As expected, Putin is threatening to cut gas supplies to Ukraine and Europe. What will this mean for Americans? The price of gasoline will increase at a minimum. The prospects for World War III are increasing by the hour. Without energy, Europe will have to submit to Putin’s demands as well as pay higher costs for energy. Ukraine’s costs for energy to Russia have doubled since their government collapsed.
Obama’s solution will be to print more money to give to Ukraine to pay off their debt to Russia to fund the Russian war machine. As I stated before, we go to war with the pResident that we have. I suggest filling spare gas cans today.

Russia’s Putin wants talks with Europe on Ukraine gas debt
President Vladimir Putin has told European leaders a dispute over Ukraine’s gas debt to Russia could affect supplies of Russian gas to Europe and proposed urgent discussions on the matter, his spokesman said on Thursday.
The remarks were the strongest sign yet that Russia could curtail supplies of gas to Ukraine, which could increase tension between Moscow and Kiev and aggravate the worst crisis in East-West ties since the Cold War.
“The situation is urgent,” Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said after Putin sent a letter expressing deep concern about Ukraine’s $2.2 billion gas debt and warning of a possible impact on the transit of Russian gas to the European Union.
