The West is crumbling under the globalist Great Reset while Russia, China and Iran are increasingly aggressive. Germany is now seeing unexpected runaway inflation because of a reduction in gas supply from Russia. Globalists focused on their misguided green plans, but those plans are now backfiring. Green-pushing Germany is turning to coal to offset the gas crisis stemming from Russia’s gas restriction.
Russia has dropped its gas pipeline supply to Germany by half, while building a massive new pipeline with China.
With the global megashift, other countries are reshuffling for survival as well. Russia is also now expanding the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) — “a 7,200-kilometre (4,474-mile) network of railroads, highways and maritime routes that connects Russia and India through Iran.” India is excited about the project since it allows it to bypass Pakistan. And in June, Iran launched a “pilot transit of goods from Russia to India using the INSTC.”
The worst enemies of America are realigning to strengthen their economies, while Joe Biden compounds his failures and “progressives” remain fixated on transgender issues and how to sink Donald Trump.
Trump was ridiculed at the UN when he warned Germany about its dependence on Russian oil; Germany has now admitted it was wrong.
Even in the face of the mess that Biden continues to make of America, the Leftist hounds are still primarily focused on Trump for whatever role they conjured up — despite evidence to the contrary — that he supposedly played on January 6, 2021. Democrats are doing everything they can to continue the globalist agenda of the Great Reset that would see America destroyed. They are also fully aware of what Trump’s Make America Great Again plan would do to their global Great Reset.
“Germany accuses Russia of ‘power play’ as gas pipeline supply drops by half,” by Philip Oltermann, Guardian, June 27, 2022:
Germany has accused Moscow of engaging in “power play” over energy exports, as Russian state-run Gazprom further throttled gas supplies into Europe.
As announced two days earlier, the energy giant on Wednesday reduced the gas flow through Nord Stream 1 to 33m cubic metres a day – about 20% of the pipeline’s total capacity and half the amount it has been delivering since resuming service last week after 10 days of maintenance work.
According to network data from the gas transfer station in Lubmin, north-east Germany, only about 17m kilowatt hours of gas arrived between 8am and 9am, compared with more than 27m kWh between 6am and 7am.
Meanwhile, the Italian energy major Eni said it had been told by Gazprom it would only receive “approximately 27m cubic metres” of natural gas on Wednesday, down from around 34m cubic metres in recent days.
The Russian gas firm said gas flow was down because one of the last two operating turbines had to be halted due to a “technical condition of the engine” – an argument the German government in strong terms dismissed as a made-up pretext….

Russia is no longer a primary world power: it’s now a vassal state of China. I do hope any successor to Putin would change that for good. Alternatively, if China implodes – the run on their banks – Russia will be left w/o anyone to back them

Bwahaahaa! Your proclamation is ridiculous.
Infidel says
How so? Can Russia exert itself against China should the latter make any claims, including territorial, on Russia? Can Russia decline to be a part of the belt/road initiative, or decline telecom equipment from Huawei or ZTE? In fact, Russia’s closeness to China also potentially risks some of its business relationships w/ India, which now has no illusions about Beijing
Don McKellar says
Just something to think about:
European countries were fools to put their heating and electricity production largely in the hands of an evil foreign dictator. Sooner or later they would be punished for it. And they are.
Now Putin has turned to relying on an evil foreign dictatorship to be customers, while the European countries scramble to try and remove their dependence on him.
Sooner or later, he won’t have a market in Europe, and Putin’s energy export will be in the hands of an evil foreign dictatorship who will pay him whatever they choose. Or not at all.
Nobody wins the game of relying on an evil foreign dictator. Not even evil dictators.
mortimer says
Pres. Donald Trump went to Germany and told the Germans not to become so dependent on Russian energy. They mocked him for it. They are not mocking now.
Westman says
Merkel foolishly shut down nuclear power plants after the Fukushima disaster. There is a lesson here about not letting fear dictate policy.
Wind and solar will never be enough energy for the EU, as is now obvious. Nuclear Energy is the only road that totally leads out of reliance on fossil fuel. Wind and solar will fill the landfills with toxic old panels, wind blades, towers, rusting machinery, cooling/insulating oils, carbon composites, printed circuit boards, and glass/epoxy waste from their short lifespan.
Infidel says
Nuclear power is great, especially if the nuclear plant is already built. Fukushima took the brunt of a massive earthquake plus tsunami, which wasn’t something German plants necessarily risked, but they shut them down anyway. Now German cities like Hamburg are banning hot water b’cos Russia has shut down the spigot
Now under an SDP chancellor, they’re turning back on coal! Big, dirty, coal!
James Lincoln says
Westman,
Yes, nuclear energy definitely has to be in the mix – especially considering a much higher number of future electric vehicles drawing from the power grid.

