It's not really possible to let the invasion with loots, executions, rapes to continue without doing something.

Allies assistance will progressively increase while EU energy dependance will diminish.

Nato alone has 25 times the GDP of Russia.

Keep babbling about GDP numbers while your people starve, cannot afford fuel or electricity and Russia wins the war lol

Can't wait for not trying the 30 years old new LADA model ...
I wish my shitmulti has airbags.

Is "shitmulti" the only word in your vocabulary? Why do you say that every 5 mins?

So in the last week or so this happened:

60% less gas was delivered to Germany's Uniper
50% less gas was delivered to Italy
Gas deliveries completely stop to France

IMO what I think is happening is Europe most likely is trying to import as much gas as possible from Russia currently to fill inventories for winter. Russia knows this and won't let it happen so as to keep some leverage.

It's interesting because Russia hold the leverage in the short term and the West holds it in the medium - long term. Russia will mostly cease to be an oil supplier to the West from next year; harming their own revenues on gas seems counterproductive, but if the West is going to move away from Russian gas eventually then it's just a case of timing

In the bigger picture the biggest winners are the US. They're now the largest gas and oil exporter in the world, they're bringing Europe closer to them after years of fractuous relations while simultaneously reducing their dependency on a geopolitical rival. China and India don't have natural resources at their disposal so it's a big win for the US long term

Zelensky adviser: Ukraine can win war in '3 to 6 months' if it gets heavy weapons soon

More weapon please, it's cheap...

They are still suppling oil to the west by using blends/unmarked ships and of course by shipping into India for refinement which in turn is sold back onto oil markets. This IMO won't change.

Winners are the US, India, China.

Losers: Europe, Russia, much of the 3rd world that can't compete or afford sky high energy prices
