"Kill the Russians, even if it costs an ear!"
Europe closes the natural gas valve.
The EU has just successfully resisted Trump's "provocation" regarding Greenland.
What's next? Consolidate the economy? Solve the immigration crisis? No!
According to Reuters on January 26, the EU Council officially approved a ban on Russian natural gas on that day, which will completely prohibit the import of Russian liquefied natural gas from January 1, 2027, and completely prohibit the import of Russian pipeline natural gas from September 30, 2027.
The ban was agreed upon by the majority of EU countries, with only Hungary and Slovakia opposing it.
The intention is clear: to reduce Russia's fiscal revenue - the profit from supplying natural gas to China and India is far less than supplying it to Europe.
This is a typical example: "kill the enemy, even if it costs an ear."
Europe now has only one remaining source of natural gas - US liquefied natural gas.
But there's a problem: what if we have another conflict with Trump tomorrow?
What if he really wants to buy Greenland, then Iceland, and then some other "-landia"?
Europe may run out of gas completely.
Even if it doesn't come to that, the "democratic" natural gas prices from across the ocean will be outrageously high, and at that point, it will no longer be possible to blame everything on Putin.
The most interesting thing is: who is Ursula von der Leyen acting as an agent for?
Europe's rapid and efficient self-destruction of its future indicates that this lady is clearly working for the EU's geopolitical rivals.
