    I've been maintaining this whole time that war probably won't happen because Russia need to sell its gas to Europe, and Europe needs that gas to heat their homes.

      I’ve been hearing the gas thing is over emphasized, something like 12% of Europe’s power comes from gas and only like a third of that is Russian gas

        True but when you are dealing with the kinda collossal quantities in play there, a third of 12% is a huge amount.
