That's Canada's experience. All our fossil fuels and most of everything else that's exported goes primarity to the US. We have no LNG capability, so all natural gas exports are US bound, and subject to a lot of take it or leave it thinking from our US cousins.Selling to one customer actually becomes a leash. In business, diversification matters. When one only has one main buyer, guess who calls the shots?

The first comment under the article is spot on.Brilliant. Just BRILLIANT!
Ukrainian hackers created fake profiles of attractive women to trick Russian soldiers into sharing their location, report says. Days later, the base was blown up.
Russian soldiers sent the Ukrainian hackers photos, which they geolocated and sent to the Ukrainian military, the Financial Times reported.finance.yahoo.com
I guarantee you that despite the word getting out on this, there will be plenty of gullible Russian soldiers falling for the same scam. How many years have there been websites for mail order brides but yet men with over-active testosterone will be duped time and time again.The first comment under the article is spot on.
"See, this is the reason why information needs to be classified. They could have kept their mouths shut and keep using this method, but they just had to go and brag about it, and now this particular method will be less effective in the future."
This is just the kick Europe needed to recommit to nuclear power generation and to expedite geothermal heating, along with a big boost in solar and wind.Putler cut off oil to the west. That's his big play. Europe ditches Russian energy sooner. Europe accounts for at least 75% of Russia's oil exports.
At least they're not posing as FNS agents (Federal Taxation Service - Russia's IRS) telling them to make a tax payment with wall mart gift cards!I guarantee you that despite the word getting out on this, there will be plenty of gullible Russian soldiers falling for the same scam.

You mean the Great Patriotic war of 1812?And MikroShket is straight out of "the Great Patriotic War", if you ask me.
Oh, shi...If the caption starts with "Russia says...", then it's either complete bullsh*t, partial bullsh*t or *may* have a grain of truth.
Heavy emphasis on *may*.
Russia is doing that themselves. Once the natural gas field has been opened it cannot easily be closed. You must either burn or store the gas. Since Russia won't sell the gas to its customers to burn, and since Russia has very limited gas storage capacity, the gas must be burned at the well head.Since Putin has decided to weaponize gas by cutting off the flow, it might be nice if someone infiltrated and destroyed the gas at it's source. The Putin would have nothing to sell.
I hope they're better than some of the kit we're sending. Though to be fair, this seems to be private donation rather than flaws in government kit.Canada announced at the NATO summit 39 brand new LAVs bound for Ukraine. See post 8302

Yes, I clearly see that this forum is totally unbiased and objective in it's judgment. But wait...
Oh, shi...
So I would like to know "out of what" or where are these participants from?
I'll leave you alone in this sandbox multiplying flowing like sand dreams of Falcon and Warthog.
