This article is very light on data, so I wondered what kind of research it came out of. Most notably this exact quote, fluffy as can be:
"""If a negotiated settlement took place, Russia would restore the gas."""
There is absolutely no evidence supporting this statement, on both sides of the equation: no indication of what kind of settlement would be offered, nor what would be accepted.
So I googled further, and courtesy of nymag: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/03/what-is-compact-magazine-for.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/03/what-is-compact-maga...
- moomin 4y agoThis should be the top-rated comment.
- ahoy 4y agoThis magazine is founded by a former NYPost Op-Ed editor & Wall Street Journal columnist. It's not surprising to me that they run, essentially, conservative opinion pieces dressed up as Meaningful Analysis.
- macintux 4y agoIt’s rather unfortunate that appeasing Russian aggression has become part of the conservative mainstream.
- consumer451 4y agoThis is something that truly baffles me. I have some theories of course, but they are near conspiratorial. How did this happen?
- jonathankoren 4y agoCould they even restore the gas now? Two major pipelines have holes in them.
- simonh 4y agoThose pipelines weren’t fully commissioned yet. Most of the oil and gas goes through pipelines via, er, Ukraine.
