"The Russian war in Ukraine made Europe rethink its energy strategy, and the European Union has now drafted plans to cut EU demand for Russian gas by two-thirds before the end of 2022 and completely by 2030, to replenish gas stocks for winter and ensure the provision of affordable, secure, and sustainable energy."

The actual deadline is April 1 - Pay in rubles, or the gas is getting cut NOW. Not accepting candy wrappers anymore.

The party is still on in Rio! Thousands flood downtown streets in Brazil for unofficial Carnival celebrations, while the rest of the world protests in solidarity over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"Rest of the world" Yeah, right.

The collective West was so anxious to encircle Russia with NATO military bases that it finally achieved the following.

It is expected that the great China-Russia-Iran-Pakistan alliance will be established with India, favorably disposed towards Russia.

In fact, what the West has achieved over the last 30 years with the neverending incessant pressure to expand its sphere of influence is that, despite Putin's initial interest in cooperating with the West, you de facto left him no choice but to co-operate closely with China.

You have left Russia no choice, so please do not be surprised now that Russia has opted for China.

With the attitude of the collective West for 30 years, there is simply no other choice.

Is really  neverending NATO expansion worth a price of sino-russian alliance?

Tomasz, Correct and spot-on.  It was predictable. 

Personally, I think that all of this is part of a deeper plan globally... to usher in Digital Currencies and further control populations.  The U.S. knows quite well that it is destroying the dollar dominance.  It is like the book 1984, where "we are at war with ______".

[Tomasz + 1,608]

West didn't appear to factor into their rabid desire to impose sanctions on Russia,that they have allowed Russia and Russian companies to default legitimately on all dollar and euro denominated debt.

So where does that leave the creditors? Brain dead is being polite.

Total external debt (the sum of portfolio debt liabilities, other investment liabilities, and the debt of Russian affiliates towards foreign parents in FDI relationships) is at $478 billion, *roughly the size of reserves held in foreign exchange.*

Since when do governments consider investors in times of war. If I were you I would invest in Russian tank, helicopter and airplane manufacturers. In the west you invest in hand held missile launchers. Lol How much money do you have. Tanks are having a problem.

I told you before when Russia was helping Assad and Iran. Europe was getting missiles and troops. Every move Russia makes is countered by the US and has been since WWII. We call it proportional response. Y’all just to busy talking smack to listen. Russian politics is as smart as their Generals. Stuck on a road in Ukraine waiting on a drone.

lol, pakistan, china, and india in an alliance together? not in a million years.

the pakistan/china relationship, along with russia becoming a client state of chinas, is inevitably going to draw India closer to Quad. 

what is india going to do when China demands Russia stop selling arms and advanced defense systems to India? 

The US and India understand this, which is why the US is playing the long game with India: https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/us-sanctions-on-india-for-buying-russian-s-400-missiles-unlikely-122032300516_1.html

 

Keep in mind that it wasn't long ago when India was completely reliant on Russian arms, and it's already gone down a lot:

https://sipri.org/sites/default/files/2021-03/fs_2103_at_2020.pdf

The overall decrease in Russia’s arms exports between 2011–15 and 2016–20 was almost entirely attributable to a 53 per cent drop in its arms exports to India.” This reduction has brought down “its [Russian] share of total Indian arms imports from 70 to 49 per cent.” 

Pretty much every industry in Russia is going to get bled dry except for resource extraction.

Yeap. Last full-year year profit only about  40 bilion dollars from selling NG at historic high price. It looks like bankrupcy IMHO.

$ 100 crude oil for the next few years.

Besides, I say Russia's ally is now China, not the West. And you will continue to buy raw materials because you have no other choice.

Russia has opted for an alliance with China - if someone does not believe it, I recommend meeting Putin Xi Jinping on February 4, 2022.

Yeap there is going to be bifurcation. Chiamerica - global economy of China and America combined is going to be divided between 2 antagonizing  blocks.

Russia is China junior partner so it will trade more with China than the West of course. 

High time for Europe to buy more expensive commodities all over the world. 

Its end of globalization. In near future you will have 2 blocks against each other and probably even 2 internet systems with firewall. 

But I still dont understand why should I worry about my Gazprom shares when there is going to be some real huge dividend in next couple of years.

Last full-year ??? newsflash there is a new game and Russia and Gazprom are the losers......

Who will Gazprom export gas to in 2024?????? No new sales ...just expiring contracts going forward ........No one will trade with Russia in the future....

Enjoy your dividends of zero.... A company that has no sales is worthless....

How did you do at buying more shares in the beginning of Feb??? you bragged about doubling down.....

good luck with that. 

let's look at recent history.

Russia and China just agreed less than two months ago to a new major pipeline, the "Power of Siberia 2" pipeline, on a 30-year deal. Notably, the transactions on that pipeline will be settled in Euros. Not Rubles. Not Yuan. Neither country trusts the other's currency to be sufficiently stable, and this is with a self-described "No Limits" partnership.

There is absolutely no sign of it being specifically in Kiev.  You think you can just safely come in and leave there? All the previous videos he released claiming that he is in Kiev were debunked, so I leave it to the specialists.

So we passed from we will sanction Russia for oil and gas to please let us buy in dollars and euros.

Finally you will pay in roubles because there is no short-time alternative.

There is no sense for Russia to get paid in currency that might be blocked or frozen. Not at all

If you dont want rouble you can paid in  gold. But phisical one not paper one because this can also be blocked.

West for too long get used to sanction small countries that cant take countermeasures. Not this time becuase this time we are talking about world largest commodity exporter.
