Campaigners are making urgent calls for an emergency energy tariff following survey results that revealed nearly half of Welsh people fear being cold this winter.
New data from Opinium, commissioned by the Warm This Winter campaign found 47% of people in Wales are worried they will not be able to heat their homes during the cold months.
Across the UK, over half of people from vulnerable households (56%) and nearly two thirds (63%) of people living in a household where someone is suffering from a pre-existing health condition or is disabled are worried about being cold this winter.
the pipeline being destroyed meant that europe and the uk are now reliant on more expensive sources of energy, specifically american sources
My comment was originally aimed at a different comment that has since been removed, that claimed that Nato was sabotaging European power infrastructure.
Which you know, is insanity.
So your timeline of events goes:
-
Joe Biden assures a reporter that "we will be able to stop that" in regards to Nordstream 2
-
The Russian Federation Blows up it's own pipeline for no reason
-
American capital suddenly and accidentally stands to make a shitload of money cannibalizing Europe's energy sector
...but apparently any speculation that two plus two might actually equal four is just mental illness and russian propaganda.
Pure and absolute fantasy. I've no doubt that the US among a number of other sovereign nations have stepped In to profit off the fact that this reduction in power being fed to Europe exists. In that regard there is no accident.
To assume though, that the neo-fascist state that is the Russian Federation wouldn't actively seek to hamper the energy situation in Europe whilst selling oil and petrol through 3rd parties, is short sighted at best, or activity stupid at worst.

which part of this is fantasy?
Having read through the entirety of the second article you linked, It seems the likely perpetrators of the attacks were non-government affiliated Ukrainians.
Do you even read these articles you are using?
Surely the country famous for using proxies would never use proxies, it was all just a ragtag bunch of random Ukranians on a sailboat, nothing to see here.
did you read the first, or are you just incapable of connecting two events?
Lmao they removed my comment that just drew a connection to the pipeline getting blown up.

The Euros and Brits in their "garden" are just now beginning to understand what it actually means to be vassals of their "ally" the US. Most will still find a way to blame it on their go-to mustache-twirling Putler Marvel villain somehow, rather than the leader of the regime who outright and openly said they'd make sure Europe would not be allowed energy independence. Europe is in for some trying times ahead (to put it lightly) and even more so because their countries' imaged "sovereignty" and wealth is going to be siphoned away even more than it already is by the very empire those countries used to only benefit from.
