Europe could “go down completely” – Putin ally warns of attack on port of Rotterdam

A member of the Russian duma defense committee and the former regional military commander, has suggested that Europe would be “in a bad spot” if Russia attacked Europe’s largest oil center in the Netherlands.

Andrei Gurulyov, a State Duma deputy, said on state television that Europe would “perish” if Russia decided to attack the Netherlands, where about 40 percent of Europe’s crude oil is received and processed, according to a Yahoo News report.

“No less than 40 percent of crude oil is imported from the Netherlands and processed in its coastal areas,” Gurulyov said. “This is such a small spot that it would be hard to miss.”

He further stressed, “…the main supply chain is via oil tankers; we don’t even need a missile. One torpedo is enough, especially if it is docked in port. It will burn along with the entire infrastructure of the port. Europe will not just freeze; it will go down completely.”
