How do you think China would respond to this crisis? your thoughts please.
China has made its impressive economic breakthrough on cheap coal. Then coal deposits in China began to run out and now China is the most energy-deficient country in the world. Western sanctions are pushing Russia to turn its back on Europe and divert more oil and coal to Asia, including China. If the sanctions last long enough to destroy the economic ties between Russia and Europe, China will become one of the main beneficiaries of this crisis. |

But about the lack of LNG terminals - do you think if you lie so primitively, the terminals will disappear? Or will everyone believe and not check? You're not in Russia, this doesn't work here  Or maybe you just don't know? Well then, I apologize. For one I will give you data from the real world - On the European continent, including Turkey, today there are 28 terminals for receiving and processing LNG. At the same time, according to the latest data, only half of the capacities of these terminals are used. - Spain is the country with the most LNG terminals in Europe. In total, six terminals operate in this country with an annual capacity of 43.8 million tons. - there are 3 LNG terminals in the UK with an annual capacity of 38.1 million tons, - in France 4 terminals with a capacity of 25 million tons - Italy has 3 terminals with a capacity of 11 million tons. - 2 LNG terminals operate in Turkey, - in Belgium, Greece, Portugal, the Netherlands and Poland - one each. - In addition, Turkey has in its arsenal 2 floating regasification units (PRGU), Israel, Lithuania and Croatia - one PRGU each. - There are also small terminals for receiving LNG in countries such as Norway, Sweden and Malta, which are not included in the list of LNG import terminals. - The total capacity of LNG terminals in Europe is about 150 million tons. However, today their workload is about 50%. - Today, Europe meets only a quarter of its gas needs with LNG. At the same time, there are about 70-75 million tons of free capacity. And this means that after a full load, the EU will be able to replace more than half of Russian gas supplies, minimize the risks with gas supplies and stop financing international terrorists. Knowledge is power ! But lies are stupid and always revealed .... 5. I agree! But for the betrayal of some, others can pay! This is also to p.p. 4 about betrayal. Let me remind Germany and Italy of the words of the Kremlin's miserable likeness of Hitler - "like it or not, bear it my beauty" ("нpaвитcя, нe нpaвитcя, тepпи мoя кpacaвицa"), now this applies to these two countries! You have listed the number of terminals in Europe, but how many are in Germany? At the moment - zero. Do not accuse me of lying if you are not attentive and do not own the subject of the conversation. ps The Central Bank of Russia today lowered the key rate by 3%, the ruble reacted with a noticeable decline. It is quite easy to weaken your currency, the reverse process is noticeably more painful and difficult. |

You really look at the tied up and executed bodies in Bucha, and think to yourself: They would never do that to me. I'm on their side, Right?
Well maybe they would accept you on their side. except they would also give you a gun and tell you to march forward or get shot if you disobey or run.
So the choices between execution and forced conscription are somewhat alluring to you? You realise that Bucha was meant as warning of whats to come to the west, right?
What we need to do on the internet is weed out potential traitors while we have the chance. so people like that won't get the chance to paint infrared-reflective X's on people's houses as targets for Russian Air Force. Maybe we should start making a list starting on Bitcointalk. Surely they have some IP addresses of some interesting people.
Ukraine killed the traitors before the enemies. Thats what war is.
Are you still chewing that Butch gum? It seems to have been rotten since it turned out that some of the civilians died from cluster munitions from the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while others were executed by Bosman's Nazis during the cleansing of "collaborators". |

