Gas: Russland liefert wieder mehr als Amerika – Woher Europas Gas wirklich kommt - WELT
www.welt.de
Mit „Freedom Gas“ wollten die USA die europäischen Verbündeten aus der russischen Energieabhängigkeit befreien. Doch aktuelle Daten zeigen, dass das Putin-Regime seine Position als Energieversorger Europas sogar ausbauen konnte. Auch für den Ukraine-Transit ist eine Verlängerung in Sicht.

    Why is that so? Have the sanctions run out or do we get russian gas from third parties?

        In reality, Europe just imports Russian energy through third parties at a markup. All of a sudden countries like India are importing a lot more energy from Russia, and Europe imports a bunch more energy from India while Europeans pretend they're not dependent on Russian energy. Anybody with a functioning brain can see through this circus. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/europe-bought-russian-oil-via-india-at-record-rates-in-2023-despite-ukraine-war/articleshow/106777423.cms

          The fun part is how this is sabotaging our economy.
          You can't sanction a country if you're depending on importing critical resources from them...

            you evidently can!

            what you have to realize is that these arent materialist sanctions, they're idealist sanctions. which is good news, since the clowns "in charge" of europe are idealists.

            It's true that total consumption of energy in Europe down due to deindustrialization and growing recession because manufacturing in Europe is no longer competitive. However, the breakdown of energy that Europe imports hasn't fundamentally changed. It's not like new sources of energy have magically come into existence in the past two years.
