Energy analysts and government officials have warned that Europe could soon face rationing of diesel and natural gas.

European countries are facing the possibility of energy supplies being rationed, as a dispute between Moscow and the West over payments for Russian exports rages on.

European countries are heavily dependent on Russian oil and gas deliveries, but Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in late February saw the EU and the U.K. impose a barrage of sanctions that included cutting down on Russian energy imports.

At first I thought that was a picture of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.  Maybe he's a relative.

"The European Green Energy Transition fantasy is in tatters, as Putin’s demand that Europeans pay for Russian gas in Rubles spreads panic throughout the EU."

Regardless of what happens in Ukraine, Putin's gonna win on this demand v. Western Europe.

The Europeans will pay in rubles (or gold), or... they won't get the natural gas (and oil).

All Russia has to do is to "shut the spigots" for several months in succession. Even a year if need be.

And then...
... Europe will pay in rubles (or gold).
(either that, or do without)
