Suck it EU, suck the USSA ass really hard, because this is the only gas you will get, out of obamas ass.
For readers who need a history lesson, Imagine the situation... A mere year ago.. Ukraine was a calm and peaceful nation, it had extremely good gas deals with Russia, buying the cheapest gas in Europe, it was about to get a 19 billion dollar loan and it was going to join the Eurasian economic zone.. All was well..
But then the democratically elected president dared to oppose the will of USA.. And within months he was overthrown by a violent antidemocratic coup that installed pro-USA Nazis and oligarchs as the new junta government, the people of Crimea took their chance and seceded while the unconstitutional pro-USA junta was still new in power... And the Donbass region took the chance and voted for more self-rule... At which the pro-USA coup government responded to by sending armed Nazi battalions and forced conscripts.. Starting the Ukrainian civil war.
Now the Ukrainian economy is ruined.
20,000+ Ukrainian soldiers are dead.
Ukraine pays normal gas prices.
Ukraine is moments away from default.
Ukraine's relationship with its brother Russia is ruined.
The Donbass region is in revolt and Crimea is lost forever.
Even if Donbass was taken back with military violence there would be partisan warfare there forever due to all the acts of terror and genocide committed by the pro-USA forces (Starvation, cluster-bombing, terror)
And now Ukraine is about to loose its biggest source of income, the oil/gas pipelines to Europe.
Ukraine's situation has gone from positive to hell in a mere couple of months. Just like the situation in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, where USA meddled as well.
