U.S. GDP grew at a 4.9% annual pace in the third quarter, better than expected

Not even close. There are no negotiations underway for peace in the east. Between Russia and Ukraine about 3000 soldiers are estimated killed in the last week alone.

Meanwhile in Yemen the UN says fighting has subsided[0] and Iran and Saudi Arabia have begun rehabilitation of relations[1]. Comparing a frozen conflict in its negotiated end stages to an active war with thousands of casualties a week and hundreds of missile strikes on cities each month screams complete ignorance of the war you pretend to care about.

I thought Russia was on its last legs! The media tells me so since last year.

So you don't care about Yemen, it was only a red herring. Well whatever your reason for raising the argument, it hasn't influenced western European governments like Belgium to prefer Russian gas over any other sources.

You brought up Yemen but didn't know about the state of the conflict it speaks louder than words.
