Trump is just unbelievably stupid.

Germany gets about 20-25% of their gas from Russia (and the Stans).. I'm wondering what Russia is going to do with that gas and that very expensive Nordstream2 pipeline. I mean Russia can't eat that gas. Trump doesn't know shit from shinola.

Please provide a reference for you numbers.

I see much higher numbers.

In May 2022, it was 37%

Germany Natural Gas Imports

Natural Gas Imports in Germany decreased to 275090.40 Terajoule in March from 275940.51 Terajoule in February of 2024. This page includes a chart with historical data for Germany Natural Gas Imports.

In 2020, Germany imported over 90% of its natural gas, with the Russian Federation being the largest supplier.

Look at Abe grinning and Trump sitting on his ass. Notice the four that are no longer in office.

How reliant is Germany â and the rest of Europe â on Russian gas?

As Russia reopens Nord Stream pipeline at lower capacity, pressure remains to reduce consumption and dependency on Russia

Covid was kind of convenient for the Progs. Real convenient. Real real convenient.

NO~ONE is hoping for it, just stating what's happening NOW!

You leftist thrive on crisis and calamity, so screw your projection.

CERN is considering shutting down most of its eight particle accelerators, and idling the Large Hadron Collider, in order to conserve power amidst Europe's energy crisis.

Could you imagine this coming to America? It could. Just look at California at the moment, where 2% of the population drives electric cars, but they are told not to charge them in the afternoon because they have shut down their nuclear plants to appease the Green lobby...

Not Even Keeping 1 Nuclear Plant Can Save California From Its Green Energy Nightmare

California lawmakers recently approved legislation to extend the operational life of its last remaining nuclear power plant.

Kinda crazy how green energy only works during the summer.

Europe is in the middle of storing gas...
Every EU country met there target of 60% by Sept 1st except Latvia who were caught out by a swift cut by Russia but they will catch up.
EU target for start of winter is 80%. This will is very achievable and EU is getting countries to share capacity. Republican led Texas could take a tip here.
EU target for next year is 90%.
This should serve them pretty well, as they know they would have enough gas to get them to March 1st at least if there is total ban on Russian gas and low winds...
This is how smart Governmet reacts... Please lets compare this to the Republican led Texas....

Texas is fine. If you don't think so put up a link or two.

CA is a democrat mess. They are having blackouts already and they don't even have millions of EVs charging the power grid.

Europe is NOT fine. Germany just shut down their aluminum smelting plants due to the crazy cost of energy.
As more plants close and people get laid off and can't pay their utility bills what happens?
This winter could be a very tragic story for the EU unless they get more affordable power, and fast.

They're selling it to China and India.

Via pipeline?? I don't know anything about gas pipelines to China or India.

They're selling it to China and India.

...and making tons of money

Russia pockets $24bn from selling energy to China, India

China spent $18.9bn and Russia $5.1bn for Russian oil and gas in just three months following the invasion of Ukraine.

So true.

There is no question about it.

As Missouri_Mike and struth said above, they simply shut off the supply.

The video from the Russian State-owned Gazprom shows it for anyone in doubt.

Thanks. It's under construction, isn't it?
