EU has no need for ruzzkie gas. But if they will have, well... to you know the story of brave king Leopold the Second and how he get money from Congo?
While the EU is full of people who produce a lot of hot air, it's not exactly something you can run factories on.
That Article reads like its written by an anglo or some other kind of retard... those Industrial hubs in germany were build before russian gas, they were build because of new discoverys, like synthetic fertilizer and Ludwigshafen.
BASF wants a tax discount, thats all..
those are anglo sources, those journalists dont know what an industry is...
central europe will be fine, the lazy people in the south, not so much...
While I do share your feelings about the accursed anglos, it still looks like they screwed you pretty good.
From the Nord Stream sabotage to the Biden administration offering European companies a series of tax breaks and incentives to lure them over to the US.
Also yeah, companies like BASF do want a discount to match the Americans' offer, but I have serious doubts that the EU will be able to afford that.
At this point dealing with Putin doesn't seem so unreasonable, right?
Edit: To elaborate on further consequences, if the EU refuses to submit to the American economic dicking and rolls out their own subsidy to counter Biden's, that will cause a full-on trade war with the US.
Seeing as Europe is depending on the US for energy resources and defense in face of Putin's le ebil liberator hordes, I think they'll take the dicking.
There's also the option of individual countries telling the EU to fuck off, of course.
This honestly makes even less sense. If you were a Pole I could understand you sneeding about le ruzzians and all that. Poles are always assblasted at Russia. But why does a Bosnian decide to come here and sneed about ruzzia?
Maybe a Russian called him чурка once and he's been sneeding about it ever since.
