How can you put a price ceiling on some specific commodities, when the pricing of these products follows demand and supply. It’s easy to make these kind of statements now, heading into the summer. Let’s see if they still share similar views heading into cold season. This proposition is dead on arrival. Russia will never allow it

Susu888:
The world can now officially see the Morons running the EU nd the world.

You still don't believe they're puppets?!

Likes of Dementia joe, Macaroni, Blondy Johnson, Aloof Schultz e.t.c

EU fell right into US trap!
The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.

The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don’t want Germany to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves. In a world where Germany and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance accounts. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power. This is why the Biden administration opposes Nord Stream. It’s not just a pipeline, it’s a window into the future; a future in which Europe and Asia are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Warmer relations between Germany and Russia signal an end to the “unipolar” world order the US has overseen for the last 75 years. A German-Russo alliance threatens to hasten the decline of the Superpower that is presently inching closer to the abyss. This is why Washington is determined to do everything it can to sabotage Nord Stream and keep Germany within its orbit. It’s a matter of survival.

That’s where Ukraine comes into the picture. Ukraine is Washington’s ‘weapon of choice’ for torpedoing Nord Stream and putting a wedge between Germany and Russia. The strategy is taken from page one of the US Foreign Policy Handbook under the rubric: Divide and Rule. Washington needs to create the perception that Russia poses a security threat to Europe. That’s the goal. They need to show that Putin is a bloodthirsty aggressor with a hair-trigger temper who cannot be trusted. To that end, the media has been given the assignment of reiterating over and over again, “Russia is planning to invade Ukraine.” What’s left unsaid is that Russia has not invaded any country since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and that the US has invaded or toppled regimes in more than 50 countries in the same period of time, and that the US maintains over 800 military bases in countries around the world. None of this is reported by the media, instead the focus is on “evil Putin” who has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border threatening to plunge all of Europe into another bloody war.

All of the hysterical war propaganda is created with the intention of manufacturing a crisis that can be used to isolate, demonize and, ultimately, splinter Russia into smaller units. The real target, however, is not Russia, but Germany. Check out this excerpt from an article by Michael Hudson at The Unz Review:

“The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: “If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” (“America’s Real Adversaries Are Its European and Other Allies”, The Unz Review)

There it is in black and white. The Biden team wants to “goad Russia into a military response” in order to sabotage NordStream. That implies there will be some kind of provocation designed to induce Putin to send his troops across the border to defend the ethnic Russians in the eastern part of the country. If Putin takes the bait, the response would be swift and harsh. The media will excoriate the action as a threat to all of Europe while leaders around the world will denounce Putin as the “new Hitler”. This is Washington’s strategy in a nutshell, and the whole production is being orchestrated with one goal in mind; to make it politically impossible for the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to wave NordStream through the final approval process.

Good move.Russia must be reduced nothing.They must stop the war.More sanctions on Moscow, more weapons to Kyiv.

We must switch buying oil from Russia.Putin must go down to his knee.This is a warning to Xi, he should let the US have their way without any form of inteference or else he will feel the heat.

baralatie:
Good move? So you cannot see the self centeredness in Italy's proposal

descartes400:


Please, can i have the link to this analysis ?

bn365:

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, in an interview with the Corriere della Sera newspaper, said that Rome is proposing to set a price ceiling for Russian resources such as oil and gas in order to increase sanctions pressure on Moscow.
Europe continues to finance Russia by buying oil and gas, including at a price that has nothing to do with historical values ​​and production costs.
Draghi explained that the introduction of the maximum price for Russian gas will allow "strengthening sanctions and at the same time minimizing the costs of their introduction."

"The Italian proposal for a cap on the price of Russian gas is gaining support and will be discussed at the next EU Council on the basis of a common document prepared by the European Commission. Europe buys more than half of the gas exported by Russia. The EU's bargaining power over Moscow is a weapon that can be used. Price ceiling gas cuts the funding that we give Russia every day," Draghi stressed.

The Italian prime minister has repeatedly called for reducing Europe's dependence on energy from Russia and switching to supplies from countries such as Algeria, Azerbaijan, Tunisia and Libya.

But for sure, the world has change forever, globalization is over.
