The Russian ruble is at a 7 year high and they have so much excess natural gas they are literally burning it. A reported 10 million dollars a days worth. Meanwhile Europe is rationing and told to expect a bleak, cold winter with fuel shortages.
On the upside, the fairytale green movement is being pushed aside as coal and nuclear power is making a come back.

Yep, as it turns out "Pravda Gerashchenko" has updated his telegram post to show this incident took place in July.

Like I said, there appears to be a very effective "news embargo" in place right now, so I guess Pravda just needed to report something to remain relevant.

Maybe nobody told them that Ursula von der whatever just declared an EU energy emergency, but sure, further *bleep* off the people holding your nuts in a vise.

We live in a funny time. We are losing power and we accuse other countries we can't control for doing what we did for a couple of hundred years.

Couple hundred years ago? More like twenty or ten.
