And that is insanely stupid.

Russia doesn't profit from war, but by selling gas. They can't sell it with profit to Russians, so selling it to Europe is very important to them.

Ps. I've never noticed the cut off though ( Belgium) and wasn't aware. So I think it's not that big of a threat.

Indeed, Gazprom lost over $1 billion as a result of the shutdown.

I’m not really sure why I was downvoted before: the actions here targeted Ukraine, but impacted several countries in Europe. Perhaps someone disagrees with me, but that’s not sufficient for a downvote, as I understand it.

I got downvoted too, some commie trolls probably.

If they don't give a reaction, I don't care ;)
