As far as I know, the practice of central heating is not very common in Europe, and each homeowner is forced to solve the issue of heating his home on his own. I hope the European Union will be able to avoid many unnecessary deaths from hypothermia this coming winter. I am Russian, but I would not approve of Putin if he allowed such a humanitarian catastrophe in Europe. No matter how aggressively European politicians behave towards Russia, ordinary Europeans do not deserve a rollback to the Middle Ages for the short-sighted decisions of their leaders.
I would disagree with you here. Russia supplied around 40% of the natural gas to the European Union until 2021. Even of the supplies from Russia get reduced to zero, EU will have the remaining 60%. And probably it will be around 70%-80% taking in to account the increased supplies from USA and Qatar. Whatever shortfall there will be borne by the industries and it will not affect the households. I don't think that the EU politicians will prefer manufacturing and electricity generation over household gas supply. And Russia should be happy if the manufacturing sector in the EU gets negatively impacted. I hope that you are right, and that heavy energy-intensive industry will bear the brunt of the gas shortage in Europe. Unfortunately or fortunately, I know history all too well, in particular the oil crisis in the 1970s. The real decline in oil supplies from the Middle East then amounted to only 7%, the rest were only verbal interventions. And this slight decline caused the worst global economic crisis with empty gas stations and solar panels on the White House. The volatility of gas prices in Europe right now reminds me of the price chart of shitcoins. |

Two dollars per cubic meter of gas at the hub is already very expensive. To heat a medium-sized house in winter with a gas boiler, you need to burn about 500 cubic meters of gas per month. I think many households in Europe will need subsidies to cope with heating and electricity bills.
People are already managing in various ways, and from Germany, which is a kind of landmark within the EU, news is coming about the massive demand for wood-burning stoves. Even in my area, people still widely use this method of heating, which is not so expensive if we consider that 1 cubic meter of wood costs around 50 EUR (in my country). For an average household, 1000 EUR is quite enough to keep them warm all winter, and if the winter happens to be mild, they will certainly not spend it all.
Regarding the supply of gas from the US (LNG), according to the news I have read, it seems that the US will deliver everything promised, and even more if necessary. With all the other sources mentioned (Canada, Qatar, Nigeria...) and if it is possible to really reduce consumption by 15%, the EU will manage to survive until next spring - unless we are hit by some wicked winter, and given that summer is terrible, I wouldn't be surprised if winter was memorable too - misfortune never comes alone.

BTW, I checked the live gas prices from EU, and right now, they are trading at around $2,000 per thousand cubic meters. Two years ago, natural gas was trading at less than $100 per thousand cubic meters.

But I kind of want a 30 day cushion to just stay in my house is I chose to. whether for covid of it there is a new hurricane and no good food source.
In this case, you just need to create an additional buffer at home between your dining table and the supermarket, ideally independent of the electricity supply to the house - some kind of dry, dark, cool place like a pantry. And use the rule "Store what you eat, eat what you stock" to avoid unnecessary headaches with checking the expiration date of stocked products and not throwing some of the expired supplies into the garbage dump. |

The "anti-Russian" propaganda means that, if people move from Mexico to Texas, and there are a ton of people in 2 towns of Texas that came from Mexico, then it means Mexico could occupy those two towns of Texas and take that land? People from Mexico will applaud because they are Mexicans and America would have to give up land because Americans do not live there? That is not an explanation.
Definitely Ukraine had a lot of places with mainly Russian lovers live there, but if they want to they could leave, but not ask for that land to be given up. Do not assume that Russia attacking and killing people would EVER have any logical sense to anyone outside of Russia lovers and Putin devotees, we will never fall for that.
Dude, you seem to know very little about Texas history if you're using it here as an example. The US annexed Texas from Mexico in 1845. |

