Yeh, moronic point. The West tried to weaponize Russia’s energy against it. Meanwhile Russia has kept providing cheap energy to Europe to subsidize its industry despite everything that’s been happening since 2014.
Europe then going nuclear, effectively sanctioning itself back into the stone ages is hardly Russia’s fault. It’d be more than happy to just fucking sell its energy to Europe.
Still, its 2022 and I have to make plans on how to stay warm in winter without heating while unprecedented heatwaves are currently wrecking the globe - it’s just surreal man.
It just amazes me that people who have been screeching about market economy this and partnerships that just turn into surprised Pikachu the moment the other party acts like it is indeed a market. And it’s not like Gazprom et al are actually imposing an embargo, they straight up said they want to continue trading (despite all the bloodthirsty rhetoric coming out of EU), they even came up with a scheme to continue trading when EU made the usual method impossible. Imagine treating your baker like this and then be surprised when your stomach starts rumbling.

Sorry, at this point I’m rambling.
