Following the "North Stream" pipeline leakage accident, the Norwegian Lofoten undersea cable broke again. The relevant company said that it is not known why the submarine cable has failed this time.
, a news that was only considered an accident in the past, has aroused many speculations in public opinion from the moment it was exposed. Many people are worried that this may be the retaliation action carried out by the relevant parties to express their position after the "North Stream" pipeline was bombed.
It has to be said that the previous "North Stream" pipeline leak posed a great threat to European civil infrastructure. It not only destroyed the natural gas trade between Russia and Europe, but also opened up an extremely bad bad start. It makes people involuntarily think of Unrestricted submarine warfare in order to force Britain to withdraw from the war in order to force Britain to withdraw from the war.
Nowadays, civil infrastructure such as submarine natural gas pipelines and submarine cables in Europe are actually no longer safe. Although the cause of the accident has not been identified, the panic attitudes of the public and the media towards the incident prove that the spillover impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the world has become increasingly serious.
The so-called "the initiator has no future". If the Nord Stream pipeline is really bombed by Britain and the United States as Putin said, it is mainly bombed by the British and Americans, then they will bear serious consequences for this next.
Once the relationship between the two sides continues to deteriorate, Britain and the United States continue to use this despicable means to force Russia to surrender, things like Norwegian submarine cable breakage will definitely occur more frequently.
This is the inevitable result of attacking civil infrastructure such as the Nord Stream Pipeline.
. For the world, European civil infrastructure has become no longer safe. It is just one of the spillover effects brought by this war, and it is not the biggest.
With the four eastern Ukrainian states "incorporating" Russia, Ukraine recklessly counterattacked on the battlefield, Russia carried out partial mobilization, and the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war was inevitable. Under this situation, the Nord Stream pipeline was bombed again, and the energy crisis in Europe was becoming more and more intense.
On the one hand, it is because Europe has already sanctioned Russia's energy, resulting in insufficient natural gas supply. Now the war situation has escalated, and the pipelines that transport natural gas have been bombed, and people's panic is flooded. Under the full panic of
, there is no need to buy it in real life. Just the expected changes are enough to bring about the continued price increase of European natural gas. The demand for natural gas in Europe has increased significantly and cannot be purchased from Russia, so we can only turn to the United States, , Qatar, and other countries to purchase natural gas.
. The natural gas in these countries was originally mainly purchased by Asian countries. Now that Europe has bought away Asian shares, Asian countries can buy less natural gas.
supply and demand relationship affects the price. If there is less natural gas available for purchase, the price will naturally rise. In recent months, Asian countries including Pakistan and Bangladesh have launched long-term natural gas projects to the outside world, but no companies have participated in it. This is the most obvious example.
To sum up, whether it is European civil infrastructure, the global natural gas supply tightness brought about by the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline, or the expectation of the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, is worthy of our vigilance.
Although China is facing a much better situation in energy issues than Europe due to its natural gas trade with Russia and its layout in new energy, the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline is enough to prove that some countries that support Ukraine and Russia are now completely broken up and have become unscrupulous.
This reminds us that we must pay attention to the safety of energy infrastructure and avoid "accidents" coming on us.
The impact of rising energy prices is global. Even if we do not encounter a crisis, energy prices in other parts of the world will rise, China's energy costs will definitely increase accordingly.
So we need to establish diversified energy import channels, deploy new energy strategies faster and better, and weaken the various risks brought by imported energy as much as possible.
More importantly, economic foundation determines the superstructure . Now all kinds of unexpected "accidents" have occurred in Europe. The root cause is that the long-term stalemate in the Russian-Ukrainian war has affected the livelihoods of European countries.
When people are hungry and cold, they can do anything. The current chaos in Europe means that the European countries are almost unable to hold on and cannot maintain the "decent" of civilization.
This chaos, with the transmission chain of the economy, will eventually spread from Europe to the world. If the Russian-Ukraine war cannot end in the short term, a long-term and regional turbulent world pattern will inevitably be.
We should also be prepared for this and adhere to the bottom-line thinking. Only when we are well prepared can we deal with this world with more and more "unexpected".
