In the midst of European nation’s unrest over the energy crisis, if Russia resumes it’s supply, wouldn’t that be hypocritical and, more concerning, reverse the progress the world has made towards the destruction of this wretched hegemony?

    Would you do business with a country that systematically cuts off supply to other countries when relations turn sour?

      Would you do business with a country that refuses to pay for resources you are selling them? With priority?

        That’s besides the point. Most countries in the world don’t choose to do business with the West. They are forced to, and in disadvantageous conditions. Russia is not imperialist, so it must behave in a more responsible and restrained manner.

          That’s the only point there is. Russia is still capitalist, and is controlled by capitalists.

            Well then yes. Russia will totally do business with the West again. They’ll even join NATO if they’re allowed to.

              Straight up tried to a few times. Although nowadays that would be asking for a paddling from China.
