I have a couple questions. Is it Ukraine or Russia that the EU regarded as a resource colony? Also, with Nordstream was Russia desiring to partially fulfill that role while also trying to maintain/develop their own economic sovereignty? I forget the particulars, but I know there was some aspect of partial Ukrainian integration into the EU that would have repercussions in Russia.
I new that the collapse of the USSR was an unprecedented disaster, but I had never considered all the ways it contributed to the dominance of finance in the west.

Both countries fulfill the role of being large commodity exporters.

Likely it was to get around piping gas through overland routes. You can see from this map that there were already pipelines into Germany, but as the attached paper describes, some of these lines have been shut off in the past due to political crises, which has fueled the creation of new overseas lines (such as the south stream)
Uh, sir, this is a Wendy’s.
