Dire winter scenario issued for EU

The bloc will either have to continue importing gas from Russia or reduce consumption, consultancy Yakov & Partners say.

Reducing dependence on Russian natural gas supply is impossible for the European Union in the coming year without a massive production halt, RBK business daily reported on Monday, citing a study by McKinsey's former Russian division, consulting company Yakov & Partners.

Their research showed that, despite reports that EU stores are full, the bloc has not yet overcome its reliance on Russian energy and will not be able to get through the coming winter and next year "without maintaining gas supplies from Russia or a [effecting] significant reduction" in consumption.

The report outlined that, in order to meet their needs until the end of 2022, European countries will either have to maintain imports from Russia or reduce gas consumption by an additional seven to 12 billion cubic meters, "which is possible only with a complete or partial shutdown of a number of industries." The deficit may grow to 20-30 billion cubic meters if China's demand for LNG recovers or if the winter is cold and long, or in the event of disruptions in supply chains, it adds.

Yakov & Partners indicated that 70% of nitrogen fertilizer production capacities in the EU have already been stopped, aluminum production has been reduced by 25%, and steel production by 5%. The authors of the study suggested that the decline in production is likely to continue "even in the event of a mild winter."

"In the perspective of 2023, the rejection of Russian gas means a deficit of 40-60 billion cubic meters for European countries even while maintaining the current rate of gas savings for the whole of 2023," said Elena Kuznetsova, a partner at the company.

She explained that 60 billion cubic meters of gas is comparable to the annual gas consumption of France and Poland combined, or the total annual gas consumption of such industries as fertilizer production, petrochemistry, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, and all engineering. Stopping these industries will further affect other related industries, from agriculture to services, Kuznetsova warned.

Night temperatures are nearing 0°C already, at about 1000ft elevation. I can see a not-so-mild winter coming.

KRNABRNY · 2022-09-22T08:18:51Z

codis If a friend knows at least a bit of history, then he certainly knows that winter has always been an ally of the East.

Questioneverything · 2022-09-22T08:20:04Z

I havent had heating in my house for close to 10 years. Just wear more clothing 👍

KROMM · 2022-09-22T11:06:01Z

Questioneverything And how cold does the winter get where you live?

Here in central Europe it was rather mild for the few past decades, only "proper" winters we last had were in the 80's, since they started with "chemtrails" in the nineties, the general weather has definitely changed a bit.. Also the clouds are different and getting stranger each decade, perhaps they modify the used chemicals quite often. I don't believe any of it is for "our good", more like destroying everything so everyone is dependant on corporations of any kind for bare survival in the soon-to-become-desert Europe and North America (just look at all the fertile soil losses, GMO crop spread and poisoning of soil 2 to 10 meters deep depending on location with glyphosate, DDT and a ton of other toxins)..

Most Europeans will have little choice but to wear much more clothes for the winter, perhaps many winters from now on.. Let's see how can anyone survive on Green Energy and a bug diet. It will be genocide on unimaginable scale we're about to witness.

And people are getting pretty allergic to anyone saying "just wear more clothes" as they usually like to add "it's all Putin's fault anyway" and "we need to stand in solidarity with our Ukraine brethren"

For all I know maybe they never stopped and this entire scenario is just another scheme to demand more resources from the “human resources”. Considering this entire war production seems to smell of pure bullshit there is no reason to believe there are telling the truth about the energy supplies.

codis · 2022-09-22T10:11:04Z

Psstoffgoy I wonder how the effects of reduced heating, rolling blackouts and food shortages stack up with the vaxx side effects.

Or, franky speaking, I have a pretty good idea how they will. Because, if anybody remembers, the Russians published documents allegedly captured in the Donbas, proving the Ukraine had really prepared a large-scale attack on Donbas and Crimea. Which means this war was planned well in advance, when the plandemic scare and the "We vaxx you all, voluntarily or not !" operation still ongoing. And official statements about possible blackouts were officially circulating here in September/October last year.

My point is, the plandemic/vaxx/war sequence was the plan from the beginning. Only the war took an "undesirable" direction because of those "damn rooskies", I believe ...

KROMM · 2022-09-22T10:24:49Z

Psstoffgoy It's war-time economy soon to be deployed. That's why no-one cares about food supplies or general needs of the public anymore.

We are all expected to die because of vaccines, poor living conditions and WAR ON OUR TERRITORY.

