Germany on Thursday activated the second phase of its three-stage gas emergency program, taking it one step closer to rationing supplies to industry — a step that would deliver a huge blow to the manufacturing heart of its economy. German economy minister Robert Habeck said he hoped rationing wouldn’t be necessary to get through the coming winter, but couldn’t rule it out. ”Gas is from now on in short supply in Germany,” he told reporters at a press conference in Berlin. “Even if you don’t feel it yet: We are in a gas crisis” (CNN). Insider: Last week, Gazprom cut gas flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany by 60%. Russia’s state gas company said the move stemmed from the West’s withholding key turbines because of sanctions. But while Europe braces for a difficult winter with measures to reduce energy demand, RBC commodities chief Helima Croft said the US hasn’t taken similar steps when it comes to gasoline and efforts to lower those prices (Insider). |

This was predictable decades ago when they were pushing for Russian oil. They trusted the Russians more than the USA! Now comes the reckoning!
You pay the price for the life you choose....the choices you make! Russia is lead by thugs, has been for a long time, and isn't about to change anytime soon!
