> i wouldnt be surprised if russia cuts off oil and gas to Europe due to the sanctions imposed. That would be economic suicide, but if that decision will be taken it already has been taken, surely? Putin would know he'd face unprecedented sanctions but you can't just switch off the pipes. There are significant production decisions to be made quite far in advance, I think? Also I don't think you can just really decide to keep the fuel you've already pumped; the question of where to put it is a challenging one. He does have this choice but not in quite as simple, binary terms as it might seem, at least as far as I understand it. It'd be interesting to hear from someone with industrial domain knowledge though.
