68 thousand died in the E.U. due to sanctions & Nord Stream Gas Pipelines’ terror attack: The Economist
|A bombshell has just been published by the magazine The Economist: 68 thousand people died this past winter in the European Union.
The cold winter and lack of heating due to expensive energy prices killed more people than Covid did, says the magazine.
This tragedy was caused due to energy sanctions the European Union imposed on Russia in 2022, and the terrorist attack that destroyed two enormous gas pipelines NorthStream 1 and 2, which provided 40% of energy to the E.U.
That compounded with corrupt energy corporations such as Iberdrola that raised gas and energy prices to up to 140% — while the European Union tried to mitigate the energy crisis offering very little or none energy subsidies to its people.
“Europe’s Tiny Steps Won’t Solve Its Energy Emergency The bad policies that created the crisis are still in place.” says F.P

In 2022, the mayority of the press reported that everything was fine and the E.U. had enough energy to warm its citizens, despite the fact that government buildings were ordered to cut energy consumption and the media asked people to lower thier heating consumption and shower less.
