A video about how the gas crisis might impact Europe during this winter.
It is very hard to get a clear picture about how European countries are connected to gas pipes and the liquified gas ports (LNG terminals). It looks like the dependency and the alternatives are very different from one country to the other.
- Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands (or is that Holland?), Belgium, Poland, Sweden, Norway, UK can easily get gas from the North Sea (Norway, the Netherlands and Germany are interested in selling their expensive gas); but there is no infrastrucutre
to bring this gas to the rest of Europe and either way its would be damn expensive
- the former Yugo-republics (Croatia, Servia, Bosnia, Slovenia), Bulgaria, the Czech. Rep., Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Bulgaria are strongly dependent upon "rusky gas", it seems like
- there are plans to bring gas from the Caspian Sea (Azeri gas), but as far as I know, the infrastructure is largely incomplete
- Spain (from what I know) is obtaining gas from North Africa
During this madness, Germany is de-industrializing, closing down nuclear power plants, while France is re-opening some of theirs.
I think many European countries will go bankrupt or will be severely shaken economically until 2025.
Surviving economically and socially until summer 2023 will be dreadfully hard for Europe.
1) the gas crisis will ignite
social turmoil in many countries (I think Germany, the Czech Rep., Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria will be among the most affected ones)
2) the Euro is going down the drain and is dragging down currencies linked to it -
the EU's currency will lose more ground next year in international trade
3)
powerful corporations are drooling to buy up cheap land, bankrupt industries in the countries having gone down the "Detroit route"
4) in 2023 there will be
less jobs available and many people will lose their current jobs
5) the purchase power is lower in Europe overall,
trade and consumption will dive lower
6)
massive amounts of refugees will arrive from Ukraine to the Western countries (the numbers will keep going as Russians are expected to exploit the cold winter and will most probably cut off gas towards Ukraine)
7)
Europe's trade with China will be negatively affected: weaker industry, less demand from China and weaker Euro will erode trade volumes and transaction values
8) there will be
more internal political conflicts between the centralized Soviet-style EU leadership and "rebel" member states (which follow their own interests instead of bowing to the globalists), among these are: Italy, Hungary, Poland, Greece, but the list is growing... if the centralized constraint and sanctions against member states continue, the EU will self-destruct
9) in the EU,
ideological warfare is more important than the economy: people will eventually rebel against "political correctness", "gender ideologies" if they have no heating/lose heir jobs/food prices keep rising
10)
more illegal migrants will attempt to cross borders in 2023 (the numbers are gradually rising, but an "avalanche" of migrants might take Europe by assault in 2023)
I think the next group of countries to collapse is the EU. It remains to be seen how certain member states will survive (there will be a few success stories, but many will go down the "Detroit road").
Europe won't be the same in the summer of 2023:
- vacations will be more expensive, flights will be more scarce, less tourists will hit the popular travel destinations
- more theft, burglary (statistics show the trends are up already!)
- illegal migrants "stuck" in the West Balkans (Serbia and Bosnia) will turn violent and will attempt to move further into Western Europe
- while the world is becoming multipolar, the EU is becoming a "tower of babel" chaos, where unity will be undermined by criss-cross hatred and attempts to escape from the stranglehold of the "EU octopus authority"
- more blackouts, less water, less gas, scarcity of raw materials
- food prices might double by summer 2023 as Europe drags itself through the long cold winter and also due to the drought, which occurred in summer 2022
- the EU will have less impact in international politics, by summer 2023, it will be a "madhouse"
