suspect there's a power above both. US leaders don't act in US interests either.

Some people scream "The Jews", but I think that's a distraction as well. I don't see foreign policy actually being beneficial to Israeli citizens or the nation. If Israel acted on the behalf of their citizens, they'd be working for peace accords, and affirming peace through power. They would demand terms and conditions and forcibly hold to them, and fuck what the Palestinians want or the surrounding countries claim to desire.

And Israel would not have forced the vaxx on its citizens.

Might be a helluva lot more toasted if this analysis turns true: https://electroverse.co/carrington-like-coronal-mass-ejection-cme-to-strike-earth-on-friday-september-23/

If fastest CME will hit Earth in 15 hours or at 20 UTC. Would only give Cali folks until 1pm, Friday, to buy all the water and whiskey they can and back to hunkering down. Here at Cocoa Beach, 4 pm. All of USA wil be hit.

Average CME speeds will put it on Earth in 7 days, slwest CME rates.......18 days.

The warden at the prison that Jeffrey Epstein "killed" himself at got promoted.

He didn't fuck up. He did his job.

Just like Alec Baldwin ''did his job'. Walked away indemnified and exonerated, as planned aforethought by his Masonic connections. No mention even of negligence, or even hitting the other guy who survived.

It would be nice for some nation to make agreements with Africa, rather than just exploiting the shit out of them.

I doubt this doesn't have strings attached.

I've talked to Africans, they tell me China builds infrastructure but places the nation into debt, and the infrastructure is crap and falls apart so the nation ends up with a bunch of rubble, and a bunch of debt.

Is this fertilizer dead Ukrainians perchance?

This is good: the USSR went down the tubes doing exactly this - giving out free shit all over Africa, Asia and LA.

DW:

German gas storage 90% full ahead of winter despite Russian cuts

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said Germany has a chance of getting through the winter "comfortably" despite the lack of Russian gas. Germany is on track to meet a 95% storage capacity target by November.

Gas storage facilities in Germany are more than 90% full, according to data released by the Aggregated Gas Storage Inventory (AGSI), a European energy data platform.

The German government has planned for 95% of storage capacity to be filled by November. The storage is seen as essential for Germany to get through winter without Russian gas imports.

"If everything goes well, savings in Germany are high and if we have a bit of luck with the weather, we will have a chance at getting through the winter comfortably," Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Monday.
...
Germany also receives natural gas via pipelines from Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium. Over the weekend, Germany expects to sign contracts for the delivery of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the United Arab Emirates.

France's energy regulator CRE said natural gas exports to Germany could start in October. Construction on one of Germany's new LNG terminals is also set to begin this week.

If they get the coldest winter in history 100s of millions of Europeans are literally going to die.

Not so sure about that. A heat wave can kill Europeans (like the 10,000 French who died during the heat wave awhile back), but Europeans are acclimated to cold. I doubt we will see Germans freezing to death.

Which country introduced the first mass vaccinations against covid?
What is the vaccination% in Russia, which apparently is not going down the tubes, unlike rest of Europe, and which is conveniently omitted from the Table below?

This isn't even fucking that cold. This sarcasm? 48ºF? For real? Mountainous regions might be fucked, but it doesn't get that cold in most of Europe outside of an extreme event. Climate wise it's generally like TN. There's not going to be some mass casualty event. They'll just pay more for gas. They made their own bed.

This winter just giggle at the hypocrisy as the Green Europeans have pollution advisories from all the wood smoke. People will be amazed at how many fireplaces and wood burning stoves the Europeans have.

It's pretty obvious by now that all the Green Cunts were firmly on the Ruscist payroll for many decades.

PS. You are not going to cry "wood smoke baaaaad!" now, would you?

Since most of the upper echelons of the Euroweenie governments are super pro-green energy, and beat everyone with the climate change denier label if they talk rationally about energy as well as most of the American elites ---- Then you'd have to say that all these idiots were on the Russian payroll.

What happens to Russia when Europe gets through this winter?

It will certainly be a rough and expensive winter for Europe, but they will get through it without massive death - and Russia will be stuck having purposefully lost their richest customers for decades to come.

Russia can only use energy as a weapon once. Europe is busy building floating LNG facilities to take US natural gas, they are keeping nuke plants operating and firing up old coal power plants to make up for the loss of Russian gas.

Even the Germans aren't retarded enough to go back to relying so heavily on Russian energy after all this bullshit.

I plan to visit the UK on a Hipster Holiday around New Years.

As it'll be a holiday for me, I hope I won't see folks in misery.

My hope is that the locals will be too drunk to be miserable.

Russian economy is projected to boom next year while Europeans face economic collapse next year.

Is Russia going to "boom" just selling to India and China having lost their European clients? China's population is starting to decline.

Who is going to want to buy crap Russian military hardware after seeing how poorly it performed in Ukraine?

ZipperTits says

Oil isn't crap. Wheat isn't crap. Chinese -- and lots of Africa -- desperately needs both.

Yeah - but they are all commodities that are impacted by demand. You think the shit-poor Africans and the Chinese are going to be paying a premium for energy and wheat like Europe would be doing?

Russia will certainly get some short term gain while Europe suffers over the next year, but I think Russia is killing themselves in the long term.

FWIW

Until Germans start drilling deep under the Ruhr coal beds for natural gas (just like natural gas under the coal beds of Pennsylvania and OK/TX old oil fields), existing evidences seem to indicate that Europe is still run by puppets like Hitler and Napoleon, who were plucked out of obscurity to implement intentionally insane policies / wars in order to kill millions of people so that the banksters can have liabilities wiped off their books. So long as Germans have to import energy (due to deliberate policies preventing domestic production, like Green policies and anti-nuke policies), that import can be turned off and the savers can be frozen to death so that banksters never have to pay back the money.

You can get rich two ways:

1) you can make more money than others
2) you can impoverish the others

Russia is doing #2 here.

Notice we can't invest in Russian corporations now - WE can't, but I guarantee American financial institutions are able to do it.

Only the United States thinks war == economy.

China builds shit, and Russia provides energy to build shit. It's only the United States that still thinks the broken window theory is real.

Real war is nuclear annihilation. Nobody but an insane asshole thinks they can win that, unfortunately, we have a bunch of octogenarian insane assholes in control of this country. Mutually Assured Destruction is still in effect. Russia is still a nuclear super-power. How can you not realize this?

richwicks says

Of FFS.

Virtually the entire 3rd world bought weapons from Russia and China over the last half century.

The AK47 is the most ubiquitous weapon on the planet.

The Russian government has decided for the second time this year to raise tariffs for gas and housing and communal services for business and the population.

Gas tariffs for industry and citizens will increase by 8.5%, the Ministry of Economic Development told Interfax. This indexation will be a record one since 2013, when gas prices went up by 15% at once.

Electricity for Russians will rise in price by 9% and the tariff for network companies will increase by the same amount. At the same time, prices in bills for hot and cold water, heat and municipal solid waste will be indexed by the same 9%.

Yeah, the US has been selling weapons to various militias, basically criminal syndicates for the last 70 years and at the same time stirs up as much shit as possible to create the needed market for them.
