Hehe option 2 is a suicide mission

Then they will have two options
1. Either watch their citizens freeze to death next winter and their countries turned into a war front by riots OR....
2. Invade Russia and take the gas by force.

Russia will simply turn off the "tap"

Gas isn't free and just like any business, the seller has an advantage especially when the buyer has no alternative.

Russian gas is stupid cheap, American gas isn't.
Please why can't USA sell cheap gas like russia? Why is Russia gas the cheapest everywhere

This is a business opportunity for any country willing to risk it.
Act as an intermediary between Russia and the "unfriendly" nations. Collect euros from them, pay Russia in Rubies and keep the profit.

Not viable. Why would they need to pay a middle-man when they can simply source for Rubles? Long term effects? Not really EU problem, more like a U.S.A problem.

You guys have said it all... if the gas stops flowing, Europe's economy (including that of Russia) would take an unprecedented fall. Citizens across Europe will surge into the streets demanding their leaders stop playing politics with people's lives.

Yep. I feel like Russia knew they had Europe by the balls before being so bold to invade a sovereign nation. They knew it would come to sanctions and they knew the gas would give them a political and economic edge...

Some countries have openly said they won't boycott Russian gas, why? Cos they have no other option... If they did, they would have long boycotted Russia's gas.

Nope remove Russia. They will sell very little for far greater profit than before because very soon it will be a matter of life and death to get the gas.

It is simple Capitalism that Putin learned during all his years as a soviet emissary to liberate Africans as a way of crippling the West Economy.

As for the protests in Europe, it started last week. Infact it is a riot but media houses are suppressing the news

This is a classical evidence that the past 7 years under APC and 16 years under PDP has been a waste. This would have been our opportunity to swoop in on this situation but our leaders are so focused on nonsense and thier self imposed madness.

The same set of recycled leaders are still going about telling citizens to vote them in the coming election when up till now, we still dont have refinery capable of meeting our daily oil product needs in a day.

Russia will cut them off. The US is already making plans to step in and getting other countries to do same. The problem is they have the amount but not the delivery infrastructure which will take a longgggg time to set up. Meanwhile ..... Russia will divert supplies to the ever thirsty China and Nigeria will be instructed to increase supply to Europe....or else?

Where exactly do you think Europe hope to get alternatives from?

My dear don't allow ignorance take the lead on you. Venezuela is seriously arming themselves up. Saudi is looking for cooperation with China incase.

You don't get it. If these Imperialists don't find alternative before December, they will lose their sanity and look for where they will get alternative by force even if it means reintroducing what they did in 17/18th century.

Civilization is just a lie to hide the fact that they (West) get what they want unchallenged. Always remember that slavery was not abolished because they felt guilty but because of mechanisation and need to force their people to buy the machines.

[quote author=Uptownerd post=111493704][/quote]If they don’t want to pay in Rubles they should boycott the use of Russia Natural gas and see how their citizens will suffer, those of you thinking it can be replaced, it’s not like going to the filling station with your car or jerrycan to fill in gas or fuel, there has to be a project sighted in place to control the gas flow terminal to each EU states, replacing it can take up to five years to put such projects in place for now they’re stuck with Russia

Two answers.
1. Pride
2. Don't want to offend the USA.
Like one guy mentioned above, there is a third option of humbling themselves and doing as you have rightly suggested.

russia has a abandant of oil and gas

The USA has great amount but not to be compared with the russians

Russia has already made pipeline taking oil from Wells directly to western europe

USA will have to ship it

The cost of shipping is not only expensive but disastrous due to possible spills
And just few tankers exist in the world for transporting such with russian having some of the largest
Another reason would be when u have enough u introduce discount
I will rather sell 10 for 100$ each

Than to sell 2 ,for 150 each
Cux if they sell at the same price as the arabian

It wont be so attractive

And guess what european love cheap gas

Macron increase energy price in 2018
Watch how millions protested " yellow vest movement"

USA fought and killed many head of states that tried to change from Petrol-Dollar for the past 50 years but in just 3 weeks Biden destroyed that dream by banned Russia from access Dollars.

Hungary PM said Solidarity with Ukraine will not heat or put food on the table for Hungarians, with or without EU, Hungary need gas and no country can provide it for them except Russia.

Russia and China have been looking for way out of Dollar as way of doing businesses but it was hard for them, now they don’t even have to worry about it again.

When we will have United Africa leaders that will do things like this, we can’t be selling our resources Dollars or Euros or Pounds.
We need our own money here, we even if it’s west Africa currency or maybe we should all option for Naira grin or Cedi because CFA is a big NO, France control that money.
We need vision leaders here

Russia pumps it's gas through pipelines to Europe .it removes all kinds of costs thereby making it cheap.
Also because of the cost of production of Russia gas(it cannot be beaten to it by any gas producing nation)


Us gas mostly will be shipped(guess how much that will cost)

They(EU and NATO) have no choice. Russia's next move will definitely be to apply discounts to their oil and gas. Add to that the sheer cost of infrastructure over-haul and we see that the Qatar pipe dream is just that. A pipe dream.

west Africa tried with a single currency called Eco. they tried implementing it January last year, but France didn't allow it, because they said they colonized many countries in West Africa, they are speaking French and are using CFa.
