Purely empty threat. Putin, the person holding the leash of Lukashenko, would never allow that to happen, because natural gas exports are vital for the economy of Russia. Natural resources is the only thing that is keeping the Russian economy afloat.
Do it. It would only give Europe an incentive to become more energy independent and sustainable.
I don’t understand how the fuck EU is getting trolled by this dude and does almost nothing. I just don’t..
Is it pointless as we have backups? It could be catastrophic few years ago but now?
I mean for example Poland have LPG terminal or NordStream can be a backup gas pipe in such situation?
See this is why French are correct in pursuing nuclear
Not only is it green and helps cut co2 but it defangs these authoritarian assholes.
Putin may actually be ok with this to speed up nord stream 2… they really thought this through
Thankfully there is NS2 so this threat is meaningless.
and suddenly r/europe will change their stance on North Stream 1 and 2 …
It’s basically without any output currently….so what exactly does he want to stop?
I say call his bluff. Let him cut the gas.
So Belarus will lose Transit Fees, whilst Europe can use the newly built TANAP and NS2 pipelines to make up for this. BRILLIANT!
And in the long run our dependence on fossil fuel decreases year on year
Buffoon
That’s why Europe should build more nuclear like France…
I genuinely wish he would, just so politicians across the continent can pull their heads out of their asses so they can finally acknowledge that needing energy from a state which wants to destroy you is beyond stupid.
This psycho has to be stopped. The faster the better.
Oh no! if only we had some other way of heating… like some woody thing, or some zappy lightning stuff that heats up metal…
anyway
Putin should get his vassal under control, before he gets Ceausescu treatment from his citizens.
I doubt Vladimir will let that happen, he will let belarus fall before cutting gas to europe.
Good, Good!
do it.
Kaliningrad (RUSSIA) will also freeze then
Hope he does it, this whole farce about “independent country Belarus” needs to be fixed asap.
So that was the fucking endgame.
“Listen everyone, nord stream 2 is needed because Lukashenko suddenly went apeshit without anyone pulling his strings or ordering him to! Woah, Europe got lucky!!!”.
My sides are in orbit. Literally russian made international blackmail fueled by crimes against humanity.
Woah, as a Brit I have never even heard of a neighbouring country threatening to allow a shit load of migrants through and threatening cutting off the energy supply.
Go and do it. Those sweet transit fees will go to us then.
Maybe that’ll get Germany to shut up on nuclear power. Wishful thinking, I know…
Cut everything. Gas, oil, trade. No nation in EU should support an authoritarian regime with anything.
Luka, I’m going to give you that talk. You’re not as regionally important as Poland for example is.
the only gas Lukasenka really can cut is his personal gas.
It would be a shame if he passes away mysteriously. Who is next in line?
i rather spend the whole winter without heating than conceed to bribery.
lets call their bluff…..
Poland can run on gas reserves for a year, we are ready.
Call his bluff and if he cuts gas then embargo companies making business with Belarus, including Russian ones.
That’s the only way to force Putin to back down since he’s behind this clown, rubbing his little hands.
Seriously, has Lukashenko decided to compete in the same class with Kim Jong Un?
And rob Putin out of his income?
If he cuts the gas maybe he’ll at least stop blowing smoke…
Do it. It would be great to force our governments to take energy more seriously. It would be a favour.
Oh man im actually hoping this happens. Would speed the whole climate thing right up
You go girl!
Fuck off, Lukashenko!
From Greece with much love.
>Gasprom’s face when Luka threatens to cut flow in Gasprom’s pipe to its biggest customer
We have a saying in the U.S. “Cream rises to the top – and so does shit.” This dude is shit.
I’m afraid he ends like Gaddafi unless he does not stop.
It’s been said to the point of cliche now, but if it wasn’t for the greens obsession with gutting germanys nuclear power program this gas valve “diplomacy” would never have gotten this bad and Germanys emissions per capita would be a global benchmark. Could literally tell lukascenko to go piss in the wind
He should be in the dictionary as the definition for the word cunt

which line goes through Belarus?
What a fucking clown.
