Europe is still buying from Russia because it's so dependent on them for energy. That's after Angela Merkel convinced them to pull the plug on existing energy systems after falling for the Greta Thunberg bullshit that solar and wind can power the grid and will be save the planet from climate change. Their super expensive switch to renewables failed miserable and they're out of juice. Period

Just look up "Energiewende failure" and you'll see for yourself.

Russia has them by the balls. The entire west actually. Putin is indeed cutting off their energy supply but doing so on an incremental, reactive basis. Think chinese water torture to get your enemy to cry uncle and surrender.

Europe, US and NATO are powerless to do anything about it despite the msm propaganda to the contrary. Thank our dumbass incompetent western leaders for that. You think Afghanistan was a debacle? Wait til you see what's next with Ukraine. It's a rout and the map is about to be redrawn.
