Energy wankery goes on.

So beyond these things Fidesz media says (well some official or exbert there) the Ukrainians attack various infrastructures (power grid was mentioned specifically) related to the pipelines since 2022 November.

Now these things were floated, the first I heard earlier in previous years:
- Ukraine gets 80% of her electricity via Hungary and Northern Hungary.
- Ukraine gets her diesel from Slovnaft (part of MOL Group...) ensuring her vehicles run, not just the military ones, but civilians such as ambulances - this reminder was given through a phone call by Pozsony to Kiev
How these statements are presented, they sound like a threat, that:
>hurr durr we can cut it too
We can't tho, we have multilateral contracts and obligations.
So what these are useful is to show that we do help Ukraine in her effort both the war and in general to keep the state afloat, to keep the country, the economy, the services work. So these hostile actions that target the oil and gas pipelines are uncalled for.

Problem is...
I do not think it's Ukraine doing it. Just the same as not three Ukrainians with a rented boat blew up the Nord Stream while a NATO navy exercise went on an arrowflight away. The US wants to cut off Europe from Russian energy, they blew up the Nord Stream and they tell the Ukrainians what to target in Russia, they even supply the weapons, the intel, the sat images, the guidance.
Ukrainians are just expandable tools, and if this makes the neighbourly friendship impossible, the better for the US.
