This Is Not A Drill with Gavin Esler

🇺🇦 Surviving Putin's Energy War


Listen Later

As winter approaches, will Russia turn off the gas taps on Europe? How is the EU doing when it comes to cutting out Putin's energy supply? And is Britain failing to take advantage of their position in the European energy market?

Lecturer in European studies at King's College London Dr Alex Clarkson comes back on the show to tell Arthur Snell how Europe can survive Putin's energy war.

We're putting out irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding app Patreon: doomsdaywatch.co.uk

  •  “I worry about the UK because there isn’t a sense of urgency on how to deal with the energy crisis.”
  •  “The EU are slow when it comes decision making, but when their system is under threat they move quickly.”
  •  “Algeria is a hugely important state for the European system, but EU engagement has not been adequate.”
  •  “Putin has cards to play until spring 2023, then he’s out.”
  •  “If Germany runs into trouble over gas supplies, that affects everyone in Europe.”
  •  “If the UK Government acknowledged they had problems coming up they could tackle them.”

  • DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold. Theme tune and original music by Paul Hartnoll. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. DOOMSDAY WATCH is a Podmasters production