Its possible for the world to run with water, there were already cars using waters which hydrogen is extracted from water to do the combustion. Its going to work. The problem with this situation is that the businessmen who runs the show. Them who runs the economy of the world, how are they going to make money out of water when its readily available for all. This sort of argument has been going on for many decades now. Trust me, if there was a suitable replacement for crude oil, then it could have easily replaced crude oil and gas within a span of few years. But the truth is that, till now there is no such replacement. EVs are insanely expensive and the batteries need to be replaced very frequently (on top of that there is a shortage of Lithium and Cobalt). And now coming to Hydrogen, it is neither safe nor portable. For the next two decades, the green lobby will make tall claims of running vehicles on hydrogen and electricity, and nothing will change on the ground. I call this syndrome "Gretta Thunberg of the brain". It seems that many "greens" are absolutely sincerely convinced that the electricity to charge electric vehicles is generated in a charging station. The problems of recycling used batteries and windmills are also diligently ignored. I looked at the ruble 1. Do you remember the dollar exchange rate, OFFICIAL, in the USSR? Do you know why it is so "stable"? And what will happen when they impose an embargo on the purchase of oil and gas? I give about 1-2 months after the embargo is introduced, and I predict a total collapse of the ruble. Now, by the way, it is not the stabilization of the ruble, but the washing out of the currency from the hamsters who still keep the dollar and the euro "under the mattress." 2. What can you say about the fact that the strengthening of the ruble is not economically beneficial for Russian exporters. "Great Economist" Kremlin miserable copy of Hitler, that one says that the depreciation of the ruble is pure benefit for the economy! Here is a link to a video where he explains this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJo1YvNI6EQ (we turn on subtitles and translation, and read) So someone sabotaged? 3. What currency is the Russian budget in? And what will the strengthening of the dollar lead to, despite the fact that the budget of Russia in good times was formed by 40-50% due to EXPORT and foreign exchange earnings? 4. About Germany. Germany's consumption of Russian gas is about 50%. Accordingly, Qatar will replace half of the gas from Russia. It's already good. LNG - yes, maybe a little more expensive, but at the same time, its supplies are increasing every day. Germany WILL have to pay for its flirtations and venality to the Kremlin terrorists - this is a fact, but they themselves are to blame for this. No need to choose such "friends" and sell yourself There will be no suicide. There will be retribution for the "mistakes" made earlier. And in a couple of years the situation will completely stabilize, and everyone will forget about gas from Russia ... 5. About Europe. Europe, namely Germany, Italy, France, Hungary - these are those who lay under Russia, selling themselves, exchanging their pocket interests above the interests of the EU and their countries. Now they are paying for it. This is fine. It's like smoking, and then treating a long and expensive lung disease. This is predictable, they talked about it and warned, but someone decided that it would bypass him. No - it didn't work All other countries do not have a critical dependence on Russian gas and are now actively looking for and finding alternative supplies. 1. There will be no embargo if you haven't figured it out yet. 2. The excessive strengthening of the ruble is indeed a problem. Fortunately, it is much easier to weaken your national currency than to strengthen it. I think in the near future the Central Bank of Russia will significantly reduce the key rate and this will make the ruble cheaper. This is the most obvious measure, but more surprises from the Kremlin are possible. 3. The budget of Russia is formed and executed in rubles. 4. Germany doesn't have a good choice right now. Either buy expensive liquefied gas or expensive pipeline gas, and there will be no more cheap pipeline gas from Russia. And there is not a single terminal for receiving liquefied gas, they are just being built. 5. Germany, Italy and Austria are countries heavily dependent on Russian gas and at the same time they are the industrial backbone of Europe. Coincidence? I do not think so. It is on cheap pipeline gas from Russia that all the industrial power of Europe rests, some industrial giants are directly connected to the main gas pipeline. Remove cheap Russian gas and Europe will turn into an office. With millions of unemployed and refugees, and with unprofitable industrial production. |

And why did you again pull out a piece from the interview, passing it off as the main essence, moreover, as the main message? Don't believe? Let's compare what you put in the headline and what is actually? You write: "In the coming days, Bulgaria will hold talks with the European Commission and discuss with its representatives Russia's demand to pay for gas in rubles" The article, in fact, is called "Can Bulgaria also pay for Russian gas in rubles?". There is a difference, right? And now I will briefly retell what the interview itself is about. This is where it gets even more interesting! And so - what is it all about? And it’s about the fact that reporters are interested in the opinion of the Minister of Energy, on such a question (journalists ask this question) - if Germany and Italy pay for gas in rubles (as the Kremlin terrorist demands in hysterics since April 1), then what should be the position Bulgaria, Poland and other countries that adhere to the legal side and comply with the terms of the contract, and not someone else's fantasy. To which the minister replies - that the question is good, and it will be voiced at the level of the European Commission (which is categorically against fulfilling the idiotic demands of the global, including economic, terrorist). The Minister also notes that yes, the level of solidarity should be maximum, and if there are exceptions, this should be discussed. At the same time, the minister said that Gazprom uses gas supplies "as a political tool for pressure", and "the most unpleasant thing is that he (Gazprom) is an unpredictable partner." And to the question of journalists "Why YOU SAY that Russia wants to use Gazprom as a weapon to destabilize Bulgaria", he answered bluntly - "because, obviously, she has an interest in this. This is my interpretation of what is happening" Also, very lol (by the way, why did you decide to skip it? ), he told that at the beginning of June tankers with liquefied gas from the USA ALREADY ARRIVAL, and a contract was signed with the USA where the price of gas is BETTER than the price from Gazprom! This is real lol! I'm laughing from the very fact and from the posing of the question. If everything has already been decided in Bulgaria, they have abandoned Russian gas and even found a more profitable option on the side - why discuss with the European Commission the issue of paying for Russian gas in rubles? |

