Russian THREAT to other Western consumers of Russian Gas - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.51pm post the following, " Russia warns it may cut natural gas supplies to other EU countries....Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has warned that other European Union customers may be cut off from Russian natural gas supplies if they refuse to pay in roubles.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a BLUFF by Moscow, no money and they cannot carry on with the WAR in the Ukraine.  Will they really cut off Germany, one has doubts, the Germans would find someone else to give them the gas and make sure they cannot be blackmailed by the Russians.  The West as a whole, should decide to CUT ALL GAS from Moscow, this would end the WAR in the Ukraine faster than any military supplies and force Moscow to peace talks.  If the West, well Europe can find other suppliers the Russia would find itself BROKE in a matter of weeks or months.  Putin wants to switch the Russia view to Asia, does China really want to get involved in the Ukraine War and cause sanctions to be placed on itself, one hopes China is to SMART to do that. So Putin bring your best game, the West will out last you and your regime. 

Moldova Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " Russia ready to use Transnistria to move on Moldova or Ukraine, Ukrainian official says....Ukraine's deputy defence minister has claimed Russia will use the Moldovan breakaway region of Transnistria to launch a further attack on Ukraine or on Moldova.  "

Lets Get Real:

What the Russians really want is to change the political outlook of the WAR in the Ukraine, they want to return to the old system, when the US and the USSR would deal with any problem and the outside world looked on, one assumes that Putin thinks he can bully a weak Biden, that Biden cannot take the pressure of a WAR that could last for months, also the Kremlin wants to bring in other STATES, thus the concern as stated by the Kremlin about the safety of Russian speakers in Moldova, the Russians have 1,500 troops there already, they could launch a false flag operation, recent incidents suggest that is what the Kremlin is looking for, the Kremlin wants the whole of the East and Southern Ukraine and Moldova.  The Moldova Government is weak, the West should consider a security guarantee for Moldova as way to warn Kremlin off any attack.

Russia CUTS off Gas to Europe - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.16pm post the following, " Russian energy supplier Gazprom has cut gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, saying it was because both countries had refused to make payments in roubles. Russia said it would do the same with other "unfriendly" countries  "

Lets Get Real:

The EU needs to pull its finger out and support Poland and Bulgaria, what is the point of being part of the EU if the rest of the EU does not come to support of States that are following EU rules, one assumes the Russian picked on Poland and Bulgaria as an example to Germany, the Berlin Government has gotten off the dime and is NOW giving Tanks to Ukraine, thus this cut off gas to Poland and Bulgaria is a message to BERLIN, be careful how far you go, it is pure blackmail.  Thus the EU needs to gets its hand out or storage tanks to get some gas from Countries that are still getting gas from Russia.  If not what is the point of the EU, thank goodness the UK only gets 5% of its gas from the Russians, we and Germany will be the next target of Russia.
