View Full Version : If Russia Cut Off Gas to Europe...
...would Soonet even care?
"EU states cut off for days from Russian gas in freezing temperatures pleaded with Moscow and Kiev on Wednesday to end wrangling which has stalled a deal to restore fuel supplies.
European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso called the crisis "unacceptable and incredible" and said the EU executive would advise the bloc's firms to sue Russian and Ukrainian energy companies unless gas supplies were restored quickly."

As I said, this issue has been resolved.
"A deal brokered by the EU, which gets a quarter of its gas from Russia, was supposed to get supplies moving on Tuesday [yesterday], with international monitors in place to ensure that Ukraine was not siphoning off any gas, as Moscow has alleged.
Russia began pumping gas meant for Europe via Ukraine on Tuesday [yesterday] but the EU said little or none was flowing yet to countries downstream suffering urgent energy shortages"
Better luck next time, buddy ;)
Even if it was settled on the 10th (which it wasn't), why no criticism of Russia still?
Why can Russia get a pass on something like this, but the U.S. gets condemned for torturing a terrorist?
