Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

[MadImmortalMan]

Whatever our problems in the US, thank God we're not dependent upon Gazprom.

The French are one of the few European nations who are not right?  With all of their nukes.

I wouldn't really say few.

Percent of gas consumption that comes from Russia:

     Estonia 100%
     Finland 100%
     Latvia 100%
     Lithuania 100%
     Slovakia 98%
     Bulgaria 92%
     Czech Republic 77.6%
     Greece 76%
     Hungary 60%
     Slovenia 52%
     Austria 49%
     Poland 48.15%
     Croatia 37%
     Germany 36%
     Italy 27%
     Romania 27%
     France 14%
     Belgium 5%

     Republic of Macedonia 100%
     Belarus 98%
     Serbia,  Montenegro 87%
     Ukraine 66%
     Turkey 64%
     Switzerland 12%




So, west of Germany not so much. No Netherlands, UK, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Sweden, Norway on the list at all. They have the iron curtain locked down though.

I read that Germany could actually buy its gas elsewhere if necessary, but there is no way that all of Central Europe could do that. Just imagine the outcry in the other countries if Germany would start buying its gas elsewhere and leave Poland etc. hanging.

I better never tell Marti I'm 25% French.

The monkey part?

[mongers]

I'm thinking of retitling the thread, so shall I remove the "-", add a "15", add some other higher 'teen' ,  insert "infinity" or still leave it open ended ?

[derspiess]

Yes.

[Admiral Yi]

No.

Way to go Speesh.

"Teen Infinity" would be a good name for a youth oriented clothing shop; maybe one that catered to "Twilight's" sparkly vampires

It will be over by Christmas!

It's yours, my belated wedding gift, you and CB could have a radical career change, make a fortune out of bad-taste Florida teens.

The real question is, which Christmas?

I'm not good at flinging poo.

Thanks, I'll use it in a short story, if nothing else.

Just booked a flight to Moscow in early October today. Will be interesting to see how average Russians see the whole conflict. Not sure if I should broach that topic though as it is a business trip.

Why would a German be flying to Moscow on a "business trip" at this time? 

Poland is not going to partition itself.

I'll be in Poland in October.
I've already had to cancel holidays to Libya and Syria.
