As the Ukraine crisis triggered a "war" of sanctions and counter-sanctions between Europe and Russia, both sides are gritting their teeth, Russia is suffering economic losses every day, while Europe is struggling with the energy crisis.
However, the Russian side has always insisted on not taking the initiative to "cut off gas" policy for Europe, when the Russian-Ukrainian conflict lasted for more than two months, there was a split in Europe on the issue of accepting Russian conditions (unfriendly countries pay in rubles) to purchase natural gas, Hungary, Greece, Austria, Slovakia has clearly expressed their willingness to accept Russia's conditions, Italy and other countries are sneaky procurement, the German government's internal voice is different, and the United Kingdom has left a hand...
Russia's reaction to the different attitudes of these countries is: accept the conditions, continue to supply according to the contract; if it does not accept the conditions, there is still time to reconsider.
But on April 26, Russia announced a "gas outage" decision, the first to be hit was Poland, and a few hours later, Bulgaria was also declared "out of breath".
Why am I the first? The big wave was furious.
Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki angrily accused Russia in parliament on the 27th: "This is a direct attack on Poland, because Poland yesterday carried out a real blow to the Russian oligarchs." In retaliation, the Kremlin this morning turned the threat into reality by shutting down gas supplies. ”
Poland was "cut off" the day before announcing sanctions against 35 companies and 15 natural persons in Russia and Belarus, including Gazprom, Novatek and Russian mineral fertilizer producer Acron.
Novatek Green Energy, a subsidiary of Novatek, is responsible for the supply of natural gas in more than a dozen administrative regions of Poland.
In addition to this, Poland has also claimed to supply Tanks to Ukraine, and the Polish Prime Minister's Office Director Devolchik triumphantly declared that Poland is second only to the United States in the number of weapons supplied to Ukraine.
Poland thought that Russia could only endure and had to supply Poland with gas.
Poland's confidence comes from the fact that it is sure that Russia does not dare to take the initiative to "cut off its breath". Because the basis for the United States for many years to demand that Europe cut off energy cooperation with Russia is that Russia will blackmail Europe by cutting off energy supply.
Russia, for its part, says it will not use energy as a weapon to achieve political goals to avoid letting the United States find an excuse to blackmail Europe.
No matter what reason Europe uses to sanction Russia these years, Putin will not choose energy weapons. In fact, during the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, Russia did not close the floodgates for the transmission of energy to Europe through the Ukrainian pipeline.
Therefore, Russia suddenly took Poland to open the knife to sacrifice the flag, how can Poland accept it? Although the Polish mouth is still very the 27th Polish environment minister Anna threatened, We are ready to deal with Russia's complete cut off of energy supply, but the Polish people can not stand it for three days.
After Novatek ceased supplying natural gas to more than a dozen Polands on April 27, residential buildings, kindergartens, libraries and municipal government offices in the Zagurów region of central Poland were no longer available, and some gas-using kitchens could not cook, and heating and hot water systems could not function.
The normal life of the population has been greatly affected. The owner of a large animal feed factory in Zaguruf said the feedlot would not be able to continue operating if gas supply could not be restored as soon as possible.
A large number of enterprises in the seaside resort of Łeba in northern Poland have been cut off from gas supply, 80% of the buildings have no heating and hot water, and the accommodation and tourism industry is once again in trouble.
But judging from the attitude of senior Polish government officials, Poland did not realize that it had made any mistakes, but blindly continued to yell at Russia.
There is an old Chinese saying called "the gun shoots the head bird", and for Russia, Poland is the head bird!
Among the countries fighting Russia, the most ironclad is Poland and several other Eastern European countries, Lithuania last month announced that it would not use all of Russia's energy sources, including oil, coal, natural gas, Estonian Prime Minister Kaya. Kasla also said: Although gasoline is expensive, freedom is priceless!
And Poland is their leading big brother, Russia does not fight you hit whom?
When Russia "ran out of gas" on Poland, it was announced by Gazprom, not the government, on the grounds that Poland had not paid in rubles. The same is true for Bulgaria.
This is a supply problem between enterprises, not a political problem, the seller can not receive money, the buyer certainly can not receive the goods.
However, Poland does not see it this way, and there are still several countries that refuse to settle in rubles, so why are you beating me? Although there was a Bulgarian escort, Poland decided that it was for it.
