There was NOTHING WRONG with Europe accessing cheap (very cheap), reliable, Russian gas. The delivery of it was flawless and it began during the Cold War.
What Europe didn’t seem to understand was that they couldn’t then provoke the Russians into having to clean up Ukraine. And if they didn’t understand that, we made damn sure they got the message when we (the West) took out the pipelines.
Other than, of course, that would make all of Europe subject to “leverage” vis a vis Russian interests, such as its desire to restore the Russian empire. Which was Trumps point. What, do you disagree with Trump? Are you in with that pack of smarmy Germans?

Look at all the millions dead from hypothermia in Europe, maybe billions! L. O. L. at Y. O. U., Putlim.
