About the gas conflict between Rússia and Ukraïna, both countries take profit from the lowering in the gas supply to the rest of Europe. Rússia is remembering to Europe our dependence an important energy source suplied for them. A good probe to check the european reaction. And Ukraïna is pressuring the rest of Europe, blaming the russians as the unique cause of the problem and insinuating that any other european country could have the same problem in the future. Wich is essentially true.
Anyway it's strange to realize how quickly are forgotten by Western Europe any strategic considerations after a short period without tension with Russia