That's why both sides are pushing up the ante, and why no one cares about the common American or European peasant.. Depopulation is coming! It's already here, but it's only getting started.. And winter is almost here as well. I think only those who can adapt to pretty much the harshest conditions can survive, if they manage to avoid soldiers and jabs of ANY kind

KROMM · 2022-09-22T10:38:52Z

codis I've learned about the "Plan" in 2015 from people that had close ties with high-ranked bureaucrats - back then it was known that it will include chipping people, digital government and banking identity (One Identity for all) and WAR IN EUROPE, though the tiny details were obviously still being discussed and only around 2017/2018 they started producing "Covid" propaganda material (stickers, posters, placards with "warnings" and "guidance" for "pandemic" of "Covid-19" specifically, those were used in France and other countries across the Europe, maybe there are still photos online somewhere..) and my personal bet is that Russian government is on board with ALL THAT, however our only true allies are COMMON Russian people, not their government, not ANY government around the globe..!

All that happened only served to further the Great Reset (depopulation) agenda, I cannot see it any other way. How many times have the elites manipulated the masses into mutual slaughter for the "good case"? No reason for war is good reason, defending oneself is a necessity, but the ones attacking are always funded and organised by "someone" - and that is precisely the culprit of it all. Along with people who fall for that and grab arms to kill other people, who happen to be just as much brainwashed, just in the opposite direction.

Governance over people is an art of manipulating them to the extremes, so they never gain the power to get rid of their overlords, by whom they're led into mutual slaughter with similar fools. "Enlightened" people need no guidance and no governance, they're in control of themselves and their lives. But how many are out there? I think it's only a small fraction, most people fell for the DIVIDE

Davke · 2022-09-22T10:53:47Z

codis Indeed, the pivot from Covid to the war in Ukraine was planned well in advance and with one aim, to keep the plebs in the gutter where they believe we belong.

codis · 2022-09-22T11:30:00Z

KROMM

I've learned about the "Plan" in 2015 from people that had close ties with high-ranked bureaucrats - ...

I had only heard rumors (a.k.a. "conspiracy theories") back then, and could observe the slow and steady move toward this goal. Though I cannot claim I have seen the plandemic coming ...

... and my personal bet is that Russian government is on board with ALL THAT, ...

I guess you are aware that all the vaxx "variants" are basically the same. I knew that about the Russian version for more than a year, it legally is more or less a (licensed) copy of Moderna - I think.... And I am not at all surprised that the Chinese, Indian, Iranian and Cuban versions are the same.

But IMHO that only proves that they were on board at that time . I think neither the Russian nor the Chinese governments were aware that the plan was to destroy their countries by war, and balkanize them in the process.

And I think this is were they veered off - first the Russians in late autumn last year, when they realized the war would start on their border. Then the Chinese and Indians, after they realized how weak the West is in economic and financial terms, and even military.

I see no fatal path to the dystopian world of Schwab and Gates.

I know, opinions diverge here, and it's not my job to convince anybody. Just my opinion.

KROMM · 2022-09-22T11:46:36Z

codis I thank you for your opinion and I hope you're correct. But my opinion is that "power" always stands united against the "peasants", they might fight for bigger profit among themselves, but they will never, ever stop exploiting and controlling the common peasant through emotional manipulation (fear the greatest tool) and if necessary, eradicating the "overpopulated" peasantry that threatens to wriggle out of their dominion over time.. Which is exactly where humanity was heading naturally, unless they manage to stop it by war & vaccines.

I think escalating the conflict will provide them with opportunity to put the WHOLE Europe under "martial law" of some kind, perhaps then abuse it to vaccinate as close to 100% peasants as possible. Since they've got millions of even poorer peasants from the third world migrating to Europe for decades, and NOBODY forces THEM to get vaxxed

They might be pretty much the "servant class" replacement, since they will get enough luxury and property to be grateful for that - after we die out. The larger picture doesn't look any good for us "Europeans", wherever we came from in times ancient. We're the ones to be sacrificed for the status quo the THIRD time, since a single World War was not enough to destroy us or Russia either.

Now they've pretty much ensured it will fail this winter from all imaginable angles - armed conflict, lack of food, lack of heat, lack of fuel, lack of employment, lack of good health thanks to the jabs.. It's a perfect storm in brewing.

I wish you the best of luck Codis, I hope we can rebuild what's left of this mess and not become the European Caliphate they've planned for many decades.. Or, we've to get over it and admit we face extinction given the percentage of our nations compared to the rest of the globe. No wonder they're emboldened enough to strip us of our wealth accumulated from hundreds of generations of hard work. It just might work this time..

codis · 2022-09-22T11:59:17Z

KROMM

Since they've got millions of even poorer peasants from the third world migrating to Europe for decades, and NOBODY forces THEM to get vaxxed ...

