Why not apply that thought to the US ? If the US becomes capable of supporting German fuel needs, and begin to supply Gas, why are they incapable of exerting political pressure with their supplies? The US created the reasons for the sanctions that appear to drive Russia out of a multi billion dollar business they had developed in Europe. That act seems to prove that the US is a self serving and corrupt government who seems to lack ethics or shame?
@MrZenGuitarist

Well, I would argue that Bildt is somewhat of an expert in scolding nations - in retrospect! He did the same (to some of the nationalities [forgotten which though] in) former Yugoslavia - so much so that a public speaking that he was to hold at one of these places after the war had ended had to be cancelled! He also did the same with Ethopia and Somalia (and I believe some other African nations) for expelling, killing and forcibly 'removing/relocating' some of its citizens from its territories, when they did so to be able to extract oil from these lands - despite the fact he was heavily 'compromised', to say the least! Since he, himself was partly the owner of the said oil-company that was to extract it!!!??? Yeah! That's Bildt - the self-appointed 'moral crusader' in a nutshell...

What is the EU doing to financially help Poland and its organizations which have mobilized to receive the bulk of refugees from Ukraine. More than 700,000 Ukrainian families welcomed in a few days with great attention by Poland, is an unprecedented fact. While no EU country utters even a word of appreciation, the opposite is concerned with the so-called "rule of law" issue. We can see how this state works in the event of a real humanitarian crisis. It is Germany that is not a State of Law. This country thinks it can do anything and does not respect the sanctions against Putin's Russia ? EU countries should take Germany to the EU Tribunal for failing to comply with sanctions. Russian gas and coal are still supplied to Germany, in exchange for the currencies which should block the Russian economy. A reprehensible fact and France or any other EU country is not bringing this country to justice. Germany is not above the law.

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in March 2018 awarded many billions of USD from Gazprom (Russia) to Naftogaz (Ukraine) in an arbitration proceding. Here we see a former Prime Minister of Sweden at a Naftogaz conference in June 2018. Why did Russia agree to Sweden for arbitration? Because they trusted the Swedes. Questions: - how are the business and financial prospects of Naftogaz today? (June 2022) - how are the business and financial prospects of Gazprom today? (June 2022) - would the Russians trust Sweden today? - is the international level of trust for Sweden today (June 2022) greater or smaller? - Bildt says (June 2018) Ukraine must work on its endemic corruption problem: June 2022 has it improved? - how much Russian gas is flowing over Ukraine today? how much will flow in 3 years time (say 2025)? - how much Russian gas will flow West to Europe generally in the future? - the 2018 arbitration was regarded as a great victory for Naftogaz. 4 years later can it still be regarded as a nett victory? - assuming Ukraine still exists where will it source its energy in the future? At what price? - are we moving to a world were the possession of actual commodity resources is more important than control of international relations?

Of course it's different, the history of Kazakhstan is different as well and no one said otherwise, but we can also say that there are common core elements that connect Ukrainians and Russians. Are the differences greater than commonalities or do these common things matter more? This is a game for crazy or manipulating politicians to play, but they play with our lives. The problem with Putin, just as with most such nationalists, is that he is both right and wrong. He could have used his ideology of brotherhood to keep Ukraine connected with Russia, but he used it to spread death and destruction instead.

@@marcosmelendez09 'Soviet Russia' didn't do anything to Soviet Ukraine. It was the USSR government and Stalin, who was Georgian, that caused the hunger. Millions of Russians died of hunger as well because the crazy agricultural policies weren't targeted specifically at Ukrainians as a nation. Just look at the map of where people died during 'Holodomor'. It was the grain-producing areas of both Ukraine and Russia that suffered due to madness of the communists. It wasn't the Russians that went about the Ukrainian villages, taking all grain from farmers, it was the Ukrainian communists. Every nation was formed at some point in time and then they evolve and change. When the Cossacks had their Hetmanate in what is now Ukraine, they didn't think of themselves as Ukrainians or Russians, they thought of themselves as Cossacks. Modern Ukrainian identity is very novel, compared to other European nations. One of the problems with Ukrainian nationalists is that they hate the real history, so they invent their own.

