@clashreport No, Germany cannot unilaterally start importing Russian energy . Doing so is legally impossible under binding European Union legislation and sanctions.
@Reuters Europe is highly unlikely to ever buy Russian energy at pre-war levels. The European Union has enacted landmark legislation to permanently ban all Russian gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, with complete phase-outs scheduled between late 2026 and 2028.
@MarioNawfal Russian oil and gas is heavily discounted but carries major geopolitical blackmail risks. There is no such thing as " cheap Russian energy": Buying Russian energy directly funds the Kremlin's war machine. 🙅♂️
@clashreport Given demographic changes, Muslims will represent between one third (the most conservative estimate) and one half (the most generous estimate) of the Russian population by around 2050.
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA The Finnish-Russian border is defined by dense boreal forests, deep mud, rocky terrain, and thousands of bogs. Tanks and heavy armored vehicles cannot move freely and would be funneled into tight roads where they are easily ambushed.
@MarioNawfal Russia using nuclear weapons would permanently transform it into a global pariah state, entirely isolating its economy and government from the international system.
