It’s been a long journey.

The less dependent countries are on Russia for energy supply or anything else, the better in my opinion.

I hope countries like Canada don't have to make similar choices regarding the USAA>

Does any know if the USA have electrical grids that are interconnected with Canada or Mexico?

[Steve Miller]

@Axtremus

Yes.

There has been talk of Canada cutting off electrical feeds to the US.

The Baltic transition appears to have gone well.
Still, it's not over until the fat old judo player croaks.

[wtg]

Yes, I saw that.

Of course, this magnifies the geo-political importance of the Suwałki Gap

That's a very cool video.

the Suwałki Gap

My Mom was born in Vilkaviškis, which is located in the region Lithuanians call...wait for it...Suvalkija.

The territory has changed hands quite a lot ...