A true testament to the effectiveness of drinking children's blood perhaps. Or at least having the blood of millions of 'useless eaters' on your hands.
In Russia, in permafrost conditions, for these purposes, old people usually prefer to take baths from the menstrual blood of virgins. And those who are younger just drink vodka with Nutella, and then go to the gypsies to dance with bears to the accompaniment of a balalaika around a trophy street lamp. ps Svetlodarsk taken. |

I apologize for interfering in your dialogue, I will clarify a little. I agree that WAR is a consequence of the failure of diplomatic efforts, negotiations. War ... This is when the army fights against the army, with the aim of either making some decisions, or changing power by force / military means, or resolving territorial disputes. But our situation is different. This is an attempt to DESTROY the country, people, culture. Massacres, and sadistic ones, are not war. This is fascism and terrorism. Deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure is fascism and terrorism. The systematic, purposeful, total destruction of civilian cities is fascism and terrorism. The purposeful destruction of a nation, its culture, history, language is genocide, fascism and terrorism. According to your logic, it turns out that - the mass, purposeful, murder of Jews by Nazi Germany, is it just "not agreed"? No, this is called genocide and fascism! In our reality, genocide as a consequence of terrorism and rashism. Let's be honest about the situation!
I would rather agree to call Kyiv's policy towards the Russian-speaking population of Donbass a genocide than Russia's actions towards Ukraine. Calls to be honest should come from an honest person, and your brain is clouded by propaganda and it seems you perceive the projections of your internal complexes as reality. The easiest way is to shift from a sick head to a healthy one, but this will not cure a sick head. The operation in Ukraine will continue until Russia fully achieves its goals, be patient. |

Kissinger is already 99 years old, but his mind is clear. This is all the more surprising against the background of the hysterical fits of many European politicians, who seem to have completely lost the ability to realistically assess the situation and only chaotically express contradictory populist slogans. I do not think that their voters will put up with this state of affairs for a long time. |

Remember Stalingrad?
Sure, there are differences, but in essence the (original) nazis were led into exhaust.
And yes, you need an advantage between 4:1 to 10:1 in equipment to attack and hold a region, but this isn't everything. You need skilled personell, motivated and healthy soldiers, experienced commanders and, most important, steady supply. Who cares about 20 times more in weapons when it's a question of time to see them transformed into a rusty pile of metal?
It's also starting to boil inside Russia, more and more people don't want to get poor and lose their sons MIA because of this war.
Victory?
I think it is still somewhat premature to talk about the victory of Russia. But even Gordon recently said that "to date, Ukraine has completely lost the Kherson region, partly the territory of the Kharkiv region, most of the territory of the Zaporozhye region, significant territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In this regard, to say that today we are something received, you can't. Of course, Putin received a lot". Ukraine has no chance against Russia and never had. Even with general mobilization and unprecedented support from the West, Ukraine is losing to Russia's peacetime armies. If you think otherwise, stop taking hard drugs during daylight hours. |

So basically the ukrainian army is retreating to shorten their supply paths, while lenghtening the russian ones. You may call it "intentionally falling apart". Of course, state controlled media of Russia will exploit this as a victory, while also announcing that Russia has already destroyed 150% of western heavy artillery supplies and 200% of ukrainian nazi ammunition. As a proof, they will use embedded reporting to show artillery projectiles with laser engraved swastikas. #meh While the Ukraine is evidently backed by western intelligence, Russia's moves are obviously backed by russian... uhm.. "intelligence". Looking forward to July, when all the new western supplied weaponry is moving against them BTG's in the liberalized occupied areas in east of Ukraine. All the russian weapons and vehicles built after WW2 were produced to be used, so be it. We'll see if high precision weapons will give an advantage over "high precision" weapons, unless the former will be destroyed at a rate of several hundred percent, while being delivered in direction of the frontlines. Nasdrovje?  What is this if not a victory? According to Zelensky, Russia has 20 times more equipment in Donbas than Ukrainians. |

