Across the UK, tens of thousands of people took to the streets to protest against the crisis in the cost of living, back-firing sanctions and climate change: the British expressed their disappointment with their government’s policies in these areas, reports The Independent. Simultaneously, 50,000 railroad workers went on strike across the country on Saturday.
Without Russian gas, the economic situation in Europe will quickly deteriorate. Given the NATO attacks on Nord Stream, there is no real way back. However, as The Spectator writes, ‘when Europe plunges into an economic black hole, the American economy, which is already rather weak, will follow it. Therefore, the situation with Russian gas pipelines may become the point that future historians will call the end of Western dominance.’
The people of the Baltic States, Poland, East Germany, the Czech Republic, and former Eastern Europe from the Baltic to the Black Sea have been here before. These are the people enslaved by the Soviet Empire unfollowing the handover of 21 European nations to Stalin by US President Roosevelt and unelected premier Winston Churchill at Yalta in 1945.
In June, the military alliance experimented with unmanned subs near the island of Bornholm. NATO conducted exercises using deep-sea equipment in the area where gas leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were detected this week, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

Sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia over its military offensive in Ukraine have backfired, according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who pointed out that skyrocketing energy prices in Europe were the result of the Brussel imposed sanctions on Russia.
In the German city of Lubmin, many thousands of people demonstrated against Berlin’s ruinous energy policy, Welt reports. Russian flags were seen everywhere. People complained about the shortage of gas, the rise in the price of food, and the fact that the authorities were essentially ‘knocking the ground out from under their feet.’
The temperature in the last week of September in Europe will drop several degrees below the seasonal norm, according to Bloomberg. For the population, this will be a test of strength and discipline in the light of attempts by the beleaguered floundering U directorate to enforce the reduction of energy consumption.
The restriction of Russian gas deliveries has raised prices in Europe to astronomical heights and marked the beginning of a terrible economic storm. As Foreign Policy writes, factories, companies and families across the continent are engaged in a battle for survival that is putting Europe’s solidarity against Moscow’s pre-emptive strike on Eastern Ukraine to push back NATO advances to the test and raising fears of an imminent recession.
