He's desperate.

 

This won't go well for him.

 

Russian bear has been desperate many times over the years and they are still alive...

 

They have a hardy people who are used to hardship so they will survive. But whether or not Putin will survive, I don't know.

 

Russians cutting off the gas to Europe is like Malaysia cutting off SG's water supply - given enough time and will, Europe can wean themselves off Russian gas but certainly not so soon.

They should have already alternate source in place before they tickle the russian bear.

bad news for gas usage liao. Maybe Citygas and cylinder gas companies will increase gas prices soon.

 

Why? Our gas doesn't come from Russia.

 

I believes it comes from Indonesia (and we are also trying not to rely on them).

Decreased supply from Russia will mean that more demand for supplies from elsewhere, so price spike

 

As to Russia "surviving" - well sure they will survive - I'm just wondering if you compared the influence they have on world affairs, their land area, the power of their army today to where they were in say, 1984, what sort of conclusion would you draw?

 

I'm not geopolitically savvy, but I don't see how taking on the combined might of Europe and the US can possibly end well for him.

 

What are the basic options here? The "rest of the world" caves in and lets him keep the Ukraine, or the rest of the world amps up the pressure?

 

Just ask NK how long term sanctions work out for you.