Can't speak with assurance, but the not so insignificant Turkish polulation here has about the same vaxx ratios. And those that came lately from God-knows-where are surely not the smartest one's. Some might instinctively distrust governments and doctors, but they were targeted with the same propaganda and fearmongering as the indigenous population.

I don't know how it ends, but I think the bets are off. And I prepare for bad times ...

KROMM · 2022-09-22T12:12:20Z

codis Well, were they submitted to the same extortion tactics like the majority? For example here in Czechia, the gypsy minority never got the same treatment like the majority that was threatened by loss of all kinds of normal human rights they called "privileges".. But no-one forced the gypsies or even dared to fine them for not wearing a mask (since they would probably respond very violently and not pay anything, the Police knows that very well )

But I guess our deadly overlords were happy for anyone that came for a jab thanks to all that "it's necessary or you'll die" poopaganda.. No matter of their ethnic background. It's the numbers that count.

KROMM As I wrote here many times, I am sure of the repeatability of history.

Taking into account the current situation, fragmentarily, I would agree with my colleague.

But on a larger scale, I know they've been doing it for thousands of years!

I don't know where they get their energy from and I don't know what they need it for, but it is!

Already in 1410, they were going to blow up everything here in the east.

The Battle of Grunwald was an invasion of Western troops into the Eastern territories!

Before that, there was Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and later there was Napoleon in 1812.

A hundred years later, attempts were made to smash it from within, through the October Revolution and the Bolshevik "plague."

Another, 100 years later, Hitler appears, keeping the standard slogan "Drag nach osten".

... and now again .....

KROMM · 2022-09-22T14:17:16Z

KRNABRNY Yes - and they still haven't eradicated us Slavs (as they like to call us)

And they won't do so this time either

But they're still quite succesful at what they do - manipulate us into killing each other while they get a religious exemption from service (and death) in the Army.. It goes on for thousands of years and they hope they can finish the sloppy job this time, I can see as much as that.. But I doubt they're prepared enough to dismantle Russia from the inside while they wage war with us as cannon fodder against Russia.. It will weaken everyone again, but including West itself this time, all fitting into the globalist plans..

If TPTB truly wanted "peace", then there would be no wars. But they need a lot of free, uninhabited space in Ukraine owned by the West to relocate a massive amount of chosen people to that promised land and the conflict will end when such an arrangement becomes viable.. But A LOT of Slavic blood will be shed for that goal.

[Link] <- this explains a lot and it has been known for a decade already, they just don't say it out loud in any media, but ALL the top politicians KNOW, including dear mr. Putin

We Slavs have NONE own national governments, all have been infiltrated and subverted to do the globalist bidding, leading us into digital slavery of technocracy. Russia and China included.

We live under One World Government for quite some time already, it's just that the masses are still not prepared to accept that fact and in turn that means rebellion would arise, which leads to the necessity of destroying ALL potential of armed revolt among nations BEFORE the One World Government can be OFFICIALLY admitted

When one realizes why we had 2 World Wars and now are on brink of a third, one accepts that these "people" won't stop at ANYTHING. Including killing 90% + of humanity.

And our ancestors KNEW precisely that, and they know that WE know

JTF Truth · 2022-09-22T14:18:06Z

KRNABRNY Yes, so true.

KROMM · 2022-09-22T14:25:04Z

LindaMay Gypsies got many things right, we could learn from them a lot

I guess no wonder they refuse to participate in our society in other ways than grabbing the "free money" we give them so they don't resort to crime as much, since obviously everyone needs money.

A good start would be if we asked for a mere half of the dole they get depending on the amount of kids they've got. But I guess the problem of the white slave is that he cannot admit others doing better than him in this immoral system we've got mainly thanks to own racist pride - well, who's holding the short end of the rope here? We're more stupid than they are since they at least grab the opportunity instead of b*tching all day long how UNFAIR it all is

Anyway, have a great day!

Good point.

codis That's the only hope - that people in general on all levels of society realize they have nothing to lose anymore by resisting this system and start to build their own parallel system, unless, of course, we would like to live in anarchy where former state armed forces have the upper hand over the population that is little equipped.

Hopefully all these directors and owners of companies that are not on board or owned by transnational corporations can cooperate on avoiding the technocratic system implemented across all "developed" and many "third world" countries.. Otherwise the common, land-less and month-to-month living peasant doesn't stand a chance to digital EVERYTHING

We need that "mass awakening" more than ever, but I don't believe in such miracles anymore, I think all miracles are either psyop or lack of background info
