It is worth noting that Russia still hasn’t shut off energy supplies to Europe entirely. Russia has the ability to inflict even more pain if they so choose.
Vladimir Putin in recent comments, publicly threatened to stop supplying Europe with all energy supplies if they continue acting foolishly.

Europe is making nonsense claims about the reality of the situation. There is a New York Times headline describing how the Europeans are saying that Putin’s gas power is weakening.
"Europe Says Putin’s Gas Power Is Weakening."
Don't know what that means. Sanctions have only hurt Europe.
Putin is making more money selling less gas at higher prices elsewhere.
Europe is facing a bleak winter of energy rationing and high prices.https://t.co/OInzjPAqEm

Seems as if Russia’s position is only growing stronger by the day, especially as we get closer and closer to the winter months. So I have no idea what they are talking about. It’s as if Europe’s political leadership is living in fantasy land. We are seeing stories across Europe talking about energy rationing, government bailouts for energy companies and people potentially being put in jail for setting their thermostats to high.
Here’s some interesting commentary about the general situation.
US never intended to use Europe as collateral damage in Ukraine war. Wanted to use Europe as leverage. They completely miscalculated Russia's economic resilience and support for Putin. Now they have no choice but to double and triple down and in process they are imploding west.
