Option from Brussels: "The Arctic is ours"

54

The European Union has recently presented a document in which it defines its attitude to the Arctic. Judging by the document, this attitude is "direct" - in the opinion, again, of the European Union itself. The main message is that the European Union is all so environmentally friendly and "green", and therefore it is not going to exploit the Arctic subsoil and acquire the minerals that are obtained from such subsoil.

The position is undoubtedly interesting. First, the "collective" Brussels, which has nothing to do with the Arctic region, is actually claiming its rights to the Arctic. Option from the European Union (Brussels): "The Arctic is ours."



Secondly, the European adherents of "green energy" indirectly show "cookies" to Russia, declaring that their (our) gas, produced mainly "in the north", will not be bought by them, the Europeans. And they themselves will not extract anything "in their Arctic" either.

This is doubly amazing. After all, the same Europeans just a few days ago announced that it was allegedly Russia that was behind the sharp rise in gas prices and that it was Russia that was holding back the required volumes of gas supplies to Europe.

So you would have already decided, gentlemen Europeans. If you are not interested in Russian gas at all, why are these statements about "gas intrigues" of Russia? Go to your alternative sources, as Greta Thunberg calls on, and you will have great "green" happiness. But why the Europeans don't cross. Apparently, there are big problems with "green" sources, and therefore attacks against Russia will continue against the background of statements that "we do not need gas from Russia." Infected with the alternative logic from Ukraine?

      what happened in Britain 5 years ago WITHOUT energy shortages
      2 years ago in Britain, the median income of a pensioner was 285 pounds per week (compare with the Russian smile )
      https://www.which.co.uk/news/2019/04/retirement-earnings-fall-where-do-pensioners-earn-the-most/
      Taking into account free medicine and paid mortgage, you can live.
      National energy action is a non-governmental fund whose task is, first of all, to collect donations. For this, hype is being induced. (Like the Amazon parrot protection fund) There are, of course, retirees with financial difficulties - but these are the consequences of a cheerful youth, when instead of buying real estate and savings, everything was spent on drink in Spain. Well, even poor refugees - having lived half their life on benefits (and half their lives in their desert), they find that money is not enough. Something like this.

          Heating / light costs here on average about 1.2 thousand per year. In October, average prices (by decision of the regulator Ofcom) rose by as much as 138 pounds a year.

            The Guardian writes about uncomfortable topics ... For example, at one time they asked how things were at the Gigafactory Musk. Everyone who "is not interested in what is interesting only to VO readers" sing songs about the fact that there is the future and robots are working ... But it turned out. that instead of robots they plow mexes for 14 hours a day without a license at all, earning disability and a kick in the ass. The result was a trial and Musk was pressed tightly. But this does not matter - this, like the dead beggar British pensioners, is "interesting only to VO readers" - and it does not matter that this is true

    Well this is some kind of gift of fate! That is, the faucet, in addition to the contracts, can be screwed on. Let the price go up for now. And to the cries of freezing Europeans, poke their noses into the adopted document and say: "Wait a minute! Let's figure it out ...." and start slowly figuring out where whose Arctic is, who doesn't want to buy gas produced in the Arctic. And if not Arctic, then let's wait together until someone else expresses a desire to pump their "non-Arctic" gas to Europe via this pipeline, at quite Asian prices + transit. And only then, on an advance payment in rubles, to start working. Every whim for your money. And who doesn't like to let their fans turn manually.

    The answer is obvious: a return to the idea of ​​American LNG is envisaged. And the rejection of Russian Arctic gas is another step towards a commodity embargo. Europeans do not want to arm their rivals at their own expense. One day the embargo will come into full force and all raw materials from Russia will be banned. That is, Russia will still be pulled off the oil needle. Only outside.

    Norway produces and sells Arctic gas from them. Do they also want to ban Norway from extracting and selling this gas? By the way, it would be interesting to know how much Norway sells its gas for export these days and by how many% it has increased gas exports to Europe. To compare, so to speak, Russia's efforts to save Europe from freezing and the efforts of native and dear Norway. And it seems to me that Norway sells its gas much more expensive than Russia. At the same time, we are accused that we are badly saving Europe, although for us it (this very Europe) is completely alien to us, taking into account all the actions and measures that they have been taking against us in recent years.
    PS Why do we have to save Europe from anything at all? As far as I know history, they never saved us from anything, they only attacked or plotted ... Only we saved them periodically, and at the cost of huge losses of our own people. And subsequently, these rescues were interpreted as occupation and led to the destruction of monuments erected to the saviors - our hero ancestors.
    I wrote a long time ago, even when the oil crisis of 2014 was that we do not know how to trade our resources, that the West sets prices for our resources on their exchanges such that they are profitable for them, then they resell our resources purchased on their exchanges and earn tens of percent out of thin air. ... It is necessary not to cover the entire demand, it is necessary that buyers compete for supplies, and not suppliers pour out the surplus of raw materials, and then the price will be real on the exchanges. Only years later, OPEC + jointly guessed to implement this plan ... by reducing production by only 10-15%, as a result, the price increased more than 2 times, that is, by more than 200%.
    Moreover, gas is an exhaustible mineral ... Even if we have it for another 100 years, it is very little. In general, it is necessary to introduce a cut-off in prices, below which gas and any exhaustible minerals cannot be sold! Let them be better preserved in our bowels for a longer time and serve as many of our generations as possible than we will now sell everything for a pittance, besides, countries that are imposing various sanctions against us and, in general, are actually preparing for war with our country ...
    In general, firstly, to sell Russian gas and other minerals only on our own exchanges, for example, in St. Petersburg. Subject to the paragraph above about cutting off prices. Gas to Europe should not be sold to anyone except Serbia at a discount. And Serbia should be provided with no more than 99% of their real minimum domestic consumption, so that they do not resell and develop their green energy (also a useful thing). The rest enter a table of coefficients - for each unfriendly action plus a percentage of the price.
    Asia to sell with a small discount to all loyalists except Japan, until they sign a waiver of the Kuriles and a peace treaty.
    This will be the manipulation of the gas market. Well, do not care, but then at least the accusations will not be unfounded as they are now. If you want to buy on our terms, please. If you don't want to - buy in other places and heat your houses with whatever you want. I repeat once again - it is better to keep gas in the bowels of future generations than to sell it for pennies to countries that are plotting and preparing for war against us.

      Well, or at least, if there are no eggs, state all this openly. Simply, quietly, referring to the depletion of deposits, reduce production by 10-15%, do not cover the entire demand of the West, do not follow their lead. Let them pay the real price, not the pennies that they paid before.
