    russia’s going pretty well atm actually, because the scarcity has made the price of russian oil skyrocket for those they don’t sell at a discount to (thus what’s in the map here). europe and the US still have a lot of sanctions on russia, but also created some ways to navigate around them because europe literally can’t replace its reliance on russia’s energy products in less than five or ten years.

    essentially, russia is selling a lot less energy to europe now, but not making much less money from it. really shows how insane it all is: the EU is literally just falling on its own sword to please their american masters

      Yes, this is crazy. I wonder how long they’ll be able to keep this lunacy, people are already starting to protest and it’s only going to get worse.
