This is a quite interesting series of events in geopolitics. Power factions forming in new ways, as power is applies by the powerful, one against another. Not just a matter of public relations and media narratives.

"Despite a range of sanctions and the threat posed by dependence on Russian energy, in the third year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, EU imports of Russian fossil fuels in particular remain largely unchanged, totalling EUR 21.9 bn, a 6% year-on-year drop in value but merely a 1% year-on-year drop in volumes."

That last link is a doozy, because Turkey is a NATO member, as well as the second largest military after the US in NATO. Meanwhile, the loudest barking comes from some of the "Coalition of the Willing" folks, who aren't marching into battle -- yet.

Isn't media interesting, these days?

Think of the Monumental hypocrisy because all of those countries also make loud noises about not using fossil fuels. So they help to destroy the world in multiple ways because really they are just greedy pigs.

Of course the shame is we had Biden and some of our states preventing the export of natural gas and oil from the United States which could be a substitute for Russian oil.

The left impoverishes people, gets people killed, and damages the National Security of Their Own countries.
