"Now Germany has , to their credit , adjusted quickly to the new reality and ended that dependance - a market that will NEVER return to Russia !"
Adjusted quickly?
How?
By opting instead to buy oil and gas on global markets, which are already under-supplied?
By now crowding out poorer countries on international energy markets, because it stuffed up its internal energy policy, Germany is contributing to energy poverty in under-developed and developing countries.
Energy Imperialism is really what it is.
Modern-day colonialists, because instead of plundering other parts of the world for gold, silver and other scarce materials as happened in the past, Europe is today plundering the world for scarce energy.
