They’ll still be using Russian gas and oil. They just won’t be getting it by way of Ukraine who bleeds off a tremendous amount. And what’s the alternative? Dependency on Middle Eastern gas and oil? And on a deeper level, the more trade there is between two nations, the less chance there is of warfare.You can’t have it both ways, that you want Russia to be in the family of nations, but you refuse to let them participate in capitalism.
The reason America opposes this pipeline bypassing Ukraine, is because politicians like Biden are paid a lot of money by Ukraine. And because the neocons are pushing for permanent hostility with Russia. DC is wrong on this one.
“the more trade there is between two nations, the less chance there is of warfare.”
Yes.
Logically, this shows there’s no justification for NATO.
But Europe wants NATO too.
