1.American shit liquid gas is unprofitable below 1k/1000m3
2.Average gas price was far below that
3.They baited Russia with fake labs/Ukraine offensive
4.Russia lashed out
5.Nordstream 2 cancelled
6.Europe is signing 50 billion m3 of gas per year deal with USA ~ 200-250 billion/year deal
TLDR it was about fossil fuels, it remained about fossil fuels
> Its about gas stupid
You're right
why wouldnt they just take the whole thing though?
I lol about both sides argument.
The whole ordeal is about 300-500 billion/year gas racket.
They don't want to share a border with NATO, my guess. Western Ukraine is the bastion of bandera fanatics and economically the weakest zone in Europe, so it would be a liability for the EU.
Did you not read the OP.
You are going to buy +3k$/1k m3 American gas forever instead of 800$ Russian gas
Indeed
What said. Russia's military always has terrible morale and this is encouraged by Putin's administration, so they can only be direct with tank battles while the only thing Russia can reliably do is artillery.
They need a range they can prepare to drumfire in the event of a war with NATO before using tanks as a counter-offensive.
That's the stupid reason for the mases.
I'm sure they would have if they could. It's too late now, the West has lost it's patience.
Yeah, I know, I said before the war that this Ukraine shit is all about NS2
>always has terrible morale
This war proved the opposite though
Murican and Anglo scums worst fear is Russo-German axis.
> Russo-German axis
It's their primordial fear since the Cold War and not aligned to the atlanticist ethos.
What would you get if you cross bread a Slav and a German?
Also Russia has resourced while Germany has industry, a match made in heaven
lolzorkazors at you guys arm-chair generaling.
fuck off boomer
its never not about money, why would this time be any different
Ah yeah, member of a largest country no one gives a fuck about.
I wonder why you were not made a part of US by 1900s
The entire war is an Esau gambit and mass ritual sacrifice of goyim on both sides calling each other nazis and guilt tripping each other over the Holocaust.
Notice how the Holodomor still takes the back seat even when the discource concerns a war in the literal country it happened in.
>Slav and a German
It already existed, it was called Prussia.
Hey, take it easy.