I don't understand Europe's whining about Gazprom. Of course you don't, since you chose to trust Putin's propaganda instead of fact-checking everything. Of course you don't, since you chose to ignore everybody who tells that Putin uses the gas as a war weapon.But yeah, I don't know why I'm even answering. But at least I won't answer to your friend. Of course, Putin uses gas as a weapon. It would be strange and stupid of him not to use such a powerful lever of pressure on Europe - and he uses it in a brilliant style. Pumping through Nord Stream at 20% of capacity now brings Russia more money than pumping through Nord Stream at 100% six months ago, because the spot gas price is now ten times higher. Europe should learn from Russia how to impose sanctions in order to deliver maximum pain to the opponent and at the same time not harm its own economy. And you thought Russia would silently endure the flows of European shit in its direction? Be patient, it will get worse, much worse. In Europe, the limit of sanctions pressure on Russia has already been exhausted, and Russia has not really even started yet. |

Hi, is that "RF air supremacy"? I think they are looking for you in Berdiansk. Somehow Ukraine is still not understanding that they cannot strike well inside the occupied territory. https://twitter.com/i/status/1551544220846006273But I am wondering now, if the disconnect between Aldolf Putin and his army is happening as I suspect, there will also be a disconnect between when the military is spending and what they can really afford to spend. This calls for tragedy before end of year. The smoke is something thin, the firecracker exploded? When is the counterattack on Kherson? |

Finally, Presidents Putin and Raisi, who need each other, met in Tehran. The terrorists of the Kremlin and Tehran held a meeting in a heartfelt conversation.
A terrorist from Istanbul, representing the interests of NATO, also took an active part in the meeting. |

Keynesian economists argue that macroeconomic outcomes such as recessions or crises that arise due to fluctuations in demand can be mitigated by coordination of the state, if it controls the money supply. For example, if there's a pandemic and we're experiencing high levels of unemployment, the state can just create more money, regardless of the production rate, to blunt it. In the same way, they can intervene and, deliberately or not, abuse it. Bitcoin's monetary policy reminds of the Austrian school that focuses on individualism that's, as they say, what causes all economic phenomena. It's the exact opposite of Keynesianism, because it's money whose supply and policy can't be altered by anyone effectively. Is that probably the reason most economists attack it? And, if something happened, and it became the world's main currency, do you believe we'd have to face outcomes similar to the Great Depression of 1929? Please justify your opinion. [ Relevant to: Is democracy an utopia nowadays? ] Keynesianism was born in the throes of the Great Depression and died in the oil crisis of 1973. It cannot be considered a universal panacea, because universal panaceas never die. Is bitcoin a universal panacea? I doubt it, but bitcoin is still alive - and this is its strong advantage over Keynesianism. |

I don't understand Europe's whining about Gazprom. Europe has frozen Russian money (having shown itself to be an unreliable buyer), Europe has already imposed seven packages of sanctions against Russia, Europe has openly declared economic war on Russia, Europe has nationalized Gazprom's underground storage facilities, Europe is cultivating Russophobia and the abolition of Russian culture - so why is Europe complaining about a decrease in supplies gas? Rejoice that at least 20%, not zero. Walk around the market, look for cheaper places. In Nigeria? Good luck. In Africa, former European colonizers are respected and loved. And in general, the plan to replace Russia with the most criminalized country in Africa looks reliable like a Swiss watch. |

China's crude oil imports from Russia soared by 55% from a year earlier to a record level in May, displacing Saudi Arabia as their top supplier. Could China's reason for switching to Russia from the US as a result of closeness of boundaries or is there an ulterior motive?
China's motive could be to reduce its dependence with the United States, and avoid the same situation Germany has with Russia, which is a stupid situation. Germany delivered, and supplied weapons to Ukraine, stepping into a war by proxy, then Germany complains about the low supply of natural gas coming from Russia? It might be a cold winter in Germany if their government continues its war by proxy. Why look for complex motives in depth when there is a simple motive on the surface - the price. China is the most energy-deficient country in the world, its energy demand is huge and greater than that of Germany, so China is interested in any kind of energy resources, especially if they are offered at a good discount. |

