The American media said that energy weapons are being created in Russia – more powerful than nuclear weapons.
Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to use a new weapon by Christmas.
According to The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, this weapon is “ more powerful than nuclear”, and it is an energy bomb.
The journalist believes that “the assembly of ” this weapon is being carried out these days.
Friedman calls it an oil and gas bomb, which Putin, according to the observer, uses in front of the West.
“It will be very painful for us”, – Friedman is sure.
He believes that if these weapons are used, fuel prices will soar into the stratosphere.
The journalist explains that in December Putin may stop the export of Russian fuel for 30 or 60 days.
This, in turn, will raise oil prices to $200 per barrel.
However, the West is torn apart by contradictions on the issue in the gas sector: it wants to leave the economy without hydrocarbons, but at the same time demands low oil prices.
“It will be Putin’s energy bomb and a Christmas gift to the West ”, – adds the journalist.
