>- First of all it was due to the EU's own "green" faggotry: shutting down coal, fuel, and even nuclear plants

This didn't happen this year. EU had that politics for years. The most recent closure of nuclear power plant happened in Germany in 2017, but most of them in early 2010s. EU policies are surely main reason of energy crisis in long-term period, but I talk about short-term (i.e. current unexpected prices rise).

>- Euro zone economic activity is picking up after flu hysteria, driving demand
>- Winter is coming: countries (including gas transit partners) are storing reserves

In 2018 there were no coronavirus, and economic activity was better than today, and winter still happened.

> nobody can claim that Russia is not in her right to limit business

Yes, it perfectly reasonable for Russia to use this situation, and it is normal. But it is mostly EU fault that they got into that situation, because it is goal of foreign politics to prevent such crisises. They've had different choices, 1) stop NS2 completely and force Russia to continue normal operations as before (Russia also needs EU as market), also trying to get alternative sources 2) Don't oppose NS2 and go peacefully with Russia - in that case it would be already working. But EU decided to get worst combination of two choices, first trying to confront Russia on it, then giving up but not completely.

>Also Russia does not have a monopoly on EU gas, what are you saying?
