I plan to do a video shortly on how Belarus is closely linked to the Russia-Ukraine issue.
Yes, agreed. Have to get the Treaty one out first, hopefully, tomorrow. Then the Ukraine situation one. Still have a little time I think. This is a pivotal moment.
No chance , there is no spare capacity in the world, means and re-allocation wold expect demand
destruction.
Page 10 of PDF (42 by numbering) contain the 2020 data for natural gas export.
And anyway, Russia in the next 5 years will add 100 billion cbm/year LNG export capacity.
Just for reference, the Ukrainan transfer is around 60 billio, the nord stream II has 55 billion capacity.
Say in 5 years time Russia will be in a fully felxible position regards of whom he will sell her gas.
So, the LNG terminals build in Europe will only increase the Russian export capacity, and makes the Ukrainan/Polish transfer routes redundant.
Defending democracy and freedom in Ukraine!
Wait, cash registers aren't mandatory everywhere else?.
In my country, it is a requirement if you want to operate any kind of shop bigger than a kiosk or hole-in-wall type of stuff.
By Dr. Evelyn N. Farkas
If Putin is not deterred from seizing another chunk of sovereign territory, he won’t stop there.
President Vladimir Putin is more likely than not to invade Ukraine again in the coming weeks. As someone who helped President Barack Obama manage the U.S. and international response to Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014, and our effort to keep Moscow from occupying the whole country into 2015, I am distressingly convinced of it.
Why? I see the scale and type of force by the Russian military, the issued by Putin and his officials, the warlike rhetoric that Russian airwaves, and the impatience with talks by his foreign minister. Add to that the likely anxiety produced in Putin by the demonstrations last week in Kazakhstan—and Moscow’s in tamping them down.
But the basic reason I think talks with Russia will fail is that the United States and its allies have nothing they can immediately offer Moscow in exchange for a de-escalation.
The United States must do more than issue ultimatums about sanctions and economic penalties. U.S. leaders should be marshalling an international coalition of the willing, readying military forces to deter Putin and, if necessary, prepare for war.
If Russia prevails again, we will remain stuck in a crisis not just over Ukraine but about the future of the global order far beyond that country’s borders. Left unrestrained, Putin will move swiftly, grab some land, consolidate his gains, and set his sights on the next satellite state in his long game to restore all the pre-1991 borders: the sphere of geographical influence he deems was unjustly stripped from Great Russia.
The world will watch our response. Any subsequent acceptance of Russian gains will spell the beginning of the end of the international order. If Europe, NATO, and its allies in Asia and elsewhere fail to defend the foundational United Nations principles of and state sovereignty, no one will. Any appeasement will only beget future land grabs not only from Putin, but also from China in Taiwan and elsewhere. And if the world’s democracies lack the political will to stop them, the rules-based international order will collapse. The United Nations will go the way of the League of Nations. We will revert to spheres of global influence, unbridled military and economic competition, and ultimately, world war.
