If Russia should push EU to the wall, they will find an alternative! They will suffer for sometime, but they will certainly find alternative. When one way is blocked, it will push u to find another, that is life. But when they find another, what will be the fate of Russia? Will they trade alone? If the Whole Europe should go against Russia, Russia won't survive it. It is not easy to win the majority when it comes to economy.

Yes they would but alternative that is as cheap as Russia energy takes time and while looking for alternative what happens to Eu citizen.implications riots and high cost of living and so on and so forth

Yes Eu will survive but they will bleed more than Russia

Russia will be the one to bleed more, do you know What it means for your economy to be isolated? EU will have a Choice But Russia will not.

Like If you visit Cuba, you will see they still use cars of the 60s, that wss because of sanctions placed on them. Imagine Russia with big population.

My brother, a lot of people here on nairaland make comments base on sentiment and emotion..
There is a reason why demand comes before supply.

That is what I am saying, they will suffer for sometime but they will find another alternative. Are u saying if Russia cut of their gas supply EU will end? They are lazy to find alternative because Russia is there, once Russia cut off their supply, they will put on their thinking cap & find alternative. But what will happen to Russia? The money they make from gas supply? Their trade with other European countries?? It will ruin Russia! No man is an island.

Putin has access everything and he knows its just a paper sanction nothing more

Not Qatar, Azeri or Saudi can supply EU with cheap gases.
It was German government that pushed Russia to build NS1 and NS2 because German want to cut off middle countries Ukraine and Poland.

Can u guys stop being sentimental?
Are u saying if Russia as a country decides to stop gas supply to europe that will be the end of Europe? Is that how low u see Europe as a continent? If Africa were to be using gas from Russia, they will find another alternative let alone a continent as developed as Europe. In economics, demand comes before supply. So far Russia is not controlling the natural air they breath in Europe, they will suffer for some time & find another alternative. It is common sense!

Please always check before you type, Paper sanction indeed.
Do you know how many of their citizens this will affect?
Let me give you instance; There is a Russian Cargo ship currently hold up by French Authority due to the sanctions, If A russian citizens owns a Cargo in that ship, and have used all his/her business savings to purchase that cargo, What do you think will be the fate of that person, especially if that is the only way to make incomes to feed the family, Paper Sanction?

I’m not saying no alternative
I’m talking about the cheap gas
Why are Europeans and USA companies moving to China and India.
It’s about get things done cheaper
Why do you think China signed PS2 after PS1

Forget that cargo.
France will release it.
I remember when EU banned weapons export to Libya.
When Turks cargo was boarded France navy and everyone was arrested then because weapons were found.
Cargo was released later as Turks navy were order to board any French ships
Russia also have navy ships around the world to board and take French cargo ships

Lets watch and see, you can Fight sanction when you have allies, But even the only ally Russia hopes for is already back stabbing them.
And mind you, that situation you mentioned is quite different from current.

They are willing to take that risk that was why they invaded Ukraine..they know there will be sanctions yet they did it

Which 'they'? There is only one brain behind Ukraine invasion, Putin. His officials only support him under duress
