All that, and the EU could also just not be azzholes to Russia and conduct normal business dealings. Russia wanted to make money on oil and gas, and be treated with the most basic respect. the EU needs gas and doesn’t want to produce it at home. Both sides need peace for a business environment to flourish. It’s amazing what all could happen if the EU just gave up trying to control the world and back up their control with NATO (USA).
Yes, the EU is just being mean to Russia for no reason. Here is an idea, let Russia go home and then Russia and the world could conduct normal business dealings.