I began to notice this by trying to overthrow the regime in Syria to facilitate the laying of gas pipelines from the State of Qatar, and of course Russia stood by this by providing the Syrian regime with the necessary support,
That pipeline was supposed to go from Northern Iraq (in control of separatists) to Turkey and then to Europe. Syria doesn't even come in. Even from Qatar it could go to Iraq then to Turkey then to Europe. Syrian war was a lot more complicated game to destabilize the whole region and Russia wasn't even interested in this conflict for years. Iranians have been in that war from the start fighting against the US backed terrorists. After some time we convinced Russia to provide some air support to help speed up the process of getting rid of terrorists in Syria. Sorry for the offtopic, what kind of aggravation does Israel have towards Iran? Are they seriously threatening to use force? |

And what is the fault of the President of Ukraine Zelensky? Is it that he organized the fight against the aggressor for the independence of his country in his direct duty? Putin's goal is to destroy Ukrainians as a people. Putin said that Ukrainians are actually Russians and there is no Ukrainian people. As I see it, you support Putin's aggression against the Ukrainian people. There is no other conclusion to your post.
Zelensky's fault in sabotaging the Minsk agreements. There was nothing humiliating for Ukraine in them - the inhabitants of Donbass wanted only a little autonomy and the right to speak their native language freely. By sabotaging the Minsk agreements, Zelensky not only dragged Ukraine into an armed conflict with Russia (although he came to power on promises to end the war), but also lost, in addition to Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions (and most likely will also lose Mykolaiv, Kharkiv and Odessa regions). Russian troops entered the territory of Ukraine without any rights. Understanding this, Putin called the Russian soldiers little green men. All Putin's actions are lies. There was no ban on the Russian language in Ukraine. This is Putin's false pretext to bring in the Russian army. Why didn’t he send an army, for example, to Latvia, because there the percentage of Russians was higher than in Ukraine. The thing is that Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania acted smarter, they immediately applied to join NATO, otherwise the little green men would have ended up there under the pretext of infringing on the Russian language. I was in Latvia and Lithuania, I spoke Russian calmly, no one stopped me or threatened me. This is a lie of Putin, however, as in everything. Putin wants to restore the empire within the borders of the USSR, there is no other reason for Russia's aggressive actions. And most importantly, the Russian people, with their great-power outlook, support Putin. The Baltics are next in line for denazification. |

BTW, the UK has signed a treaty with Sweden and Finland of regards to defence. RF would be silly to think EU, UK and US will just stay put.
Don't talk about Sweden and Finland joining NATO as a fait accompli. Ratification in the Turkish Parliament could be a difficult quest, given the reluctance of Finland and Sweden to comply with Turkey's demands for the extradition of the Kurds. |

As the above user suggested if you were able to save dry fruits then it is able to be kept for a longer time period. For example if you're keeping Banana, it'll be wasted within a week. Same if you dry it and keep it on air tight containers it'll last for much longer time period. I don't know will people follow this and all in your country. In my region people used to dry banana and it is mostly exported and gives better revenue for the farmers. The price gets doubled when dried.
Yep, a dehydrator plus a vacuum packaging solves the problem of long-term food storage without dependence on electricity (no need for a refrigerator, just a dark, cool place). Moreover, it is possible to dry not only fruits, but also vegetables and meat in a dehydrator. Powerful industrial dehydrators cost a lot of money, but small home dehydrators are quite affordable. |

I dont prep becpuse i know if i have money i dont give damn what regime what puppet is installed on goverment and what situation in the world i live west london upscale area so i have no worries a lot illuminati members here also so no neeed to worry
You are very naive in this regard. Any catastrophe on a planetary scale, whether man-made or natural, will inevitably be associated with the movement of large amounts of water from the world's oceans - and this is a priority threat direction if you are interested in surviving. Therefore, the islands and coastal regions of the continents are unreliable havens, regardless of their degree of prestige. |
