I’m suprised they allowed the Guardian to publish a dissenting voice.
I’ve been seeing more and more articles like this in the western mainstream. Looks like they’re realizing the sanctions war failed and starting to shape public opinion to accept the reality.
Every down vote to this post is the proof of Westerners being blind to reality, you are only hurting yourselves and this is good for the global south, please keep accelerating your collapse.
Agree to disagree. Its not the sanctions that are hurting people, its the record breaking profits with stagnant (30+years) wages for the common person. Billionaires should not exist and they are hurting us more than we’d like to admin.
Less gas due to sanctions will destroy a lot of industry, and also jobs. So billionaires or no, things will get very bad for europe if the course isnt changed.
good for them
Good that they admit it, but anyway they still blame Russia for everything bad, which doesnt make sense. Germany could open Nord Stream 2 any day, and it would deliver enough gas for the whole winter. Unfortunately the “green” party would rather reactivate dirty coal plants.

One should not play international politics if one does not have enough gas to heat ones home.

You think Germany freezing in winter and destroying its industrial base will save you from missile strikes? Keep in mind that Russia earns as much money as before the war from selling gas/oil to europe, because prices have shot up.

Russia now exports 80% less gas to Europe. Very different statement from exporting 80% less gas.
What’s delusional is continuing to do something that’s clearly not working while continuing to escalate tensions. The west started the sanctions war, and now it backfired spectacularly. Absolutely deranged to think that further escalation benefits anyone.
