Russia will shut off the gas export to the Netherlands coming tuesday because we won't pay in Rubles.
Sad. We will probably have to restart burning coal in our decomissioned coal power plants to compensate. RIP Paris climate deal.


EDIT: In other news, tonight, 120 or more refugees are forced to sleep in chairs (again), because we have no more beds available for them. All available non-contested* capacity is used up for Ukrainian refugees, no more beds for Africans and Afghans.

*) we actually have capacity, but a lot of municipalities refuse to make it available out of fear for civil unrest and riots from anti-refugee idiots.

I "love" Russian propaganda. Severedonetsk, a ~100K city, got evacuated with about ~20K refusing to leave. Now some of those residents (mostly 60+ years old) great Russians as liberators and all of Russian segment of the internet is full with videos of happy people and claims like "see, people waited for so long!" omiting the fact that pro-Ukrainian majority fled not wanting to face of Buchs residents' fate.

ur good fam no disruption expected.
Only 15% of Dutch enery needs were supplied by Russia and your most exposed gas company had already begun stockpiling gas & switching to European gas before the cutoff

So the Russians invaded in order to steal Disney bedsheets. Now it all makes sense.

It feels soooo weird watching history documentaries about the recent events in your own country and being like "hm, this did happen only three months ago...."

I do recommend the following two videos if you want to familiarize yourself with the event of the Russian-Ukrainian war from February to May

French President Emmanuel Macron said it is vital that Russia is not humiliated so that when the fighting stops in Ukraine a diplomatic solution can be found, adding that he believed Paris would play a mediating role to end the conflict.

Yeah, let us show the world that there is nothing wrong in invading a neighboring country with genocidal intentions. Why humiliate a nation for such a minor transgression?

I also LOVE this "when the fighting stops" instead of "When Russia will be defeated"

French President Emmanuel Macron later added, why are the Ukrainians being so difficult? Don't they understand they should give up and stop making Putin so sad? Watching all their civilians get murdered is ruining his international relations :[

Macron should keep his mouth shut, to put it politely.

So basically he said to people they need to respect Putin less than a week after a French journalist got killed by Russian shellings, and a few days after another French guy that joined the Ukraine legion also got killed by Russian artillery. He's just lucky he got elected in his country only because the alternative was either far right or far left.

In WW2 France at least waited with becoming a puppet state until after they were conquered.

He's talking about an off ramp for Putin. It's not a new or particularly contentious idea, is it?
