Belbek airbase in Crimea..
Not so easy anymore. There are new players and they wont be relinquishing their holds.Nah they will resort to plundering resources in Africa expect some regime change in Algeria, Libya and Nigeria. Things will sour up for Africa. They will be screwed royally by neo colonialist.
Not to forget, falling economies and rising energy price coupled with lack of mass-scale cheap industrial capacity would make building that alternate energy sectors more difficult.Shifting back to some other form of energy is not so simple . It takes time . Minimum half a decade to a decade if everything goes as planned .
not possible. not enough tankers in the world to replace 2 110 billion cubic metres per year pipelines. trying to replace them is like trying to replace a river with a bunch of water trucks.US will not be initially able to fill a Russian supply but give it time and higher prices US will definey be their US replacing Russians in European energy market. Pretty obvious.
True in a sense but not in general. The only road for exiting from Lyman goes through Ukrainian territory.Most Russians left Lyman..
Here is the video of Russian troops making a beeline out of Lyman yesterday..
No Germany doesn't have to pay.As a final kicker, Germany is contractually obligated to purchase at least 40 billion cubic meters of Russian gas a year until 2030. Gazprom is legally entitled to get paid even without shipping gas. That’s the spirit of a long-term contract. Berlin does not get all the gas it needs but still needs to pay. It looks like a long court battle before money will change hands – but Germany’s ability to pay will be steadily weakening.
Imposing sanctions on Belarus and Russia hasn't all but broken the West's back. It just pro-Russian sympathizers want everyone to believe. Yes, Germany is facing problems but these problems will be solved in due time.Just imposing sanctions on Belarus and Russia has all but broken the West's back. If they are foolish enough to cut off their noses to spite their faces and imposes sanctions on us too, the consequences will be far worse for them than it will be for us.
This guy is a loose cannon and has started becoming a liability for Russia/Putin (assuming he is not dancing on Putin's instruction with nuclear sabre rattling).
Kadyrov suggests use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, criticizes Moscow
these problems wont be solved in due time. Because there aint enough gas tankers in the world to replace nordstream 1 & 2.No Germany doesn't have to pay.
Their is a act of god and war clause in the contract.
Their is also a clause regarding sanctions.

As Belarus and Russia they are too small market for US MNC and more luctrative market and interest in west and Asia-Pacific.