The common elements that connect the Russian people to the people of Ukraine is fabricated by Russia. The Ukrainian cultural identity goes back to the middle ages when the people were connected with the people from Poland, Finland, and Baltic regions, and has a cultural heritage connected with those people from the north, as well as Byzantium to the south. Moscow was still a swamp, the people were Uralic and Mongolic people. Western Germanic leaders in the 18th century westernised the region and its people, constructed new western style cities, and fraudulently presented Ukrainian's long history as if it were Russian. Ukraine's relationship to the Russia empire has been one of domination and oppression. In the 20th century, Russia migrated russian nationals to live in the region, which has caused problems for Ukraine in Crimea and the eastern region, Ukrainian Nationals were killed or exiled. Now Putin is conducting an aggression against the people, and we see quickly that Ukrainian people unite to fight these invaders.

The Rurik dynasty would continue to rule parts of Rus' until the 16th century with the Tsardom of Russia. At its greatest extent, in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea... uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.

Russian oil and gas is no longer flowing profligately into NATO countries, the EU has come together as never before, NATO has also strengthened itself with the accession of Finland and imminently Sweden itself. All that remains is for a united Ukraine with the rest of Europe to rid the continent of the last vestiges of medieval Russian colonialism.

Sweden been in so many wars and lost some and won some. If the outcome of each war would decide what we are today… that is mental and just plain stupid. And if it did, why are Sweden and Denmark in a joint exercise, working together, right now? We fought and lost many more times to Denmark then Russia.

Deflecting the final question somewhat when he says, ‘Ukraine’s energy policy has been a mess,’ ‘a dependence that has been insanely dangerous.’ Apply that to Germany. The Baltics have decoupled from RU gas much more easily. The Ukraine ambassador to Norway was spot on.

Baltics still buy the Russian gas . They say they don’t , but then once a week some leak pops and reveals that they still get the gas from Russia . It’s normal for politicians to say one thing and do the other.

Judging by the number of Russian trolls in the comments section, they only like one interpretation of history: Putin's. One day they might come to appreciate the benefits of looking at things from a different point of view, just to explore ideas and expand the mind. But not till Putin goes, I suppose and democracy comes to Russia.

- ”"Yes" in Crimea was only 54.19” If that number would have been for ”No” votes, would you have used the word ”only”?… - ”(with a 60% turnout of voters in all Crimea); the lowest for all regions!” You end that comment with an exclamation mark, but don’t explain us where the sensation is. In Donetsk ”Yes” votes were 83.90%, but the turnout of voters was 64%, only a little higher than in Crimea.

The Soviet Union Referendum with a question: " Do you consider it necessary to preserve the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics, in which the rights and freedoms of a person of any nationality will be fully guaranteed" took place on March 17, 1991. Ignoring the result of the referendum where majority (77.85%) of population answered :"Yes", on December 8the, the President Boris Yeltsin of the Russian SFSR, President Kravchuk of Ukraine, and Chairman Shushkevich of Belarus, signed an accord putting the end of the Soviet Union. It was not a will of people, it was a will of politicians.

@@vkrgfan Hi there, my point is the commonality lies in the shared history between these people who now form independent modern states. They formed one Commonwealth for over 200 years, during this time Moscow was seen as the enemy and not a friend. This is in contrast to the Russian view that the people of Belarus and Ukraine have always been their eternal brothers and sisters. You are spot on about the language differences.

@@bafatan9909 It's true though that Western Ukrainians view themselves as European and don't think of themselves as Slavs. Therefore they always look down on us, over centuries they sent their Monarchs to marry our Tsars to sustain serfdom. So, yes Putin's distrust of the West stems from the history of opportunistic oppression and Nazism.

I blame both and I understand both sides. If you trully want to undestand what is going on there without the enormous social media anti-Russian sentiment, I would suggest watching the lecture by the John Mearsheimer, Harvard's Professor of political sciences (American). In his 2015 lecture, he described the crisis from the point of view of cause-consequence type of relationship providing all key dates/events. He predicted how exactly the whole situation would play out today. Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer. If anyone has strong counter arguments against John Mearsheimer's point of view, please, share your sources here (no sociam media and/or govt media of any kind) and I will take my time to study them.
