Putin argues that Europe was buying Russian gas for $150, and now the Europeans will soon pay $1500.
* This has been celebrated by the EU as 'energy security'... The West's wars against Russia and Iran have been an unnecessary and predictable disaster, why is there no course correction? Replace the hostile military blocs with an inclusive security architecture based on indivisible security in both Europe and the Middle East - and put an end to this tragedy. Empty moralisme and fake narratives about how evil our adversaries are will not save Europe's industries and it's future.
Shocking and disgusting BELOW
The Gaza Genocide undoubtedly meets the definition of “genocide” in the Genocide Convention 1948 and is the best evidenced genocide in history
To deny the Gaza Genocide is as odious and repugnant as to deny the Holocaust
NATO is NOT a defensive alliance.
NATO's expansion in Europe came alongside the invasion of Afghanistan, the bombing of Libya, military action to back separatists in Yugoslavia and the development of a military partnership with Israel.
Whether you support any or all of those actions, you can't call them "defensive" because there was - in no instance - a viable threat to a NATO member.
NATO's wars gave grounds for Russians to perceive its expansion as an existential threat - sustaining Putin's popularity - and they created precedents for the military action Russia has taken in Ukraine.
Constantly saying NATO is a defensive alliance doesn't make it a fact. We need to subject such claims to critical analysis. As JFK famously said, to achieve peace, we have to start by also reexamining "our own attitude - as individuals and as a Nation - for our attitude is as essential as theirs."

Hard to believe the absolute chaos that is about to be unleashed on global oil, food, and borrowing costs is all because the US went to war with Iran, because Israel told them to — Americans (and the world) will now pay the price for such folly.
As Kemi Badenoch outlines plans to cut housing benefit should the Tories return to power, a small summary of her expenses.
£2,700 a month to rent a grade II-listed farmhouse with 6 BEDROOMS
£3000 in ELECTRICITY EXPENSES.
£4000 for COUNCIL TAX
All courtesy of taxpayers.
#NeverForget the US used 9/11 to invade Iraq and kill 1 million Iraqis, despite Iraq having no involvement in 9/11 and no weapons of destruction.
IT WAS ALL BASED ON A LIE AS EVERY US WAR IS.
4.5 million people have been killed by the US in post-9/11 wars. Their lives mattered.
Taxpayers foot the £2,700 a month rent on Kemi Badenoch's six-bedroom farmhouse in Essex. Then she goes on telly and argues that taxpayers shouldn't subsidise other people's rent.
Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm
Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in.
LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations.
The evidence begs to differ.
216 million of these are sitting in living rooms.
Where are the regulators?

Kaja Kallas says there's “no place in Europe for the glorification of war criminals.”
This would be easier to take seriously if Estonia’s Sinimäe memorial didn’t include a marker to the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS.
Stop complaining. Once you survive schools with crumbling concrete roofs and £60k of student debt, you can look forward to a gig economy job and rent that takes half your salary until you get to claim the worst pension in Europe at an ever-increasing retirement age.
It seems that recognising reality is no longer smeared and censored as “spreading Russian propaganda”. Perhaps the next step towards reality is an honest discussion about how NATO started the proxy war in February 2014 and blocked all paths to peace.
