Fuck Slovakia for these threats. They've had almost 3 years to prepare, without their infrastructure being constantly bombed.
Bunch of entitled assholes. With friends like that...
It would also be a clear possibility that Russia would block the gas anyway, as they did even before the war to put pressure on EU.
Russia is not a reliable or trustworthy partner, Slovakia should have realized that, and taken steps to not depend on Russia.
If Slovakia has shortages now, it's 100% their own fault.

While Fico said that Slovak households would not face energy shortages, he said Slovakia stands to lose €500 million ($513 million) annually in transit revenue.

Oh for fucks sake!!!

Fucking right. Perfectly stated. Fico is a shit, and clearly so were his predecessors that they thought they could luxuriate in cheap Russian gas forever. What garbage policy-making is this?