I strongly agree with you that war is not solution of any problem but further aggravates the situation. This war has already created economic problems all over the over the world, fuel $ prices are sky high, inflation is historically high and developing countries like Srilanka are defaulting and many more will fall in the same crisis if this war is not stopped. If Russia is not not using its full force or deadly weapons , it means Putin doesn't want massive killing of human in its neighborhood.
The reality is that armed conflicts regularly occur in the world. War means not being able to solve the problem through diplomacy, but that doesn't mean that war doesn't solve anything. As an extreme method, force pressure can be very effective. And in the context of the financial crisis provoked by the pandemic and extensive quantitative easing programs, war is a good method of solving economic problems. The policy of pacifism and non-resistance to evil in practice only leads to the prosperity of evil. I'm sorry when innocent people die and suffer, life is sometimes very unfair. But there are things that cannot be tolerated and there are things that are worth dying for - even if these things are not physically things. |

Well, on the topic - tell us, what, from your point of view, are the results of the last week, on the topic "freezing Germany", "there is no alternative to Russian gas", "everyone will buy gas for rubles and nothing else", on the topic of the topic? PS Only with links to sources, ok? And what to say, look at the ruble exchange rate and you will understand everything yourself. The Central Bank of Russia seems to have to take emergency measures against the excessive strengthening of the ruble, because it is already becoming unprofitable for the export-oriented economy. Germany is committing economic suicide, but it looks like it has no other choice. I have already said before and I will repeat now - Europe in this situation is a trophy and a victim. The USA, Russia, India and China make good money on the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, while Europe only loses. |

Amazing how a war in not biggest and leading country lead to an economical crisis. Amazing how war tactics did not improve in centuries. As in the past armies used exhaustion tactics to conquer castles and countries, as same happens now.
We have increased food prices. Later we will have what - a wheat war? In 21st century? Slowly turning into barbarians... What is going to be after supplies of wheat comes to an end? Which next recourse will be on the brink of extinction?
These are the unwanted fruits of globalization. Relations between different countries are so intricately intertwined that a local conflict can lead to disproportionate global consequences. And the global shortage of some important product by just a few percent can lead to a multiple explosive increase in prices in an industry that is highly dependent on this product in the production chain. So the threat of a shortage of wheat and sunflower oil can provoke a massive food crisis, and for example, a reduction in the supply of purified neon can cause a global crisis in the semiconductor industry. There is nothing to say about oil and gas. |

How long Putin can continue this nonsense war?!
Putin can continue this war until Russia runs out of war material. Then Putin will use his nukes to ignite WW4... the cold war having been WW3.
I think eventually he’ll face enough internal pressure to stop this war. It hasn’t gone well for him and his people are suffering. Plus, there are rumors of his health being an issue. I don’t think his successor will want to continue this if Putin was unable to continue leading his country. Who knows when that is, but we’ve got to be getting close. People in Russia are generally smart enough to understand a simple thing - the only chance for Russia is the complete success of the operation in Ukraine with the achievement of all stated goals. History is written by the winners, not the losers. And the stronger the external pressure from the West, the more loyal the Russians are to the current government. Therefore, I would not count on the growth of internal pressure on Putin. |

Thanks to Patrick Lancaster there does exist footage of the Chechen SF in action, and they are somewhat impressive. Decades of hard won experience behind most/all of their commanders and obvious high morale among the fighters. Well equipped for modern combat as well. That's a pretty tough combination to go up against.
I met early reviews of the DPR militias about the Chechen special forces at the beginning of the assault on Mariupol, they say these crazy people arrived with machine guns and began to conduct reconnaissance in combat. They were quickly taught how to use reconnaissance drones, and Kadyrov paid for and delivered a hundred drones to his special forces within a day. These people really feel like a fish in water in battle, the war is deep in their blood. Initially, the Chechen regiment was planned to be used to clean up and guard checkpoints (according to the regulations, they belong to the Russian Guard - this is a type of police or internal troops), but they turned out to be too good in the assault and they began to be actively used in the hottest areas on the front line. They seem to be very happy about it. |
