UPDATE:
As Oui points out in the comments, this is actually old news involving the cancellation of the South Stream pipeline and its affects on Europe. The seemingly new angle mentioned was that the cutoff of gas going through Ukraine was happening NOW. This has not been verified and is probably inaccurate. My apologies for the inference and overreaction. However, Russia has curtailed gas exports through Ukraine twice beforehand for Ukraine siphoning off gas going further on to Europe. The chances of that action happening again and/or Ukraine not being able to pay for its gas and having supplies cut this winter are still very high.
Those out of control dark forces of the Western countries (aka The Powers That Be), led by the deep state here in the US with the other “five eyes” and their vassal states, have evidently pushed the Bear a little too far, it seems.
From Zero Hedge, reporting from the Guardian and Bloomberg,…..
Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian state energy giant Gazprom to cut supplies to and through Ukraine amid accusations, according to The Daily Mail, that its neighbor has been siphoning off and stealing Russian gas. Due to these “transit risks for European consumers in the territory of Ukraine,” Gazprom cut gas exports to Europe by 60%, plunging the continent into an energy crisis “within hours.” Perhaps explaining the explosion higher in NatGas prices (and oil) today, gas companies in Ukraine confirmed that Russia had cut off supply; and six countries reported a complete shut-off of Russian gas. The EU raged that the sudden cut-off to some of its member countries was “completely unacceptable,” but Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller later added that Russia plans to shift all its natural gas flows crossing Ukraine to a route via Turkey; and Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak stated unequivocally, “the decision has been made.”
The Saker comments…..
Let’s see now how the infinitely corrupt, arrogant, criminally irresponsible European elites will cope with an agriculture choking in useless surplus stocks, a society waging ideological war on 1.6 billion Muslims, and now with no energy.
Dimitry Orlov recently posted an interesting discussion of Russian character that has just gained significant weight……
Peculiarities of Russian National Character
Folks, shit just got real serious. Distractions with false flags won’t heat your homes, Europeans. How much longer can you follow the lead of the greedheaded energies calling the shots here in the US?
And they arrest Dieudonne!
