Will this affect Poland and Hungary? Only thing I can think off is that Germany is rich and will be ok if the economy takes a hit but smaller countries like Poland, Hungary and other eastern countries will become even more economically depended on EU.
So by restricting gas from Russia to EU they can control dissidents.
The thing is, we won't be okay.
Our energy costs are already through the fucking roof.
If gas gets fucked too, we are completely screwed. There is no alternative, ever since we decided to axe both nuclear and coal power.
We have entire industries, that are basically going tits up, because they are very energy-intensive. It's just not profitable to operate a buisness when 70% of your expenses is energy.
I still believe the reason for this war is Von Der Leyen being able to draft us, but...
Isn't it weird that this is a perfect set-up for the German Greens to suggest moving entirely to useless green energy?
Did they go against Russia to create a situation where Gazprom could be kicked out of Europe?
It just does not make that much sense.

If this is their plan is freaking brilliant.

The Nord Streams were specifically made to bypass Poland (and Ukraine) in first place.
