What-If-Scenario: If Russia stops gas delivery to Germany The German economy would collapse. Inflation will at least double the current levels. Russia has this very leverage. It could use it anytime. But has not done so yet. Since German economy is the biggest in Europe (thanks to cheap Russian gas and other raw materials), then this will have ripple-effects throughout Europe and also worldwide. It could even lead to the break-up of the EU. In many countries uprisings of the poor is to expect due to the high inflation and high food prices, caused by illogical vassal politics (sanctions etc.) of these countries. And the Zelensky clown in Ukraine is demanding exactly this: to stop Germany buying Russian gas & oil. But then the German economy would be devastated. Is this idiot not capable to grasp this simple consequence of his illogical demands? I just wonder why he not simply bombs the Russian pipeline that is going thru his own country. Am I maybe missing a minor detail? Someone surely profits from all such illogical demands. I wonder how rich for example Liz Trussie has become in the last 3 months... Or should one not try to find any logic in this all?
Btw, the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andriy Yaroslavovych Melnyk, has become almost a persona non grata in Germany with his such endless illogical demands of sanctions and requests for heavy weapons from Germany, as well insults and offenses against German president Steinmeyer and chancellor Scholz as well the German public, much like his boss, the clown of Ukraine, Zelensky. I wonder why Germany hasn't shown this idiot ambassador the door yet. The only logic one can possibly find in this all is when these circles have heavily shorted German stocks, and hoping to get rich soon by forcing German economy to collapse by demanding and forcing to stop all imports from Russia.

"Putin Is Set to Halt Gas and Germany Fears It’s Not Coming Back" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...paign=bn&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS Similar situation in France: Russian gas cutoff most likely scenario - French finance minister " Sun, July 10, 2022, 10:45 AM·1 min read AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, July 10 (Reuters) - The French government is preparing for a total cutoff of Russian gas supplies, which it sees as the most likely scenario in its forward planning, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Sunday. With about 17% of its supply coming from Russia, France is less dependent on Russian gas than some of its neighbours, but the government has been preparing contingency plans. A cutoff is particularly problematic now because France's nuclear power generation would struggle to pick up the slack as many reactors are currently down for maintenance. "I think that a total cutoff of Russian gas supplies is a real possibility ... and we need to prepare for this scenario," he said on the sidelines of a business and economics conference in southern France. "It would be totally irresponsible to ignore this scenario," he said. Earlier in the conference he described such a Russian gas cutoff the "most likely scenario". Le Maire said the first line of defence was for households and businesses to cut energy consumption, then the construction of new infrastructure like a floating plant that will be able to regasify liquid natural gas shipments from overseas. More drastically, the government is also looking company by company to see which can be forced to lower production to save energy if necessary, Le Maire said.

The question is: is Germany a sovereign country that decides itself about its own economy, energy security and sources, or do some other pissy nations decide it for Germany? Germany should go its own way regardless what the US hegemon and its puppets like UK and Poland say. Germany and Russia fit very well together: one has the know-how and the other has the resources: a wonderful friendship & cooperation. Without cheap Russian resources Germany is lost, IMO.
The couple times we let Germany go it's own way in the past 100 years or so, decide on its own economy, resource acquisition, and own hegemony --- it didn't go very well. Well... let's just let them do their own thing again... and by the way who is Germany really pissed at right now, and what do they need.... where would they need to send their army to go get it. Hint: it is in the eastern direction.
