    Becomes a snowman!

      Don’t worry about the EU getting cut off from African LMG because the USA is ready and eager to supply whatever LNG EU nations need. Ofc just like when the US stepped in to take over the market opened up by the destruction of Nordstream, the EU will be paying a heavy markup over what they would have paid for African LNG. God bless the USA, advancing US national interests, and the power of free markets. Shareholders rejoice!

        Proles freezing to death while their bourgeoisie overlords laugh and toast in their heated palaces is good?

            This attitude is wildly out of step with how AES states view the working class in the imperial core.

            Xi Jinping:

            Fourth, we must foster friendly sentiments among the peoples. People-to-people relations underpin state-to-state relations…

            We will never forget the moral support and invaluable assistance the American people gave to our just resistance against aggression and our struggle for freedom and independence. The Chinese people have always held American entrepreneurship and creativity in high regards…

            The foundation of the China-U.S. friendship has its roots in the people and its future rests with the youth. I want to announce here that China supports the initiative of sending a total of 50,000 Chinese and American students to study in each others’ countries over the next three years. China and the U.S. will launch a year of tourism in 2016. China on its part will create more favorable conditions for closer people-to-people exchanges.

      Eh, that’s what people said about 2022/23 winter. Did anything actually happen? I didn’t notice

        The last one was taken straight from a Guardian headline, only changing Truss to Sunak where the government campaigned to get people to “reduce their heating to save money”. It took a lot of public effort such as the don’t pay campaign to block attempts from the government and corporations from raising energy prices too much. Those prices are still going up right now sources and the overall cost of living has gone up ever since the beginning of the war source.

        Although inflation has dropped, it’s still at an alarming 7.9% and so all the cost increases from last year will only compound in the coming winter, even if the Trans-Sahara pipeline is not affected. Thankfully all the Windsor palaces have pretty good heating and probably can help those who need a hot place to stay.

        Either you’re too young to pay your heating bill or extremely privileged… Many families had to decide between heating or eating.
