With this year’s frigid winter, they’ve finally relented and will begin buying gas directly from Gazprom again, now that their legal challenge was settled by the Stockholm Arbitration Court. This is what is driving European politics populist. It, along with insane immigration, is eroding the political power of the globalists who run the EU. Gazprom, despite all of the rhetoric, supplied a record amount of gas to Europe in 2017 and will likely increase those deliveries by another 6% in 2018.In previous centuries Russia won wars because it knew how to endure winter, and knew how to weaponize winter against warm-country invaders. Now Russia is winning the economic war because it knows how to deal with the economic consequences of winter, and knows how to weaponize sanctions against the demonic sanctioners. (How? Break Graybill's Law. Expand your own skill set.) Same basic principle. Now the emphasis is on skills instead of simple endurance. Russia is now the wintersmith.
