#2Updated Weekly. In my opinion much more informative and with better visualisation that the story on the front page.

Storage + usage isnt enough either.
The picture is only clear with storage + production + LNG import capacity + usage + population.

Why LNG specifically? There are other sources of pipeline gas that aren’t coming from Russia.

#6Economies, when left alone, are about as resilient as cockroaches and much more brutal about securing themselves. The situation is a serious blow to the pride of the European politicians who look like they've been mishandling energy policy for years (where are the nuclear reactors?). But realistically they'll probably survive in practice. It'll be painful.
The issue is that somehow the West has taken Iraq 2.0 and is turning it into the prelude for a WWIII. We shouldn't be encouraging Russia and China to ally, and we should be giving Russia as many diplomatic off-ramps to calm the situation down as is humanly possible. Demonising people doesn't help. All the face-slapping that has been taking place has been unproductive.

You can see how steep the curves are now (mostly without russian supply), and how steep the typically are, to get some general idea. I don't think you can get more than some gut feeling anyway, as I don't think you can model such highly dynamic model that mostly depends on the weather in four months.

In France. Mostly idling.

What you're describing is basically why Kissinger et al lobbied to kick out Taiwan from the UN, lobbied to shut down Taiwan's nuclear weapons program at the UN and worked so hard to intertwine US and Chinese economies. It's also the reason why Kissinger had that speech and the WEF advising the political leadership of the west to change course.
It doesn't really matter though, there seems to be no way to have a reasonable discussion on this topic without being attacked as a Putin sympathizer in most places of the "free world".

Too many in charge of policy who have never served in the military. War can be more profitable than peace. They could have had a cease fire, but they squelched it.
