And NOBODY would even dare to think to treat Russian monopolies like that. Monopolies that actually are a real threat to Europe. Like Gazprom.

- tomp 12y agoWell... right now, Europe pretty much depends on Gazprom et al. They are working fast trying to introduce alternatives (gas from US, new gas pipes under the Mediterranean and from the middle east, fracking in the UK), but there is a long way to go.
- pluma 12y agoThey spent years not introducing alternatives and instead become even further reliant on Russian gas. ... until the mess in the Ukraine started and they had to choose between Russia and the US (again). (insert snark about replacing one reliance with another via TTIP)
