The last time the Russians let the west come close to them they lost 25 million people so their anger at the Nato expansion against them is very much well founded

genericnick posted:Did EU/German regulators let NorthStream2 turn on already? I'd assumed the minimal deliveries were to expedite that process. Or Russia is getting hosed by the rona to the extent that the gas industry has worker shortages, but I don't know how that would work. Naively I'd imagine if you can pump some gas you can pump normal quantities of gas. As of last week the regulators still aren't letting it turn on, and in the context of the new Ukraine crisis some EU leaders (Poland and maybe others) are asking the new German government to never turn it on as a blow against Russia.

The ng price hike this fall/winter came with the worst timing for any pushback against Nord Stream 2 though. German populace couldn't care less about geopolitical grandstanding when their cost of living very noticeably went up, which is also why the government is pretty reluctant to join US aggression so far. The regulatory issues are just formalities about the letter of the law and short of Russia invading against all odds it will be turned on eventually.

I remember in like December 2016 Maddow had an entire show dedicated to Obama was deploying [more?] troops in Norway and Poland just before he left office and she was implying that this was a dare to Trump, that if he pulled them out that he was admitting he was a Putin puppet

It's a great reminder of how important history is. If not for their national history defining the Polish nation as heroic victims of Russian aggression, the current right-wing government in Poland would probably see Putin's Russia as a natural ally on political and cultural issues.

quote:The legislation would send $500 million from the Foreign Military Financing program to Ukraine for 2022. That amount would have made Ukraine the third-largest recipient of funding from the State Department’s FMF account in 2020, surpassed only by $3.3 billion to Israel and $1.3 billion to Egypt. (That year, the FMF program gave Ukraine $248 million.)

The gasprice and NS2 not going online is not only affecting germans. The eu has a shared energy market which means I got a electricity bill that was 5 times higher than this time last year even though Im in sweden and we have almost zero gasheating. No gas means electricity price goes up and cheap wind and nuclear gets sold to central europe. So most europeans wants the gas turned on, except poland who is making a killing selling coalpower to the rest of europe.

Historically Poland would've been a perfect anti-Soviet ally since they were just as paranoid about Judeo-Bolshevism at the time, but the Nazis had to have their race thing.