The problem is that since Russia has done so, it means that it is not afraid of what Poland can do, and to fight Poland is to show Europe. The stupid thing about Poland is that it is rushing too far ahead, and the domestic gas demand is so large (more than 50% from Russia), if it does not sanction the "Novatek Green Energy Company", Poland can still have room for manoeuvre, but Polish politicians always like this stud.
Did the United States save Poland? Even if the U.S. LNG is to be supplied to Poland, it will have to wait until the LNG terminal in the port of Gdansk is completed, but this will not take at least until 2025.
Poland has some strategic gas reserves, but it does not dare to use them now for people and enterprises.
It can now only be purchased from Germany, transported to Poland via the Yamal-European gas pipeline, where about 30 million cubic meters are procured daily, but these are also Russian gas.
This is very funny, is it not Russian gas after Germany has changed hands, and what is Poland making?
What's more, Germany itself is still hesitating to go, and the German government itself is still calling for closing the curtains, wearing sweaters, riding bicycles, and even taking a bath to save natural gas. Does Germany have the spare capacity to supply Poland with 30 million cubic meters of natural gas per day?
Since you are the vanguard of anti-Russianism, I will be the first to strike at you, and Poland itself has given Russia a full reason to "stop breathing".
Poland's desperate, reckless character has suffered many losses in history, but it is dead and does not correct.
European shoe shine insoles
Poland has always overestimated its own strength, but its ancestors have indeed been generous.
Ancient Polish history was divided into three orders: the Piast dynasty, the Agailo dynasty, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
In 1018, king Polesław I of Poland personally led a polish and Bohemian coalition of more than 10,000 people to occupy Kiev, and Poland thought it was a natural thing to rule the Ukrainians.
By the time of the Jagiello dynasty, Poland's territory included: Poland - Czech Republic - Slovakia - Hungary - Lithuania - Ukraine - Belarus, etc., as if it was the largest country in Europe.
After the establishment of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was even more powerful, when the Poles dared to beat anyone, and they also beat off the Ottoman Empire's army and saved Europe (Poland always considered itself a savior).
The Ukrainians, unable to stand the brutal rule of the Poles, staged an uprising led by the nobleman Khmelnyski and recognized the rising Russia as their suzerainty, freed themselves from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
The reckless Polish nobles not only usurped the throne of Tsarist Russia three times and twice, but also refused industrialization in order to safeguard the interests of the clique, and only wanted to sell agricultural products and exploit the serfs of western Ukraine.
Politically, it is also extreme "democratization", where every representative of the nobility in parliament has a veto and almost no major decision can be passed.
In 1768, Poland's national strength began to decline severely, becoming a buffer state between the three powers of Tsarist Russia, Austria and Prussia, which was constantly rising in national strength, and the pattern of wiping feet slowly took shape.
In 1772, Occidental held a meeting and divided Poland for the first time, and the area of Poland was reduced by about half, leaving only 522,300 square kilometers.
In 1793, Russia and Prussia divided Poland again, and the area of Poland was reduced to 215,000 square kilometers.
In 1795, the three countries divided Poland again, and the Polish territory disappeared from Europe.
The Poles were not reconciled, and in 1806 they finally embraced Napoleon's lap. France went to war against Russia, Germany and Austria, and the Poles joined the French Corps.
In 1807, Napoleon felt that this little brother was good, dared to fight, and it was quite pitiful to be destroyed, so he established the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.
After Napoleon's defeat, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was also declared finished.
After World War I, under the initiative of the United States, Britain, France and other Western countries, Poland was restored.
Poland, which was a little more uplifting, began to be ambitious again, and in 1938 it sided with Nazi Germany and invaded the Cieszing region of Czechoslovakia.
In 1939, the German blitzkrieg Poland, which was split into east and west halves, occupied by Germany and Russia separately, and once again destroyed the country, and set up a government-in-exile in London.
After World War II, he regained his country, joined the Warsaw Pact organization, and became a younger brother of the Soviet Union.
After the Cold War, he hugged the thighs of the United States, became the little brother of the United States, and joined NATO, agreeing to deploy American missiles in his own home and target Russia.
Since the Crimean crisis in 2014, Poland has been on the front lines to provoke Russia, and the United States has been the most active.
Now become Russia's first "gas out-of-gas" target, and what about later? If Germany rearmament, who knows, will history repeat itself?