Spot on, Don.
Dano S. says
What makes Putin evil? You sure have a warped view on things.
Infidel says
Dunno – starting a unilateral war against Ukraine? Having dissidents assassinated? Turning the entire power of his country against Ukraine? Getting military support from thug regimes like Iran and Turkey?
mortimer says
Bumbling after bungling from the 97-lb weakling in the White House. Due to the HIGH GAS PRICES that Senile Old Joe created intentionally, the cost of gasoline rose dramatically. Putin felt secure in invading Ukraine. Lots of cash would flow into Russia!
Now, with the price of oil so high, Russia’s income is GREATER than before the invasion.
Sleepy Joe is the most bumbling of presidents. The bicycle fall is emblematic of his failed presidency.
Sleepy Joe’s ineptitude is the cause of massive, world-wide suffering.

I hate to say it, but it has to be said.
American foreign policy is a disaster.
Who made China what China is now ?
America, that fiendish clever plan by the two idiots Nixon and Kissinger, to turn China against the USSR.
You transferred military and civilian technology over to the CCP.
You shifted your manufacturing over to them.
To this day you have not told American companies to shit out of China or face punitive taxes.
America knew it could not win in Vietnam, the Pentagon Papers.
Yet your leaders carried on fighting.
You supported pakistan against India, supplied her with all sorts of military and civillian aid.
America looked the other way during the Bangladesh genocide “The Blood Telegrams” infact you sailed the 6th or 7th Fleet into the bay of Bengal to intimidate India along with a British fleet in the Arabian sea.
Even when terror attacks unfolded with a clear pak connection, you carried on supporting them.
And how did the paks repay you???
9/11
support for the taliban in Afghanistan
Yet pak is still a “Most Favoured Non-NATO ally.
Where was OBL found?
Still no punitive sanctions against pak.
Nothing.
There was no need to antagonize Russia, non at all. But you did.
You did it by interfering in Ukraine. Remember the Victoria Nuland tapes ?
A child could have told you, that if you alienate Russia, you are going to push her into the arms of China.
You have handed all of Russia’s natural resources over to China on a plate.
I like America and Americans, but your foreign policy is a disaster.

Even though Nixon is widely despised for Watergate, a lot of people laud his “opening” America to China. Even at the time–I was a child–the idea of his throwing Taiwan under the bus disturbed me. In the decades since I think this has revealed itself to be an even greater error than it seemed at the time. Both cynically ugly *and* stupid–a very bad combo.
Infidel says
President Trump had the right idea on relations w/ Russia, but was sabotaged in that pursuit in a bi-partisan way, and on top of that, investigated for what would have been a legitimate policy change – as legitimate as Nixon’s opening to China. And now we have the scenario you described
Also, after Tienanmen Square in 1989, there was no reason to continue normal relations w/ China, since the Soviet Union started coming apart. The worst move was admitting China into the WTO: that created the monster, and the only model under which communism is successful

Fantastic interview below just came out with Jordan B Peterson and .Michael Moy – two excellent men speaking about such problems and failures and how bad the coming years might be – the WEF and CHINA being our greatest enemies:

Andrew Blackadder says
I would like to see the faces of these wee German soy boys and girls at the UN when they mocked Trump for what he said about depending on Russia for their energy needs…
I would love to shout in the stupid faces…. HE TOLD YOU SO… But Im too much of a gentleman to do so.
OLD GUY says
The stupidity of doing business and trusting any dictator makes no sense at all. Dictators don’t care about anyone or anything but themselves and what they get out of the deal. You can’t possibly trust Russia or China but our political leaders and corporate leaders see only the short term profit they gain at the moment.
