I was just explaining it is not russophobia, but more.Like putinophobia, but this makes it hard not to hate the God-Emperor subjects too.

BTW, it's is not even "russophobia" since there is no democracy, opposition, dissent in Russia, there is authoritarian rule, propaganda, dictatorship.

It is Putinophobia. Putin has been what represents Russia, and he has been for 26+ years, we can't even know what Russia could have been.

My country predates even the swamps that became Muscovy.

Yet we were russified for 45 years and we still can't get rid of the damage they've done.

And you dare a use me of being "cultural racist"?

Russians don't even have a word for "ethnic Russian". Russia is an empire.

My name is Nikolai, not the Bulgarian Nikola. My mother's name is Natalia. Both of us were named this way because those were names from a limited list of available names. We were also was OBLIGED to learn Russian since 4th grade.

Putin didn't "adhere to Minsk agreements", he claimed he is no side in them and the sides he represented broke them immediately or even didn't recognize their effect.

You are regurgitating Russian propaganda crap.

Sure, dumb, whatever 4ussian TV says.

Putin explained what they want back in hi Munich speech some 15+ years ago. Dudaev said what they want back in 1994.

We don't care what they want.

We don't want to do business with terrorists. Seems we won't even when they pull from Ukraine anyway.

Whataboutisms.

They already took care. Russia is not even a gas station with rockets anymore. It imports fuels. Also about 1.1 million primitives would not ever go to war again.

In 2024 Russia led the corruption index from the bottom with rank of 154.

Cry me a river, dumb troll.

But then not even half of them would have signed for one.

He wanted the land too.

A country with 1/8th of Earth's landmass, beyond underdeveloped, still wants land.

Blah blah. War in Ukraine started in 2014 when Russia sent separatist agents. Girkin and the likes. Or, better, check about Vladimir Antyufeev.

Putin could have issued passports to everyone considering themselves руские, which in theory at best was a minority of about 35%.

Instead he wages a war.

Russia is a shithole empire* that would really like the EU to be dependent on it so we won't be able to act against them.

*The last surviving empire, that is.

Russo phobia is reasonable when you realize they are nothing but rich barbarians.

Where did I deny that?
Russian LNG doesn't have to travel the Atlantic.

And YES, WE DO NOT BUY FROM RUSSIA BECAUSE THEY ARE THE AGRESSOR.

You hate US, I get it, but USA is not waging a war in our doorstep and a hybrid war against us.

The price hike doesn't need explanation, and while Nord stream was intentionally damaged, the Yamal stopped at the time out of spite, citing inability to fix it because of sanctions.

I don't get your implications we should have kept buying Russian gas - with false ruble conversion rates, no less.

Russian LNG in EU is mostly swaps or some of the Kremlin sockpuppets still paying (and suffering the highest inflation in the EU).

The only pipe still fully operational working is the Turkstream through Bulgaria an most of it is for Serbia, they don't have much choice anyway.

Yes, we did,not much choice, and? We are not fueling the war. American gas is from a fully private sector too.

The Covid epidemic was in 2020, with residuals in 2021, and the gas price rose mid to end 2021 because of Russia limiting deliveries.

Again: BEFORE THE WAR.

Nazis be Nazis.

Russia is losing market and China gets about 22% of their gas from Russia, with overall rise of their consumption (38 bcm last year AFAIK), a mix of pipe (easy to damage) and LNG (harder, it's far). But China always had to balance the costs of their gas imports. Make Russia unreliable provider.

Ukraine has been suffering intentional, criminal civilian attacks and attacks on energy infrastructure.

I'm not a military advisor but I think UA oughta attack the Russian electricity networks. Rail networks should be targeted too.

Top priority?
Has networks. Stop the gas for China. Why? ⤵️

Until they have to meet Up with leopard when suddenly it turns out AP rounds cannot be stopped by barbwire.

Sadly, you are right, they have to find a way to blast them with anti-tank mines even if they don't fall hard on the tank due to layers of mesh and what not.

How do they enter/exit?

What did he have in that backpack? 😳

Normal Times in Dire Times Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.

"This is how fascism works. It does not always roar, it whispers. It seeps into the cracks of the ordinary, asking only that you look away from the parts that do not concern you. That you focus on the game, the meal, the errand, and let the rest fade into background noise."

You k ow at.the end you would have to something about him, if he is still alive, and the bunch of sleazy sons he has?

And the "thing" in "something" won't be as peaceful as you wish.

EU is trying to break decades of dependency on and dominance of energy supplies from Russia which put enormous funds in Russia and halted development of any alternative sources (incl. LNG, a it was more expensive).

Now there is a hole in Russian budget.

Cope.

BEFORE THE WAR.

What are you trying to prove? That LNG is more expensive than gas coming through pipes?

Doh!

Yes, it is, Russian LNG is also twice the piped price.

But since there wasn't competitive market due to lack of terminals the price of piped gas wouldn't have been €25.

It's been twice that in 2021.
