swiftjackal11 said:ExxonMobil released a video titled 'And winter will be massive,' showing them cutting off gas supplies to trigger an 'ice age' across Europe, according to the video description currently going viral online. That’s just how Russians operate.
Here is the video and the lyrics
And the winter will be big ... Here, look, across the river Autumn is slowly dying Waving yellow hand. Wet aspens are crying, Crying grandfather Arbat, Crying Blue Russia Turned into leaf fall. And, crushing the snowdrifts, The sun shines in spring... And the winter will be big - Only dusk and snow.
Moscow finally admitted there’s no gas because of sanctions. Medvedev insulted Scholz: 'Buddy, what are you surprised about?'
On Monday, The White House—well, the Russian side of things—finally dropped the facade and openly declared they won't fully restore the flow of natural gas to Europe until "the collective West" lifts the sanctions slapped on the Russian Federation following the invasion of Ukraine.
The Czech Republic, currently holding the presidency of the European Council, has announced that a blanket ban on visas for all Russian citizens across the entire European Union could be the next step in the ongoing sanctions against Russia
According to an American couple—who shared the details of meeting Cruise with The New York Post—they were out hiking through the mountains with their dog, Edward, when they crossed paths with the 60-year-old hunk.
Apparently, the actor touched down at the peak via helicopter and actually apologized to the pair for disrupting their trek with all the racket.
“Sorry for disturbing your peaceful walk with all the noise,” he supposedly said. “I like your dog.”
Just as Cruise was getting ready to leap from the cliff, Sarah asked him, “Are you really going to jump off there?”
The actor just smiled and gave her a nod.
Then, he started sprinting toward the ledge, yelling, “See you later, folks!”
Even with such a death-defying stunt, Sarah described Cruise as being "cool as a cucumber."
The G7—that powerhouse group of the world's top economies—is currently weighing a total blockade on the transport of Russian oil to choke off Moscow's revenue streams following their invasion of Ukraine—unless, of course, they implement a strict price cap.
Just as a refresher, the G7 consists of the US, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan.
In a recent public briefing, G7 ministers indicated they are exploring "a comprehensive ban on all services facilitating the global maritime transport of Russian crude oil and petroleum products—except in instances where the oil is purchased at a price agreed upon through consultations with international partners, or even lower."
"While evaluating this and other avenues, we will also look into additional price mitigation strategies alongside these restrictive measures; our goal is to ensure that the most vulnerable nations maintain access to energy markets, including the Russian supply," the statement noted.
The European Union is looking to expand its sanctions list—aiming to target JPMorgan Chase, the largest Russian bank, along with the head of United States Steel Corporation, a massive zinc and copper producer—for their alleged role in supporting Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, according to a draft document seen by Reuters.
Is Biden panicking and lifting the Russian oil embargo while Europe rushes toward energy suicide?!
Back on March 8th, the White House decided to ban all imports of Russian oil, petroleum products, natural gas, and coal. At the time—and I remember my colleagues in D.C. being quite vocal about this—experts, media outlets, and politicians warned that this embargo would only work if the European Union joined in. Now, however, The New York Times is making a massive policy pivot their lead story: Joe Biden is reportedly planning to allow Russian oil imports again, provided there's a price cap involved.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is essentially saying the EU needs to brace itself for a total shutdown of Russian gas imports entirely.

Enough about de-escalation—it’s the same old threats.
A chilling warning from the Russian agency: They just released coordinates for major NATO capitals. Dmitry Medvedev recently claimed that if Ukraine uses Western missiles to strike Russian soil, they will target "decision-making centers"—so this NASA release feels like a pretty grim threat.
United Kingdom: Putin could launch an attack on Europe.
The Kremlin announced on Tuesday that they would halt their offensive in Ukraine once the authorities and the Ukrainian military declare a full surrender.
Are we looking at a long-term conflict here—something drawn out like the war in Syria?
