OREANDA-NEWS  The British media broke out with a series of publications, the general semantic and emotional motive of which can be expressed as follows: "Russia is squeezing its atomic fingers on the neck of the free world" — and this is not about the threat of using nuclear weapons at all.

British analysts recalled that, in addition to the promoted natural gas and the renewable energy sources adored by London, nuclear power plants play a significant role in the production of electricity — a key resource of modern life. They analyzed the data and summed up that there is dependence on Russia here too.

Since statistics and facts are not very convincing, the Western press uses lexical and psychological details to aggravate the situation in publications.

The work of Western journalists creates a completely unambiguous background against which Russia acts as an eternal blackmailer and aggressor. In particular, the reader is informed in an ultimatum form that it was Vladimir Putin (personally and as the embodiment of everything Russian for the West) who first blocked the supply of natural gas to Europe, and now threatens to deploy caravans with uranium fuel for British and European reactors.

The style and order of presentation are arranged in such a way that an ordinary Briton, tortured by work and everyday problems, will be completely convinced that it was the evil Russians who cut energy supplies long before the start of their own, and now they are trying to strangle the free world of democracy in this way. And nowhere is there a single word that Moscow has been convincing Brussels and London for years on end of the profitability of long-term contracts, that absolutely all agreements were scrupulously fulfilled to the last cubic meter and liter, that Russia has endured Kiev's antics for many years, including gas theft and direct blackmail, just to secure these very contracts.

There is no mention that the construction of the "Northern Streams" was not an insidious move to get Europe hooked on Russian gas, but a critical necessity, since the Ukrainian route turned into something akin to traveling through the Gulf of Aden along the coast of Somalia. That after Bulgaria's refusal to build the South Stream, in order to maintain the volume of mutually beneficial trade, it was necessary to build the Turkish stream already. And that the gas pipelines at the bottom of the Baltic were blown up — so hastily that the investigative commission, blushing, still refuses to name the direct cause and perpetrator of the sabotage.
