“Germany as well as the rest of Europe are reliant upon Russian oil.”

Well, there we are, the point at issue. Nobody is “reliant” on Russian oil. Oil is a fungible commodity (with a very few exceptions, such as poor quality Venezuelan oil that can’t be refined everywhere) and is moreover globally traded. This is a very important point. Russian oil is eminently substitutable by oil from elsewhere. And Russia can sell its oil in lots of places. Same-same, the balance is maintained.

You admitted the issue. The issue is that it is now Russian oil, not Ukrainian oil. They STOLE that oil.

What does it take to get you to focus on this issue, anyways? Russia invaded so that the money for that oil goes to THEM, not to Ukraine.

If I invade your house, point a gun at you and take all your shiite, do you care at that time that someone else down the line is gonna pay less for your shiite than you did? NO. You care about your EXISTENCE. Your ability to BUY more shiite. So Germany steps in and puts up a barrier stopping your bully neighbor from shooting you, do you care that someone down the road might buy shiite from Walmart instead of Target? NO! So focus on the issue here. The issue isn’t whether your neighbor shops at Walmart or Target, the issue is that some @$$#0/e has a gun pointed at your face and wants to rape your wife and take more of your shiite. Gigantic, yuge duhh factor.
