For those who don't know, energy prices are rising in Europe at unbelievable rates. I mean more than doubling and up to 3 or 4 times as much one month to the next, and are predicted to continue rising. This is because all these countries have been "going green" the last decade and any fossil fuels they get come from Russia. Russia, because of all these countries making the insane decision to heavily sanction the only country they get oil from, has cut off their oil...go figure...
The European governments have stated they will continue "supporting Ukraine" even if it means the people suffer. Russia has now said they will keep oil shut off until the sanctions end. I follow UK news pretty closely, but all their solutions are price caps...but if oil costs what it costs, and the energy companies aren't getting paid to pay their own bills, the energy companies go bust, then no energy. But if people can't pay their bills, then they also get no energy, and if enough people can't pay their bills the the energy companies still go bust.
And it's not like the Europeans countries can just start their own oil industry overnight...the fastest that could be done is multiple years...this winter is a few months away.
What I'm getting at is the simple, obvious fact that the only solution is ending sanctions on Russia. But will (((European leaders))) do that, or will they effectively genocide their own people? Well...I think we all know what the aim has been for along time in regards to that. So is this how it finally happens?

This is how it was always going to happen. One day the lights will go out and never come back.
